Seductions - Red\black studded shoulder peplum dress:  $8 (RSP:  $26)
Seductions - Khaki\black studded shoulder peplum dress:  $8 (RSP:  $26)

Blue peplum bustier top:  $4 (RSP:  $19)
Garnier body - Intensive 7 day mango oil lotion:  $.96 (RSP:  $7.99)

All @ Sirens

Except the lotion..that was from Superstore.  I had a free coupon which was supposed to cover the tax, but stupidly, the regular price was so high it wasn't covered.

Anyhow, I haven't been to this Sirens in a while so I was excited to see what was there.  I printed out the coupon just in case, even though it would be wasted if there was nothing there (it was the last day afterall).

Well, I wasn't disappointed!  I snatched up those dresses right away.  I love this whole stud trend, and those dresses are still regular price at all of the other stores I've been to.

I love the top too.  There was one in black and silver that I was considering, but I wasn't too crazy about it.  This combination was a must have though, and I wanted to get the most bang for my buck with the coupon.   Maybe I'll get the other top at another time if there's something else I want.

Upon further inspection, the khaki dress is really crappily made...I don't know how it passed inspection.  The back isn't even (the collar starts higher on one side) and the seams are sloppy!  It was the only one left though, and the flaws aren't noticeable on, so I bought it anyway.

Valia - Shirred military shorts:  $4 each (RSP:  $17 each)
Seduction - Gold studded black strapless dress:  $6 (RSP:  $25)

All @ Sirens

I'm so glad I printed out that coupon.  I really didn't think I'd use it, but here we are!

The shorts are the same as the one I got from Urban Behavior a long time ago, and I paid almost twice the price for those ones! 

The studded dress scanned in at $10, but I got it for $7 since I found one that was still marked that price.  Score!

Shockingly, none of these were made in China!  The shorts were made in Canada, while the dress was made in the US.  I'm surprised they were able to sell them so cheap.

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.

Barbie - NRFB Fiat car and doll set (2009):  $8.30 @ Value Village (RSP:  $50)

It's finally time to use my $5 off coupons!  I really wish I bought more gift certificates, I already used two of them today.  They don't expire, and I'm sure I could have found something great with those other coupons.  Oh well, next time.

I'm just a sucker for detailed cars, and this one was pretty neat!  I thought the price was kind of high, but then I noticed there was a doll inside.

Not that I want to keep it, but that justified the price a bit.

Details of the box since I'll be throwing it away shortly:

Too bad they didn't splurge on her outfit.  It is pretty crappy.  Hooray for opening doors though, a lot of them don't have them anymore!

Funnily enough, I've seen them sell on eBay used for more than what I paid for this set new! 
I'm pretty happy today.

Coral red zippered skirt
Brown zippered skirt

$2 each @ Bluenotes (RSP:  $6 each)

You can't really see it in the photo, but these are ribbed.  Just can't say no to cheap skirts that have some sort of design on them.

I did pass by two of them, since they were similar colours to ones I already bought.

The $3 ones I bought from Sirens are way better quality, these ones are a bit flimsy.  I definitely wouldn't have paid more than $2 each for them.  I can't believe their regular price was so low!

18K Gold plated crystal spider cuff bracelet:  $2.26 (Highest:  $8.50)

I have this in black too.  I prefer this one.  

It's odd only getting one ebay item from the mail!  These last few weeks have really spoiled me :P.

18K Gold plated crystal dual lizard bracelet:  $2.25 (Highest:  $11.87)
Huge smokey gold cuff bracelet:  $1.41 (BIN:  $7.72)
Big white acrylic gem stretch bracelet:  $1.04

Gold plated necklace w/milky gem center:  $2.25 (BIN:  $4.92)
Gold plated choker:  $1.81 (Highest:  $5.55)
Gold plated multi bar necklace:  $1.83 (BIN:  $7.01)

All off eBay.

I'm really happy with the acrylic bracelet.  It's gorgeous!  I actually have one in black coming from the same seller, but I paid more than twice the price for that one.  Stupidly, it ended with no bids last week!  Don't know how I missed that.

