Indigo haul & iPad 2

he reason I like sharing hauls with you guys is so that you guys can check out some of the cool things that are out there and if you are interested you can probably go and pick them out yourself since they will probably be available.
Today I had to go to the mall to pre-order a train set for my son at Indigo and while I was there I was checking out their home section. You guys probably know that I'm in love with Indigo's home section. I always check it out when I'm there and sometimes they have amazing sales. Although I didn't get anything in their sale section today I was very tempted. They had some holidays stuff for up to 75% off!

Anyways, here are a few things I picked up:

A Pantone notebook. I'm in the design field and anyone who works in print knows about Pantone colours.
Anytime I see anything Pantone-related I go gaga over them. This notebook (5.25" x 8.25") also
came in a blue, but I love the combination of yellow and pink.

This was $16CAD. I'm absolutely in love with this notebook. I'm going to keep this notebook in my
purse and write down lists and ideas.

Here is the inside front cover.

The inside pages are pink and lined. It even has a ribbon bookmark. 

Sometimes I'll buy things that I don't need just because I think it's so cool
I recently did a shoot with different milks (I'll post that up soon) and we shot one of the milks with
a cute, striped straw that looked very similar to this. I have a stash of cool knick knacks that I keep
in my craft box and this is going in it. I'm sure I'll find a use for it in the future- maybe for my son's
3rd birthday party?

This was $8CAD for 144 straws. It also came in red and white, but I think the blue and white is much
more unexpected. I love that it's environmentally friendly because it's made out of paper and printed
with soy-based ink. BTW, I love anything from Kikkerland. They make the coolest things.

The last thing I got from Indigo was a bathroom set. I've been wanting to replace our ugly set that
we had from a while ago, but it's been so hard finding a set that was pretty and affordable.

This collection was called the Jaipur Collection and it has a lace pattern. It's made of bone China and
so pretty! This one is the soap pump. This was $14.50CAD.

I also go the soap dish. This was $7CAD.

This is the tumbler. It was $9CAD. I'm going to use it as a toothbrush holder.

This is my old bathroom set. It was nice when I got it, but it was so cheaply made that the wooden part
started peeling and the pump kept leaking soap. I got this from Nood in Vancouver. I think they are
closing now.

I finally got the iPad 2. My work is reimbursing me for it because I need it for work. I got the 16GB
in white and I got the pink cover.

This is the basic apps that it came with. 

Colourful rings

have a problem. I'm obsessed with Amrita Singh jewelry.
Now that I'm 3.5 months pregnant I find buying jewelry much more satisfying than buying clothing. I'm now showing a little bump so I don't get as much pleasure shopping for clothes- it just doesn't fit anymore!
Hautelook was having another Amrita Singh sale and I couldn't resist buying a few more pieces for my collection. I was immediately drawn to the Laure rings because they came in the most beautiful colours. These rings also reminded me of the YSL Arty Rings in that they had the colourful natural stones. I was also inspired by getting rings with colourful stones because I was admiring Lisa Eldridge's rings that she always wears on her videos. They look so good on her! Hers is by William Welstead and probably out of my price range, but I thought these would be a perfect alternative. Plus, these were on sale for $14/each at Hautelook. Regular price on these babies are $100/each! The sale is still on until tomorrow (Monday) so definitely check it out!
