Today I will show you the accessories and after I have ironed the clothes I will show you them too.
The most important accessories of all are the shoes. I purchased four pairs, two pairs of heals and two flats.
These are my Calvin Klein wedges; they were my first purchase on the trip. They are from Macy's and were a bargain at under $40USD.
For work I purchased these Nine West patent leather wedges for $79USD + tax. I love wedges as they are comfortable and easy to walk in.
Both of the flats are from Banana Republic. The grey suede brogues from the retails store and the zebra print pony skin from the outlet. Banana Republic has recently improved the inners of their shoes making them more cushioned and they are great to wear.
Macy's and Banana republic both ship to Australia (and New Zealand) but beware the shipping can be very expensive. The most economical way to do this is get a group of you together and combine your order.
On this trip I was very light on the accessory buying, in fact I did not purchase belts, scarves and only one piece of jewellery. This necklace was bought with the money my lovely friends gave me for my birthday.
One of my favourite accessories shop is Coach, their outlets have great deals and they have well-made handbags. On my trips to the USA I usually pick up a Coach handbag and this time was no different. I was with my daughter at the Waikele Coach outlet and was walking to purchase a wallet, and noticed this gorgeous cobalt blue handbag with cobalt snake skin trim which is now mine. My daughter also convinced me not to buy the black wallet but the green wallet, in her 10 year old wisdom it was better to have one in my favourite colour than boring black.
And last but not least this purchase was technically not by me but by my darling husband. This is my birthday present from him.
A bit of background here, it has my initials all over it and it is french (I was born on bastille day)
Off to do some ironing and photography for the clothing part of my purchases.