The smokey gold cuff was surprisingly big.  It's way better than expected.

Orsi - Brown and white blazer:  $4.90
Shiny gold metal fish scale belt:  $2.80

Both @ Value Village

My 30% off pass was expiring soon, so I wanted to use it today.  I could have used it next week too, but there was no point since I had those $5 coupons to used...and those would be way better deals.

I didn't go to this location during the 50% off sale, so I wanted to check this one out.  I'm glad I did!

I really like how classy this blazer is.  It's fitted in all of the right places, and it's made in Italy.  Somebody said it looked really great on me when I tried it on!

I'm happy about the belt too.  I've been trying to buy a similar belt on ebay, but it was around $4.50.  I didn't want to pay it!  I still want it, but at least I have this in the meanwhile.

Novi stars - Energy pod playset:  $29.99 (RSP:  $49.99) @ Toys R us

I've been tempted by these dolls, but they're so expensive!  I love the whole alien concept though.  They all have such neat features, but I didn't want to pay $15-$25 each for them.

I saw that this playset was on sale yesterday, but I somehow resisted buying it.  Then I saw it in action on youtube, and I just had to have it!

The pod lights up and the doll spins around like it's floating...I love stuff like that!  It's one of the neatest ideas I've ever seen.

I was miffed that it was only $11.70 on amazon (with free shipping too!!), but there's no way I'm able to get it that cheap.

I thought $30 was reasonable.  It was the most I wanted to pay.  I really wanted it so I thought I deserved new toys once in a while.

I do want two out of the four dolls, but I'm waiting until they're $10 or less.  I really think they'll be discontinued soon, I'd be surprised if they weren't!

Snakeskin cropped bustier (RSP:  $19)

Dark brown snakeskin cropped bustier (RSP:  $19)

Zebra print peplum top (RSP:  $19)

White ruched bustier top (RSP:  $16)

Sparkly coral bustier top (RSP:  $16)

$4 each @ Sirens

I love their $5 off coupon!  That's one of the reasons I'm hesitant to buy this brand used...I can get it new for the same price a lot of the time.

I really wasn't expecting much.  This location rarely has good sales, so I was surprised to find so many tops I wanted for reasonable prices.

I only wanted 3 of the tops, but I decided to add two more in since it'd be only $5 more.  The top two are my favourites.

*edit*

It turns out the zebra top was only $2.50 at another Sirens!  I  was pretty annoyed about that.

Well, they didn't have my size, plus everything else I bought in this post was twice the price, so that made me feel way better :P.

Dancing solar elephant:  $1.25 @ Dollar tree
Christmas reusable bag:  free

I didn't know we had dollar trees here!  I knew dollar giant was owned by the same company, so I thought it would be pretty similar.

Well, it was.  There wasn't anything I really wanted, except this little guy:

I love elephants!  He was just too cute to pass up.  Seeing an open one in action clinched it.  I found the bag in a parking lot.

 

Vivitar - 4 x 30 binoculars:  $3 (RSP:  $8.99 +)
Lil' Bratz - Beach bash water cruiser:  $2 (RSP:  $10+)

Both @ Dollarama

These were both impulse buys.  I was really surprised to see the lil bratz playset, considering the line was discontinued 6 years ago!

It doesn't do that much, but since it was $2, I thought why not.  I've got some of their other playsets and the quality is pretty nice.

I don't need binoculars, but I've heard of the brand before so I thought it was a good deal.  I saw an open package and it looked pretty nice, it even came with a pouch!

Too bad it has horrible reviews online.  I thought it was nice enough.  I guess I should start researching these things before I buy them, I suppose most things end up there since they're junk.

Seductions - Teal zippered skirt:  $3 (RSP:  $10)

Seductions - Mauve zippered skirt:  $3 (RSP:  $10)

$3 each @ Sirens

They're actually both the same design, the top one shows the back of it.  I really liked the design at the front and I thought the quality was decent.

