Pink unicorn clutch:  $4.25 (Highest:  $20+)


ASOS Filigree gold and silver leaf ear cuffs:  $.99 (for the pair) (RSP:  $15.69 each)

All off eBay.

I normally go for thing that are sophisticated, but I couldn't resist that unicorn clutch!  It was just so cute and fun.

It was also kind of an impulse buy...I didn't expect to win for that low!  Well, I thought it was low at the time, but someone won one for $2.75 after that. 

I've seen them sold for $30+ in stores!  I really don't understand why.  If they just looked around, they could get it for half that price or less.  I've seen some crazy people asking for $60....I could get every colour for less than that on ebay!

I don't know if I'll use this one out.  I thought I might just use it to hold stuff around my room.  If I dress too young I'm going to look like a teenager, and I don't want that.

To my surprise though, the black version actually does look pretty fashionable!  I'd have no problem wearing that one out, but the fantasy ones don't really work in my opinion.  These are all of the colours: 

I also won a red one for the same price, and I'm a bit unsure about how good that one looks.  Black would be a no-brainer, since it's such a muted colour.  Well, I guess I'll see when I get there!

Blue gem jewelry set:  $2.02 (BIN:  $11.43)

Black gem ring:  $1.06
Armor ring:  $1.29
Gold ring:  $.99

All off eBay.

That first one took a while...I wasn't sure if it was going to come!  I'm glad it did, because I don't know if I could win it for that low again.  That was a pretty lucky fluke!

It's a J.Crew dupe.  They have other colours too, so hopefully I'll take them home as well!

The blue jewelry set was a great deal.  It comes with a necklace, a bracelet, earrings, and even a ring!  It would have been a great price for the necklace alone.

The earrings are clip ons too, which is surprising.  I'm glad, since that's what I need!

All off eBay.

And all in the same day!  I wish things were spread out evenly, it would be a lot easier to keep track of.

Anyway, a lot of dupes in this round.  I think the Zara ones might even technically be the same thing, because they are made in China as well. 

Here's a photo of the official ones:



They really look exactly the same to me...except mine were around 5% of the retail price!

I'm really happy about the first one -- it took so long to win one!  They have a ton in other colours, so hopefully I can bring back some of those ones too.

Fuchsia bird necklace:  $1.29 (BIN:  $3.99)
Green gem leaves necklace:  $1.04 (BIN:  $3.50)

All off eBay.

The rose necklace was a pretty big disappointment...in that, it wasn't as big as I thought it would be!  It looks pretty huge in the photo, but in person it's tiny.  I definitely wouldn't have paid that much for a necklace that dinky.

Ironically, I did pay the least!  All of the other ones were twice my price or more, so I guess I should be happy I got a deal.

All off eBay.

The turquoise ring was the only buy it now.  I just really like it!  I saw it on some website for $10, but I knew I could get it on ebay for way less.

Funnily enough, I had seen it around before, but was never interested in it.  The pictures on the website were so flattering, it changed my mind!

Lucky/happy/cherub print bodycon dress:  $5.01
Comic book sound effects bodycon dress:  $5.50 (RSP:  $25.11)
Beige/white/black illusion dress:  $4.75 (BIN:  $16.99+)

All off eBay.

Surprisingly, the first two were buy it nows!  I was so surprised to see them for so cheap...especially seeing as how the seller was in the UK!  Normally, only sellers from Asia offer free shipping..not that I'm complaining.

If they were any more, I probably wouldn't have gotten them...but at that price, I thought they'd be fun to have.

Funnily enough, they're still on the seller's website for a bit more than TWICE the price...and without free shipping.  

The seller isn't always that cheap, but they were having a major sale for some reason.  Both of those dresses sold out within the next day!

I really didn't expect to win the other dress for so low.  It's actually not that flattering on, sadly, but at least it's not too small. 

Multi colour gem necklace:  $2.30 (Highest:  $6.50)

Neon gem necklace:  $.99 (BIN:  $8.54)

All off eBay.

I'm surprised about the very last necklace...a lot of them went pretty high!  Mine was the only one that ended this low, and it was probably because the preview picture was broken.  It's a lot nicer than I expected!

