Urban Behavior leather collection - tan leather jacket:  $9.99 (RSP:  $100+)
Round quilted gold chain snakeskin purse:  $6.99
Talbots - Periwinkle blue leather purse:  $8.99 (RSP:  $60+)

All @ Value Village.

I hate this location!  They always charge so much.  There was another snakeskin clutch I was considering, but I'll only buy it if it's around on half off day.

The other purses were way more than I wanted to pay, but I just couldn't leave them behind.

Recently, I've really wanted to find a quilted snakeskin purse!  So I just couldn't pass it up once I finally found one.


It's really small, but it's such great quality.  The rest of the purse is made out of a nice leather, including the lining.  I would have preferred to pay $5 or less though, considering the size.

Looking around the net, similar quilted purses of that size go for at least $100 new, so I guess it wasn't so bad overall.

The Talbots one is very similar to the Ann Taylor one I bought a while back!  That one was cheaper, and actually a little bigger than this one.

Other than that, the design is practically the same, down to the compartments on the inside!  I'm convinced they were made at the same factory.

$9 was kind of a ripoff, but I bought it because I really liked the colour, and it looked completely unused.  It's rare to find a leather purse that shade...and it's perfect for spring!

The coat was a huge surprise.  I didn't find anything wrong with it, so I have no idea why it was priced so low!

I actually considered waiting until it was half price, but I'm glad I came to my senses.  All of my other Urban Behavior leather were this price or more at half off!

It's actually the same design as the black one I have...that one cost more than this one, and it was 30% off when I got it!

Urban Behavior leather collection - Beige rabbit fur and leather coat:  $12.50
Etienne Aigner - Multicolour leather purse:  $5
Givenchy - Canvas/leather trim purse:  $4.50 (RSP:  $1000!)


Liz Olemberg - Black leather shoes w/sculptured gold heels:  $4

All @ Value Village.

I'm so glad I went to this location!  I was considering skipping it since I haven't found anything that interesting there in a while...boy, was I surprised today!

First off, the leather coat - it's gorgeous!  It's everything I want in a leather coat...fitted, stylish, and reasonably priced.  Bonus points for the rabbit fur and being in like new condition!

I picked up the purses because I thought they were worth something, but sadly, they have no resale value.  I was duped by a fendi!  It sure looked convincing but there were some tells.  It'll be going back shortly, possibly with the Givenchy since that one keeps on flaking off everywhere!


The purse probably retailed for around $1000, judging by what they charge for purses now.  Which is crazy, since the quality isn't anything special...it isn't even lined inside!

The shoes are one of my favourite finds in a long while.  Those heels are crazy!  I'm a sucker for chrome gold paint in the first place, but I'm also fond of unique shoes.  

The cut out heels are different, but not too out there.  I'm not a fan of ones that go in weird directions and no longer look like proper heels.

Best of all, these shoes are actually comfortable!  But I don't know if I would ever wear them out, they do look a little odd on!

The knockoff fendi - it does look pretty close to the original on the outside:


Actually, I think it'd be a really convincing fake if the handles were leather!

Joe Fresh - babydoll trench coat:  $4.90 (RSP:  $59+)


Urban Behaviour - leather collection - biker jacket:  $10.50

Both @ Value Village.

I'm pretty happy with both of these!  Ever since I found the pink one, I've been hoping to find more Urban Behaviour leathers - the fit and style are just awesome!

I'm surprised this wasn't overpriced...it was the cheapest jacket on the wrack, and by far the best looking one!

Another surprise was the Joe Fresh trench.  I never thought to look there because the styles weren't that impressive and I assumed the quality was just average...as for pricing, I can get better stuff at Winners.

Anyhow, I thought it was vintage upon first feel!  The style certainly looks that way.  It's 100% cotton and surprisingly good quality.

It's from their 2008 Spring collection - I found a picture of a model sporting it:


I also came across one of their dresses...which was great quality as well.  I'm going to have to start paying attention the next time I go grocery shopping!

Urban behavior - leather collection - pink leather jacket:  $9.99 @ Talize

This is the coat I came here for! I saw it the last two times I came in but didn't really want to pay $20.  If it was another colour I probably would have been really tempted.

Pink is my favourite colour (especially light pinks like this one), but I'm not too fond of wearing it.

Plus, it's so tight! Though the times I wore it before, I was wearing thick sweaters.

When I first rushed in the door this coat wasn't anywhere in sight...I was so disappointed! But luckily, I saw it seconds later further down the rack.

I'm really glad I managed to pick this up because it's gorgeous! I love the design and the colour is mute enough to not look garish.  It looks like a near copy of this Mackage jacket.

I'm so happy I managed to snag it.