There were some other ones that were way flimsier...didn't have zippers and were thinner.  I thought these ones were worth it, even though all of them retailed for around $10.

I've gotten way better skirts at Winners for the same price or less, but I hardly see these colours around so I bought them.  I don't have any skirts this colour, otherwise I would have left them.  Can't wait for Winners final clearance!

Chef basket deluxe (RSP:  $16.99)
One touch - Instant marinator (RSP:  $19.99)

$2 each @ Dollarama

I can't say no to cheap kitchen gadgets that seem useful, especially at that price!  That's why I love Dollarama.

These were gifts though.  I hope they're actually useful.  The basket seems like it would be, but I'm not so sure about the marinator.

Studded gold hollow collar necklace:  $2.25 (BIN:  $9.50)
18K gold plated black crystal spider cuff bracelet:  $2.26 (Highest:  $10.65)

Wowee, I didn`t expect a day like this anytime soon!  I hope my mailman doesn`t hate me.

My favourite of this lot is the heart cuff..I love it!  It`s stretchy, but just enough so that it stays on firmly (without squeezing me to death).  Everything is the right proportion, it`s just so great!  I have another one in white coming to me shortly.

Unbelievably, BOTH of the spiked collar necklace arrive broken!  I ended up with two accidentally, and ironically, now I`ll have none!  

I hope the seller doesn`t think I`m a scammer.

Loacker gadget set:  Hat, freezer bag, reusable bag, and a bag of wafers:  free

I entered their contest and won!  It was a nice surprise.  I love their wafers, they're the best!  I like how they only use natural ingredients, you can really taste it.

Monster high lot of 11 dolls:  $75 (free after selling some stuff from the other lot) for everything (RSP:  Nearly $300!)

From left to right:

Toralei Stripe (yay!)
Dead Tired Lagoona Blue doll with Hydration Station
Sweet 1600 Clawd Wolf
Nefera
Gloom Beach Cleo
Gloom Beach Clawdeen
Gloom Beach Frankie
Gloom Beach Draculaura
Gloom Beach Ghoulia
Skull Shores Abbey
Basic Operetta
Draculaura's Sweet 1600 Roadster

It also came with this "scream team beauty locker" I forgot to put in the picture:

It's cute, but it's in pretty beat up condition.  It's already ripping at the top.  I wouldn't have wanted it otherwise, but now I use it to store my extra accessories.

I can't believe that retailed for $35!  There's still some stuff in there, but I don't know if I'd want to risk putting it on.

I think I'm burned out for a while.  Opportunities just kept on coming up, I couldn't say no!  I really wanted the hydration station since it doubles as a bubble lamp.  It's so cool on!

I also wanted Toralei, who normally goes for at least $60 loose.  Also Clawd, who's still selling for $34 plus tax at the lowest right now!

It was more than I wanted to pay, but I thought it was worth it.  I can't sell anything to make some money back, but I've wanted a lot of these for a while.

They're not complete though, too bad!  Almost all of them are missing their earrings for some reason, and some other little parts are missing.  Still, everything's mostly there, so it was a decent deal.

I thought the roadster was cool, but I wouldn't buy it alone. I'm glad I managed to get it in this lot though.

It's surprisingly cheap!  The plastic is so light and nothing works.  I wish it was better quality.

Maybe I'll luck out with a Gil in the next lot?  Here's hoping!

Turquoise wooden oxhead necklace:  $2.66 (BIN:  $4.93)

All off eBay.

It was a banner day for cuffs!  I love all of the ones in this post...the crystal one in particular is gorgeous.  I was willing to pay a bit more for both of them, I'm just glad they're finally mine!

Too bad the cameo one fell apart once I put it on.  I don't want to buy another one since that one might do the same, so I hope I can fix this one.

Emporio Armani - tweed blazer:  $4 (RSP:  $700+!)
White lace high collar shirt w/pearl detailing:  $2

Both @ Value Village.

I wanted to go to a third one, but I wasted way too much time here.  Even though it was probably twice as big as the first one, the stuff didn't seem that great.

