My Epson S7 and Newport News goodies arrived today back in Homeland. As per usual, my sister is modeling the items for my viewing pleasure. Though, since both of 'em got so excited looking at the Newport News catalogue that came with my stuff, they forgot to take pics of my brand new, totally spiffy projector. So, I only have some very mediocre images of the Newport News kimono sweater and clogs, taken using my sis's Blackberry.
My Lush goodies arrived as well but minus one New bar solid shampoo and one shampoo tin. I am quite disappointed and have emailed the orders centre for an explanation. I included a pic of my package but considering I have a file attached, perhaps their mail server will reject my email. I figure this might be the case since I have had no response whatsoever from them since emailing a number of hours ago.
Anywho, this did not deter me from enhancing my shopping mojo. I had no intentions of buying anything but since I was helping my sis get some stuff from Newport News, I decided to get another sheer tunic blouse but this time in black. I think this tunic is one of the most flattering piece of clothing I own and I would have wanted to go crazy and get 'em in all colours but some common sense did prevail. It's now just 15 bucks but I had a 15% off coupon code, free shipping code as well as the deferred billing code (which I think is working since I do not see the clogs/kimono charge on my card thus far).
Besides this, I also decided to take a look around Rue La La and ended up with these Vince Camuto "Edon" wedges in black that retail for $98 but were on sale for the nice figure of $39 bucks. I had seen these shoes on Rue La La during the Vince Camuto boutique sale and did click 'em into my basket but I think at that time they were selling for $79. Since this was a clearance sale and sizes were limited, the price went down a further 40 bucks and as luck would have it, there was an 8.5 pair left so I clicked and paid :)
I loved the look of this shoe ever since seeing Reese Witherspoon rocking her Christian Louboutin "Almeria" wedges in tan as seen in the pic below. She looks so good in 'em but at the retail price of $495, I wasn't about to follow in her footsteps exactly.
All in all, I spent $48.95 on the shoes (inclusive shipping) and $12.75 for the tunic which brings the shopping total to a grand amount of $61.70. That's a good days' worth of shopping right there. Am pleased. Now, if only Lush will sort out the merchandise snafu then I will be completely hunky dory.

UPDATE (24/07/2010):
Ooh, Lush has responded with this:
Hopefully the stuff will arrive when I'm back in Homeland :) I love when Customer Service reps are so accommodating.
I'm running on four hours sleep right now. For some reason I couldn't get to bed till 2:30 am and then had to wake up at 6:30 am for some work-related thing (yes, on a non-working Saturday morning). And since I downed a cup of joe to keep me awake, I'm now unable to go back to bed. But it's been a pretty ok start to the day so far. Completed all the work stuff by 8 am then I decided to finally make the Betty Crocker Apple Streusel muffin mic I had bought eons ago. As per usual, taste came out great, presentation is just plain fugly :D. Also had two potato pastry puffs for brekkie and now am just surfing my online haunts and trying to convince myself that I do not want to check out my Target.com basket. Also, for some unusual reason, I am feeling super-excited for my Rue La La purchase, the Vince Camuto Edon wedge. Ok, to take my mind (and credit card) off of shopping, am going to finish watching the latest epi of Rookie Blue.