My favourite is the first one, which is a J.Crew dupe.  I hope to get more in other colours.

I'm really surprised about that beetle necklace...when I searched for the picture, the original retailer came right up!  It's not made out of anything special, so I have no idea why they charged so much.  It goes for practically nothing on eBay!

In fact, I wish I paid less, because most of them end at around $1.  I guess I can't say it's that necklace exactly....except it does look like it exactly and the original was made in China.  I'm pretty sure this was at least made by the same factory...so what's the difference?   

Besides it being 1% of its original retail price...

Most of these were really great deals too....I just wish I didn't pay as much for the rock one.  I've seen it go for half that lately!  Plus, it doesn't look as great in person, and I even have to fix it because the chains fell out.

Coral/white striped chiffon halter maxi dress:  $5 @ Sirens (RSP:  $29)

I almost didn't buy this, but now I'm really glad I did.  I don't know what it is with in store mirrors...they're so unflattering!  Must be the super bright lighting.  It looked decent in store, but it looked beautiful at home.  

I was eying this same dress in blue stripes, but I left it behind.  I wonder if I should have bought it too.  It did have a major rip though, and it wasn't my preferred size...plus, the material does feel sort of cheap.

I bought it anyway, because it has a lot of neat elements my other maxi dresses don't.  The skirt is actually two pieces, so you can see a bit of leg when you're walking.


Plus, the slip only goes halfway, so you see a silhouette of your legs all of the time.  It does remind me of the dress above, except without sleeves.  I really liked that!  Furthermore, this colour was so bright and fun, I had to have it.


I wonder if that blue one would have been as flattering at home..

Floral leggings:  All for $8 (RSP:  $8 / $8 / $7) @ Urban Planet

I never shop here because pricing is hardly ever low enough for my tastes.  These were part of a very tiny selection that was buy 1 get 2 free, so they ended up being an ok deal.

Kawaii crush - Mandy's Candy shop set:  $6.49 (RSP:  $12.99+)
Kawaii crush - Betty teddy zoom zoom car set:  $8.99 (RSP:  $17.99+)

Both @ Target

Finally!  I've wanted that car for so long.  Target was the only store I could find it at, but it didn't seem worth $18..especially since it went down to $6 in the US!

I knew it would go on clearance, so I'm glad I waited.  I'm really hoping I'll be able to find it again when it's 70% off, but I decided to get it now just in case.  I would be fine with paying this price for what's quite possibly the most awesome car in that scale in existence.
 

I don't know why, but I've never seen that candy shop before!  At least I don't think I have.  It was a must have when I saw it...I just love all of the translucent parts and the hot colours.  They only had two left, so I wasn't sure if it would be around in a month.

It wasn't really worth it in comparison to the car, which was only $2.50 more...but it just made me so happy to look at.  The line is clearing out everywhere else, and there'd be no chance to get it again, so that clinched it.

There were a lot of other toys I was eyeing as well.  70% off can't come fast enough!

Pretty happy with all of these ones, especially the turquoise necklace!  It's way bigger than I expected, and it looks gorgeous on.

It's a copy of this Zara rhinestone necklace:


It does look like the same mold, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was made in the same factory as the original.  They never came in this colour though, as far as I know.

I'm surprised I like that bird ring so much.  The construction is cheap, but the picture is so pretty.  It's also bigger than I expected, which I like too.

The floral gem necklaces were all better than expected.  I've won others, so hopefully they're just as good too!

I'm pretty happy with a lot of these.  Especially that milky white necklace...it's gorgeous!  I'm surprised it went so low.  The first three were from the same seller, and they were all one offs.

I was most surprised about the yellow floral necklace.  It looks straight up yellow in that picture, but it turned out to be the exact same neon yellow as the one beside it!  I wonder if I should complain.

All off eBay.

Surprisingly, the mesh snake necklace ended up being a lot heavier than the belt I got!  Not as heavy as my vintage one, but almost.  I guess the quality varies.

I though the eye necklace looked cool, but I don't know how good it looks on.  I guess we'll see.

