Eliana leather bag: $33.99 (RSP:  $149)
Platen1 leather bag:  $27.05 (RSP:  $149)
Desperes leather crossbody:  $18.45 (RSP:  $99)
Ellis leather bag in black:  $26.99 (RSP:  $125)
Ellis leather bag in brown:  $22.74 (RSP:  $125)

All @ Naturalizer

They had some great sales, so I couldn't resist!  The first two bags I ordered were the Eliana and the black Ellis.  I'm annoyed that I forgot to use ebates..I could have gotten an extra 8% off!

I actually should have waited for the next sale.  That one was only $10 off each one, whereas the next one was an extra 25% off, plus an extra 10% off top!

The 10% off wasn't applied, so I have to contact them about that....but that time I remembered to go through ebates, so I'm happy about that.

If I bought the first two later on, I could have saved $11!  Totally wish I did that, but I wasn't going to order again and return the others.

The black Ellis was described as being in "black croco," which totally didn't make any sense to me.  Then I found this picture later on:


That would have been so much nicer!

Bunny correction tape:  $2.99
Puppy pencil sharpener:  $1.99

Both @ T&T

I've never seen them sell stationery before.  These were so cute, I couldn't resist!  They were a bit overpriced, but I couldn't find them cheaper online at the time.

Later on I found out that I could have gotten the bunny for about half the price!  Before then I had only seen it for around $5 on ebay.  

They would have been random though...I would have really preferred the pink one:


The white one looks pretty good too.  They only had the yellow and blue ones at that store, but I'll see if the other ones have more stock.

They also had these correction tapes for the same price:


I was pretty tempted by the pig, but the bunny was way cuter.  I love how they can all stand, so they're really like little figures.  Hopefully they'll go on sale, then I'll buy more!

Christmas gifts this year:


Love that box!  I actually picked it out...it was $14.99 at Marshalls, which seemed completely reasonable.  It was even regular price!  They're way more online.

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!

"Paint the town pink" trinket box:  $9.60 @ Michaels (RSP:  $23.99)

Their regular price is such a ripoff!  This was 60% off, which is only 10% more than the half off deal you can get anytime.

I thought it might get to 70% soon, but I liked it so much I had to get it.  I haven't seen this anywhere else, and I thought the price was alright.

If I find more I might pick them up.  They had a lot of neat stuff in their "gifts for her" section, including this floating glitter frame!  I hope that'll still be around when the price goes lower.  They also had some really nice glass trays I might want to get.

Also got a pretty gift from my friend:


Love that pink zebra box!

Christmas ornaments:  $1.25 each @ Dollarama

They're pretty reasonably priced for how many there are.  So excited to decorate my tree!  The tiny ones (30 in a pack) are for my miniature pink tree.

I was hoping to find more chrome stars, but sadly,  there were no more!  I checked three of them already.  I'll probably check a few more, but I'm not going to hold my breath.


Ceramic bird top glass canisters:  $3.50 each @ Dollarama

They also had ones with stars at the top, but I love birds much more.  They only had these at one store so far, so I'm happy I managed to get them.  They don't show the volume, but they can hold a lot!

I ended up getting one of each colour.   I thought it would look a bit boring to have all of them the same colour.  There was only one blue one left, but there were 2 pink ones and 3 white ones.

I considered getting another pink one, but now I think that would look unbalanced.  Maybe if I find some in different sizes..

Heart ornaments:  $1.50 each
Jessica Flick thermoses:  $4 each (RSP:  ~$15)
Glittery bird ornaments:  $1.25

All @ Dollarama

I was looking for more ornaments.  I really wanted more red hearts, so thankfully I managed to find some.

They had these pretty Thermos brand thermoses there, I just couldn't resist!  I usually see them for around $20 so this felt like a steal.
