summer 11/12 launch Perth

Hello Hello, yes it has been a little minuscule while since I last put up a post, it feels like ages (in blogger time that is), but i have been busy with work and late nights due to our summer 11/12 launch at Sportsgirl, although i can't fully blame work as it was only the one late night, the others were simply my own fault (why is it you get most crafty and inspired late in the evening?). So i have to sometimes put my own personal health first, no Latte or Mother drink could ever be enough to catch me up fully on my sleep deprivation.......maybe i should try them together?

Back to the important stuff, as you will now know my place of work is the lovely Sportsgirl, my most loved chainstore since i was 12 (my first purchase was a blue and cream bucket hat), and lastnight i attended the roadshow with my fellow WA girls, sipping champagne and hunting down canape's, they never seem to dissappoint! (the show that is, not the food...but it was good also).
I stood there clicking away with the camera, boppin the shoulders to the *unse unse* of the music, i was too excited to sit down even thought i had been on my feet working all day already, i was grabbing my girls' arms and saying "oh my god i want those shoes" "oh my god i want that dress" " oh my god sequins!!!" it was certainly quite thrilling.
Now, i went a bit crazy with the amount of snapshots, and the damn models were doing their jobs too well and not staying still so i discovered a large amount of blurred pics afterward, so i have compiled a few that reflect the night and the key pieces i'm hangin for:

absolutely loving the full out fit colours

gorgeous hats, dibs on the orange one - very Prada...

like the bright socks with the nudish wedge
and again with the shoes and socks
the pastels look cool together, i like the blue blazer and the suede shorts, the pink hair, also growing on me...
underneath is actually a very cute structured dress, i'm not big on florals but this one won me over
my favourite look of the night, the white mesh bag, structured white jacket, the all-white style is gonna be my next look to try!
hot sequin mini dress, the orange shoes pick up the orange in the dress well, and the turban makes it more modern.
everyone went nuts when we were told this dress goes to every store - i see my next birthday dress
the last look, obviously party due to the excessive amounts of sequins... now that was just a snap shot of each 'trend' they're going for, i just had selected pics, now onto the really  important part, the things want...
these are my beloved shoes, i have seen so many designers do a nude/cream shoe with a flash of colour so i saw these and stopped breathing, although they will make me look humungo giant, they are 'totes' worth it.

quite blurry, but best one i had, i spose if you squint u get the jist, but i am normally a one bag only kinda gal, but this is really well-made looking baggage for approx $50
now this bag just wouldn't keep still, the one on the left, this is the best shot i have, on the other side it's woven, but still white, and i'm not really living up to my 'one bag only gal' standard am i?
my row was the 'picture taking' row as you can see with the mobiles out...
a quick snapshot of the new shoe styles to expect,alot of the heels were at the back, yes the fruit at the bottom are coin purses not shoes...
and lastly a snapshot of some of the lovely accessories coming in to finish the launch off, and i cannot wait until i can pur-chase some of the awesome stuff i've seen this week. The collection is spread over 6 months, so if you saw something you like, just look on the website sportsgirl.com.au and if it's in the new arrivals section, we should be getting it soon!
