Finders Keepers

It has been a wonderful two days!! I think these were some of my best purchases of my life.
Here are some of the stuff my sister and I got from the sales:

Dakota Group Sample Sale Spring 2011

I saw the PLV slingbacks that I mentioned in the last post, but unfortunately they were a size 6...

 

Co-Lab                              Matt and Nat                             Matt and Nat

          Jenny Han                                  Numph                                    Something Else (back)

My favourite purchase was the Matt & Nat backpack. I have been looking for a backpack like that for awhile. The Something Else dress has a really cool back to it that would be good for the summer.  love love love Matt and Nat (and penguins)!! (I'm also probably going to "borrow" my sister's Jenny Han Dress)

Army And Navy Annual Shoe Sale

G by Guess                                        Rocketdog  

Jessica Simpson                              Steve Madden

Whenever I go to a shoe store I always check out those blue suede Steve Maddens, but they were always too pricey. I freaked out when I saw them. They're 4 and a half inch heels but I manage. You always need simple black heels because they go with everything, so I got the Rocketdogs. The Jessica Simpson line has really cute shoes, so I've gained a bit more respect for Jessica Simpson. ;) And a classy nude kitten heel won't hurt either. :)

I'd say we did pretty good.

April Showers bring Sample Sales!

There's a sample sale coming up from the Dakota group on Thursday April 28^th-30^th. I am stoked. They have Matiko shoes, Matt & Nat bags and Soia and Kyo clothing and lots of other brands. The prices are like the wholesale prices.. thats pretty good! Now I can actually afford some of these items!

Hope they have these Pour La Victoire slingbacks!

And the day before, on Wednesday, is the Army and Navy shoe sale in Vancouver.  A week of shopping! They have shoes from Steve Madden to Elie Tahari. Prices are pretty good, and I’m really looking forward to shopping for new Steve Maddens. Again.

I’m excited for this week.

Hong Kong Finds

During Christmas I was in Hong Kong for a family trip. The shopping was amazing! There are so many designer shops there. It was heaven! They even had a Diane Von Furstenberg, John Galliano and a Manolo Blahnik store there. I wish I was super rich so I can buy everything. Although I could afford to buy some things from two of my favourite stores, Bershka and Pull and Bear. They don't have any of thoses stores here in North America. What a shame. Aside from all the expensive things in HK, I also found tons of cheap finds.

I got a pair of skinny cargo pants from H&M for about $13! 

Black Tights $11: Bershka

Circle Scarf $10 

 

 Audrey Hepburn shirt $23: Pull and Bear

 

Combat Boots $22

Boots $30

Suspenders $9 

Headband $4

Bracelets $2 (good bargaining)

Leg Warmers $5

  

Yeah, I had a great time shopping.  

Cropped Shoe Jeans...

Lately, I've been really into baggy crop tops. I have quite a few of them now, which I hope I won't regret! I watch 90210 and one of my favourite characters, Ivy Sullivan, ALWAYS wear crop tops. She's like this surfer chick and she's awesome. Silver's fashion is amazing as well.

And I have an obsession with shoes. Oxfords, combat boots, heels, Cowboy boots, Manolos, Converse, Boatshoes, sneakers, EVERYTHING! (except flipflops; they're unhealthy and not so stylish).

I always have these phases with clothes and sometimes I end up not really liking them, but I know I'll never be sick of crops tops and shoes... you always need shoes. 

One time I was obsessed with coloured jeans... boy do I regret that. From now on, I'm just going to stick to normal jeans- ripped, acid washed, any kind of blue jeans. They are the way to go and they go with every outfit. Trust me, I had a tough time trying to match my red and orange jeans...

Arson and Orb

So a week ago I stood in line for about an hour to get into this Arson and Orb sale. They sell clothes, bags and winterwear, which I like because I snowboard. When I got there it was packed. I'm small so it was really difficult to get past everyone, but I did end up with some stuff I really like.
These are the two dresses I got. They are the only dresses I own now.

 This is probably one of the best shirts I found there:

My new favourite bag:

A T-shirt dress that says L'Amour de ta Vie. I usually wear this with a belt and make the top part baggyish and black tights.

Now I have to wait till next year for sale again.

Sale! Sale! Sale!

The Arson & Orb Warehouse sale is almost here! A bit of West Coast fashion. Now I can go get my cozy sweaters for super cheap. Too bad they moved from Fantasy Gardens to the River Rock Casino cause now I will not see the windmill and flowers.
