The Holiday Purchase.

I have recently returned to reality after a fantastic 10 days of tanning by the pool, sipping cocktails at breakfast, countless manicures, pedicures, facials and massages and of course lots and lots and lots of shopping. My holiday destination was obviously the beautiful Bali.

I really could open a shop with the amount of jewellery and shoes I purchased, however every shopping holiday also comes with a 'Holiday Purchase', the idea that 'these will be so cool when I get back and I will be way ahead of the fashion and everyone will be thinking 'who is that super fashion forward girl in the union jack leggings?''

Yes, there, I said it....the union jack leggings. I found them in a store called Religion which has a very rock and ripped t-shirt vibe for 300,000 rupiah. I was convinced (and still secretly have hope) that I will find the perfect way to wear them in my own style, however, i'm slowly starting to think that they may be on their way to join the royal blue ray bans, jelly thongs and giagantic plastic diamonte earrings (what was I thinking) and the other (now very cringe-worthy) holiday purchases at the bottom of my cupboard.

If the momentus occasion occurs that they are saved from their dim fate and I actually wear the leggings, I will upload some photos. Don't hold your breath!
