Shoes

Well in the end I didn't get the retro shoes (see previous post) however a few weeks back I bought these wee polka dot cuties so I thought I would share them with you instead. Only 30 days till I leave for University - very excited. Amy has been very naughty and has not posted in months however I have been keeping in touch with her via txt, letter and of course phone and she's up in Auckland at the moment. So Pink Cupcakes has pretty much become a one-girl-show!

YAY FOR HUGH LAURIE WINNING A AWARD FOR HOUSE ITS MY FAVOURITE TV SHOW!

Retro Shoes: To Get or Not To Get?

I got my jeans in the post yesterday and my pearls today so I am chuffed. I have now ordered a new top for going out in the evening (casual) and also picked up this cute Yellow Polka Dot Bag!

So they should come by the end of the next week sometime. Still got my polka dot wallet to come to. I am also toying with the idea of getting these shoes. I really like them but I am not sure if I would wear them? They are very retro.

The First 2007 Post

Well its been weeks since I last blogged...because of Christmas and New Year etc. I have been keeping up-to-date with reading other blogs though. I see Preppy Cafe has closed up and I am so upset! It was the first blog I ever read and I checked it religiously. University starts back in only 5 weeks. So I am very excited about that, don't know if I am looking forward to the 6 hour car journey up there (again). I have been shopping like mad for all the things I want for my new (dorm) room. EVERYTHING is pink and green or so it seems. I will take some before and after photos I hope and put them online so everyone can have a laugh about the abuse of pink and green. Haven't been much else recently I bought some new jeans yesterday and other than that everything is for the room or for uni. I did buy a whole new make-up set (mascara, foundation, lipgloss x 2, nail polish x 2) for uni also all of it Natio - love it!
