best buys 2010 I. jones

here are I. jones best buys from 2010. she had trouble choosing what her favourite thrifted buy was so she settled with the best value thrifted purchase this Lacoste sport retro small roll bag purchased in brand new condition from an op shop for only $5 that's a saving of $80 amazing! this little sport bag is perfect for overnight stays or the gym. her favourite accessory buy was equally as hard to decide on so she thought she'd share instead her favourite accessories from christmas this Thomas Sabo pearl charm bracelet and a new silver hummingbird charm from her bf and you might recognize the sportsgirl crystal ring in the photo from our wish list post it seems santa must also be reading :) and finally her number one buy of 2010 you might have guessed was also a gift from her bf her cute mini diana camera expect more photos on the blog soon.

T. jones' best buys post up next as well as our first prediction for trends in 2011.

best buys 2010 G. jones

G. jones' reindeer

her big sister at "the glamourai"

after a quick inventory of ALL the things G.Jones bought in 2010 she has narrowed it down to the best thrifted buy and her best accessory purchase( or in this case her BF bought her).

On a sydney visit to see I.jones she found this "gold" reindeer statue in a second hand home wares store for only $10! to her suprise only months later it's big sister was featured in the beautiful home of "the Glamourai"

The best accessory award goes to the tortoise shell Michael Kors watch that she received for xmas from her BF, this watch even surpassed the one she hinted for on the "Wish List" post before Christmas

stay tuned for I. jones and T. jones' best 2010 buys

merry christmas & a happy new year

merry christmas and a happy new year from all of us here at GI jones !!!

we have been having an eventful but relaxing summer holiday (though most of the time it has felt more like winter) all together and as a result unfortunately our blog and ebay store have been put way down on the priority list, but with the festivities dying down after numerous family feasts, bbqs, quality catch ups, an engagement (congrats Katie & Fraser) and a new baby (congrats Sherry on beautiful baby Bella <3) we are up and blogging again! in the next few posts we will recap our favourite memories of 2010 our best buys (new and thrifted), our favourite christmas presents, new year resolutions and GI jones plans for the new year so stay tuned.

for now we will show you a few of I. jones' latest mini diana snap shots

floral feet.

a while ago I. jones posted these Jeffrey Campbell floral meow shoes on her spring wish list well she never got them but she thinks shes found an awesome alternative! these brogues by Lipstick they're not leather but at just $70 and with a floral print thats just almost as cute as the JC meows she will be adding these ones to her christmas wish list.

and speaking of Jeffrey Campbell's we forget to tell you that T. jones got her very first pair the other day we are all in love with them!

Mariel Black Suede

super high wedge heel and super comfy the perfect versatile black shoe

mini diana.

we thought we'd share with you some of I. jones' first mini diana photo attempts. the lady who developed them at big w was quite confused about the diana's ability to do half frame photos so some of the photos were cut in very strange combinations. we were also getting a bit snap happy and kept forgetting to change the focus between different shots, we think thats why some of the photos came out a bit blurry... but we reckon they turned out pretty good for a first try. 

what do you guys think?

luxe for less.

   

we showed you the Billy Bride rings we have been lusting after in our wish list post, well looks like our wishes might be coming true this christmas at just a fraction of the price! sometimes its hard to justify paying $395+ for what could be considered an undoubtably beautiful but fad trend ring well sportsgirl to the rescue you can pick up these crystal rings from just $19.95 and we know what your thinking they are nowhere near the same quality but in all fairness for less than one tenth of the price you cant expect the same craftsmanship. at this price we suggest you buy a few and wear them all this summer for a hot look like this one we spotted on swagger 360.

what we're also loving from sportsgirl are their turquoise pieces like this ring and hand armour similar designer pieces we've spotted on two of our favourite blogs studded hearts and swagger 360
