I Did a Bad Thing.... And I Blame Anthropologie!

It all started with an innocent conversation with a couple of girlfriends about buying online...  Those who know me know I'm not a shopper but this snippet of a conversation started my creative juices flowing.  

First and last stop, the Anthropologie website where I kind of ordered up big.  This didn't seem too extravagant, I think the order came to just over USD300.00.  I couldn't understand why they weren't going to ship all these things straight to my door in Australia but I wasn't too worried about that, I was kind of obsessed at this point and just needed to have them no matter what.   A great girlfriend of mine, Jacqi lives in Venice so I just had it all shipped to her place.  The trouble started around here... I called UPS to have it shipped from her in LA to me in Sydney, easy peasy.  My face turned white when I was quoted USD1,688.00.  Let's just say I completely freaked out and went straight to Facebook (hoping for similar stories and to try and make myself feel less guilty I guess).

Luckily my greatest girlfriend has handled it for me.  Here are four of the boxes so far.  I don't think there's too much more to come?!!  Nothing has arrived broken and I'm at USD245.25 postage (so far).  I've had fun this morning unpacking it all (Tim is in NZ for work so I'm safe).

Worth it????  Totally.  Take a look.  Would I do it again???  Probably (Jacqi I hope you don't read this post).  Pxxx
