Landes - Pink calf hair skinny belt: $2.09 (RSP: $20+)
Blythe + Polly car: $1.99
Both @ Value Village
They had a 30% off sale today...seems kind of cheap for boxing day! I think it should have been half off, but I came anyway.
I was so happy when I found that belt. The buckle is a beautiful rose gold colour, and of course I love pale pink! The fact that it's real calf hair made it even better...and the price made it the best! I would have paid their asking price of $3, no question.
It's even new with tags from Army & Navy! I didn't know they ever carried anything that good.
I haven't found a LPS blythe in a looong time, so I was really happy to see her today. She even has a complete outfit, most of the ones I find are nude.
She's Totally Talented Blythe wearing Prettiest in Pink's dress:
Too bad she wasn't there too! But her dress is way better than Totally Talented's outfit:
I do like her shoes though, so I'm glad she had them!

Can't pass up cheap sequined stuff! They're only at the front, but who cares for this price.
It's a neat style too, but the sizes were so big! I think I could have gotten a small, but I got a medium just to be safe. They're still on the website for $10!
If I see the black one again somewhere, I'll definitely pick it up. It's just that black seemed so bland compared to the other two!
I was so surprised to see the Nicole Miller shirt there. I've never seen that brand there before! I really don't know why they were selling it...her stuff is way pricier than the things that are usually sold here.
I couldn't find this exact tee, but it looks like similar ones retailed for $25! Urban Planet's regular price of $10 was already reasonable enough.
It must have been a mistake or some weird clear out, since most of the sizes were huge too! XL to 3XL, and they never carry those sizes! Maybe an XL once in a blue moon, but definitely not bigger than that Sizing was way bigger than the equivalent Urban Planet normally sells too.
It's not totally my style, but I thought it was cute enough for $2. The anchor is glittery, which helps.

I really wish I bought my phone so I could have used a $5 off coupon. There was this pretty sequin top I was eyeing, but oh well.

Pink glitter bird ornaments: $1.25
All @ Dollarama
Just had to check out the Christmas section! This was the last day afterall...they had a surprisingly decent selection left. There were some things that I hadn't even seen before, that deer being one of them.
I just love deer, so I had to get it. They had a gold one too, but that colour just wasn't very exciting. I wonder what other colours they came in.
They had those cute shoes in gold glitter as well, but I thought this red/gold combination was much better.
I've seen those glittery birds everywhere, but never in this pretty pink. I had to get it!
The details looked kind of crappy, which is why I held off so long, despite seeing them practically every time I visited any Dollarama.
Most of them have totally messed up eyes...the positioning is haphazard, and the eyes were rarely round or the same size! Sometimes they weren't even painted in the eye socket...I've seen a lot of black dotted cheeks!
But they actually look great on the tree, so I kind of wish I bought more! I remember seeing them in silver, two types of gold, green, fuchsia, hot pink, light purple, red, and light blue. So many shades, maybe even more that I've forgotten. At the very least, I would have picked up the light blue if I knew how good they were going to look!
Here's hoping they come back next year...though I don't remember seeing any of the same stuff from last year!

I also wanted to get another blinged out hairbrush, but it had some sticky stuff I would have had to take off myself. I was fine with that...but then I noticed there was a stone missing, so it didn't seem worth it.
I sure hope I find that again! I don't know if they'll restock it...I wish I picked it up all of the other times I saw it before!

Such a steal! Now I wish I bought more. Their clearance price of $2.50 each was reasonable enough, but it's an even better deal with their coupon.

That snowman is so cute! He's pretty great quality for something for $2, and he's a real bell!
I love sequins,so I couldn't help but buy this mini backpack. I'm sure I'd never use it, but it would be great for storing things at home.

Eelskin purse: $6.99 @ Value Village
The style is plain, and I do see it quite often...but it's always in pretty used condition. This looked almost pristine, so I had to get it!
I don't like paying full price, but I thought theirs was surprisingly reasonable. I'm happy with my purchase!

