These actually came in the last two days, but I thought it was easier to put them all together.  So much good stuff in this round!

I'm happiest about the snake rings...just the red, clear, and black ones.  The other ones are so much smaller, I wish I didn't pay as much for them!  They're around 1/4 of the size...I didn't think to check the measurements, since they looked exactly like the big ones!

The black one is the highest I've paid for a ring, but I really wanted it!  That was the first one the seller listed, so I didn't know they'd have more.  Luckily that one ended up being huge, so I'm still glad I bought it.

Some great deals this round!  Notably the gold chain necklace and the duster clutch.  I really didn't expect them to go that low, so I was so happy when they did.

Also happy about the clear gem necklace.  I've wanted one for so long!  The price is cheap for ebay, but I have seen them go for around $6 on aliexpress.

Most of them were from the same seller, and ridiculously cheap!  Most of them don't end that low, so it was rare to have so many at the same time.

I just wish I didn't pay $4.25 for the blue necklace - it's so dinky and unimpressive in person!  I thought it would have been huge.  It totally wasn't worth what I paid, but at least I didn't pay $11 like someone else!

They were all pretty nice, but I'm annoyed - a necklace was missing from my package AGAIN!  Two times in a row this seller.  

They always have a lot of nice stuff that you can win for reasonable prices though, so I'll probably keep buying from them.

I just wish I didn't buy the crystal chain necklace.  It's pretty, but I paid the most for it!  Some of them ended under $2, so I was really kicking myself after I saw that.

I didn't need so many of those rose necklaces either.  I'd be happy with two of them, but I just happened to win that many.  That seller hasn't relisted them since either, so I guess it's good I got them while I could.

They were all pretty great in person.  I'm happiest about the pearl necklace and the ring.  The pearls have a really nice shine to them.  They look more realistic than your average fake pearls.

Most of these are pretty great.  I'm just annoyed at this seller I've been buying from...they've been messing up on their orders lately.  This time, they forgot one of the necklaces, again!  I hope they just give me a refund without any hassle.

The last time they sent me a different necklace (I *think* it's the same seller, even though it's under a different name) and they don't seem to want to give me a refund.  I'd rather not neg them, since I do want to buy some more stuff from them.  Hopefully it'll all work out.

I'm so surprised about that thick chain necklace.  I almost didn't think they'd send it, so I was surprised to get them today!  I paid $5.06 for my first ones...I wish I didn't.  They were all here on BIN for much cheaper!

The other colours were $4.17, which is still cheaper than I paid.  For some reason, this reason was less than half the price of the others!  I might get more.  I'm trying to make a huge silver necklace!

This is an official picture of the Zara necklace:



It is nice, but I probably wouldn't have paid so much if it wasn't a Zara necklace!  The J.Crew necklace looks golder in the promo picture, but it looks the same colour as the dupe in real life photos:



That one retailed for $128.  Crazy!

I wish I didn't buy most of the ones from that one seller in the middle.  They were a lot worse than expected!  That seller's pretty hit and miss.  This one was the best one though, it was $2.06:


I'm happiest about the first necklace.  I wish I could have gotten it for a bit less though, since I've seen it go for about $4.30 on aliexpress.

I'm happiest about the snake ring and the Lanvin dupe.  That seller always has great snake rings!  I just wish I didn't buy the cameo ones from him.  They're way smaller than I expected, and I just don't like them as much as I thought I would.

Floral peplum dresses with mesh panels:  $5 each @ Sirens (RSP:  $19.50 each)

I love finding $5 dresses here!  I always get excited when I do.  They're just so worth it...you never see them that cheap anywhere else, even though the quality is the same as most mall brands. 

Even a lot of the stuff at Winners...they price them at around $25, and they normally get clearanced at around $13.  Not much of a deal if you ask me.

They had some other ones I was somewhat interested in, but the colours and prints were kind of garish.  I don't think I'd wear them for more than a season, but ones like these seem worth keeping.

