Grey cup festival swag!

Pop, chips, gloves, bandannas, a lanyard, blow up balloon type things, pens, a pin, and a big decal.

The only things I kept were a pair of gloves, the pens, and the pin.

I also ended up buying this from EFADS for $1.25...I just couldn't help it!  


Their spindly arms are so cute.  Also snuck in the face paint I forgot to put in the first picture.

Pink leopard hair clips:  $1.75 @ Dollarama
Plaid top (RSP:  $29.99-$50)
White lace top (RSP:  $29.99-$39.99)
Black lace top (RSP:  $29.99-$39.99)

3 for $10 @ Labels just tax!

I don't normally wear hair clips, and when I do, I don't tend to want to wear pink..but these were just so pretty I had to get them!

They had leopard print colours that I would actually wear, but none of them had the same effect as this one.

This one was just transparent enough that the gold sheen underneath was really visible.

One of my credit cards gave me a $10 holiday bonus so I picked up the shirts above.   Makes me glad I didn't cancel it!

Blue trench coat:  $14.50
Black lace shorts:  $3.25
White rhinestone tank:  $1.52
Blue rosette tank:  $3.25

All off Ebay.

The coat's gorgeous, but it's so stupidly thin there's no point in wearing it in any season!  I'm pretty annoyed.  It was advertised as a winter coat, so I thought it would be somewhat thicker than it was.

The rhinestone tank was a great price, but I kind of wish I didn't spend as much on the others.  Especially the shorts.  They're not much better than the others one I have, except almost twice the price!

Red turtleneck:  $2.26
Mustard ruched turtleneck:  $2.26
Red ruched turtleneck:  $2.76
Leopard chiffon scarf:  $1.12
H&M ruched black dress:  $4.93 (RSP:  $14.95)

All off Ebay.

A lot of great basics in this lot, I especially love the cowl-necked shirts.

I don't think I would have paid as much for the dress if it wasn't H&M.

Pack of two socks:  $1.25 @ Dollarama
32GB USB drive:  $2.56 (free with Ebay bucks!) @ Ebay (RSP:  $8.99+)
Metallic/pearlescent rosette rings:  $1.25 each @ EFADS

The socks aren't cotton, but I haven't noticed anything detrimental, so I still pick them up whenever I see a print I like.

More dollar store jewelry, from the exact same store as last time!  As a bonus, these are clip-ons..I rarely see those anymore.

I probably wouldn't wear them as earrings, but I thought they'd be great rings/decorations.  I love everything about them, from the pearly rosette centers to the chrome outer petals.  Just had to get them! 

One's gold and one's silver, if it wasn't obvious from the blown-out picture.

The USB drive is a funny story.  It's either a seller mistake, or the post office's mistake...my package arrived damaged with a whole bunch of garbage in it, plus that thing. 

I was expecting a shirt.  The seller didn't even have any electronics for sale, so the whole thing is just bizarre to me.  At least there was something useful with the ripped wires thrown in there.

2 x Grey chiffon scarf:  $.30/$.55
Sky blue chiffon scarf:  $.21
Red chiffon scarf:  $.45
Bamboo body shaper:  $4.03

Black lingerie set:  $1.75
Leopard underwear:  $1.04
Black tank top:  $1.54 ($.17 thanks to Ebay bucks!)

White tank top:  $1.86
Floral scarf:  $.99
White ruffled shirt:  $3.16
White bubble sleeve shirt:  $1.26

All off Ebay.

I didn't get this all at once-I was so busy because of school there was a backlog!

I regret getting the first row of scarves-they're not even finished!  It would have been cheaper to buy scraps from a fabric store.  Lesson learned.  At least the floral one was worth it.

The last two shirts in the bottom row were surprisingly high quality.  I can't believe the one with lace sleeves was so cheap!

Contents from a P&G brandsampler.  It seems like they're always giving the same stuff away, to the same people too!

Metallic flower bangles:  $1.25 each @ EFADS

I hardly ever see dollar store accessories worth buying, but I just love how these look!

It's too bad they're just cheap plastic, they feel pretty flimsy...but I'm just such a sucker for big flowers.  There's a rose in the center!

It's hard to tell, but the first two are actually reversed (both have a silver/gold scheme).

They look the same unless you look really carefully, but I took them both since I couldn't make a decision.  Dollar stores do that to me.

Tons of freebies from a health fair today, but I ended up giving most of it away or eating it already.  They even had apples!

I got the shirt for filling out a survey about the fair, it was totally unexpected.  

I'm happiest with the pens-I just love free pens for some reason.  I've gotten tons since attending this school.

Black top (RSP:  $19.99-$29.99)
Black lace button up top (RSP:  $29.99-$39.99)
Pink lace button up top (RSP:  $29.99-$39.99)

3 for $10 @ Labels.

For a 'discount' store, the prices here are normally pretty high.  It's closing down, which is why they finally have some decent sales going on.  

I absolutely love the black lace top, but I'm not too crazy about the pink one.  I wish they had it in white instead.  At least both of them came with camis.   

I like the other top, but I don't really think it was worth the price as it's so basic-I did like the gathered design at the front though.  You had to buy 3 to get the sales price so this is what I walked away with.

Both off Ebay.

Beige corset: $6.76 (RSP:  $34.73)
2 x Striped chiffon dress:  $.69 each (RSP:  $22.18)

Both from Dinodirect.

I actually received this in the summer, but was waiting until I received my full order before posting.  I was missing a dress from this package, but it was supposed to be sent in a second shipment.

Well, three months later and it still isn't here.  I just contacted the company today-really hope they'll do something about it.

Black/white turnlock purse:  $5 (RSP:  $34.50)
Salmon turnlock purse:  $5 (RSP:  $41)
Boston bag:  $5 (RSP:  $41)

Rhinestone skull flask (RSP:  $14.25)
Silver rhinestone flask (RSP:  $16.50)
Pearl necklace (RSP:  $16.50)
Filigree bracelet (RSP:  $16.50)
Dragonfly pearl earrings (RSP:  $16.50)

5 for $10

All from Icing by Claire's.

I have way too many purses now, but I just couldn't pass these up.  I don't have any boston bags, and this one is made out of a faux leather-most of the other ones I've seen have been with worse materials.

I'm not too crazy about how it looks, but bought it because it holds an insane amount of stuff...everything in the last two posts and more!

The salmon one has a neat frame clutch that none of my other purses has, and it's a colour I don't already have.

I probably shouldn't have bought the black/white one since I have so many in that style..but I guess I don't have one exactly like this.

I just love flasks so I had to take those ones home.  Course I had to pad out my purchases as well.  I don't think the bracelet was really worth the price, but there was nothing else I really wanted there.

I absolutely wanted the necklace and I love the earrings too (though I kind of doubt I would wear them).  They were just too pretty to leave behind.

Halloween candy toys:  3 for $1 @ Dollarama (RSP:  $1-$1.25 each)

Apparently, the candy tastes horrible.  I probably shouldn't have bought these, but I've been eyeing these cycling monsters for a month!

I'm just such a sucker for articulated toys.   When you wind these up, their legs actual cycle!  I wish I just bought one, but I thought I had to buy 3 to get the sale price.

The pins are from a CBC tour I took today and the infusium is a sample from the mail.
