all me a shopaholic, but when I see something that's so pretty and at a good price, I just can't pass up on it. I was out running errands this afternoon- picking up a birthday gift for my girl friend and my twin sister and as always, I got distracted by all the pretty things I saw. First stop- Chapters/Indigo. I swear, that place is dangerous for me. Especially when they are having a sale.Here's what I got at Chapters/Indigo:
 |
| I saw this pretty notebook (left) with gold foil embossing. They are really promoting all things Canadiana with their stationery supplies right now. The pink thing to the right is a sticky note set. |
 |
| Here's a close-up of the cover. This was $6.50CAD. |
 |
| The pages are lined inside and there are 3 sections divided by craft paper (you can see it on the left of the lined page). I'm planning to use this notebook when I go back to work. |
 |
| This is the Canada Owls Sticky Note Set. Isn't the cover pretty? Chapters/Indigo also had a blue version of a sticky note set with a different graphic, but I liked this one better. |
 |
| Here's the inside with all the different-sized sticky notes. I love the owl-print lining. |
 |
| Here's a close-up. I'm also planning on using this when I go back to work. This was $10CAD. |
 |
| I love love love Voluspa candles. They smell amazing and the packaging is just to die for. However, it is expensive. That's why I always wait until they go on sale at Chapters/Indigo before I purchase these. |
 |
| I got Eden & Pear (my favourite scent out of the 2) and Crème de Pêche. |
 |
| They were originally $12CAD, but I got them on sale for $6CAD each. The great thing about these candles are that I can use the jars after I'm finished with the candle to store stuff in. |
 |
| I picked up votive candles to put inside my next purchase. This was $4.75CAD, down from $9.50CAD. There's no scent to these, but I wasn't sure if my regular tealights would fit in my next purchase. |
 |
| I got 2 of these beautiful, mercury glass votives. It's just stunning in person. |
 |
| The insides are gold and they glimmer in the light. |
 |
| These were $4.50CAD each. I'm even thinking of storing some of my jewelry inside the votive. It looks so pretty with my Voluspa candle. |
 |
| So this is what I actually went into Chapters/Indigo for- a gift for my girl friend. I'm going out tomorrow night for my friend's birthday and I wanted to pick up something for her. I don't really like buying clothes and shoes for friends because I never know what size they are and I don't know if they will really like what I get. To be safe, I always get home goods. I got this initial mug with her first name initial (it was $8CAD or 2 for $12) and an organic green tea canister from Harney & Sons. This was originally $10CAD, but I got it on sale for $5CAD. Score! |
I then went to the mall to see if I could find something for my twin sister. Our birthday is coming up- August 12 and I noticed she was walking around with flats that were almost threadbare. She is pregnant with her second child right now so I want to make sure she has good flats to walk on.
From J Crew Factory:
 |
| I wish they had the nude colour ones still available, but I still like this persimmon-coloured ones. I hope she likes them too. I'm more daring when it comes to dressing so I know I would rock these, but I'm not sure if she would… I think they are so pretty! These were originally $115CAD, but they were super marked down. I got them for just under $40CAD with tax. I wish they had it in my size… |
As always, I can't help myself from going to HR2. Their stock is always changing so I like going there to see if there's anything new and if things I liked in the past are further marked down. Lo and behold it was! Remember the Echo scarf I talked about earlier here? Well, they were on sale for $39CAD.
 |
| I wanted to take better photos, but the scarf is super long. Maybe I'll do an OOTD photo in a future post. |
