B.W.S - Roma 6 - chunky tan boots:  $10 @ Liquidation World

These were a pretty unexpected find.  I went for their fashion blowout (which ended up being a huge bust) and ended up with these instead-they weren't even part of the sale!

I love the chunky heels, and the fact that they're ridiculously comfortable-they feel just like runners!

I suspect that these will get a lot of use.  They only had one pair, that just happened to be in my size!

I am marvelously happy with these boots.  I'll probably venture out to the other ones just in case there are more of these gems...I would love to have these in black!

Snakeskin purse w/hot pink trim:  $5 @ Icing by Claire's (RSP:  $27.50)

They have Claire's everywhere, but surprisingly, only a handful of Icing stores around here.   None in my city, so it's not surprising that I've never purchased anything from there until now.

That store caters to an older audience, so not surprisingly, I prefer it to their trademark store.

Instead of 10 for $10 sales, they have 5 for $10 sales...but those items retail up to $17, whereas the former only includes items up to $10.  I'm planning on going to the only other one within a reasonable distance this weekend.

It's that time again!  Claire's is having their 10 for $10 sale.  Most of the time I find their accessories too juvenile, but they actually had a lot of things I liked this time around.

White studded heart belt (RSP:  $11.50)
Zippered heart choker (RSP:  $8.50)
Pink graffiti bird wallet -  it goes great with this purse!  (RSP:  $11.50)
Zebra print tights (RSP:  $9.75)
Metal rhinestone winged heart cuff (RSP:  $10.25)
Hinged metal leaf cuff (RSP:  $9.75)
Hinged metal studded cuff (RSP:  $9.75)
Winged heart earrings (RSP:  $8)
Pink checkered studded belt (RSP:  $11.50)

I bought two pairs of those earrings since I loved the charms.  I also bought the following since they were half off the lowest price:


















Pink polka dot clutch wallet:  $4.49 (RSP:  $18.25)
Silver ruffled zipper wallet:  $3.99 (RSP:  $16)
Gold flower/pearl necklace:  $3.49 (RSP:  $14.25)

They're not that great when compared to the above, but still decent prices for a wallet.

I wouldn't normally spend that much on fake jewelry, but I found it so beautiful I just couldn't resist :3.  I'm such a sucker for flowers with pearl centers.

Joy & Peace - grey knee high boots:  $15 @ Shoe Warehouse (RSP:  $119.99)

I've found amazing deals at the Shoe Warehouses closest to me, so I started to think that the rest were hidden treasure troves-not so!  7 Shoe Warehouses later, no new shoes.  

Most had disappointingly small selections, plus disproportionately high prices to boot.  One of them actually would have been a goldmine if the sizes weren't too small, but I digress.

At this point, I didn't really think it was worth it to make the trek-since I was in the area, I gave way to convenience.  

I'm glad I did!  I like the style, but I mainly took them home because of the color (aptly named 'concrete').  

I was a bit iffy on the price since I've seen boots from that brand for $10 at another Shoe Warehouse (oh how I lamented not being one size smaller).  The last pair I bought at this price were leather, and these were anything but.

I finally relented because I wasn't coming back there anytime soon, and I was going through boot withdrawal :x.   

Nevada - Kassie - brown satin sandal wedges:  $2 @ Sears (RSP:  $39.99)

The lowest I've ever seen a new pair of shoes.  They only had one, and it just happened to be in my size!

They're similar to the red ones I bought a while back, so I don't think I would have bought them otherwise.

I got them at a Sears outlet-that place was such a mess!  They had a mind boggling amount of clothes there, most at 50% off the lowest price.

The sizes weren't really sorted, and I really couldn't stand the headache of looking through allll of those racks.  Maybe some other time.

CBI Distributing Corp purses - $2 each @ Claire's (RSP:  $20.50-$22.75)

The black/pink one is actually a double again, but I thought I could make something out of it.  I guess I just can't say no to a basic $2 purse. 

The black one is a cute ring clutch with a magnetic closure.  I don't have any other bags in that style, so I was pretty overjoyed when I found it.  I love that black patent look. 

The blue one is made out of quilted, white washed denim.  I like the frayed edge detailing and the pink skull lining..that was pretty random. 


As for turnlock closures...I always have a thing for those.  That and chain straps, so I obviously love this bag.

I kind of want to trek out to the other Claire's around here, but they're a bit out of the way.  Still, I might try two more on the weekend.

Bijoux Terner purses:  $2.50 each @ Liquidation World

Yep, two of those are the same purses I bought for $5 a pop back in January.  I have a few ideas I want to try out, so I went back for more.  

The blue purse is a little too floppy for my tastes, but I plan on making it sturdier, somehow.  All of them were for pet projects-why not for that price?

I just wish I waited until they were on sale, since it happened literally only a week after I bought them :x.
