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.
