Chain loop belt:  $1 @ Kim's Village

They had another $1 sale, so I just had to check it out.  I'm surprised I came away with so little!  I was eyeing this silk Mulberry dress, but I just thought the print was kind of ugly.  It fit me, but I didn't think I'd wear it, so I left it behind.

It's been a while, but I prefer it that way!  I'm trying to tone it down a bit so I take a while to decide before buying something on here.  Let's see how long that lasts!

Black and blue lace peplum tops w/chain belts:  $2.50 each (RSP:  $12 each)


Long navy green tank dress:  $3.50 (RSP:  $12)
Seduction - Long black tank dress:  $3.50 (RSP:  $21)

All @ Sirens

I was originally going to buy more, but then I realized that my coupon had expired!  I considered going back another time when I had the coupon, but I didn't want to miss out.  Those tank dresses were the last ones there, and they were such a great deal!

I was kicking myself for not checking before I left, but it turns out it hadn't even been posted at that time.  They posted it right after I bought it!

I was actually going to buy similar ones on ebay for $6.25 each..I didn't think I could find them locally for even cheaper!  What are the chances of that?  I was literally going to buy them online yesterday!  

Those ones would be of questionable quality, so I'm really glad I waited.  The green one's about mid calf length, while the black one is floor length.  

The lace tops are the same ones I bought at urban behavior a while back.  They were $.50 more, but I regretted not buying the blue one back then, so it was ok.  

These were all "2 for $x dollar" deals, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought the black lace top.  I already have so many!  I would have still bought both tank dresses though, I can't get enough of them!  They're so versatile, simple, and effortless.

The black one was actually made in the US!  It's just one s apart from their store brand, seductions.  There's a hole in the back and it has a lot more detail than the other one, which is probably why it was almost twice the price.

Red and white lace peplum top with chain belts:  $2 each (RSP:  $12 each)


Metalllic gold brocade shorts:  $3 (RSP:  $19)
Embroidered rose button up chiffon dress:  $10 (RSP:  $28)


Parisian collection - Beige gold/pink chiffon rosette floor length dress:  $10 each (RSP:  $28)

All @ Urban Behavior

This is why I love this store!  It's the best place to get cheap clothing year round.  I just wish it was closer to get to.

I actually came back for the red lace top.  I saw it yesterday and wanted to get it, but I didn't have time.  I wish I bought the blue one as well, but I'm glad I managed to get those ones.  

The red is a dark burgundy, totally gorgeous!  I was initially just going to get that one, but I'm just such a sucker for white lace, especially at that price.

The shorts were a great buy.  I thought they were so neat, I've never seen them around!  For the price, I thought they were worth adding to my closet.

I didn't really want to pay $10 for the rose dress since I already have similar dresses in that style, but the print swayed me.  I just love the colour, the size..everything about it!  Since I was getting a deal on everything else, I decided to just splurge.

The floor length dresses are my favourites from this round.  I actually dismissed them yesterday, thinking they'd look cheap and ugly on...but I was wrong!  They're actually really gorgeous, and don't look cheap at all.

It turns out the cashier actually forgot to scan one of them in, so I ended up with a really great deal on everything.

I've never seen them at any of the other stores, so I'm happy I got them here.  I wouldn't have them otherwise!

Seductions - Ruched black knotted chain halter top (RSP:  $5 - $20)
Seductions - Ruched blue knotted chain halter top (RSP:  $5 - $20)


Seductions - Raised silver dotted high low peplum top (RSP:  $2.50 - $20?)
Seductions - High waisted black military pants (RSP:  $5 - $18)


Seductions - Faux leather floor length chiffon skirt dress (RSP:  $5 - $32)
Seductions - Sequined bustier floor length chiffon dress (RSP:  $5 - $24)

All for $22.50 @ Sirens.

That works out to $3.75 each!  That's why I love Sirens...they have such great stuff for cheap. 

I've wanted the chain tops for a long time, they're so gorgeous!  They didn't have the blue one in my preferred size, but I just had to get it anyway.

The high low top in the second picture was an impulse buy.  I saw it in the $2.50 rack, but it had no tag and it was the only one there, so I wasn't sure if it was right.  They gave it to me for that price anyway.

I was considering buying the pants in blue and red, and I might end up doing that if they're still there next time.

But I wanted to get the most out of my coupon, so I decided to go with things that I would definitely use.  I'm still not too sure about brightly coloured pants, but I love the design of those!

The dresses were such a steal, it was a no brainer!  Even though the sequined one is an XS, surprisingly, it's stretchy enough to work.  Yay!

I'm really tempted to check out the other ones.  The bad thing about that is, I hate seeing the stuff I already bought go lower!

Just today, I saw 3 of the tops (the snakeskin ones and the coral one) that I got in this post for $2.50...in the size I wanted too!  Ugh.

Black ruffle top w/chain straps:  $5 (RSP:  $19)
White ruffle top w/chain straps:  $5 (RSP:  $19)

Both @ Sirens.

Yep, these are the same style as the one I bought yesterday.  It was so flattering and sexy on, I had to go back for the other colours!

I was worried they might be gone, but luckily they still had them there. 

I know I can get way better deals at Winners if I wait, but I just love the styles at Sirens!  These are versatile and timeless so I feel like they were worth it.

