Girly Thread v. Nail Porn, Makeup Lust and everything else girlie girl

So I've decided I need a leather jacket for this Sydney winter.

I want something slightly sophisticated so I can wear with my work clothes and also on the weekend with jeans, not a traditional biker type one.

These are the two I've got it down to - any thoughts, girlies? (boo can't get the pics the same size).

I have a Guess black leather jacket that I live in in the cooler months. My only concern with the one's you've chosen is I know I couldn't keep anything white or near-white clean!

They both look great, though.
 
I like the top one, but I'm with C0TB, white seems like it would require a lot of care. At least leather is easy to wipe off with just simple spills and things.
 
Got these pretties in the mail today. Used 500 of my Share the Love Points from each of my Zoya accounts for $15 off each order, so I paid $1 + $6.95 shipping per order.

8o I looooove maisie! I've never seen that one before! I'm going to have to add it to my next purchase from them.
 
Almost got my mom a birchbox subscription for mother's day but started reading bad reviews about how the quality has gone down (sometimes they put a piece of chocolate or something silly instead of a beauty product?) etc.

Then I found Beauty Army, which costs more (12USD vs 10/month) but you get to pick up to 6 samples from a list every month (Birchbox gives you 5 and you don't have a choice). My mom just messaged me to say that she picked out some moisturizers, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel and a refrigerate-able eye mask. I'm interested to see the quality of the samples and will probably try and steal some of the boxes they come in!

^Good choice not going with Birchbox. I subscribed for probably 6 months or so and used maybe a small handful of the products. I literally have a shoebox in my closet filled with samples that I never touch. I cancelled pretty quickly and haven't missed it at all. Same thing with Julep Maven.

I have so many good pictures to post here, I will update tonight when I'm not on my lunch break! I finally tried a gradient on my nails, and I have pictures of my stash!
 
^I finally became a Sally's member since reading about some of your experiences and am definitley wishing I would have done so sooner. Lots of good deals!! Thanks for mentioning it! :)

chrissie: def let us know how the samples from Beauty Armour are!
 
I did some shopping for TOIGHT clothing this afternoon. =D

I'm so very excited, it's a bit ridiculous!
 
^They did a release last week - everything sold out super quickly! I was thinking of getting the psychadellic chess legs but they sold out in three minutes! 8(

Pretty happy with my haul, though. ;)
