I spent way more than I wanted to...I never thought I'd spend nearly $100 all on one go here!  But all of the sales items were an extra half off, and there were so many things I wanted.

I did pay more than I usually would.  I don't like paying more than $5 from anything from these fast fashion stores, and I don't like paying over $3 for skirts either.  But since the pictures made them look so good, I decided to pay a little extra.  

For the sequined stuff, I was fine with paying those prices...they're worth it!  They'd be way more anywhere else.

Annoyingly, I missed out on the dress that I really wanted!  It was in my cart, but it sold out before checkout.  I didn't want to make multiple orders, but now I really wish I did.  I'm sure I would have gotten it if I didn't spend so much time finding reviews on each item.  Oh well, next time I'll know...

A lot of these are just as gorgeous in person, but the sizing is really hit or miss.  A lot are too small, some are too big, and only some fit just right.  It's pretty disappointing..especially since everything was final sale.

I really made the order for the sequined things.  First I saw them online, and thought they were gorgeous...then I saw them in person, and I wanted them even more!  So when things were finally half off, I couldn't help but go overboard.

Even though I spent a lot, I wish I bought more things.  Like that lace mini skirt in blue...I didn't because I already ordered so many blue skirts, but that one was such great quality!  I was surprised for the price.

I also wish I bought the full lace bodycon dresses...they were made from the same material as the skirts, so I know they would have been a good buy too.

Can't wait for the next one!

I'm pretty much done with those big flower necklaces.  I have just about all of the colours available now!  They are quite pretty, but I'd only wear them in the spring or summer.

I already have too many corsets, but these were too cheap to resist.  

Same with the clutches...I prefer the knuckle style ones, but thought these were worth checking out at this price.

I really wish I hadn't, because I ended up winning a bunch for half the price!  Still, $6 including shipping is a decent price for them.

Deletta - Pink chiffon accent top:  $4 (RSP:  $50+ (5 days)
Grey ruched rosette shirt:  $4 (5 days)


(Just a better picture of the above, you really can't see the details on the grey top in the other one!)


Zara women - NWT Button up silk shirt:  $5 (RSP: $55) (3 days)
Banana republic - Dark khaki silk top:  $3 (9 days)

All @ Talize

The knits ones were more than I wanted to pay, but since I liked the designs so much I bought them.  I really wish I knew who made the grey one, it's great quality!  The inside looks the same as the outside.  It was made in the US, so I know it wasn't a super cheap brand.

I wasn't sure about the other one.  I really love the top part (especially the crossed over pleats and ruffles), but the bottom part wasn't very fitted.  I figured it would look amazing if I covered the bottom half.

In both cases, I haven't seen these designs around, so I didn't want to miss out on them.  I liked them that much!

I probably wouldn't have bought the Zara shirt if it wasn't new with tags.  I'm surprised the retail price wasn't that high!  It's not the best silk I've felt.

The Banana republic shirt looks pretty plain, but it,s fitted in such a nice way.  The colour is interesting too, so I think it was worth the $3.

This is the first time I've spent almost $100 at any thrift store, but I couldn't help it!  I already put back a lot of stuff, and I had to get back home for something.  I still might return some things, I'll decide after trying them on again.

Parisian collection - Apricot rosette dress with chiffon skirt (RSP:  $26)
Parisian collection - Beige chiffon dress with floral embroidered top (RSP:  $24)


QED london - Sleeveless button up lace top with camisole (RSP:  $20)

$20 for everything @ Sirens

I almost didn't bother to go in since they haven't had any good items in a while.  I'm glad I did!  The dresses were must haves, and the price was decent.

But....when I tried them on, they didn't look as nice as I thought they would.  I might end up returning them.  They're somewhat similar, but the shades, style. and floral patterns are different.

Too bad, they look so pretty on the rack!  I've never seen that brand sold at Sirens before (well, or anywhere else for that matter).  Whenever they have brands other than Seductions, the quality is usually a little better.

The rosette one is a lot better than the other one though.  It has a zipper, whereas the other one is elasticized at the back.  That one's more fitted in the front though, it's a trade off!  

At least I'm happy with the top.  I love how flowy the bottom is, and how it's practically long enough to be a dress.

Plus, I just love lace!  They actually had a ton of similar shirts like this, all for $5 each.  It was hard to decide on one.

The other ones were pastel colours like aqua and peach, which really isn't me most of the time.  Sure, maybe I'll feel the mood to wear them once in a while, but white is always a sure bet!

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.

Gold spike bra:  $8.82 $2.82 (Highest:  $26)
White leopard collar necklace:  $2.26 (Highest:  $9.50)
Champagne crystal necklace:  $2.25 (Highest:  $7.55)
Black rosette padded corset:  $8.50 (Highest:  $20.76)

All off eBay.

I was really excited about that bra, but stupidly, it's too small for me.  I was actually worried about it being too big!  I even sized up just in case!

