Sleek Python Slouch Bag (RSP:  $44.90)
Sheer Beaded Sleeve Blouse (RSP:  $59.90)

Twisted Yarn Pullover (RSP:  $49.90)
City Chic Stripe Blouse (RSP:  $49.90)

$17.17 for all @ Ricki's

They had such an amazing deal this time around!  Everything was 50 - 70% off the last ticketed price.  I'm glad I found out about the sale on time.

Rainforest shine shampoo:  free (RSP:  $5)
Tea tree cleanser:  $3 (RSP:  $6)

Both @ The body shop.

I was actually supposed to get an item completely for free, but the salesperson told me I needed to buy something.  I was interested in the cleanser, so I decided to get that.  I asked again online, and they confirmed that I didn't need to buy anything, so that's pretty annoying.

The hair ties were from Victoria's Secret's "summer party."  You were supposed to spin a wheel to get a prize, but this was the worst prize!  I can't believe they said it was worth $9.50...it's seriously just two tiny elasticized ribbons.

You had a one in two chance of winning these.  I wish I got one of the other prizes instead...they were all better than this one!  The best one was a pair of shorts that retailed for almost $40.

The rest of the things retailed for around $12 (a pair of underwear, a makeup bag, and lipgloss) but they were all better than this.  Oh well, hopefully I'll have better luck next time!

The silliest thing is, I had to answer a math question to get it!  Normally they don't enforce that rule.  You also had to do two tasks to even get a chance to perform a wheel.  They sure made you work for this promo!

Another brandsampler!  This time, there were two...a household one, and a beauty one.  You could only pick one.  This was the only one I qualified for, so it was easy.

I didn't expect there to be a full size mascara, so I'm pretty happy about that!

Black and white silk shirts:  $9.94 each @ Joe Fresh (RSP:  $49 each)

What a great deal!  I wish I had time to get an extra ten percent off, but I just found out about their free shipping event (NEXT day shipping...it's usually more than my order!)..and I barely had time to make my order!  I wonder if it would have taken off a crazy amount like last time.

Oh well.  I'm really happy I snagged these two!  They only had one size left, and it happened to be my size.  They also sold out quite soon after I bought them, and it's no wonder why.  This is such an amazing price for silk!

Moreover, the fit is so flattering!  Which is surprising, since most of their stuff is boxy and unflattering.  These shirts on the other hand, are pretty fitted and look amazing on.

I really don't know of any other place that ever sells silk this low.  I'm going to keep my eye out from now on!  Looking at their history, a lot of their other silk shirts have gone that low before.  Some have been $14.94 too, which I would have paid if I liked the print enough. 

I don't like buying them unless shipping is free though, so we'll see if things line up!

Looking at their past sales, a lot of them have gone under $20.  Surprisingly, the majority have been $9.94!

 
I think the best prints went on the deepest clearance, which is strange.  I would have loved to get all of those!  Too bad I wasn't paying attention back then.

I did have an opportunity to buy the $14.94 snake print shirt, but it wasn't in stock by the time they offered free shipping.  At least I managed to snag the blue one, and for even less than that.

Lolita Lempicka - L'Eau Jolie 30 ml EDT:  $19.99 free @ Shopper's drug mart (RSP:  $55)

I was waiting until they sent me a $10 off coupon, but I saw that they only had one left so I decided to just buy it now.  I used the gift card I got for seeing a presentation, so it was free!  I still have $4 left on it.

Pink asymmetrical bodycon dress (RSP:  $22.50)
Blue asymmetrical bodycon dress (RSP:  $17.50)
Black dress (RSP:  $42)


Grey ribbed high slit dress (RSP:  $18)
Grey asymmetrical bodycon dress (RSP:  $19.50)
Beige asymmetrical bodycon dress (RSP:  $19.50)

$19.94 for all @ Sirens

Except for the ribbed dress...I got that at Urban Planet for $5.38.  It was 70% off the regular price, and the material was pretty thick.  I don't like paying more than $5 for a plain dress like this, but I thought it was worth going a bit over my limit.

Of course I bought it before I checked out Sirens!  Otherwise, I might not have gotten it.  It is pretty different from the other grey dress I bought though...it's slit to the navel like the floral dress I bought previously.

Anyway, I'm really happy with the dresses I got from Sirens.  They're gorgeous!  The asymmetrical hem makes them look so dressy, and the price couldn't be better.  For the longest time they stayed at $10, so I'm glad to see $5 dresses there again.

The blue one is similar to this one.   The knot is near the stomach...which I'm not too fond of, but at least it's unique:



The other ones drape similar to this:


 So gorgeous!  I'm tempted to buy more in other colours.

The black dress was the only one there.  Since it retailed for so high, I wasn't sure if it was on the right rack.  Luckily for me, it was!  The funny thing about that dress is, it's almost exactly the same as Elvira's dress!


Except the slit is right in the middle, and the sleeves and hem don't have ragged edges.  I'm pretty sure I could move the slit over, and it would be easy to add extra fabric for the sleeves.  I guess I'm going to have to be Elvira in the future!

UK2LA - Chunky coral infinity scarf (RSP:  $15)
L.A. Express - Pink touch screen gloves (RSP:  $6)
Cat makeup bag (RSP:  $6)

$1 each @ Urban Planet

I'm glad I started checking this place out!  The scarf was such a great deal.  I'm glad I didn't pay $3 for it a while back.

The makeup bag is pretty crappy quality...it's not even sewn straight!  The sides are really misshappened.  But since I loved the print, I picked it up anyway.

Crochet tulip shorts:  $5 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $20 each)

I went to another location and noticed they had these colours.  The design is so pretty, I had to have it in every shade!

And I didn't even have to use a coupon!  I'm glad I managed to find out about this sale, it was one day only online, even though they made it sound like it would last for two.

Lenticular Jesus clock:  $5.99 @ Salvation Army

I really only wanted it for that frame, but $6 was more than I wanted to pay.  I don't come across ornate frames this big very often, so I decided to just get it.  

I think the colours are all faded from sun damage...plus I took that picture after I washed it, so it's a bit waterlogged.

Duck scrub brush:  $1.25 @ Dollarama
Krylon Colormaster spray in ballet slipper:  $5.99 @ Michael's

I still have an old can of Krylon, but I didn't think it would be enough for my dresser.  They don't have the exact same one I bought last time, but the lids look exactly the same.

This actually only retails for $4.97 at Wal mart, and it's $5.79 at Canadian Tire.  The regular price at Michael's is $9.99!  But my Wal mart didn't have it, and the colour's not on Canadian Tire's website.

I found out that it's only $3 in the States!  It sucks that it's twice the price here, but what can you do.

I was looking for a cute scrub brush because I'm going to need to do some major cleaning soon (including the rug, I didn't realize it as so gross!).  Anything that makes it more enjoyable is worth it!
