Trip to Daiso

Hi again! :)

As you can see by the title, I went to Daiso the other day. You might be asking yourself,  'What is Daiso?' Well, it's essentially a Japanese store that sells everything for $2.80! The reason for my over excitement in relation to this store is because I went to one in Canada back in 2012 and instantly fell in love (Mainly because it sells cute asian things for really cheap prices, and the quality is pretty good). So when I was told that a Daiso now existed in my CBD I knew I had to go there ASAP (and by asap I means 2 weeks, since I was really really busy with uni things).

So here is my mini haul of things I bought (I didn't buy much because I  can see myself making many trips back there in the coming weeks).


So this is Daiso- It's bright lights and big '$2.80' signs entice you in!
*note you can't actually see the $2.80 signs in this photo, but I assure you they are there. 





 We recently bought a new dinning table and chair's set. As much as I like the look of the chairs, you spend half the time at the dinner table sliding off the chair :(. So I decided to buy these 2 floral printed chair cushions. They're quite thin, but for $2.80 (Obviously) you don't expect them to be uber thick. 



A girl can never have enough containers :). It's microwaveable safe, which means I can bring left overs to uni without worrying that my containers is going to melt apart (I might take the lid off for good measures though). Also, it has a pink lid *cough cough*


I was in desperate need of a folder of some kind, so I picked up this cute polka dot one. No joke, my desk is just filled with lecture notes, random journal articles and assessment details (also food scraps). So this should be helpful with sorting out everything. 


And that is about it for now! :)

HAUL!

So as I said on my first blog post, I wanted to blog about things i'm interested in.
And one of those things is FASHION. Actually I would probably just say clothes, since I don't think i'm that 'fashionable.'

Anyway here is a collection of things I have bought over the past few weeks

'Lol i'm just kitten' t-shirt 
Supre: $15.00

Now I don't normally shop at supre, but I noticed this hanging on the racks at the front of the shop and I thought to myself "I must have you." It's nice and casual and looks really cute with a high waisted skirt and some flats. 


Mint green dress 
 Blink fashion boutique: $60.00 (Buy one get one free, so technically $30.00) 

I just realised I don't have a picture of my face up on this blog yet... Well here you go!
This dress  was from  'Blink fashion boutique' (they have a stall in the 'my cube shop' that is near where I live). It was buy one get one free, and since the dresses were around $60.00 I got one for myself, and one for my sister (which hopefully will appear in future posts). Since the weather is cooling down, the arm length of dress gives me some extra warmth, and I absolutely love the collar (and the colour). It's a tad bit short for me, so I would wear it with some tights. 

Beanie
Cross Top
Dotti: $15 (sale item)

Since I'm a uni student I get discounts at ASOS and a few other online stores (sign up for unidays if you haven't already!). Also since the weather is cooling down and asos shipping is free, I decided to get myself a new beanie! The grey colour makes it really easy to match with anything, plus it isn't insanely thick which means I can wear it even though it isn't that cold at the moment. 
The cross top was from one of my favourite stores, Dotti. There is one near where I live that always has some amazing finds in the sale section. I wouldn't normally buy this, but my closet was lacking in long sleeved tops and it actually suited me. 

Adventure time and bad wolf t-shirt
Popcultcha: 2 for $50.00 (or one for $30.00). 

If you decide you want to follow me on this blog, you will soon realise I'm a bit of a nerd or geek (or dork, whatever floats your boat). I recently attended Supernova, which is a pop culture convention (I would say it's Australia's version of comic con, but on a much smaller scale) and I had my heart set on buying a doctor who related t-shirt. Therefore I purchased the 'bad wolf' one and then thought I would spend an extra $20 and get an adventure time t-shirt, since I do enjoy that show muchly. Also with my purchase, I got a free popcultcha mug which i'm happily using on a daily basis. 


And that's about it :) 
Sorry for the long blurbs, but I get really excited when I buy an item of clothing that I really like!

Hi there!

Oh hi :)


At this very point in time, i'm procrastinating from assignments and exam prep, and I thought "hey i'm going to start a proper blog." And I say this because my tumblr isn't exactly a blog...

As seen by the title of my blog 'tidbits of life' I'll be posting about things that happen in my life (as well as dabbling into a few of my hobbies).

So sit back and stay tuned for  future (fun filled!) posts.
