The Bargain Darling Proof that true style need not cost the Earth. Because it's all about the bargain, darling.
19th May Winter Boots, Bargain Style
The time is NOW to get ready for winter and stock up on boots, booties and enclosed shoes. Target have 30% off boots for a limited time, and whilst you may look down upon Target boots, if you have a good look and stray away from the plastic-looking knee highs there are actually some good quality [...]
16th May Bargain Bed Time
I’m back! After a 6 week period of life that I can only describe as nuts, I have returned. Now, bedding. Something we’ve never talked about before. But it’s so easy to get ripped off when buying a new bedspread, so I did a bit of research and lookie here what I found! Morgan & [...]
Sun 25th March The Little Things
So who would have thought that you could buy 15 pairs of earrings for $14 from a shoe shop? Well not me, until I did just that: $6.95 each from Rubi shoes – I stocked up and bought a tonne, they are great as little just-because gifts for your girlfriends. Aren’t they adorable? Virtually a colour to [...]
24th March Sunny Saturdays
Earlier this week it was truly gorgeous in Adelaide, so it’s not such a sunny Saturday but more like a reminiscent Saturday. And once again, the sunshine did it’s magic and inspired me to snap a few shots of my outfit for the day. My mission here was to colour-block to suit more of an [...]
22nd March $30 Bridesmaid Shoes
Being a ladies shoe size 11 (European 42), having to buy uniform shoes has always instilled a giant bolt of fear into my spine. When faced with a search for shoes to wear for a wedding I’m thrilled to be in next month, that same fear went quivering through me….until Target saved my life. Yet [...]
21st March Summertime Sadness
Well as we near the end of March, it’s officially Autumn, and the beautiful Australian sunshine will soon be drawing to a close. I say – screw that! Summer is the best styling season, as anything goes. Patterns, colours, textures, clashes galore – it’s all allowed. Autumn on the other hand is typically a season [...]
Mon 10th A Very Bargain Wedding
As you may know by now as I have mentioned it before on the blog but not yet written about it: after a New Years Day proposal, The Bargain Darling is getting married: Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she wonderful? Isn’t she precious? Aren’t these Stevie Wonder lyrics? I know it’s uncouth to speak of money [...]
Sun 10th March A Bargain Darling Disaster
Well I went to pull my treasured sunnies out of my Michael Kors this afternoon and this happened: Lesson learnt: Protect thy eyewear. So now, whilst wearing my wobbly Ray Bans in the meantime, the search is on. Sunglasses are a pretty important accessory for a lady.The shape, colour, width, lens colour and fit can all compliment or cramp [...]
7th March A Day In The Life…
So this week I’ve been snapping away at the random idle objects and tasks that come my way when researching for the blog, or simply living. So I thought that I would present to you… (drum roll) a week in the life of The Bargain Darling: Coming home from work to find fresh cut flowers [...]
25th Feb The Luxurious Upkeep Of A Lady
Months ago in the summer heat, I picked up a little book for the bargain price of $5 at a warehouse sale in Adelaide’s Royal Showgrounds in Wayville. ‘L is for LADY’ by Sarah Tomczak features lessons in life, manners and style and has so far found to be a tremendous read. With notes and [...]
