Expressions:  Oval stone hinge bracelet:  $3.59 @ The Bay (RSP:  $26)

The stone is semi precious and I really liked the design.  I think it's rose quartz.  I finally used up my gift card!  Free shipping too, and they used a stupidly large box.

All off eBay, except the bracelets, which were off aliexpress.

I'm going nuts over those crystal compilation necklaces!  I've always thought they were pretty, but when I saw them in person, I was hooked.  I wanted one in every colour!

They were $15-$40 locally from Sirens and Winners respectively.  I knew I could do much better online (I just wish I didn't pay as much for the first ones I bought).

The very top one is the best quality of them all!  I think it looks pretty exact to the original.  I couldn't tell from the pictures, but that one's actually bigger than my other dupes.

I was pretty smitten with the bracelets too, but I never saw them on auction.  The lowest buy it now on ebay is around $12, so I was happy to find them on aliexpress for around $5.

I saw that they were on sale for around $3.50 before, which would have been a steal!  But I didn't know if they would ever go that low again, plus I wanted them now.  Oh well!

I'm happiest about the J.Crew dupes.  They're always really nice quality!  They do look expensive in person.

Just found out that the pink gem necklace is Shourok inspired...it resembles their Tabetha necklace the most.

Gold starfish cuff:  $.99 (BIN:  $3.55+)
Gold leaf necklace:  $.91 
Lucite rose ring:  $1.45 

All off eBay.

It took a surprising amount of time to win those leopard heart glasses!  Of course, after I won it, a bunch of them went for way lower than I paid. 

I'm pretty happy about the starfish cuff.  It's such a neat idea, and it looks great on!  I'll probably wear it to the beach or something.

All off eBay.

I went a little crazy with the lace chokers.  They just look so nice in photos, but I don't think they wear as well in person.

I'm really happy about the pearl necklace though!  I actually won a different one, but it was out of stock.  They let me choose this one as a replacement.  They never put it on auction, so I wouldn't have been able to get it this cheap otherwise!

Cameo pantyhose (RSP:  $6)
Tan eelskin purse
Lia Sophia - NWT "Empire" 2010 Gold jeweled bracelet (RSP:  $130(!))
Lia Sophia - NWT "Dynasty" 2012 Silver collar necklace (RSP:  $142(!))
Joan & David - Black patent flats (RSP:  $180)


La Senza - NWT Fuchsia silk slip (RSP:  $40)
Completely Me by Liz Lange - NWT Fuchsia maxi dress (RSP:  $64)

All at that same place.  I was so surprised to find out how much that jewelry cost!  It's higher quality than most costume jewelry, but not by much.  I would have guessed maybe $30 would have been a more reasonable regular price.  You could get jewelry made out of high quality materials for that price!  Found a stock picture of the necklace:


Everything in the last picture was an extra.  They had a few racks outside the store with extra things anyone could take home.  I ended up getting some pink hangers, they were just too cute!

Lace pattern mirrored jewelry boxes:  $4 each (RSP:  $32 each)
Metallic rose drinking flask:  $2 (RSP:  $14.50)
Satin rosette lace covered gemstone cuff:  $2.25 (RSP:  $16.50)
Pink glitter heart shaped drinking flask:  $2 (RSP:  $16.50)

All @ Icing by Claire's.

I made out like a bandit today!  Really wasn't expecting to have such a successful day of shopping.

I love mirrored jewelry boxes, and $4 for one is a steal!  I wasn't sure if I should buy these ones though, since they were less than half the size of my other one ($5 for that was still the best deal ever!).

The bigger one had three drawers while the other ones have two drawers and a top compartment.  A better picture of the pattern on the pink one:

I bought them anyway.  I thought I could do something with them.  At first I was wondering if I should buy the one, and I ended up buying them all!

The bottom row was an afterthought.  I pretty much pick up any $2 flask that catches my eye...and the cuff...I just thought it was neat.

Floral gold cuff:  $2.25 off eBay (BIN:  $4.97)



The rest are samples from bath and body works and sephora.

Sephora's really going all out now!  I prefer this way, they even spray the card so you don't have to fiddle with the atomizer to smell it. 

I wonder if they're going to be giving out that pouch each time though...it seems like overkill!

18K gold plated fox bracelet:  $2.04 (Highest:  $5.04)
Gold plated cut out cuff:  $.80 (Highest:  $4.77)
Leopard silicone bra:  $3.25 (Highest:  $16)

All off eBay.

