Illustrated girl denim wallet:  $5.99 @ Vima

Just something about it.  I am trying to have more 'grown up' tastes, but there was just something I loved about this wallet. 

Her mouth was a bit odd, so I ended up repanting it.  I also put a bunch of glow in the dark accents on it, since it's just as campy without it!

Pink polka dot case:  $10 @ Claire's (RSP:  $40)

It would have been a fabulous price for the case alone (which is the reason I bought it), but this actually comes with makeup and brushes too. 

The bow is kind of dinky, so I'm going to be replacing it with a nicer one soon.  The case is decently sized at a little over a foot high and across. 


Pink is my favourite colour, and I'm quite fond of polka dots.  Claire's has a bunch of items in this collections, so I'll probably pick up more in the future once they go on sale.

Tan purse:  $4.99 @ Bentleys (RSP:  $19.99)

Just a nice, simple, classic bag.  The buckle accents sold me on it.    It came with two separate detachable straps of different lengths.

CBI Distributing Corp - round quilted red purse with heart studs:  $3.37 @ Claire's (RSP:  $13.75)

I thought this purse was just the cutest little thing!  I love the heart accents, and I always prefer chain straps.  It's only big enough to hold my tiny wallet, but sometimes that's all you need. 

CBI Distributing Corp - quilted purses with turn closures:  $3.37 each @ Claire's (RSP:  $22.75)

Purchased during one of their 75% off sales.  Love the long chain straps.

The Stone - black pleather bag:  $5 @ Bentley (RSP:  $29.99)

Purchased during that same sidewalk sale.  I'm not really into bigger bags, but I thought I could use one.  This one has a ton of compartments and a whole lot of studs to boot, so I thought, why not.

Tracker - Glowing digital pig clock:  $1.99 @ Bentleys (RSP:  $19.99)

I have a penchant for things that light up or glow in the dark.  This one's actually functional as well, so I just had to have it! 

The alarm plays a whopping 8 electronic interludes for you to choose from, and it functions as a night light too!  The inner geek in me couldn't resist. 

Also picked up this little gem for the same price.

Urban Behavior - Chiffon Plaid Ruffle Top:  $6 @ Urban Behavior (RSP:  $22.80)

Picked up during a sidewalk sale.  Love the ruffles on this one.

Black plaid tights (RSP:  $9.75)
Black/white stripe tights (RSP:  $9.75)
Sparkly black tights (RSP:  $9.75)
Black polka dot pleather mirror (RSP:  $4)
Pink polka dot pleather mirror (RSP:  $4)
Zebra print ID case (RSP:  $6.25)
Skull earrings (RSP:  $10)
Star earrings (RSP:  $4)
Studded checkered belt (RSP:  $11.50)
Leather checkered belt (RSP:  $10)

Everything for $10 @ Claire's

I just love it when they have their ten for ten sales.  I even partook of them when I was a child, though I bought much tackier things back then :P.

I don't actually wear earrings, but sometimes I buy them for the charms.

Panto Folie - pink plaid boots:  $5 @ Bentleys (RSP:  $39.99)
Bluenotes - various socks:  $1 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $4.50)

Finally, sensible footwear!  Just something slightly more fashionable than runners, yet still comfortable, while I transition to heels. 

They're proably meant to be indoor slippers, but they're built like canvas sneakers...so durable enough for outdoor use.  They only had a tie closure, but I installed zippers and they're much better now.

As for the socks...well, I always need cute socks. 
Bluenotes - cream and brown hooded sweater:  $5 @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $25+)

Again, purchased on the first day of a sidewalk sale.  Warm, comfortable, cute.

Streetwear society - knit dress with belt:  $3.50 @ Stitches (RSP:  $29.50)

Bought this during the first day of a sidewalk sale.  There were some insane prices the first day, but only on that day.  It was $5 when I went back in the middle of the week.

Delicious - black patent clear wedges:  $10 @ Liquidation World

I'm pretty new to this kind of footwear, so I'll stick with wedges for a while.  

Just love the idea of clear heels, especially since I don't like the full Cinderella look.  I plan to buy more in other colours if they ever go on clearance!

Club couture - black peep toe heels:  $6 @ Sirens (RSP:  $39.50)

Love the open weave on this one, but these are even harder to walk in!  I suppose I'll have to wait until I 'graduate' to this level of heel.  I'm still getting the hang of thick two inchers at the moment. 

I love how these type of shoes look, but since they totally kill my feet, I don't know how practical it would be to keep buying more. 

I already passed up a few more pairs I like, but I don't know how much longer I can restrain myself.  The prices are amazing, and the quality is actually quite nice.  I wonder how long the sale will last. 

Club couture - white slouchy ankle boots:  $6 @ Sirens (RSP:  $36.50)

These are actually a size bigger than I take, but I don't mind for boots-it just means I can pad them out more.

These boots go with just about anything, and they're so easy to walk in..plus, they were a total steal!  I love Sirens!

Club couture - studded gladiator heels:  $6 @ Sirens (RSP:  $39.50)

These heels are gorgeous!  They're actually a size bigger than I take, but I just had to have them.  I was sure I could do something to make them wearable, and I just couldn't pass them up at that price. 

They're basically a piece of art, and pretty hard to walk in to boot.  I could just admire these shoes for hours...they're so devastatingly sexy :3.

Vianni Collection - red wedge sandals:  $5 @ Shoe Warehouse  (RSP:  $59.95)

Adorable, comfortable, and cheap!   The long laces are a wonderful touch.

Steve Madden - Nylon Cream Puff boots:  $10 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $100+)

Probably the best deal I've ever found!  I may have squealed when I saw them.  Great heels on what would otherwise be a boring boot.

Aisi - pink plaid purse:  $5 @ Bianca Amor

The only nice purse I've ever found there.  It's a Chinese company, but apparently, one that works with leather!  A total steal for five bucks.  The picture doesn't capture it, but the company's name is embossed in the front.

CBI Distributing Corp Wallet:  $5 @ Wal Mart
Miffy watch:  $2 @ Ebay

It's hard for me to find a wallet I like, but I was immediately drawn to the one above!  Hearts are my shape of preference, and I also prefer very compact wallets-hence the aquisition of this one.

The watch is a Miffy ripoff.  Sorry official Miffy.

Bijoux Terner bags:  $5 each @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $10)
Enakei schedule:  $2 @ Buck or Two

These bags are a steal even at their retail price!  They're basically sold in $10 shops at locations such as airports, casinos, etc.  Quality is decent, pretty nice designs for some (since they are designer rip offs :P).

Bewild - Brown sneakers with pink laces:  $10 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $50+)

Old habbits die hard.  I've been wearing sneakers all my life..instead of giving them up completely, I decided to at least have them in my favourite colour.  They do have some leather components, so I thought the price was quite the steal.
Rinaldi - white wedges with scalloped edging:  $10 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $44.99)

I find myself having buyer's remorse on this pair.  They were quite uncomfortable to wear after a while, and I find that I dislike the look of slingbacks. 

Chalk it up to overzealousness...I finally decided to start wearing heels this year and wanted to have a variety of types.

I'm not crazy about the cut outs on the front either, but I was sold on the scalloped edging.

















Rinaldi - Brown heels with lace trim:  $10 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $69.95)

These are quite difficult to walk in, but they were just too pretty to pass up :3.

These were such a steal!  That particular store was closing down, so everything was half off the lowest listed price.  They're currently the only pair of shoes I have not made in China :3