Lalaloopsy Workshop doll - Angel:  $5.09 (RSP:  $17.99)
My Little Pony - Pinkie pie boutique - Glittery Pinkie Pie:  $2.39 (RSP:  $7.99)

Both @ Target

I actually found out that they marked the toys down to 70% off yesterday, but I was too lazy to go.  I wonder how the selection would have been then.

I wanted to get more Kawaii Crush stuff so I could return my old ones, but surprisingly, they were all gone!  If I went to more, I could probably find them.  But I don't want to go out of my way.


When things were 50% off, these glittery ponies caught my eye!  I don't really like G4's.  They just look too childish, I don't like their aesthetics....but I do love glittery things!

Back then I said that if they were around at 70% off, I'd buy them.  I really didn't expect them to be, but I had to keep my promise!

At first I found one on the shelf, and then I found one somewhere else.  It would have been nice to have the complete set of two, but this was my favourite one anyway.

I'm sure I could have found it secondhand for $2, but it's nice to have new toys once in a while!  Especially when the prices are pretty much the same.

This is my only G4 pony.  I probably won't buy any other ones, unless I find the purple glitter one!

I really never did much with my other workshop dolls, so I really debated buying this one.  I've only seen this newer one once before, and I doubt it'd ever be this low again.  I still might return her in the end, but she just had a lot of neat elements that I liked...mainly her glasses and heart shaped hair.

Ceramic squirrel on giant walnut cookie jar:  $4.99 @ Value Village

More than I wanted to pay, but still decent.  If I bought it online, shipping alone would have been more than that!  

I'd be more comfortable with around $4.  I saw two ceramic horse bookends that were $4 for the set, so that would have been more reasonable!

Anyway, I thought it was so adorable, I had to have it.  I'm not too crazy about the colours though.  I might paint it gold and pink instead!

I haven't seen this before, so I didn't want to regret not picking it up.  It's also in perfect condition, which is rare.  Most of the things I see have at least a chip or some other imperfections.

I only went to one VV today.  Normally I go to two, but I'm in the middle of a cleanup so I'm trying to slow down my buying until I'm done.  Plus, it was hot, and I didn't feel like driving there!

The main reason was because they had a 30% off sale yesterday!  I didn't go, and I'd feel dumb paying full price for something today, when it would have been on sale just hours ago!

Mani - Wool jackets:  $1 each @ Kim's Village

Haven't gone thrifting in a while!  I didn't think I'd go today either, but I can't resist a $1 sale.  It hardly ever comes.

I really didn't think there'd be anything good, so I was surprised I found these.  And so fast too!  Within minutes of walking into the store.

This is Armani, but it's just below the Emporio Armani line.  It is made in Italy, so I'm sure the original price was still pretty expensive.

They're honestly quite basic.  I probably wouldn't have bought them if not for the label.  Who could pass up $1 Armani that fits them??  The stuff made in China withstanding.

Finally, a manageable day!  Most of these were great too.  I was most excited about the chains necklace...I considered paying full price for it, but now I'm glad I didn't.  When I discovered it, it was never on auction, but oh how things change!

Turns out it's very similar to Topshop's mixed chain drape collar, which retailed for $90! 

This is what the original Shourouk necklace looks like:


That one retailed for $740, which is crazy, considering the materials aren't anything special.  This dupe looks nearly the same, except some of the stones are different colours.

And from today as well.  I'm happiest about that Zara necklace, though it's a bit more than I wanted to pay.

When I saw it in person though, it was totally worth it!  It's bigger and more beautiful than any of my other necklaces, so it makes sense that I paid the most for it.

It's a dupe of a Zara necklace...some of the stones are a different colour, but the rest is pretty exact!  The original cost $64, which I would never pay. 


I found out that the second one is from a major store too, but I've forgotten which one now.  Either Zara or J.Crew.

Didn't expect too huge mail days in a row!  A lot of great stuff in here, but I just wish I didn't pay so much for some of them.  Like the crystal floral necklaces..I've seen them go for half that since!

26 packages in one day...that's a new record!  Sadly, one thing was missing, and a lot of things were just ugly in person.