Nothing much to say about this lot.  I can't believe I only have 4 items in the mail right now!  I'm all eBay'd out.

Silver plated glittery leaf bracelet:  $1.04 (BIN:  $2.86)
Austrian crystal leaf bracelet:  $.94 (Highest:  $3.25)


Grey rhinestone and crystal collar:  $1.55 (Highest:  $3.16)

All off eBay.

The bracelets were kind of disappointing.  They looked nice in the pictures, but I didn't like them very much in person.

Especially the first one!  You couldn't see the leaf pattern at all..it was just a uniform glittery sheen.

I'm all jewelried out for a while!  The only thing I have left right now are a couple of bracelets and a necklace.

These were all impulse buys, but I'm glad I bought them!  They're good quality and really nice in person.  I have a gold version of the first bracelet coming in the mail.

Silicone bra:  $2.45 (Highest:  $7)
Gold owl cuff:  $2.08 (BIN:  $4.99)
Rabbit fur scarf:  $5.60 (BIN:  $9.99)

All off eBay.

I've really been laying off of eBay lately!  The cuff I accidentally bought a double of, but I'm pretty happy with the bra.

It was a buy it now, I couldn't believe it!  I was about to buy the same thing for twice the price, so I'm happy I tried some other search terms first.

It's supposed to be a C, but it seems kind of small.  I'm waiting for a D in leopard just to see how it compares...that one was more expensive, but the two together equal the price I was going to pay for the first one!

I was really excited about the scarf, but it's pretty thin in person.  No wonder the BIN was so cheap.  It was probably worth what I paid...I probably wouldn't have bought it if I saw it in person.

It does look nice, but since there are so many holes, it isn't warm at all!  I have another one in brown coming in the mail.

The best part was, it only took 8 days to arrive!  That's never happened before.

Anyway, the seller has some scarfs without holes in them, I'm trying to win one of those next.

Big black and white rhinestone collar:  $3.22 (BIN:  $9.99)
Blue and gold feather collar necklace:  $1.58 (Highest:  $5.89)
Black faceted glass bracelet:  $2.26
White faceted glass bracelet:  $1.91

All off eBay.

Love the first necklace!  I've been trying to win one for ages, they always go for much higher than I like.  

I really would have preferred a single colour, but this one's alright,  It combines the two colours that I want the most...I'm hoping to win an entirely clear one soon.

Can't believe the feather necklace was so reasonable!  That was the BIN price...I think I paid more than that for the same necklace on auction!

The black bracelet is the same as the white one I got recently.  I like the white one a lot better.

All off eBay.

I really didn't expect to see that skull necklace!  It took over two months to arrive.












I like the gold owl necklace (didn't notice it fell over in the picture), but it's way cheaper quality than I expected.  It looks just like some of the other ones I bought that were great quality, I really wish I didn't pay as much for this one.

Plus, I accidentally won another one, so I have another on the way!

I really wasn't expecting all of this mail today!  A lot of these things were in the mail for over two months, I thought they were lost for good.  The norm is a month afterall..

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with most of these items, especially the metal cuffs in the last row.  The leaf one is awesome!  The swarovski leaf one is gorgeous too, I'm so glad I bought it when I did.

Conversely, I'm annoyed I paid so much for the last three, which ended up being plastic.  Too bad, I really liked the design of the last one!  It just feels so cheap on, I just can't do it.

Gold collar necklace with green faceted gems:  $2.05 (BIN:  $6.98)

All off eBay.

That's the problem with waiting a month for things - I don't know what I was thinking back then!  I'm really not too fond of anything I bought in this lot.

I thought I'd love the faux leather bracelet, but it's not very nice in person.

I do like the cream gemstone necklace, but I already had one.  I accidentally won another one.

The shoes were great, but now I have so many of them.  Well, I won't need any more for a while!

All off eBay.

I really dropped the ball on this one!  I regret buying all of the gold cuffs above...I thought they were metal, and they all turned out to be cheap plastic.  The listing was really misleading.

I do love the pink one though, and I knew for sure that was plastic. Surprisingly,  don't care for the red one at all.

The belt was a disappointment too.  It looked so gorgeous in that picture, I was totally smitten with it for a while!  The quality is really crappy in person though.

Funnily enough, I saw the exact same belt at Value Village for $6!  So stupid, it cost me less new!

I'm in love with that cuff!  So happy that I got such a great deal on it.

Also happy about the bubble bib necklaces, I really didn't think I could get them for so low.  Now I'm trying to win the other colours.
