Liv - Hayden in Wonderland doll:  $3.75 (RSP:  $19.99)

Lottie - Raspberry Ripple fashion:  $1 (RSP:  $10+)

Both @ Shared thrift store

I always like going to this store, because for some reason, they always have new in box toys!  The years range all over the place too, from the early 2000's to now, so I have no idea what their deal is!

I've never even seen this wonderland line sold in Canada, which is a shame, because it's definitely the best one.  They all have such neat outfits!  This one has remnants of a winners sticker on it, so I'm guessing it was only sold there.

This is one of the best ones, so I'm really happy I found her.  I love her pocket watch, which is strangely oversized when you compare their scale.

Anyway, I was surprised she was so cheap!  There were other Liv dolls that were $4.75 (and one beach doll for $3.75), and this one was much nicer.  I didn't pick up the other ones because I didn't like their outfits, and they just didn't seem worth it overall.

All of their single doll outfits were $1.75, which really didn't seem worth it.  For $2 more, I could have a doll too by their pricing!  

The lottie outfit had no price on it, so I brought it up just in case.  Happily, the lady charged me $1, which is much more along the lines of what I wanted to pay.

I've seen these dolls on someone else's blog.  They remind me of americanized Licca dolls.  I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them, but they're kind of cute.  

It's definitely the kind of doll I'd want a child to play with, so I see the appeal there!

Liv - Moonlight Dance Daniella doll:  $2.99

Teacup piggies - Hightop:  $1.99

Both @ Value Village

That doll had some neat accessories and a two toned wig, so I thought she was worth picking up at that price.  She's not wearing her stock dress, but other than that she seems complete.

I've never seen any brown pigs (nor do I have any), so I couldn't resist for that price.  I wonder if I should just return my new ones, I've seen so many used ones now!

Of course, the lighter ones always look so dingy.  Plus, they don't come with their teacups!  Some of them might have ended up in the dishware section, but I always forget to look there.

Liv - Katie "It's my nature" doll:  $1.99

Lil' Bratz lot:  $1.99

Both @ Value Village

I bought all of these dolls just for their clothes.  Well, I might steal the Liv body for something else.  Even though I do think they have pretty faces, I'm just not that into them anymore.

I would have passed on her completely, but her outfit is just so neat!  There are so many pieces and the entire thing looks so put together and stylish.  I really like her boots.  Price was great too, so that clinched it!

I see them all of the time.  It's too bad little girls don't seem to like them!  I still think they were way better than most dolls still on the  market.  Certainly  much better than barbie.

Well, I'll still continue to pick up the cheap ones I find that have interesting wigs or clothing.  

1968 Barbie doll case:  $1.50 @ Penny pincher
Liv Twist n Dance Daniella:  $1 @ MCC Thrift Shop
Calvin Klein - Euphoria perfume:  free (or, $13.95!)

I actually got the case about a week ago, but I forgot to post it.

The case is in pretty beat up condition, but I've always wanted a vintage barbie case!  They don't go for much on ebay, but there's no way I could have gotten one for less than this...shipping alone is always at least $10.

I hope I can find some of the older, classier ones, but for now this'll do.

I'm over my Liv kick, but I told myself I'd pick up the ones with neat hair under $2....and this one fits the bill!

Not only does this one have neat here, she has great makeup, and great boots!  With no tax either, it was a no brainer!

The boots and tights are original, but I thought her outfit looked pretty bad anyway.

The perfume was a gift for subscribing to Elle.  I really don't think they would have sent it to me if I didn't ask about it...I waited two months, and still nothing!

After I complained, it magically appeared in the mail, alone, two weeks later.

So anyway, $13.95 was for one year, which is decent by itself.  I love reading fashion magazines, but newstand prices are a total ripoff.

But $1.16 per issue is totally worth it!  The perfume was the clincher...it's worth about $20 alone!  I just had to jump on the deal.

I've seen some other subscriptions that are around the same price, and I am tempted to buy them...but I'll hold out for ones that have additional promotions like this one.

Liv - Liv'n funky wig - Brown with blonde highlights:  $1.50 @ Zellers (RSP:  $5+)

Zellers is closing in two days, and prices are still unreasonable!  This was the only ok one.  I was still a bit undecided, I've seen people get these wigs for as low as $.50!

Plus, I've gotten dolls WITH wigs for the same price!  Geez, even a new in box one for only $1.50 more!

I really liked this one so I bought it.  They had two other wigs, but those ones were $2.70 each!  Total rip off.

I'm considering going back on the last day...they'd definitely be worth the $.90 they'd be then!

 It's too bad they're discontinued.  They were pretty nice dolls.

Liv - Making Waves Katie doll:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $18)
Renee Rafe - Black silver foil dotted push up bra:  $2 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)
XOXO - Black sequin band bra:  $2 (RSP:  $9.99 - $24.99)

All @ Winners.

I almost didn't know what to do with myself today!  I went to the bra section, and almost EVERY bra was $3...it was so hard to decide!

A bunch were $2 as well, but most weren't my size.  I really wish I didn't buy all of those $3 bras in the past, now there are a bunch of better $3 ones!  Now I want to see what the other stores have.

The Liv doll was an impulse buy.  I buy up any $2 ones I find used, so I reasoned that I had to buy this $3 one new! 

Too bad she doesn't have much of an outfit, but I do like her hair and sunglasses.

Seductions - Black ruffle sleeveless top with mandarin collar and keyhole neckline (RP:  $3.99)

Liv - Twist & Dance Sophie doll (RP:  $1.99)

Both for $1.10 @ Value Village

This is why I should have gotten more coupons!  What an amazing deal.

I've wanted that doll for a while, I'm happy I managed to find her so cheap.  She even has most of her outfit!  