I wasn't that crazy about the blazer, but I couldn't pass up $4 Armani!  This is the real line made in Italy...I really don't like the colour that much, but I bought it anyway.

I like the design, and I don't have any other blazers in this colour.  But the main thing was the label, I'll admit!

The other shirt looked good, but I wasn't sure if it would work.  I didn't want to try it on in the dressing room.  Since it was cheap enough, I decided to give it a shot.

I'm glad I did!  It's actually really gorgeous on.  I love the pearl buttons at the neckline.  I just wonder who made it, the tags were cut off.

This one had such a huge line up!  There were two more things I was going to buy, but I ended up passing on them for various reasons:

Now I wish I bought that corset!  It was new with tags and everything...but I thought it was too big.  Looking at the picture, I feel like that was crazy!  It was $5, and I was thinking that I could probably get it for that price new...and get the size that I actually needed.

But it was la senza, I'm pretty sure they don't normally go that low.  Oh well, live and learn!

Moccliy  (?) - Black leather messenger bag:  $3.50 @ Value Village
Ruth E. Saltz - Brown leather bag w/gold cougar head:  $4.99 @ Salvation Army

I got the black purse the same time as the grey suit.  I can't find anything about the designer so I don't know if that's what the name actually is, it's really hard to make out.

It seems to be made in Firenze Italy, and the leather is so soft!  But what really got me was the crest.  I had to get it!

I remember seeing a didier lamarthe bag with a gorgeous crest...on the inside.  What's the point of that?  Plus, that one was $14, so it was pretty easy to leave behind.  The crest was a lot bigger though (almost covered the entire flat), too bad this one wasn't the same.

The other bag is so neat.  I don't normally like flat ones, but the gold cougar head is so neat! 

 
It's actually a knob, there's a plain one on the other side too.  The bag actually opens up crosswise, I only have one other bag like this.

The leather is also really great quality, so I was sold on it.

I spent a long time trying to find something else so I could use a coupon, but in the end I just payed full price.

Fontana Milano - Grey ruffled suit w/zipper detailing:  $7.50 @ Value Village

It was half off day again!  When I saw this blazer I loved the design, and the fit was so flattering.  It really nips you at the waist, yet it's the right size everywhere else.

Anyway, there's one stain and some worn spots on the ruffles, so I wasn't sure if I should buy it.  While I was deciding, one of the workers came up and talked about how great she thought it was, so that helped me make up my mind!

She didn't just see me holding it...she actually remembered seeing it on the racks!  That was something, considering how much stuff she has to put away.

It's dry clean only, but it doesn't say what it's made of.  I was hoping to just throw it in the wash, but that would be a bad idea if it was made of wool.

13 Monster high doll lot:

From left to right:

-Gift set Deuce Gorgon

-Gloom Beach Jackson Jekyll

-Holt Hyde (yes!)

-Forbidden love Clawd Wolf

-Forbidden love Draculaura 

-Basic 1st edition Spectra

-Basic 1st edition Abbey

-Gloom Beach Draculaura

-1st Wave Ghoulia
-Gift Set Cleo
-Gloom Beach Clawdeen
-Dawn of the Dance Frankie
 -Frankie's bed
-2 journals (Holt's and Frankie's)

-Fortune

$60 (free after I sold my doubles!) for everything shown in the picture.There was even a Barbie and some Bratz stuff, including a My Scene Masquerade Madness car.

I really didn't think I would get this lot!  Holt alone is worth $100 in this condition, so I thought everyone else would be all over him.

I saw the ad half an hour after it was posted, but it was almost midnight when I saw it.  After a restless night, I finally learned the lot was mine in the morning!

Well, I had to overcome a lot of hurdles before it was actually mine.  I had an hour to get to the seller's house before they went out, otherwise I couldn't pick it up today.

It seemed easy enough, but it was in a city I'm not familiar with...I ended up getting lost!  There, and the way back, probably an hour total!  

I managed to catch them 10 minutes before they left, so thank God for that.  It's a fluke I managed to find it in the first place, thanks a lot google maps!

