Dispatched.

Heh. One of my favourite words of the English language.

Since today, when I received an email from ASOS about the dispatching of my leather biker boots.
Yes, I know I said I was on a shoe ban.....but I really wanted a pair of leather biker boots.
(And these are perfect, and only 25 pounds too. Even with the weak Aussie dollar and exorbitant shipping costs, the boots cost me less than half of the ones at Sportsgirl.)

Score!


A little while ago, a few friends of ours called Stuart and me up and asked if we wanted to go to a new-ish theme bar for a few drinks. The bar is one of those hole-in-the-wall type venues, has a kitsch "hell" theme running rampant throughout and is something else. By the time we found it (after driving around for about half an hour!), I was ready to just screw the whole plan and go home. And then we parked in the street and realised we were a few steps away from it.

Kitsch is probably an understatement. There was a lava mountain in the middle of the dance floor, volumptuous red devils all over the place, stalactites and stalagmites throughout and even a real kitsch tv screen with lewd/devilish stuff. Lol. I swear you'd have to be pretty pissed to actually have a great time.

It was alright, but whoa the kitsch factor was overkill! Haha....we took some pictures just because and then left (we were there for a total of 30 mins, it was too much for us lol).

Yeah, so those boots are pretty fabulous!! I've been looking for a good deal on under the knee biker boots with multiple straps... I might just have to get me a pair, too! And for $30something!!! Good deal!

that is one rockin' bar! ironic how its themed "hell" though-- bars are already kind of leaders in that way, but we still love them. sounds like a good place to party!

That place looks so cool, haha! And score on the boots! I'm glad you decided to buy the sequin jacket too. :)

Anika said...

Thanks Sharon Rose. Only problem with a full length zip is how wierdly it sits. Forgot about that when I bought this dress!

Haha, Delmy, amen to the evil urger-on ;)

Kay, can you believe this is the first thing I've ordered from ASOS (strong English pound and weak Australian doller)!

Yuka, nope, I completely forgot. When I checked the next day, they had sold for wayyyy too much. So glad I didn't wake up. Lol.

Katlin, do it. How good are the boots!!

Syd Vicious, decided to buy them. Now hopefully they'll still have ny size on Monday :)