But I'm happiest about the big multicolour gem necklace.  It's as nice as expected!  I won similar ones from another seller, so hopefully those ones will come.  I'm a bit worried, since they have gotten some negative feedback for not sending things recently!

Anyway, I'm really happy about that ASOS beetle necklace.  I thought the design was just so neat!  I was just about to pay $4 for it on aliexpress, then I happened to find this one at the last minute.  It was almost half price so I'm pretty glad.  The keywords are all non nonsensical, so I wouldn't have been able to find it normally. 

The aliexpress seller has it in black too, which I haven't seen anywhere else.  It doesn't look as nice as the blue one, but I'm still tempted!

All off eBay.

The lace dress was an impulse buy, because I didn't expect it to end so low.  Plus, the promo pictures were so unflattering...surprisingly, it's beautiful in person!

But a bit too small for me.  At that price though, I couldn't resist.  Ironically, I paid the most on auction!  The other ones ended at $4.25 and $4.50, which is just an insane deal.  Really makes me wish I didn't pay $14 for the blue one!

Those J.Crew dupes are just amazing.  They look exactly the same as the originals!  I seriously can't tell the difference.  These are the official ones:


What I paid was literally 1% of the price!  I really don't understand why J.Crew charges so much for costume jewelry.

Double flower and gem necklace:  $4.41 (BIN:  $13.99)(RSP:  $70!)
Multicolour gem pendant:  $.80 (Highest:  $3)
Blue gem necklace:  $2.06 (Highest:  $8)

All off eBay.

I kind of wish I didn't buy the first two.  The first one is nice, but I paid too much for it...it isn't much better than the ones I buy for under $3.  I just found out it retailed for $70!  Shocking.

The second one...what was I thinking!  I don't like pendant necklaces.  It's pretty small and boring.

Those rings were a nice surprise (not the flower one).  They're a lot bigger in person, and they look more expensive than they were!  It's because the bands were so wide.  I need to get more like that!

This is the J.Crew marquess fleur necklace that my necklace was based on:


The knockoffs come in so many colours.  I have a few more coming!

Blue metal flower necklace (RSP:  $4.06 - $7.72+)
Fuchsia metal flower necklace (RSP:  $5.10 - $7.72+)
Pink flower necklace (RSP:  $1.82 - $4.19+)

All for $8.98 off Aliexpress

I was really surprised this came!  The seller had no feedback, and the prices were way lower than anywhere else.  They even had a $2 coupon, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought the pink one.


At first, I didn't even want to waste my time...most no feedback sellers don't end up sending you anything.  On a whim, I messaged them to see if they were real...and they replied right away!  All of the photos had their name on it too, so I thought they put in a little too much effort if they were just out to scam.


I've been trying to win those metal flower necklaces for a long time, but they always went out of my price range.  They normally ended around $6+, but I didn't think they were worth that much.


These work out to $3.66 each, which is what I always bid!  I'm glad I took a chance, since they're pretty nice in person.  Plus, I kind of doubt I would have gotten them for so low on ebay!


Also, these listings had so many pretty professional pictures, it made me want them more than normal.  I wonder what company originally made these?


They're a lot more versatile than I thought!

I love everything that came today!  Most of them were awesome deals too.

I'm most excited about the ASOS stuff...I'm almost positive that it's the exact same thing, since they are made in China.  Official pictures:


Even though my ears aren't pierced, I had to get those earrings!  They're so unique and pretty.  I'll just have to convert them to clip ons.

Most of the rings are from the same seller.  That guy has a lot of unique stuff that I don't see anywhere else...plus, it's a lot easier to just follow him than to look around ebay!  I don't even bother with general listings anymore.

Most of the necklaces are from the same person as well.  They always mass list things, and I win a bunch of things from them every week!  The quality and designs are always great, and since they have so many on auction, it's easy to get a deal.  Yay!

I really hate when it gets backed up like this!  I would have preferred to get a few each day...this is the first package I've gotten all week!

I'm happiest about the last two necklaces, but sadly, they both have problems!  The first one is just broken, while the second one is missing a stone.  Too bad.
