Melbourne HAUL-iday
Thursday, January 5, 2012
Haha, I am so clever.
Anyway, here is my Melbourne vacation haul. I went shopping a lot - including Cotton On, Factorie, TopShop, Vic Market, as well as a few vintage shops. Sure a lot of things were more expensive in Australia, but a lot of things were a lot cheaper. Boxing Day didn't hurt, either.
Vintage Compacts

This first one I found at an antique mall on Chapel Street, while scouring the huge place with my mom. I saw so many things that I wanted to take home with me - including some amazing vintage cameras, but they were all over $100, and I wasn't about to spend that much on an old camera that probably doesn't work. But when I saw this compact nestled away in a case, I had to take a look at it and lo and behold - it's a Girl Guide compact!
I have been a lifelong Girl Scout, and my mom actually found me an old Girl Scout handbook, and I love collecting things that are connected somehow.
This one I found at this vintage store in Prahran called Fat Helen's. This place had so many cute things, and the owner was just a doll. She loved us. And even better, a lot of the items in the store was consignment, including this compact. I didn't even realize that the Revlon powder was still in it, but when I opened to find this powdery explosion, I couldn't help but chuckle. I wonder how old this powder is?
Don't worry, it's not like I am going to use it. Ew.
