So fresh and so clean clean

y philosophy is- Every detail counts. I always want to buy stuff that are well-designed and beautiful, even if it's a bar of soap. Maybe it's the designer in me that dictates that… But I've always been like that ever since I was young. That doesn't mean I like to splurge every time on designer items. Absolutely not! 

A couple of weeks ago I was at Winners just browsing and I came across this line of soaps from The Scottish Fine Soaps Company. I've seen it the past few times I was there, but I didn't have time to smell them. This time I had some time to kill so I opened up the beautiful tin that it came in to smell the soap- OMG, it smelled amazing! The oatmeal one smelled good too, but I settled with the seaweed soap scent. It was so fresh and minty. I got it for $4.99CAD, down from $9.99CAD. Yes, it's still expensive for a bar of soap, but I like buying good quality soaps and I know I can reuse the tin for something else in the future.

I didn't realize until I got home that it matched my guest bathroom accessories perfectly. I'm going to be leaving this out for when my in-laws are visiting :-)

Un, deux, trois…

hy is it that you always find the best stuff when you're not really planning on buying anything? Today, I wandered in Winners (similar to TJ Maxx and Marshalls for our American friends) because I was looking for a toy for my son. He's been obsessed with this Tonka garbage truck toy that his friend had at his house. My girlfriend told me she saw it at Winners the other day so I went to see if they still had it. Of course they didn't…
However, since I was already there I checked out their home section and then their accessories section. That's when I spotted the brand Deux Lux. I've seen their stuff here and there (Hautelook, Shopbop, boutique shops) and I always thought it was cute, but I never bought anything from them. Well, I found 3 great things today and was tempted to get all 3, but I only ended up only getting 1 thing.

The first thing that I saw was this glitter zip wallet.
I know I already have a Kate Spade wallet that I bought not too long ago, but I find it
too heavy and bulky.
They also had a gold glitter one, but I loved this one. I love how the zipper is gold
and it has the mint green accent. Did I tell you I'm obsessed with mint green this Spring?

Here's the interior. It has gold polka dots as the lining. Super cute, no?
I believe it is made of faux leather.

The wallet was only $24.99CAD. What a great deal! It says the original was $40CAD.
I checked online and some stores have it for $50+

The second item from Deux Lux was this wristlet/pouch.
It's a beautiful coral colour with gold accents.

The lining is a beautiful purple.

This was also a steal at $24.99CAD, compared to $50CAD.

Here I am holding it against myself for size comparison. They also had it in a fuchsia, but
I think coral is more on trend for Spring.

The 3rd item from Deux Lux was this cobalt blue hobo bag with gold studs.

I believe this is also faux leather, but it feels real!
Although I'm not crazy about studs as it is literally everywhere, but I think it looks really
nice on this bag.

It was only $49.99CAD. 

Although I wish I got all 3 things, I really shouldn't be shopping so much… So I ended up only getting one thing. Can you guess what I got?

I got the wallet!

I decided to use my good camera to capture the beauty of this wallet.
The silver glitter exterior is actually coated so that I don't have to worry about glitter
getting everywhere.

Deux Lux is known for their silver coin charm that has their logo on it. I love the mix
of silver and gold.

The label inside the wallet. The wallet has tons of pockets for all my cards.

There is a zip pocket on the inside for your coins. It has a beautiful, purple satin lining.

Here I am holding the wallet.