Green gem necklace:  $.63 (BIN:  $5.99)

All off eBay.

I'm happiest about the green gem necklace -- I'm so surprised it ended that low!  What a great deal.  It's great quality too!

I regret paying so much for the wing necklace, since it's a lot smaller than I thought, and I've seen it go for lower than I paid now.  It's nice, just not as nice as expected.

I also wish I didn't buy the blue/white gem necklace or the beaded bib necklace...they both look a lot cheaper in person.  At least the bubble one was great.  Much better than I thought!  It even came with earrings, which was a nice bonus.

I just found out the wing necklace is actually a dupe of J.Crew's Lulu Frost's winged glory necklace...which retailed for $232:


It certainly looks very similar, and the materials are the same.  For 1% of the price, I'm happy enough!

Calfhair skull clutch DIY:  $2.59 (frame) + $8.95 (skin) + $.08 (real pearl eyes):  $11.62

I was really happy with how this one turned out.  All of my other ones have imperfections, mostly wrinkling at the edges...but this one looks nearly perfect!  It would have been almost perfect if I didn't goof up by taking too much skin off.

I cut up one of my pearl bracelets for the eyes.  I never wore it, so this seemed like a better use!  

I just wish it was actual black.  It's a dark grey, which I don't think looks as good as straight black....the contrast isn't as stark.  Too bad, the pearls really do make it look more high end.

This was the purse I used:


It was the only one that was small enough to cover with the skin I had.  I didn't want to use it since I wasn't using an extra!  Now I don't have this purse anymore.  I'm thinking about buying it again, but I'd rather have a black purse made out of quality materials.

Though to its credit, that one felt like it could be leather.  Sadly, I can't get it cheap on amazon anymore, so I'll just see if I ever find a good deal on it again.

This was the purse I took the skin from:


I never really used it.  I just didn't really like the shape or the strap.  Even after I cut off the strap and replaced it with a chain, it just didn't look that good.  It was really hard to get my wallet in there too!

I just wish I didn't pay so much for it.  That's more than I would pay for something that I would just cut up, but of course I didn't think I'd do that back then.

Oh well.  It looks way better now!  The other one wasn't very exciting.


Snakeskin/leather skull clutch DIY:  $6.50 (clutch) + $3 (skins) = $9.50

I didn't have enough snakeskin to cover the whole thing, and I thought it would look weird to just do it at the front.  I wish it was perfectly centered, but other than that I really like the look.

I cut up this purse to make it:


I was never really fond of that purse, but I only got it because it was snakeskin, and it was pretty much free.  I definitely wanted the purse below, and I would have paid the same price if I just bought that alone...so why not.

I just didn't really like the shape, plus I prefer chain straps.  It's also a bit too small to be practical.  But anyway, I'm glad I have it now since I was able to make an awesome clutch with it!

I switched the eyes and gem from another clutch I made.  I had to damage the stone a bit to get it out, but things look way better with this colour combination. 

I just wish they didn't varnish the snakeskin...you can't even tell it's real since you can't feel the scales!

What a mail day!  I haven't had this many packages in a long time.  Most of them were really great deals too, so I'm pretty happy with most of it.

I'm happiest about the 3 finger ring -- it's gorgeous!  I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do.  It's just so unique...I don't have any other ones like it!  It was dirt cheap too, which was also nice.

Lace skull clutches:  $10.50 each @ Aliexpress

What a steal!  These are normally twice the price.  Even though I haven't bought any in a while, I couldn't pass these up.  I was interested in them before, but I was waiting for a sale....well, I don't think they'll ever go lower than this!

I was actually considering buying a white one when it was $16.  Of course, now I'm glad I didn't.

The seller has one more blue one in stock, so I want to buy it to customize.  At that price, why not!  Besides, I don't have that many of this handle, and no other ones in this size.

Gold putti bowl:  $4.99 @ Value Village

This is interesting...it looks expensive, doesn't it?  Even close up...but it turns out it's made out of plastic and ceramic!  I would never have guessed that...they don't normally use chrome paint on ceramic! 

That's fine with me.  What wasn't fine was, the last price was written on the bottom - and it was only $1!!  The fact that they were charging 5 times more than the last store just irked me.

