I'm back!

My trip to Halifax was really fun, and now I'm back. I got several new things, so here they are!

This is a very strange but pretty awesome jacket, which I found in a second hand shop, for 32$. You can't really tell from the picture, but it's a very plush faux fur. 

Pretty straight forward, a red U neck shirt from Smart Set. The awesome factor was the price. Did I pay the full 14$? Nu-un! It was twenty percent off, and with tax I ended up paying something around twelve dollars. Is it an amazing deal? Not really, but still pretty awesome.

These look really fugly don't they? In reality, these are totally awesome, faux pleather leggings. Yes, faux pleather. They may look short, however, they are fully ankle length. I paid a total of seven dollars before seeing several VERY similar pairs for significantly more money. Ok, so the upper inner thigh of the left leg did rip when I got home and put them on to show a friend, but it was along the seam so I'll sew them up, and they will be worn in the near future.

What more can I say? Awesome beaded shrug-thing, on an amazing sale. It was the winter clearance sale, and apparently this is winter? Does that make sense to you? Anyway, I fell completely in love, and a handy sale saved me form anguish, since there is no way I would pay 110$ for it, no matter how much I loves it.

The last items I got were two pairs of American Apparel tights, and I will talk more about those when I wear them.

Possibly Good Bye for a few days

I'm leaving for Halifax in a few hours, and I don't know if I will be posting while I'm away. My computer is a desktop, so I obviously can't take it with me. I might update once or twice from my aunt's laptop, but I doubt that I will have time. When I get home I should have a nice fat post filled with new things that I have bought, but until then,

BYE!

Reasons to be Happy: March 4, 2009

As readers of my Live Journal blog will remember, every Tuesday I do a post where I list five things that are making me happy. They will also remember that I am frequently a day or two late with publishing it. So, here we are on Wednesday, and I am writing it, but at least it's only a day late!

1. It's march break!! One glorious week with absolutely no school, no getting up ridiculously early, sitting through tedious classes, ect. (This also explains why I'm late posting this, I forgot it was Tuesday yesterday.)

2.



I'm going on a trip!! Yay! I'm leaving tomorrow to spend a few days with my Aunt, Uncle and two year old cousin in Halifax NS.

3. Visiting my Aunt means that we go SHOPPING! This is fun since none of my family other than her enjoys shopping with me, since nobody else likes the same kind of stuff, and gets that shopping isn't just something we do when we need new running shoes.

4. I am going down on the train, and for some this means four or more hours of boredom, I'm looking forward to it as time to catch up on podcasts, read, sketch and do other things like that. 

5. I got a new book today, and it's all about sewing purses, so I am really looking forward to making some new bags.

ShopBop Sale

In case you hadn't heard there are some sales on at ShopBop. This is the first time I have forayed into the website, and I thought I would check it out. I decided, since it's a big site, that I would only look at the shoes in my size that are on sale. I have picked out some of my favorites. I won't actually be buying any of them, but they are fun to look at.



This Diane von Furstenberg bootie is 238.50$, and was originally 795.00$. So, it's pretty good bargain. i would love to buy it, and wear it with everything from a miniskirt with tights, to jeans and yoga pants.




The second shoe I came across that I actually considered buying was this Leopoldo Giordano. It's only 163.50$ down from 545.00$. From my point of View, this is a very all purpose shoe for the warmer times of the year, and I would get it in taupe, but it's also available in Navy.



I positively adore this Report Signature Shoes sandal. It has an ankle strap, which is always nice with a fairly open shoe. it's 136.50$, down from 195.00$, so not a great steal, but it's still a nice shoe for a somewhat reasonable price, depending on how much you generally spend on shoes. Imagine this with scrunched up black skinnies, or a cute dress!



The final shoe that caught my eye is this Dolce Vita. Again, an ankle strap. which is always good, and I really like the grey and white. I tend to lean towards black, so would be a neat way to lighten up a dark outfit. 115.50$ down from 165.00$, so again not an amazing sale, but still pretty good.

What I Wore: Birthday Party!!!

Yesterday, one of my best friends turned seventeen, so of course, she had a birthday party. I really like my outfit, and I only have on picture of me in it, so you will have to forgive the weird picture.




The shirt is from Smartset, bought in September, the skirt is from a second hand shop, bought years ago. You can't see them, but I was wearing black sparkly tights that were a Christmas gift. I was wearing shiny black t-strap heels.

(This outfit make much more sense if you know what was going on at the moment. I was standing up, and a friend was sitting next to me, and I was saying something, when another friend took my camera and snapped this picture.)