I love this location! It's the biggest one, and they always have stuff I don't see at the other locations.
I'm going pretty overboard with the ornaments, but these were so nice...I couldn't help it. There's no guarantee that they'll be back next year, so I thought I might as well buy these now.
I've seen the birds elsewhere, but they were always painted really sloppily. The rest I haven't seen anywhere else! I thought the hearts in particular were a great deal. They had smaller ones too, but their shape wasn't as defined, so I didn't think they looked at nice.
They had them in green and silver too. I kind of wish I bought the silver ones now!
It was love at first sight when I saw that brush...I thought it was so beautiful! I've never seen that anywhere else, so I wonder if they'll show up later on.
Pink was definitely my favourite colour, but they also had a silver one, and a silver/grey one. I think I might pick up the silver one if I find it again!
Sheer ruffle camisoles: $2.59 each @ Urban Planet (RSP: $16.99 each)
Finally used a coupon here! The sales aren't usually that great there, plus the clothing style is usually pretty immature.
But these were totally up my alley...pretty, feminine, and flirty. I was so happy I got them for this price! I found an official picture of the teal one:
They have a maroon one, a black one, and a white one, so I'm hoping I can get those too. The black one:
There's a picture of a red one too, but I didn't see that one there:
They're just so pretty!

Hello Kitty magnetic drawing kit: $3 (RSP: $10+)
Wire dish rack: $3
Both @ Dollarama
I saw a TMNT version of the drawing kit, but I passed because it looked kind of cheap. The paint job was horrible! It was seriously bootleg quality,
This one looked great though, so I had to get it. I just thought it was so cute, and it also had a function, which was a plus.
Well, turns out it's stuck to that book! I thought it was removable, but I ended up doing that myself easily enough.

All @ Dollarama
I rarely see that damask pattern towel, so I had to pick up an extra when I saw it today. The other pattern was cute too, so I thought I'd give it to my mom.
I've seen those Minnie Mouse socks a bunch of times, but I passed because I didn't think they were interesting. Today I noticed they have these adorable cut out bows at the back, so that clinched it.

Tiger print skirt: $6.96 (RSP: $32)
All @ Joe Fresh
Finally! I've been waiting for another percent off/free shipping sale, and that happened on Black Friday. Thankfully they still had some worthwhile things for sale...the last couple of times they've had free shipping, there was nothing I wanted to buy.
I'm always on the lookout for cheap silk. I don't like paying over $10, but I really liked the colour, so I was ok paying a bit more. They had the same design in burgundy and navy, but since I didn't love the colours, they didn't feel worth paying more for.
I was really happy about the tiger skirt! It's more than I like to pay for a skirt, but I thought the print was so fun. I'm surprised it originally cost more than the dress.
The sneakers were a happy surprise. They're real leather, and they only had my size left! Totally meant to be.
I can't wait until their next sale! I hope they'll have more cheap silk then. Their stuff is pretty nice quality in general, so I wouldn't mind adding more to my closet. The above clothing on models:
The only problem is finding your size! They don't stretch at all, so it's hard to know what to get. I could have sized down for the skirt, but the dress was right size for me..and they're two sizes apart!

Beaded top: $2.50 @ Sirens (RSP: $39.99)
This was such a steal! I saw it on sale for $7.50, and the coupon made it that cheap. Considering the high retail price, I didn't think it would be that low.
This early too! It's still about a month away from Christmas/New Year's, I didn't expect to see sales on their holiday stuff until next year...not that I'm complaining.
It's probably the best quality garment I've ever seen sold at that store. Beadwork that intricate takes a long time!
I was thinking about getting this skirt at the same time, but that would have made each item $5. That'd be worth it, but since I'm cheap I decided to try my luck. Besides, that one was missing a ton of sequins. Maybe if I find it again..
Christmas tic tac toe game: $1.25 @ Dollar Tree
I rarely come here. It's so cramped and the stuff is usually junky. But since I hadn't visited in a while, I decided to take a look today.
I saw this game and thought it was so cute and random. For the price, why not?

I've never seen those deer anywhere, and I only saw those two misplaced somewhere. I wasn't sure if I'd find them again, so I had to pick them up!
They look a lot more expensive than the are...they really look like glass, or at least a nice quality lucite. A steal for the price!
They actually have a lot of neat holiday stuff right now. Some of it looks cheap, but the majority of it looks better than most dollar store stuff. I'm going to have to take a closer look the next time I go! Today it was a zoo, I couldn't wait to get out of there..
