I thought the Zara necklace would be tiny like the last one, but thankfully, this one's the right size!  I don't mind that I paid nearly $5 for it now, though I'd be pretty annoyed if it ended up being the smaller one.

I've wanted that crystal flower Zara necklace for a long time now.  It's even more beautiful in person!  This one isn't in the original colour, and I have a bunch of other colours coming in.  I was waiting for a deal, but I've never really seen them for under $6.

I just couldn't wait anymore!  The necklace was definitely worth it.

I was excited about the Zara necklaces, but they were disappointing in person....they're so much smaller!!  About half the size.  I really didn't expect that, since they are exactly the same style otherwise.  Really wish I didn't pay that much for them!

I try not to buy dresses online, but this one worked out.  It was actually big enough, plus the quality was high enough to be in stores around here.  I wouldn't mind getting a few more, especially at that price!

One of my old sellers came back and I've been buying a ton of auctions from him.  I hadn't seen anything from him in two years, so it was surprising that he came back.

The very last necklace was a buy it now, and I thought it was a reasonable price.  Most of the other ones are $6+.  

I thought I got a good deal, but now another seller has it for $3.71!  Geez.

The crystal lattice necklace is way more spaced out than the original one...but once I put them closer together, it looks nearly the same as the original!

And all from my usual seller!  I just can't help myself..he always has such great stuff.  I just found out that one of the rings retailed for $16, so I'm sure most of them go for at least $10 each.

Most of them are really high quality and the designs are so neat.  I don't bother looking for rings anywhere else!

I didn't get these all on one day, but they all came this week.  Thought I might as well put them together.

I was supposed to get this ring too, but the seller forgot to include it:

Too bad, it was gorgeous!  I wish they could have resent it, but they said they didn't have any more. 

Fake Burberry jacket:  $9.99 @ Value Village

I bought this a long time ago...I never bothered to post these pictures after I found out it was a fake, but I thought I might as well now, in light of the other one.  Again, just for reference!

Luckily I was able to exchange this.  The fit wasn't flattering at all, so I wasn't that unhappy when they said it was fake.

Still, the details did look pretty good to me!  I've been looking at real ones, and I really can't see the difference in the tags.

I think I'll just have to inspect real ones at a store someday..

So, there you have it!  If you have anything like this, it's probably a fake too.

Lots of great deals in that lot!  The pearl one's my favourite...it's just so gorgeous in person.

Sailor Moon - Crystal star locket:  $1.99 

Scooby Doo Ghost Patrol vehicle:  $2.99 (RSP:  $25)

Both @ Value Village.

This place had so many toys!  There were a bunch of cars I was interested in, but since I already had so much stuff to carry, I decided they weren't worth it.  

I left behind a full sized My Little Pony car...I did like it, but it had a lot of wear.  I'm holding out for one in near mint condition...or at least until a time where I have a car!

Also left behind a Lalaloopsy RC car and a Polly pocket car.  I just didn't want to tire myself out, so at this point, I had to think about whether it was worth adding to my already massive burden.

Of course, this was a no-brainer:

There was never a North American version, so this is pretty rare!  It was actually only released once...well, there is a second version that looks completely different.  So happy.  I usually find about one Sailor moon role playing toy a year, but I'd be open to finding more!  

It still lights up, but it doesn't make any sounds.  I'm not sure if it just needs new batteries...but I opened it up, and it's some crazy size I've never seen before!  I don't even know if they still sell that size, but we'll see.

The Scooby doo van was just neat and cheap, so I bought it.  Though I don't have anything that can fit into it at the moment! 

Mirrored vanity tray with real pearls:  $3 @ Shared thrift store

I almost left this behind...not because it wasn't pretty, but because it was big, and I didn't really feel like lugging it around everywhere.

More than that, I didn't think I'd ever use it!  

But...once I saw that it was lined with REAL pearls, I changed my tune!  I've never seen a tray like this before.  And the pearls look uniform unless you look really closely, so I know this had to be expensive back in the day.

Guess I'll just have to find a use for it!

Hermes - Pavois silk scarf:  $12.99 @ Value Village (RSP:  $420)

Hooray!!!  My first Hermes find.  Funnily enough, I just put a thrifted Hermes purse on my wish list a week ago...and then I found this!

It was a lot more than I wanted to pay, considering that most of their scarves are priced at $4.99, and I wasn't entirely sure if it was real at the time.  Still, from what I did know about Hermes scarves (just secondhand knowledge from browsing thrift brags), it looked good.

It had the accent, and it had the forward facing rolled edges.  Plus, it was way heavier than any other scarf I've felt, which I also remembered hearing.

Honestly, I thought it was a thick polyester when I picked it up!  It really doesn't feel like any other silk I've felt. 

But I had it authenticated on eBay...and just like I thought, it's real!  I have no idea when this was issued though.  It first came out in 1964, but this looks new, so I doubt it'd be that old. 

Annoyingly, it would have looked BRAND new if Value Village didn't put four holes in it.  So excessive!  One would have been enough.  That's what they normally do, so why'd they have to go nuts on the one scarf that's actually worth something??

But I've seen ones with copyright marks, and those ones had boxes so I assumed they were newer.

Well, whatever the case, I'm happy to have my first Hermes!  It really is a work of art.  I hope to find several more from here on out!

Fake Burberry blazer:  $14.99 @ Value Village.

Obviously, I thought it could be real, otherwise I would have never bought it!  The buttons were iffy, but the rest was actually pretty nicely made...so I thought I should pick it up just in case.

I've had more fake Burberry than any other brand!  Really got to learn how to tell.

I'm hoping I can find something to exchange it with, otherwise, I'm stuck.  They have such a dumb return policy!  

Worst case scenario, I keep the blazer and take out everything that says Burberry.  It really does still look nice, but I'd be sore about paying $15 for any blazer that wasn't high end.

Anyway, just leaving these pictures up for myself, and for anyone else who might find this useful.  Remember...this is fake, fake FAKE!

The forum I got it authenticated on doesn't tell you why it's fake, but I'm sure the buttons were a dead giveaway.  The r's should have defined rattails.

I also think that items like these are sized in numbers, rather than in generic sizes.  But that's just a guess on my part!

Their store brand is pretty decent, but these ones felt like a better deal.  I do think they're at least slightly better quality.  They definitely look a lot more interesting.  Besides, the other ones are around year round, while these ones will be gone pretty soon!

The ASOS necklaces were actually buy it nows!  I was so surprised.  I've never even seen them go that low on auction, so I'm really happy I managed to find those.

I'm annoyed about the J.Crew fan necklace dupe...it's completely different!  Even the chain, which is the worst part.  I wouldn't pay that much for one with the cheaper chain.  I really hope the seller will give me at least a partial refund.

Studded wallet:  $2 @ Claire's (RSP:  $13.75)

The rest were freebies.  The one from L'Occitane en Provence was a great one, since it scanned in at $12!  It was a facebook offer...they've had it for a week, but I didn't want to go just for that.  I'm so glad they still had some left.

You could choose between a 7.5 ml Jasmine and Bergamot eau de toilette, or a 35 ml almond shower oil.  Well, I'm a sucker for perfume so it was an easy choice.

I never shop at Claire's anymore, since it seems like their target age range goes down every year!  The person shopping next to me this time was a 7 year old...seriously. 

This wallet was probably the only thing on sale that didn't look completely childish.  It was totally worth the two bucks!
