Recent Purchases ~ Clothes, Accessories, Shoes & K-Pop!

Hi hi!!~
So here is a compilation of some stuff I've purchased over the past few weeks :3
First off is this dark denim jacket I found at Forever 21. It has black lace detailing on the back, which I thought was really pretty ><

Forever 21 Dark denim jacket w/ black lace detail, $18.99 (sale!)
Here's the back...
and a close up of the lace on the back :P
This jacket is pretty oversized.. so it's definitely not fitted. It's a size M and it's still pretty big on me (especially in the shoulder area) but I think it looks really cute with the sleeves rolled up. I think this will be a really great piece to just throw on when the weather gets a bit warmer.. I'll be able to wear this like I wear blazers as outerwear during the Spring/early Summer/early Fall. I was just browsing through the sale rack at the Forever 21 at Richmond Centre after class last week and stumbled upon this. It's at a really good price point too, so I decided to just pick it up.

Here's the second piece I found on the sale racks at F21 on the same day.

Forever 21 Black sweater w/ silver spike detailing, $22.99 (sale!)
Here's a close up of the spikes :)
This sweater is so badass! xD I've wanted a sweater or cardi like this for a while, and I just decided to purchase this one from F21 since it was on sale and it fit nicely. The large was way too long and big, so I opted for a medium, which fits pretty well, but is still baggy on top - which I like cuz it's comfortable and flattering.

Next up is this necklace I found at H&M :)

H&M rose gold necklace, $12.95
 I actually got 10% off this since H&M was doing an offer for 10% for students and teachers with a student ID card. It's really pretty and not too much of a statement, so I decided to pick it up. Sadly, I think necklaces are such a bother to wear most of the time, so I usually don't wear them. This one looks really nice with collared shirts though, so I'll definitely make sure to wear it >_<

Next up are these shoes that I've eyed for a really long time... I always said I would eventually get myself a pair since I just ended up trying them on at PC once a long time ago.

Sam Edelman Felicia in black leather, $125, The Bay
After observing The Bay for a few seasons, I realized that these shoes are like an essential that NEVER go on sale. So I took advantage of this 20% off almost everything coupon that my dad got in the mail for The Bay to buy these :P
Originally they're $125 (I've seen them at Town Shoes for the same price, but again, I've never seen them go on sale), which is way too much in my opinion for these shoes, but I got them for a little over $100. Of course, after tax, they come up to a little below the original price, but any discount is a good one for items like these!
Sadly, though, I thought the coupon was a one-time-use, so I only used it to take these shoes home :( Even though I looked around, I couldn't find anything else that I felt like getting, so I didn't end up getting anything else. It sucks though cuz earlier that weekend, when the coupon was valid, I also roamed around 2 different Bays after class :( I could have gotten even more stuff! -sigh- Oh well. What can I do now besides enjoy these awesome shoes?

BTW, these are the Sam Edelman Felicias in the black (authentic) leather. The sole is also man made, according to The Bay's website.
They're SUPER comfortable, which is why I really wanted to invest in them in the first place, but I have to say I haven't worn them out yet, so I'm not sure about how they really feel. So far I'm really loving them, though, and I'm sure that even if they do give me a bit of discomfort at first, they'll break in nicely and be really comfortable.




Alrighty! Lastly are these two CDs that I received in the mail a while ago.
I said in a previous post that I'd definitely buy the physical copies for these two albums, and I did! :P
Again, I purchased these from YesAsia.


I'm sad that the B.A.P album came in a little damaged on the top right hand corner :( and a little in other places... but oh well. It's not enough for me to go through the trouble of complaining to YesAsia and requesting another one and yada yada.

If you're interested...
B.A.P's First Sensibility available here.
BTOB's Beep Beep available here.

Alrighty! That's all for now. Wow, that's one long post. I haven't really done a long one in a while, but it feels pretty nice that I actually have stuff to blog about.
Ok see you next time! :)
