I LOVE DUNEDIN FASHION WEEK!!!

HAHA! i came home tonight and nana and i settled into our normal routine every night. having dinner in front of the tv, watching friends, neighbours (an Australian show), then friends again in that order. we actually don't really watch neighbours but it's between 2 friends episodes, so what the heck. the storyline is super complicated bcos basically everyone is sleeping with everyone and it's just so screwed up.

anyway, we were watching friends halfway when nana said that it was dunedin fashion week this week! and she said for today only, there will be some participating stores open till 9pm, so would i want to go shopping? so i said yes and we went after the 2nd friends episode, that finished at 7pm, which was perfect cos it's free parking after 6pm. the carpark attendants don't work late see. :D in fact, no one in NZ does except for SOME restaurants.

so off we went! nana actually DRESSED UP for the occasion, tying her hair and applying makeup complete with a dress and high heels. i just threw on a coat and my pair of cute slippers. everyone who sees my slippers comments on how cute they are. the people who greeted us at the door and offered us free champagne were so fascinated by them. i felt so special. haha!! our first stop was a shoe store that i really liked. they were having a sale. 1 pair for $130, and 2 pairs for $230. i want a pair of cowboy boots so badly so i tried on a brown one which was probably the closest thing they had to it, but it pinched my feet really painfully in front. sure, it looked good on me, but i didn't want to spend money on something that's uncomfortable. i comfort myself by saying i'll find my perfect pair in time. :D so i bought a pair of black boots, and another pair of greyish-blue boots. NZ HAS GOT AWESOME BOOTS!! WHOOOOOT!! and the best thing is they have my size. :D

then we went to another store where nana bought 2 pairs of sunglasses cos she loves them, and they had a lucky draw! so we waited behind for the results and the prize was fantastic. u get VIP tickets to the fashion show on saturday, get like $600 worth of free makeup, and basically you're treated like a hollywood star for a day. omg nana and i were praying for it so bad. but of cos, as usual we didn't get it. the person called out 3 people's names and they apparently weren't in the store anymore, so she called out the 4th one and the person responded like, "oh. that's me." like, as nonchalantly as responding to a teacher taking attendance or something. nana and i were like, what?! at least sound more enthusiastic. u just won't a fantabulous prize!!! -_-'''

so we wanted to walk round more but shops were starting to close and it started drizzling. so we left and now i'm home admiring my new boots. :D yay i'm happy! shopping = liberation.

omg i SOOO need to do laundry, ironing and vacuuming tomorrow. :(
