My poor broken purse... too much use!
I'm one week in to my spending embargo.
It's actually not been as hard as I thought it was going to be. You see, over the past few months I've developed a serious online shopping habit. Online shopping somehow feels less real than actually going into a shop and handing over cash or card. You can almost convince yourself that the packages that arrive are presents. Alas, they're not.

Alice leggings, $60 AUS; Cape, $70 AUS; Leg Bones leggings, $60 AUS
I am seriously in love with the Black Milk cape. In fact, I wouldn't exactly say no to any of the gorgeous things in James' shop. His blog is also one of my favourites so if you're a fan of unusual leggings, etc, be sure to check it out... http://www.toomanytights.typepad.com