When I looked closer, I saw why.  The figure had broken off the stand and had been glued back!  It wasn't a clean break either.  There are some chips, but luckily it's mostly at the back.

I think it was probably sold at Penny Pincher before...they have prices that low, and they also mark things with an initial like this one has.

Despite that, I still think it looks good, which is why I bought it anyway.  I lost my nerve to haggle, since I didn't feel like arguing, and I thought they'd tell me it'd be double the price if it were in perfect condition.

It's a dupe of these kind of dishes, normally made from bronze and crystal (or glass):


Ironically, those ones don't go for much either!  I've seen them sell for around $15-$20 (of course sellers price them wayyy higher on buy it now).  3-4 times the price this one was, even though the quality is much more than that.  I wonder if mine ever came with a lid like that one did.

I haven't seen any like mine on the internet...possibly because nobody cares, considering how little the real ones go for!

I'm still happy about it though.  I haven't found anything like this before, and this was in my price range.  I don't even know if I would have paid $20 for one of the good ones...they are pretty heavy and breakable!

I'm sure they wouldn't have been as low either.  The similar items I have seen were priced at $50+!  

The face is also pretty nice on this one.  Way better than some of the brass ones I've seen!  A win-win all around!

Akashya - Ankle length belted grey skirt:  $5.60 @ Value Village

This isn't made out of any extraordinary materials, but I just really liked the style.  It's so flattering on!  Plus, I really liked the belt.  $2.60 for the belt and $3 for the skirt seemed worth it to me.

I also got this football dog planter for $2.99:


It's from 1964 and made in Japan by Samson import company.  I wasn't sure how old it was since the theme seemed modern, plus it felt a little different than regular porcelain...but once the sticker came off, there was no doubt.

I wasn't sure when I picked it up, but now I'm glad I did!  It totally grew on me, plus it looks great with flowers in it!

Furreal animatronic pets - Snuggimals kitten (RSP:  $8.99), Teacup pups fashion Maltese (RSP:  $21.99+), Patter pup Lahso Apso (RSP:  $29.99):  $5.98 for all

I probably shouldn't have, but I just had such a thing for animatronic pets when I was little...and I never bought any because I thought they were too expensive.  They didn't seem worth $15+ each, but $3 each is doable!

The last two looked completely unused, so that clinched it.  I just wish the white one didn't have dead batteries...they cost more than he did!  I normally pass up animals without batteries for that reason, but I couldn't this time because he had such a cute outfit on.

Plus he came with that cat.  I don't like those microsuede pets as much...they don't look very realistic.  Not that the other ones are that realistic either, but these are even worse!  

Anyway, that one's just adorable.  It's permanently stuck in that position, and it makes the most adorable wriggling movements when you touch it's stomach.  Found the promo pictures for all of them:


They're supposed to act realistic, which means none of them are in constant movement once you turn them on.  The dog that actually works has periods where he sits and does nothing...I prefer the cheaper ones that are on all of the time!

Lots of gems in this lot.  The 3 flower necklace was a surprise - it's huge in person!  It looks way better than I expected and I'm really happy with it.  I won a few more and I'm happy about that too.

Adventure time bodycon dress:  $7.99 @ Aliexpress (RSP:  $12+)

I wish I waited longer to get this.  I've seen them go for around $7 since, and they might go even lower eventually.  I already waited quite a bit, and this was already the lowest I've seen it in a while...I just couldn't resist.

After seeing how different the Jake dress was, I wasn't sure how this one would go.  Surprisingly, this one is pretty similar to the original!

The design is the same, and the print looks to be the same scale...the only problem is, the colouring is off!  For a lot of the characters you can't tell at least, and from far away, it does look just like the original.

But if you look closer...you'll see that Lumpy space princess is pink instead of purple!  Finn's shirt is also a weird light aqua blue, and his face is a strange shade too.  BMO is a bit off too...he's a little more aqua than normal as well.  Princess bubblegum's pink is also off, but I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't comparing it to the original.

They have a skater version of this dress.  I might buy it if it goes on sale!
