Occasions - Pink sheep plush:  $3 @ Dollarama

I don't normally buy plushes, but this one was just so cute!  I love this shade of pink...it reminds me of cotton candy.  Plus the plush itself is so fluffy and adorable.

I thought it over for a while, and decided to get it in the end.  $3 for something that makes me happy?  Why not.  

The used ones aren't much less, not that I ever check out that section.  I just don't care about plushes that much.

Especially dollar store plushes!  Though they're all pretty decent looking, they're mostly really generic and forgettable.  And even though the quality is fine, you can tend to tell which ones are from dollar stores.

This one was better quality than most.  Even though it was made for dollarama, if I didn't see any of the tags, I would have thought it was from somewhere else.  It's a decent size...10X10X7 inches.  The ones at Toys r us that size start at $15!

There were three of these sheep there, and they all looked so different!  Mine was the biggest, roundest one there.  The other ones were flatter and less stuffed, plus the faces were different too.  Not that they were supposed to be different, but the placement was so inconsistent they didn't match.

I saw a white one too, but I wasn't very tempted.  It's got to be animatronic, or pink!

Takara 2nd generation Lady Licca doll:  $2.99 @ Value Village

Hooray!  I love finding Licca dolls.  I actually didn't even notice that this one was taller, since the face was exactly the same as the other ones.

After I realized she was nearly the same size as Jenny, I thought she was probably a Jenny friend.  But I found out who she really was after looking her up online.  I think they should have changed her face if they wanted her to be more mature.

I bought this last Monday, the same day I went to Talize.  Too bad I didn't find anything at the other Value Village!

Furreal Zambi elephant:  $2 (13 days)(RSP:  $50+)
My Scene vespa:  $1 (3 days)

All @ Talize

I almost didn't go, but I'm sort of glad I did.  I always find neat stuff!  

I have so many blazers, I really don't want to buy anything that's not high end.  But that Zara one had such a flattering design, I had to get it.  

The boots are such wonderful quality, and they're new!  The soles only have store wear, they definitely haven't been worn outside.  

They're so comfortable too!  This is a size 11, which is bigger than I normally use, but I thought it still looked ok.  

I remember seeing that elephant in stores.  I think the lowest I saw it for was around $30, which I definitely wasn't going to pay.  

But it was a no-brainer for $2!  I just hope it works. 




All Christmas presents that I never got around to posting until now.  I'm happiest about that lalaloopsy girl!  I've wanted them for a long time.

I actually got this throughout the month.  A lot of them were buy it now's, because I had a $5 off coupon from ebay. 

I'm really happy about the dress from the last row!  The crochet detailing is gorgeous, and I received it in less than a week.  The seller sent it by EMS for some reason, but I'm not complaining.

I also love those last two necklaces.  I'm really happy I won them, because they were only listed once!  Both of them are much better than I expected, especially the very last one.  It's so heavy and high quality!

Surprisingly, I got all of this stuff only an hour after the last time!  I really didn't expect them to mark things down so fast, but they did it twice in that time!  I'm so glad I decided to look again.

I was really excited about those gloves.  I've been eyeing them since they were $10!  I didn't want to pay that much, even though they were always in perfect condition.  These ones are ripped near the fur, but it's an easy fix.  

$10 seemed more like regular price, especially considering that the fur isn't real.  It just didn't seem like much of a deal.

I was pretty happy about that dress too.  I loved the colour, but it was $9 when I first came.  I thought it'd go down to $5, so $3 was a nice surprise!

Ditto on the jacket.  I actually didn't even see it the first time around, but even if I had, I don't think I would have been tempted to pay $16 for it.

$11 was a steal!  Especially considering that it's filled with feathers.  The other puffer I have is just filled with polyfill.   If I knew it was this good, I might have been tempted to pay the $16, so luckily I didn't see it until then.

I thought this one would have been totally cleared out too!  I didn't have high hopes, but I was going to the mall anyway, so it wasn't a big deal.

I actually saw that rose top when it was $2, so I'm glad I didn't buy it then.  I was tempted, but I don't really wear crop tops.  For that price though, it was worth picking up!

The retail price is so surprising for these.  $20 for tights??  All of these are about the same quality as the stuff at forever 21, and the retail price there is a fraction of the price.

All @ Winners

So many sweaters here!  They actually didn't have that much stuff left, so I'm surprised I managed to find this much.

The $5 sweater is the best one.  It feels so nice!  It is plus sized though...way bigger than I'd like.  I might just return it.

Knit infinity scarves:  $3 each @ Sirens (RSP:  $15 each)

I don't normally bother to buy scarves that aren't made from quality materials, but I couldn't help it with these ones.  You can't tell from the picture, but they're so huge and plush!  They feel really nice too.  

Plus, they're infinity scarves.  The good quality ones I find secondhand aren't this modern.  I'm happy with these, I can't wait to use them next winter!

I'm happiest about that jumpsuit.  It's so neat!  What a great price too.

The velvet clutch is also quite pretty.  I just need to put something at the top, because a decoration is missing there.  No big deal...at least everything else is in perfect condition.

Finally!  It's that time again.  After missing out on the last one, I was really excited to see what I would find this time.

I'm happiest about the dresses.  Always love finding cheap dresses!

I also saw the Anna Sui perfume tin I bought last time...I really wish I could have seen the price!  Not that I would have bought it again, but I'm just so curious.  It should be at least half price...if it was less than $12, that would have blown my mind!

Zip front jeggings:  $6 @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $29.50)

I don't have any jeans that fit me, and this was a decent price.  I haven't seen any $5 pairs in a long time, and those were mostly unflattering.

These ones actually look good on me, so I'm glad I got them.  They were the only ones there!

Zara - Wool peplum blazer:  $5.99 (RSP:  $70+)
Armani collezioni - Wool peplum blazer:  $9.99 (RSP:  $1000+)

Both @ Value Village.

Different ones.  I also saw a Christian Dior speedway saddle bag that looked very real, except it didn't have an authenticity code.  It was made out of nice leather and everything!  

For $12.99, I didn't feel like risking it.  Plus, the strap needed to be fixed.

I also saw a givenchy puffer jacket!  I didn't bother trying it on, because it was $30...plus it had huge shoulders!  It also didn't look very warm.

At the first store I went to, I saw an armani suit for $40.  It was so used and dated!  Huge shoulder pads and everything.

Just last month, I found an armani blazer for $30...but it was also really used looking.  Too bad, the design was modern and gorgeous!