Black studded shoulder bodycon dress:  $8 (RSP:  $27)
Red studded shoulder bodycon dress:  $8 (RSP:  $27)
Red ruffle top w/chain straps:  $4 (RSP:  $19)

All @ Sirens.

This is why I love Sirens!  They have such great designs that sometimes go for reasonably cheap.

It was a no-brainer when I saw these three, though I decided to try them on first.   I'm really glad I got them when I did since they were gone a few minutes later!

Now I wonder if I should have gone even earlier.  On the first day they even had an extra 20% off!  I wonder if I could have used the coupon then, like I did this time.

Gold multi leaf necklace (RSP:  $16.50)
Gold wire jewelry holder w/black rosette center (RSP:  $16.50)
Black metal floral headband w/rhinestone detailing (RSP:  $25.75)
Gold woven cuff bracelet (RSP:  $14.25)
Gold mesh necklace (RSP:  $28(!))
3 tiered gold circle earrings (RSP:  $16.50)

$2 each @ Icing

I came here for the Zellers liqiduation sale (which ended up pretty disappointing), so luckily I had this to turn the tide!

A bunch of items were marked down to $2, which is great, since I don't always have enough to partake in their 5 for $10 sales.

Funnily enough, I ended up buying more than I normally would.  Didn't see that coming!

The other good thing is, they included items in the higher price margins this time.  I got two items that were nearly $30 each, which would normally be $5 during their regular clearance.


I have a ton of leaf necklaces already, but I just really liked this one.  It sure tangles like crazy though.

I probably could have gotten similar earrings on eBay for cheaper, but these were nice quality and looked great.  I just couldn't say no!

I'm happy with everything.  I love Icing!  Their stuff is right up my alley, fashionable and sophisticated.  I really love the jewelry holder (look at those curled ends!) and the headband.


It's the nicest headband I've ever seen!  It's study metal, intricate, and huge.  I don't even wear headbands, but I'd pick this one to start!

Gold plated multileaf necklace:  $2.91 (BIN:  $8.10+)
Silver multichain necklace:  $2.47 (BIN:  $6.91)
18K Gold plated oval gem necklace w/filigree flower detailing:  $2.36 (BIN:  $6+)

All off eBay.

I've been going hard on the statement necklace front lately!  Small pendants just don't do it for me.  I like my jewelry big and bold.

I'm totally in love with the leaf one, but some of the other ones don't look as good in person as they did on the screen.  Will have to be judicial with my purchases from now on!

Miller light - beer shaped aluminum water bottle:  $3 @ Dollarama (RSP:  $12.99)
White chain mesh purse w/gathered rhinestone detailing:  $5.99 @ Value Village

I went to the dollar store on a whim...truthfully, I wanted to see if they had any more awesome belts!

They didn't, but they had this instead...which I found just as awesome.  It was the second last one they had (and the other was out of package) so I took it as a sign.  I haven't seen this at any of the other ones!

Ah, Value Village.  I didn't want to pay this much, but the purse is so gorgeous!  Too bad it's stained and the rhinestones are falling off.

When I got home, I found out they were having a half off sale in TWO days!  I wonder if this would have still been there..

Albert nipon - Silk skirt:  $3.50
J.Renee - studded suede pumps:  $5


Cosmo - Pearlescent plastic box purse:  $7
Fuschia snakeskin purse:  $4.20
Gold mesh purse:  $4.20

All from Value Village.

I'm glad I came in today!  Most of the above just hit the floors so I don't know how long they would have lasted.

I love the pearlescent purse, but it was such a ripoff.  $10!  Everything was 30% off with my spring savings pass, but $7 was still way too much for that purse, especially considering the condition.

It's rusty almost everywhere, leaving a gross brown stain, well, everywhere.  The lining is falling apart and is in gross condition too.  

But I just loved it so much it had to come home with me.  I do have it in blue!  I didn't think I'd see it again so I had to snatch it up.

Shoe detailing:


These are awesome!  The heels aren't that high so it's not too bad to walk in.  Otherwise, I would have left them behind.


 I just love all of the studs.

Fuschia isn't really my colour but it looked like new, I like the design, and I'm a sucker for snakeskin.

The gold purse shows some wear on the inside but it still looks great outside.  I love how it shines in the light.

Hooded leather trench coat:  $6.49
CNKW - Quilted burnished gold purse: $2.49 (RSP:  $35+)

Both @ Talize.

I saw this coat a while ago, but didn't buy it since I knew there would be a half price sale on.

If there wasn't, I probably would have paid full price...$12.99 is pretty decent for a leather coat this nice!

When I saw it I didn't think it was that great, but the fit is incredibly flattering. Plus it has a hood.

I already have a ton of leather coats, but since I don't have one in this colour (dark burgundy)....and it has a hood...it came home with me.

Being half price helped a lot too.

I don't normally buy used purses, but I really loved the design of this one - I'm such a sucker for quilted turnlock purses..  It looked like it had never been used, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.

But come on - it was only $2.50!  I just had to buy it.

CBI Distributing Corp - round quilted red purse with heart studs:  $3.37 @ Claire's (RSP:  $13.75)

I thought this purse was just the cutest little thing!  I love the heart accents, and I always prefer chain straps.  It's only big enough to hold my tiny wallet, but sometimes that's all you need.
