I’ve been sharing our couple of days in Melbourne with you and if you know me then you know it would be nearly impossible for me to go to Melbourne without doing a little post-Christmas shopping!
After our lunch at Parliament House but before we stopped at this cute place called Madame Brussels for drinks, I had a stroll up Collins Street. Mostly because I wanted to stop at Chanel for some new perfume but also because I just love to wander by all the designer shops.
Post Christmas Shopping
Seems I couldn’t resist Ralph Lauren either!
Chanel Perfume
Signature Perfume: I have been wearing 31 Rue Cambon by Chanel for a while now. It’s definitely one of my favourites and I would consider it my signature scent. However, I like to have a lighter fragrance for really hot weather or for those days when my mood dictates a change. For a few years that has been No. 22 by Chanel but it was time for a change so while purchasing another bottle of 31 Rue Cambon I also bought a bottle of Jersey.
Robins Egg blue Ralph Lauren Silk Pants
My Obsession: You may remember me obsessing over these pants by Ralph Lauren. I loved the robin’s egg blue colour, the fact that they were beautifully tailored, and 100% silk. The only problem was that I looked everywhere for them and they were sold out or not available, which was heart-breaking.
Mint Green Ralph Lauren pants
The Next Best Thing: So when I saw this mint green pair AND they were 30%, I did what I had to. And bought them! They are the usual Ralph Lauren beautiful fit and as a tallish person they are long enough to wear with a great pair of heels. I’m really looking forward to styling these and sharing some photos with you all.
I’m going to have to review a board I did on Pinterest about mint so I can get some fabulous inspiration!
Did you do any post-Christmas shopping? Or are you waiting for something special?

Thanks Paula,
The pants really are divine.
I’m thinking they will definitely make the cut for L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival in March….if only I can figure out what to wear them with!

Karlie Kloss really sells that outfit. Her face/body/her in general is just incredible
January 9th, 2013 at 07:06
Totally agree! If only I could look so fabulous in them.
Then they would definitely be worth every cent!

My guess is that the mint pants will look WAY BETTER than the robin’s egg blue on you!
Looks like Melbourne treated you nicely!

Aww, thanks!
Melbourne is usually pretty good to me but this Christmas REALLY good!
I’m working on some options on how to wear the pants.
I don’t have much mint in my wardrobe…well, I have none actually!

Those are lovely pants, nicely done! Can’t wait to see how you wear them!
January 10th, 2013 at 07:00
Thank you!
I can’t wait to see how I wear them too!
Not a lot of mint in my wardrobe so it should be interesting.
It was just impossible to pass up an amazingly nice tailored pair of pants.

I got a few things, I wrote about them in my latest post http://spashionistareport.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/2013-shop-smart-stay-fit-get-noticed-be-fabulous/ . You fared better than me, I think! I love the pants. I can’t wait to see how you style them. I used to make my own perfume. I’m considering doing it again sometime.

You ended up with more things than I did.
And I honestly didn’t need any of it, it was all that I wanted it!
The pants are so lovely on I can’t wait to wear them.

I don’t think we have 31 rue cambon in the us. Lucky! I LOVE CHANEL!
January 12th, 2013 at 12:08
You can only get it at the Chanel boutiques here. I found some at the Chanel boutique in Vegas a couple of years ago too. It’s one of Chanel’s original fragrances and I love it.
