Mini haul & Spring nails

picked up 2 things at Forever 21 this past weekend.

I was there for only a quick little while so I didn't get a chance to browse for too long. However, I love the 2 tops that I picked up. I feel that they are classic pieces that I can get a lot of wear out of this Spring/Summer.

Here's the first top.
It's a coral tank top that I think will look so pretty with jeans or even a pair of white jeans.

Here's a close-up.
It's a 100% polyester blend, but I think it still looks nice. I normally love silk tops, but
I know silk is extremely delicate and shows marks easily.

The best part was that it was only $12.80CAD.

Here's how it looks on.
The top had a lot of crease marks, but I think a good steam will get rid of the marks.

The back is longer than the front so I love that it hides the bum area :-)

I know this doesn't look like much on the hanger, but I absolutely love this top.
It was a burnout effect so it is semi-sheer. The neckline at the top is higher than the
neckline at the back. I love that because I think a cute bib necklace will look great
with this top.

Here is the back. You can see that it has a scoop neckline.

And here's how it looks on.

And the back.
I threw out the receipt, but I think this was a little over $15CAD. It is 100% linen.

Here's my outfit of the day. I'm wearing an oversized H&M sweater and black leggings.
It's been raining almost every single day here so I've been wearing my Hunters almost
daily. I'm tired of this drab weather!

I thought I would show you guys my nails. I am wearing several different shades of
pink and glitter polish on 2 fingers. I love this look!

Manicure Monday- Spring blue edition

re any of you as excited as I am for Spring/Summer? The weather has gotten slightly warmer where I live so I only want to put on bright polishes. I'm sick of dark polishes. I'm also OBSESSED with glitter polishes lately. I know it's a b*#%! to take off, but I just love how it looks on the nails.

What are your favourite colour combos for Spring? I'm always open to suggestions.

I am wearing Sally Hansen's Barracuda with Deborah Lippmann's Today Was a Fairytale
as the accent nail.

Sally Hansen's Barracuda can be a little tricky to apply because it is thick and the
brush is too big, but I love the colour. 

Deborah Lippmann's Today Was a Fairytale is also hard to apply because the glitters
don't go where you want them to go. I'm kind of wishing that I used a silver base
underneath the glitter polish instead of using it over Barracuda as the blue is showing
through too much…

Target haul

y younger sister and I checked out a Target near her house on Saturday. Her Target is bigger than the one I checked out last week. I was so excited because I didn't have my 2 kids with me and I knew that I would have more time to thoroughly go through each aisle. We started off our Target adventure with Starbucks :-)

My sister treated me to a tall non-fat latte :-P

I took a few snapshots throughout the store.
Pretty earrings. These are so perfect for Spring!

More jewelry.

I almost bought this mint green watch. It was only $19.99. I'm still debating whether to
go back and buy it…

This location that I went to had a shoe department. They weren't fully stocked as I had
hoped it would be…

Owls! Aren't these so cute? I would totally get these for my daughter when she gets a little
older. I'm not big on princess stuff and overly pink décor. This is more my cup of tea.

What a pretty pillow. The little yellow dots are tiny pom poms.

I know I showed these last time, but I'm showing it again. I love these appetizer bowls.
It also came in blue/green.

More melamine servingware.

I love that orange and oatmeal-coloured dish towels.

Huge beverage dispensers. These would be perfect for garden parties.

I was looking for a huge glass jar for storing my Oxiclean. I'm in love with that stuff.
Instead of storing them in their packaging I would rather have them in glass jars with
a wide rim. So much prettier that way.

Pretty wooden bowls.

I showed these bowls last time, but I wanted to show them with the different
coloured insides. Last time I just showed the yellow ones.

Pretty mechanical pencils.

I love Orla Kiely and I knew they collaborated with Method. This was the first time I saw
these in stores. I almost bought this hand soap, but I already have so many hand soaps
at home so I didn't end up getting it. I'm kind of regretting not buying it.
I might have to go back…

Other patterns.

Sonia Kashuk brushes. I didn't see any Sonia Kashuk makeup.
I'm a little disappointed by the beauty section. There weren't a lot of selections and brands
as I had hoped.

Nyx.
I think Rexall carries more Nyx lines.

Pixi. 

I thought the escalator for the shopping carts were so cool!

Jamie Oliver line of products.

Mental note: next time I need to pick these up.

Cute headphones.

I love Skip Hop products. Aren't these adorbs???

This pouf reminded me of something I had seen at West Elm. I couldn't find the price of these.

Now onto what I actually bought…

I've been looking for a large glass jar to store my Oxiclean in. I looked last week at
Ikea, but they didn't have the size that I wanted. I found this one at Target for $6.99CAD.

You have to twist the lid to open it.
I'm planning to make my own label and sticking it on the jar.

Appetizer plates from Threshold.

I got 4. They were $1.99CAD each.
They are look like glass plates, but they are actually melamine. 

Pretty dip bowls from Threshold.
I got 4- they were 2 for $6.99CAD.

Here they are from the side. Aren't they pretty??

Another view.

And stacked…
I think because these bowls are small they can easily be used for jewelry storage.
They are also made of melamine.

Threshold scalloped platter.
I'm a sucker for platters (I seem to pick one up from Ikea everytime I go…) so I knew
I had to have this. They only had one left. I wish I got 2… I might have to go to another
location…
This was $9.99CAD.

Here are the appetizer plates, dip bowls and platter in size relation to one another.

I also got Threshold kitchen towels.
They were $5.99 for the set.

I love how they have different patterns. I plan on hanging these on my oven door.

My only accessory that I picked up- a dainty necklace.
This was $14.99CAD.

I plan on wearing this on its own or as a layering necklace.

Here's how it looks on.