I'm just glad I managed to make it home..there are a lot of freeways/highways around that area, so I could have been reallly lost.

It came with so many accessories, I was amazed!  All of the pets below:

And all of these clothing/accessories:

All of the outfits were near complete!  I was really surprised, since this lot (unlike the others) was kid owned.  Even most or the earrings were there!

These were the outfits included:

Wave 1 fashion packs:

-Frankie Stein (Fearleading)
-Clawdeen Wolf (Soccer)
-Deuce Gorgon (Casketball)
-Lagoona Blue (Surfing)

Plus Abbey's wave 2 snowboarding fashion pack.

It took a while to put everyone back in their outfit, but it was worth it.  This is definitely the best deal I've gotten in person...after I sell my doubles, everything will have been free!  

This stuff would have cost me $400 new, and I'm pretty sure it'd be around that price used as well, since the boys are worth a lot now.

14K gold plated floral necklace w/orange center:  $2.25 (Highest:  $4.50)

All off eBay.

I love the silver bracelet!  It actually has a shiny finish, which is what I prefer.  It looked completely matte in the pictures.

18K gold plated "J. crew" pink bubble bib necklace:  $1.36 (BIN:  $10+)
14K Gold plated necklace w/cream center:  $1.75 (Highest:  $3.80)

Brown stone belt:  $2.24 (BIN:  $7.99)

All off eBay.

I don't know why I went nuts buying those gold plated necklaces.  The first one really was enough.  Maybe I'll paint one of the other ones and give the other away.

I'm really happy about the cuff though, it's perfect!  Great quality and looks amazing, even though it seems simple enough in pictures.

I got a refund for the bubble necklace because there was a really noticeable bead missing..

I stupidly didn't read the description for the peacock clip.  I thought it would be huge, but it ended up being so tiny it's useless!

I did have half of these dolls, but I figured I could sell the doubles, making the ones I actually want free!

Here's hoping anyway.  I've posted them everywhere for reasonable eBay prices, but I might just have to resort to eBay to sell them.

These were a craigslist purchase.  I'm surprised things went ahead so fast..I contacted them less than twelve hours ago!

It felt just like Christmas!  Some of them took a long while to win, primarily everything in the first row.

Rene Rafe - Red w/black lace super push up bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $20)

Marilyn Monroe intimates - Lilac super push up bra:  $3 (RSP:  $9.99 - $36)

Both @ Winners.

This location had cheap bras the last time I went, so I was hoping they would this time too.  I wasn't disappointed!

They had a ton of new ones that I don't remember seeing before, so it looks like the low prices weren't a fluke.  I've looked at two other locations, and those ones were only $5 at their lowest!

I didn't try them on, but luckily both of them fit great.  Hooray!  I hope they have more next time.

18K gold plated red "J.Crew" bubble bib necklace:  $2.62 (Highest:  $15+)

18K gold plated white "J.Crew" bubble bib necklace:  $2.52 (Highest:  $15+)

Both off eBay.

I'm a bit disappointed.  I expected them to be exactly the same as the black one I bought before, but they're not.

The other one was faceted, while these ones are completely smooth.

The other also had a J.Crew tag, but it was probably still a knockoff.  It was much higher quality though.

These necklaces are nice, I just wish they were the same as the other one!  

I do have 4 more coming from this seller though, and I got those ones for really great prices.

Zebra collar necklace:  $1.99 on eBay (Highest:  $8.54)

Plus some random samples and a heart and stroke lottery calendar.  I don't even remember requesting these samples, but it's nice that they're a good size.

Gold plated rectangles necklace:  $1.57 (Highest:  $5.50)
Gold plated collar necklace w/white droplets:  $2.25 (Highest:  $10.50)

Gold rhinestone encrusted snake bracelet:  $1.54 (Highest:  $8.40)

I've been trying to win that first necklace for over a year!  I finally found a $2 buy it now randomly, when I was looking at past auctions for unrelated things.

