Hello again! Finally I am back with a recent purchases (irl) post :P
So here's all the stuff I've bought over the last... few weeks(?) that I want to share :)
First off is this blazer jacket I got from Winners!
 |
| Carmen dark purple blazer jacket - $49.99, Winners |
Here's a close up + a better look at the colour~
Maybe cuz I was so depressed about not being able to find that purple/maroon blazer from the Aritzia warehouse sale... but I immediately gravitated to this blazer when I first saw it. There was also a deep red one and a dark green one, but I opted for this colour :)
Next off is this dress~
 |
| Black hi-low midi/maxi dress - $32.50, but I paid $19.5 + tax (40% off), Costa Blanca |
There's such a funny story behind this dress... lol. I guess I should share it then xD... even though I am feeling a little lazy with the typing and what not.. but oh well. So in the beginning of the summer, I saw a navy version of this same dress in the store, and it also came in a burnt orange colour. I tried on the navy one and I really loved it because it's such a pretty and unique length, but I didn't feel like paying for it at the time (I feel like it was under 30 when I first saw it... maybe they raised the price? not sure...) so I thought I would try and wait for it to go on sale. School got busier so I didn't have time to visit the mall, but when I did, I remembered that dress so I went hunting for it, but they sold out of them pretty fast. When I eventually did go back to purchase it, they were all gone... so I was pretty sad since I wanted this type of dress for the summer. So I went into the store a few weeks ago and I saw this dress! This time they had it in black, a dark green and maybe another colour, I can't really remember. So I grabbed it, tried it on and purchased it. At the same time, I decided to get the SPC card from there so I could get 10% off the dress. I was super happy just to be able to get my hands on it!
Flash forward a few days - I check my email and Costa Blanca has a coupon for 40% off all of their full priced items. I was so mad!! So on that weekend, I went back to Costa Blanca, explained to the person working there at the counter ringing items up that I purchased the dress a few days earlier, and that I wanted to return it and use the 40% email coupon. She was really nice about it and said yes.. but even funnier she said "I think people have been doing that all day... but you're the first one to say it outright like that". I replied saying "isn't it better to be honest? Who likes spending more money than they have to? :P" She agreed, lol. Anyway I ended up getting this dress for ~$20 instead of ~$35. It felt awesome, lol.
Alrighty, that was a long ass story, lol. Onto the next items~ Accessories!
I got a few things from Aldo Accessories... cuz I'm crazy for those Infinity signs.. haha.. but only on dainty looking pieces x)
 |
| Infinity necklace - $8, Aldo Accessories |
Also got these midi rings! I love how they look, but I really don't have many other rings that match with them... so I don't know how I'm gonna wear them >< But I WILL! Or else it'll be such a waste of money!! >__<
 |
| Gold midi rings - $8 (for both), Aldo Accessories |
Next are these cute BCBG bracelets I found on discount at the Bay!
 |
| BCBG DREAM bracelet - $12.60, TRUE<3 bracelet - $7.20, the Bay |
Yeah I dunno what's up with the price discrepancy between the two... but whatever. They're so cute! I don't have any other rose gold jewelry though.. so I'm not sure how to match these with other jewelry.. but I'll figure it out :P (btw I bought them at separate times.. the bottom 2 pictures have better lighting, so I decided to include them in too xD)
Alrighty, clothes + accessories, CHECK~
Onto nail stuff!
 |
| Nail rhinestones - $5/box |
I picked up these nail rhinestones at a random store in Chinatown, since the price was decent. I dunno how often I'm gonna use these... I haven't even been painting my nails these days, but it seems my nail purchases are at their highest right now... lol.. I really need to stop buying so much of this stuff =_= It's such a bad addiction!
*Sigh*.... speaking of which... lol... I picked up these 6 nail polishes from Superstore.
 |
| Essie over the edge, merino cool, chinchilly, vested interest, where's my chauffeur and go ginza - $7.97 each, Superstore |
I picked up a bottle of Seche Vite fast dry top coat and a bottle of OPI Nail Envy from Winners, on different days. I stopped using Seche Vite top coat because I thought it was way too expensive... but I realized it's about the same price as the Sally Hansen fast dry top coat... if I get the Seche Vite from Winners, lol. Honestly I feel that the Seche Vite is a better quality top coat. It doesn't bubble as much as the S.H one... for a person who loves layers and layers of top coat, I think the Seche Vite is a better product.
I've used the Nail Envy once, and it really does help harden your nails! I was too lazy to consistently apply it, but I felt its power with just one use!
 |
| Seche Vite fast dry top coat - $7.99 & OPI Nail Envy - $9.99, both from Winners |
Next are these Milani jewel polishes~
 |
| Milani Silver & Gems - $4.99 each, Superstore |
And FINALLY! Today I purchased these Covergirl outlast stay brilliant polishes from Superstore. They were on sale for under $5, and the limit was 4. PLUS it was no tax day, so I picked these four up!
 |
| Covergirl outlast stay brilliant nail poishes - 260 always autumn, 235 bronze beauty, 230 golden opportunity and 320 midnight magic |
It's my first time picking up this brand/line of polishes, so I'm hoping they're good! Midnight Magic is sooo beautiful, but I couldn't capture it well >< I definitely need to reserve my next polish purchases to unique colours like this so I don't get multiples of different colours... only from different brands =_=
Anyway PHEW! That was a long post. That's it for now, cya later! :)
