POTW: Hard mesh phone case + Rimmel lip gloss + Floor length dress



A few weeks ago I decided to get a new case for my phone, I had a soft plastic one originally but the dodgy design got me really frustrated. The case did not have the right alignment of grooves for the external buttons which made it really hard to press them. And the colour and design was pretty boring. So for $1.32 with free shipping why not get a new one.





Had to choose purple. I might get a few more when I go to HK at the end of the year if I see any colours that I like for cheaper than $1.32 (unlikely).

Only has one problem, the little holes in the case are a dust and fluff trapper. But one wipe and they're all gone so nothing incredibly problematic. The case also provides no assistance to drops unlike my previous one which was a little squishy/cushiony.
No picture of the lip gloss as it's just a standard bright pink lip gloss but what is surprising is the list of ingredients. It is really really really ridiculous the amount of chemicals they put in considering its a lip product so you actually end up eating it. I hope my body is capable of excreting all those nasty chemicals, I don't want aluminium building up in my cells.

I realised I actually didn't take a picture with a full length of my dress during my ball since I didn't bring a memory card for my camera (genius!). Only have a really crappy one from my phone. Absolutely love this dress, it's so comfy. Only problem is its really body hugging so I look pregnant. Dress itself cost me $16 (that is correct, but no one needs to know the price when I wear it). I needed express shipping and  the shipping turned out to be more expensive than the dress ($21), that part burnt the most.

POTW: Adidas Trackies + New Jewellery Stand/Board

Do you have the same problem when looking for trackies? That they're soo long you're essentially just sweeping the floor with them? I've been in need for a new pair of trackies as one of my old pairs have holes in both knees and a hole in the butt (I have no idea how that happened). So when I heard of the 40% Adidas sale I wanted to see if I could find some. It was 40% off at the outlet stores only (even better =] ).

So the boy and I were browsing around looking through the racks and racks of trackies that were way too long for either of us. Until I decided to check out the kids section and what do you know, trackies that FIT!! And the design was way better than the womens ones of the same price.

Perfect length =]
I love that they have cuffed bottoms so they don't drag as much especially when I'm playing Ultimate Frisbee. I always end up with soaked bottoms after frisbee cos my trackies are too long. However I'm not a fan of the back pocket, I much prefer side pockets. For $21 I can't complain. Length is more important than pockets.

My cleats I got for frisbee are also kids shoes. I love how I'm at pretty much the largest kids size, it saves me a lot of money =] 

I cleaned out my wardrobe+ room earlier this week as it got incredibly messy during the semester. I had a cork board sitting next to my desk that had no purpose other than being a nuisance and also necklaces that I'd been chucking wherever convenient, put the two together and I get a tidy useful non nuisance cork board. I need some more pins though and definitely more necklaces =] 

How do you organise you're jewellery?
