Grandiou leather crossbody:  $23.99 @ Naturalizer (RSP:  $160)

I don't usually like flat bags, but I really liked the bronze leather.  Also, it has RFID technology!  I've never seen that already built into a bag before.  


It looks a lot nicer in person, so I'm glad I got it.  It was 20% off the last price plus free shipping...pretty good deal!

It came in wine too.  It's pretty nice:


I've also seen it in black, but they only had the bronze in stock.  Hopefully I can find another one of their bags in this colour!

Juicy Couture - Leather jewel clutch:  $9.99
Kurhn doll:  $3.99

Both @ Value Village

Just found out that this location is closing down.  Too bad, I've found a lot of good stuff there recently!

I was really excited about the Juicy Couture clutch.  I'm pretty sure it's real, and the details are gorgeous!  The leather is quite nice too.  There's some wear, but it'll look great after a cleaning.

I just love that big jewel, and the rhinestone bows on the side.   Those look completely new, thank goodness, or the bag could have looked pretty used.

I'm surprised the price was so reasonable.  They usually price Juicy stuff ridiculously high, so I don't know why this one wasn't.  It's usually the gaudy velvet stuff that I would never buy, so I'm ok with that.  The retail price was probably around $250.

I found a purse from the same collection..same gold leather and gem details:


Then the exact same Jewel style in a bowler bag:


I don't think either of those look very nice, but the style does look good as a smaller bowler bag:


It's in burgundy too!


But, I think it looks best as a clutch.  Found the exact same style I got in black:


I didn't really want to pay that much for the Kurhn doll, but I was already surprised to find it in the first place.  I got a clone a while back, and I did want a real one...I don't know if I'll ever find one again, so I had to get it.

Gold snakeskin clutch:  $5.99
Bag of compacts:  $5.99
Bag of vintage wrapping paper:  $1.99

All @ Value Village

The wrapping paper was an impulse buy.  I thought the graphics were so cute on that top one!  I skimmed through it, and saw a few more I liked...the pink one, and the vintage wedding ones:


Sadly, half of them ended up smelling like stale smoke, so I might not keep them all.  I don't know how easy it is to get smoke out of paper!

The compacts were from another Value Village.  I really only wanted the Sailor Moon locket, but it came in a bag of Polly Pocket compacts.  The price was higher than I wanted to pay, but I thought it was worth it because those compacts are pretty neat.


I've always liked the idea of it, but never really got into it because I thought the figures inside were ugly.

Well, all but one of these are complete!  I was so surprised, there were some really tiny pieces in there...like a tutu and sprinkle sized decorations.  This kid really took care of her stuff!

It turns out that complete sets can go for $30+, so this was a great buy!  One of them is a knockoff I've never heard of, but even those sell for a decent price.  I don't think I'll sell them though...I do think they're quite neat.

The doll was cute and mod, but I couldn't find any markings on it.  Too bad, it's nice quality!  I would have liked to find out more about it.

Maxx New York - Gold pigskin turnlock purse:  (RP:  $6.99)
Ralph Lauren - School uniform type wool blazer (RP:  $7.99) (RSP:  $290!)

Both for $12 @ Salvation Army (had a coupon).

It wasn't a really good deal, but I just loved that blazer!  I think the embroidery is distinct enough for people to tell that it's not actually part of a uniform.  Plus, I just love all of the gold buttons.

I also love gold leather, so I had to pick up that purse.  It looked like new, and it has a lot of elements I normally like, like turnlocks and huge chains.

I just hate floppy purses though.  I ended up buying it anyway because I thought the design was neat, it was great quality, and it looked new.  I'm planning on giving it to a friend.

Sophisticate - Pink suit w/lace accents:  $5.60


Comet - Red eelskin chain strap purse:  $4.90
Capprino - Gold leather purse:  $5.60
All @ Value Village.

I'm glad I went here!  I was initially just going to go to one of them, but I decided to come here since I had the time.  Even though VV has horrendous prices, they do seem to get the best stuff...and the prices are somewhat reasonable on sales days.

It took me a while to decide on the purses, since they were visibly used.  The eelskin one wasn't so bad, so I decided to get it right away.

The leather one was worse!  There were visible scuffs, but worse, the lining had to be repaired!  I asked for a discount but they said they couldn't since it just came out today.  I bought it anyway since I love gold leather...I've been looking so long for a nice gold leather purse.

There were actually two suits I was considering, both of them pink!  

This one as a no-brainer!  The design was gorgeous...I love the lace and all of those pretty buttons.  Not too fond of the top half, so I'll be customizing it later on.  The price was just what I wanted to pay!

The other one would have been $14, which just didn't seem worth it.  It's a common pleated skirt/gold button blazer combo, but they were both so fitted and lovely.

The light pink colour was just so dated though...nobody wears that anymore!  In the end, it was just the price that stopped me...I would have snatched it up if it was less than $10!