I just added in the top so I could use my coupon.  I really do like the design, but it does have a bit of wear, plus I would have preferred a larger size. 

Well, no complaints for what I paid!  Only 3 coupons left now.  I'll wait until next week, they expire in January.

Playmates Allysen - interactive animatronic doll:  $4.99 (RSP:  $100)
Liv - 1st edition Sophie doll:  $1.99 (RSP:  $24.99)

Both @ Value Village.

I find the first doll pretty ugly, but I thought she was so cool!  Her face is rubber, and she even feigns emotion.  It's like my own creepy little robot!

She was reasonably priced, so I decided to get her.  She retailed for around $100, but she basically has no resale value..too bad. 

I have a lot of Liv dolls now, so I'm trying to be picky when I see them.  They have to have their wigs and be $2 or under..thsi girl fit the bill!

She even has most of her original stock outfit, which sadly, I find really ugly.  Their style is a lot younger than the dolls themselves look.

There were two more that I left behind.  They were nude and bald, plus I didn't think their face paint was that interesting.  This girl's colours were so bright and cheery, I had to get her!

Burgundy eelskin purse:  $4

Big snakeskin purse:  $4

Bag of dolls:  $2

All @ Talize.

It was half off day - of course I had to go!  Last time I didn't find much, but it was a different story this time.

I normally like more structured bags, but since these ones were bigger I didn't mind.  

The styles were somewhat simple, but since the materials were so luxe I had to pick them up.  Especially the snakeskin bag, it was a steal for one that huge!\

Also bought a bag of dolls.  I only bought it for the nude Liv doll, but it turns out the wig belongs to a moxie teen doll...those are kind of crappy quality.  

I wish it was a Liv wig, but at least the girl is the last character I needed to complete my set.  There was also a flight attendant suit that I thought was sort of neat, though it is on a cheapo doll.

*edit*

Turns out the snakeskin purse is actually embossed leather.  It took me a while to realize that!

Monster high - Dead Tired Cleo doll (nude):  $5.99
Liv - It's my nature Hayden doll:  $1.99

Both @ Value Village (Surrey / Newton)

I actually found three monster high dolls at the first Value Village, but they were priced stupidly high!  Even worse, two of them were stained, dirty, and handless...highway robbery at that price!

I thought this one was overpriced too, but I found her so gorgeous.  I actually ended up coming back to get her, since I haven't seen used Monster High dolls in a long time, and I didn't know if I would find her again.

She was the only one in decent condition...she basically looked new.  When I went home however, I found out that she has TWO left hands!

How annoying.  I already thought it was a ripoff without that little flaw.

Anyhow, I found a cheap Liv doll at the other Value Village, so it was a no brainer.  These dolls really grew on me!  I find them so charming.

I don't have this one, and I liked her wig, so I had no qualms picking her up.  I think I'll probably pick up any Liv doll (that still has a wig) for this price.

Patty - ruffled khaki shirt w/ buckled front:  $4

Seductions - NWT Blue ruffled sleeveless blouse:  $3.50

Liv doll (2nd edition Katie, Dog set)  w/two wigs and chair (all from the Salon studio set):  $3.99 (RSP:  $31.99+)
Liv doll (1st edition Alexis) + other dolls:  $2

All @ Talize.

I was really tired this day, but I just can't miss a half off sale!  I woke up half an hour before it started and still managed to get there right when it opened.

It was pretty disappointing.  I normally find a lot more stuff there, but this time it was slim pickings!  There was this vintage leather box purse with a really neat dial closure that I wanted - it was only $3 too!

But it had some noticeable scratches at the front that I couldn't fix.  I have enough purses now, that I really shouldn't be adding more unless they're in great condition, or just really unique.

Anyway, the prices were insane this time around!  Even at half price, most things were still a ripoff.

I'm happy with what I found though.  The first shirt was a no brainer!  The design was gorgeous and unique, plus so flattering on.  They ended up charging me full price though, I hope my refund went through.

The other one I was unsure of.  I like how it looks, but I don't care for blue that much...plus, it is a mall brand.  I wouldn't have bought it if it didn't have tags on.

I think it might have been worn though, since I did see one stain on it.  I suppose it could have happened in the change room.

Well, I tried it on and it was so flattering, I just had to get it.  I probably could have gotten it entirely new for $5, maybe even the same price if I was lucky.

Then, the toys.  I was undecided on them since I already have some, and I really only want the bodies.  I decided to get them for the wigs, since I can use those for other dolls.  It was full price though..I would have been way happier paying $2 for that lot.

Then I saw that $2 bag, and I decided to get that one too!  She was just too pretty to pass up, and I liked her outfit too.  It came with some other dolls, but I didn't want them.

Also went to Sephora to get my obligatory perfume samples.

Liv dolls - First edition Katie and Spa Sophie:  $2.99 @ Value Village

Found these while on my quest for used monster high dolls (the quest still remains!).  I've seen these dolls nude and reasonably priced before ($2 each, sometimes $4, which I don't consider reasonable), but I was never tempted to pick them up.

I do think they're pretty enough, but they're kind of boring looking.  It's interesting that they have acrylic eyes, but I didn't like them enough to pick up until now.

The reason I did was because I noticed how articulated their bodies were - they're almost as good as obitsus, which cost around $20 each!  Everything is just as good below the waist, but the elbows don't have as much movement.

But for $1.50 each, I can't complain!  I thought I'd just steal their bodies if their faces didn't grow on me.

The blonde one actually has colour changing hair and makeup!  I love gimmicks like that.  She's actually still in stores right now!

Turns out they have wigs too, which are actually pretty nice quality.  I think the other ones I saw were bald.  

All in all they were really worth it, I'm glad I found them!  They're being discontinued, which is kind of sad.  I feel like they're wayyyy better than a lot of dolls on the market.
