an I show you what I got today? Yes... I went shopping yet again, but they were all for cheap things so that's ok. I'm most excited about the jewelry because they are so pretty, but totally affordable. And, they don't look cheap either. They actually look like designer jewelry.I went to the Superstore because I saw that they carried Milani last time I went and I really wanted to pick up the Liquif'Eye eye liner pencil. I heard so many good things about it. However, they were all sold out. Boo. However, I spotted Joe Fresh jewelry nearby and I picked up 3 things:
I picked up 3 necklaces.
This shot doesn't do this necklace justice. It is such a sparkly necklace because of the multi facets on the beads. The beads are not all the same colour either. On every 3rd bead it's a lighter shade of the gold so it really does make the necklace sparkle. The chain is also adjustable so I can wear it long or more like choker-style necklace. I think it would look beautiful with a white button-down shirt. It also came in a smokey black. Also beautiful, but this one made my skin tone look nicer.
And guess the price??? It was a steal at $14 CAD.
I love the brush metal chains on this necklace. The chains look almost white and it is tied with a grosgrain ribbon.
Only $19!
I think this is my favourite out of the bunch. I know it looks plain, but it's also in the brushed metal and the chains are quite heavy. It doesn't feel cheap at all. It closes with a large lobster clasp. I'm going to be wearing this alone or even layer it with the necklace that I showed you above this one.
Best of all it was 50% off the original price. However, when I scanned it at the self-scan check-out it was even cheaper than $7! It was $6 something.
And, I bought 3 more polishes again today. I have a shopping list that I have on my iPhone shopping list app where I write down all the polishes I want to pick up in the future. I add colours I want to check out when I read it on beauty blogs so that it's easier for me to remember all the names. I categorize it under each brand.
2 out of the 3 were in my shopping list- Lemon Fizz and Orly's Rage. From left to right: China Glaze Lemon Fizz, China Glaze Camisole, Orly Rage.
I heard Jenny rave about this in her Nail Polish Trends for Spring 2011 video on YouTube so I knew I had to get it.
I've never heard about this nail colour- Camisole anywhere yet, but Sally's Beauty Supply had a deal where you can get 2 China Glaze polishes for $12. I got my previous China Glaze polish at Trade Secrets for $10 each so I thought this was a great deal.
Ingrid talked about this colour in her Spring 2011 Nail Polish Picks video on YouTube, but she had mentioned it a few times before this video. The colour is just amazing and I can't wait to try this on!
I'm a little bit bummed because I want to try all these new polishes I picked up in the past 2 days right away, but I just put on China Glaze's Re-Fresh-Mint...
Last, but not least, I want to show you a couple of pieces that I picked up from my cousin's store- Tabula Rasa. They are both vintage pieces that she re-worked.
This shot isn't showing the true colour of this jacket. It's more of a raspberry red. It's a boyfriend-style blazer with shoulder pads. Who would've thought that I would be wearing shoulder pads again...
It's made out of wool, but not it doesn't feel heavy. I wore it to work on Friday with skinny jeans and heels. I got lots of compliments on it. I think the key is to wear this with skinny jeans and heels to balance the boxiness of this jacket.
I love this piece. It's very big and boxy, but when you wear it right it looks fabulous! My cousin picked this out for me because she saw that I was looking at some jean jackets. I twit pic'd this jacket on my OOTD (outfit of the day) tweets that I do fairly regularly. See below for those shots.
The sleeves are dolman sleeves. I would wear this jacket very loose and open with skinny jeans or leggings. I also tried it with a dress and a belt over it and that looked pretty nice too.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend. Talk soon!