They had a chart and I followed it, so I don't see why the bra doesn't fit...unless they sent me the wrong one, or the chart was off.  I mean, come on!  Just look at how it compares to bras that actually fit me:


I'm pretty unhappy about it.  There's no way it's the size that's listed!  Does that look like a 38C to you?  I really hope they'll give me a full refund, there's no way to make it work.  

The corset on the other hand, is gorgeous!  That was worth the eight bucks, unlike the bra.

The bra was a BIN...I really wanted it so I decided to buy it once it went on sale.  I'm still looking for some that fit me, I guess I better stick to looking locally!

*edit*

The seller gave me $6 back...well, that's better than nothing.

Well, it was a record season for package losses this year!  I'll make sure I don't buy anything important around Christmas next year.  I think I lost around 10 of them..

Coral rosette necklace w/gold filigree detailing:  $1.04 (Highest:  $3.25)

Both off eBay.

I'm pretty happy with both of them, but I do already have similar items.  I guess it's time to curb my spending, especially since I might be moving soon!

All off eBay.

I was really surprised that the butterfly necklace showed up - it never arrived and the seller said they would resend it.  

By that time, it's too late to leave feedback, so I've had a lot of no shows in that situation.  I'm glad this one was honest!  The necklace is gorgeous.

I really love the first belt, but I'm pretty meh about everything else.  Things are definitely winding down, I think I've won most of what I wanted on ebay at this point.

I was so excited about the very first necklace, but it came to me broken in half....


Other than that, it just wasn't as good as expected.  Wasn't as big, the colour wasn't as nice...I'm really hoping the seller will refund me.  I've never had a necklace come THAT damaged before!

Update:  The seller is refunding me.  That was so fast!  I'm just going to glue it back together and wear it anyway.

The owl bracelet was disappointing as well.  It's the colour I really wanted so I paid more than usual for it, but it came to me with a bunch of black stains!


They're on the left eye and the left side of the face.  It's really noticeable in person, and I can't get it off.

I asked for a partial refund, but I'd really rather have a new one in perfect condition...the eye isn't place right either!  It's glued to the side, but it's stuck on so hard I can't move it.

Update:  The seller refunded me half my payment.  I'm satisfied with that.

Other than that, I wish I didn't pay so much for the spike bracelet.  It's only plastic, plus all of the other ones were only $1!

At least I REALLY like that leaf collar necklace.  It's so gorgeous in person, and I got it for dirt cheap.  Score!

Sisi intimate - Green rosette detail bra:  $2 (RSP:  $12.99-$24)
Ellen Tracy - Leopard print bra:  $3 (RSP:  $12.99-$32)
Knit tights:  $2 (RSP:  $7.99+)
Sheer tights:  $2 (RSP:  $7.99-$12)

I haven't actually tried any of these on, so I might end up returning them. The first bra is really nice quality and I love the rosette detailing.

As for the second one..I'm just a sucker for leopard print.

The sheer tights resemble pantyhose but are a lot sturdier.  Neither of the tights are that great price-wise, but it's a price I'm willing to pay, plus they're both pretty practical.

Hoping to hit up more Winners tomorrow!

It's a good thing final clearance only comes twice a year - I don't think I could stand the excitement more than that!

I really didn't think things would be cheap this early on, but I'm glad I decided to take a look anyway. Now I'm excited to see what the other ones have in store for me!

Rosette halter dress:  $2.99 (RSP:  $15.99)


White dress:  $2.99 (RSP:  $29.99)
Purple dress:  $2.99 (RSP:  $29.99)

All @ Angela Fashion.

I wish I checked out this location sooner-it's way better than the one I've been going to!

It has a defect rack with insane markdowns, whereas the other one prices them all the same regardless.  I'm definitely going to be popping in on this one from time to time.

I was really unsure about the purple dress, since I'm not too fond of the colour, but decided to get it because of the price.

I'm glad I did, it's gorgeous!  Both of them hang in a pleasing way.

Now I wish I didn't buy so much at the other location.  Some of them did have defects and I paid full price!

I'm just glad I didn't buy the rosette halter.  I was considering it the last time I went but didn't buy it. 

I would have been kicking myself if I did-this one was half the price!  It had a very slight stain in a small area, it took a while for me to find what was wrong with it.

The snakeskin dress needs the zipper resewn at the bottom, which will be an easy fix.  The other dresses have runs but they're so minor I doubt anyone will notice.

Now I wonder what else I've missed out on, I've passed by that store so many times!

Black leatherette jacket:  $9.98 (RSP:  $39.99)


Rosette top:  $6.48 (RSP:  $12.95)

Both @ Stitches.

I really didn't think the rosette top was worth it, but the pearl rosette detailing won me over.

The jacket's the same as the brown one I bought today.  I liked the style and it was such a good price I decided to buy another colour.

The funny thing is, even though this one is a small and the other one is a large, they're practically the same fit!

The pearl watches were so much better than expected.  I just wish I didn't pay as much for the 3-row one, I've seen it go for half the price I paid!