It's gorgeous!  I'm glad I happened to find it.  The title was odd and random, I would have never found it otherwise.

I'm also happy about the snake bracelet.  It's so gorgeous and classy, and I managed to get it for way less than it's going price as well.

The huge dangly necklace was a big surprise.  I wasn't sure which way it would go, but it's gorgeous in person!  I'm really glad I got it, I don't have anything similar and it was a great price.

All @ Value Village.

I never thought I'd ever spend this much on a regular price day at Value Village.  I'm really kicking myself for not checking the blazer section yesterday, I'm sure these were all there!

I could have saved myself $10!  Full price for these really isn't a deal at all, but I loved the designs so much I bought them anyway.

First picture was a no brainer.  The first one too my breath away!  I've never seen anything like that before..it's like a bustier built into a blazer.  You can see the details better in this picture:

It's a bit too small for me, but I thought I could either take it out or just wear it open.  I thought it was so unique, I just had to have it!

It being made in Paris helped some.  I reasoned that it probably retailed for an insanely high price, so that made it easier to swallow.  I couldn't find prices of their blazers, but some of their dresses retailed for nearly $2,000!

The other black one seemed Egyptian inspired.  I loved it!  I thought it was bold and stylish.  I might take it in a little to make it more fitted.

I actually really loved the beige one, i thought it was so flattering and it actually seemed current.  The only thing was, it wasn't in great condition..there was some pilling, and the material wasn't that great.

I really liked how it looked on me, so I bought it anyway:

The only one I'm undecided on is the navy blazer.  The buttons are great, and it looks like new...the fit isn't that flattering though.  It's like the above, except not fitted.  I don't know if it was worth $8, I might return it.

70's Super size Barbie (RP:  $4.99 - $9.99)
Frederick's of Hollywood - White lace zip up bustier (RP:  $3.99) (RSP:  $60+)
Noi - Tan sleeveless top w/knotted collar (RP:  $2.99)

All for $8.98 @ Salvation Army.

I felt lame coming back here again just a day after.  I decided I really wanted that Barbie, so I thought I could find something else to make it worthwhile.

The corset has some stains in it, I hope they'll come out.  I liked the design and it's a good brand, plus it's a reasonable price after the coupon.

The tank is really flattering and I don't have any necklines like that one.  $3 each was about what I wanted to pay, I didn't really want to pay regular price for any of them.

Pearlescent cream leather half circle purse (RP:  $3.99)
Luvshoe's - Gold sandals with clear gradient colour heels: (RP:  $7.99) (RSP:  $75+)

Both for $7.98 @ Salvation Army.

Since I wanted to go to that other Value Village, I decided to come here too.  I did have a coupon afterall.

Well, it was love at first sight when I saw that purse!  I love everything about it...from the colour of the level, to the shape of the purse, to the lock closure!

It actually took me a long time to figure out how to open it.  I felt like I tried everything, and it just wouldn't budge!

Well, it turns out you have to turn it...I erroneously thought you'd have to push it in/up/to the side/or what have you.

Since I had the coupon, I wanted to see if there was anything else I wanted.  I really thought about getting these shoes:

They were cute, comfortable, and they  matched that purse!  They were also made by the same company that made these other shoes I was lusting after...

They were priced at $4.99.  If I came a few days ago, I could have gotten it half price...so I really didn't think it was worth it.  There were some scuffs, which would have been fine for two something...but not for that price.

I'm really kicking myself for not going earlier, since there were a lot of things I would have liked to get that would have been an awesome deal with the coupon.

Anyway, I ended up getting the gold sandals above.  They looked like they were worn maybe once or twice, and only on the soles...there were no signs of use anywhere else!

I almost put them back since they were hard to walk in...I felt like I might topple over at any time, they were so wobbly!

But since I thought the heels were so awesome, I decided to get them.  They're so neat!  They're clear lucite with a gradient colour throughout...it starts with a coke like colour and fades to clear.

Plus, there's even a hole in the middle!  They were just too cool to pass up.  $4 seemed worth it for them, no tax either!
