*~Winter Goodness~*

zara really has some nice coats...was browsing new arrivals and this coat caught my eye~~downside is that it has no hoodie...but it's very clean and simple and the cinched waist is a plus~~hopefully i'll be able to catch it in stores~~

*~Fluffy~*

aw these are super cute and perfect for the winter season coming up!! i haven't seen this style anywhere else so even though the price might hinge on the high side, it's worth thinking about n_n

COZY SLIPPERS - USD$39.50
so holiday party outfits ideas are going to be on mind my for the coming month :P so i'll just share my random thoughts here~~spotted this pair of earrings at forever 21 at only USD$1.50 (not on Cdn website yet...) that i think would be perfect for any LBD!

FAUX PEARL EARRING WITH BOW - USD$1.50
on another note...sharing my cowl neck love...this definitely has potential...don't know if it'll look as good in person~~since this light colour and thick material might make me look fat with my body shape~~

COWL NECK SWEATER WITH BELT - USD$19.80

*~Happy Halloween~*

happy halloween girls~~nice timing this yr for get-togethers and partying...although i was stuck working saturday *sigh*...so a relatively uneventful halloween for me...i actually feel asleep from "from hell"...it's a pretty old movie but i really like it since it's based on jack the ripper...i just love anything related to england haha...but the story was actually good...i love my murder mysteries~~

anyway~~after halloween...tis the season to pimp out xmas stuff haha...esp with all the emails i've been getting from the email listing i'm on...

the tory burch holidays flats caught my eye

i'm also hoping coach redeems itself this season since last last holiday season they really pushed out some good stuff...but has gone WAY downhill since~~but nothing impressive so far...just very glittery~~the only one i like it this "new poppy ski bunny glam tote" in white for $258~~


btw...speaking of xmas~~company holiday parties coming soon~~i plan to put together a few looks in the next few weeks~~it's a lil hard for me to find something that fits well yet simple n sophisticated and at a good price point for something i'll probably wear once~~

*~Clutch~*

another look for less...i've always loved BCBG Max Azria's bow clutch and bow bags...esp the cute buckle in front...but i've always found the price point a bit high for what the product offers...luckily i just found a great look for less on asos.com

ASOS.com: Pleated Suedette Bow Lock Across Body Bag - USD$34.48

so on another note...this is not a look for less...but more of an alternative of a zara coat i featured awhile ago...same giant hood...i love the tan colour~~but just doesn't seem as warm as the zara one but it's still 50% wool~~

Modcloth: Coatof Gibraltar - USD$129.99


btw just found another new shopping site that carries similar style as modcloth for all you modcloth lovers...for example this dress (also available in white) i think i saw on modcloth for awhile ago for only $25~~the price points are definitely better~~so it's worth checking out n_n

*~The Dark Side~*

ah...the dark side...really reminds me of club monaco style for some reason...i think it's definitely great for the winter season~~

*~Milk Tea Mock Looks~*

some mock looks for less...and great bargains~~sad that they aren't on the cdn website x_x
good news is that the cowl neck tunic i was recommending from forever 21 is now fully back in stock on both cdn and u.s. website~~so grab it while u can!! actually there is a striped version for $1 more...although personally i try to avoid strips (makes me look unnecessarily fat) though i love the style...



Urban Outfitters: Pins and Needles Ruffle Open Cardigan - USD$48.00
(available in 4 colours)
...looks so soft and sweet on the model...perfect fall romance...

Forever 21: Ruched Front Cardigan - USD$9.80
(only in dark blue)
great look for less...and is a good colour option since the UO one doesn't have this in blue~~

simple clean look for fall
can also pass for a look for less for american apparel cardigans as well~~

Sephora by OPI: Flurry Up Top Coat - USD$9.00
quite pretty...perfect for a night out~~the gold one is very nice too~~
Forever 21: Tinsel Town Nail Polish - USD$0.99
...i've always liked nail polish from forever 21 since their colours are quite nice...esp for the price...

Forever 21: Rick Rack Cardigan - USD$5.99
reminds me of those $100 wilfred cardigan from aritzia...of course the quality wouldn't be the same but for $6!! i can't believe all these cheap cardigans are in stock...

Forever 21: Embroidered Back Cardigan - USD$6.80
reminds me of another cardigan from urban outfitters awhile back...(can't rmb the brand - maybe silence & noise?) but for less than $7...what more can you ask for~~although it's not my style (i just can't pull off lace LOL)...i'm sure some of you girls will enjoy this piece at this ridiculous price~~

i guess one more couldn't hurt lol...sorry for the super long post~~but u know my love for mulberry

my frd loves this classic bag...i personally can't pull it off though (bayswater is my target LOL)...
not exactly the same...but similar style...has potential...

*~Sweater~*

so i've sure you've seen those aritzia sweaters that they rehash out every year...well i've found a great alternative (a cuter alternative actually) for less of course (almost half the price)...at zara!!

*~Hit & Miss~*

so omg...i can't believe i just discovered couture.zappos.com just got my hands on the vivienne westwood x melissa flats that i've been wanting...for like forever!! AND on sale too!! I highly recommend the collection (super comfy and can't find a bad review on the website~~) and you seriously can't find better prices elsewhere (in fact...this collection is mostly sold out elsewhere~~)
this is the pair that i got...ah im super super excited to receive them (i had to ship them to my u.s. frd though...zappos DOES have a canadian site but the selection isn't that good and did not have those flats!!)

they've several colours too...i also liked the black ones and the red ones...

this is the heels version...also super cute BUT i'm not a huge fan of open toe...
USD$85.00 (originally USD$150.00)

these are also super cute...very barbie haha...but i don't think i would wear them too often...
these are next on my list~~i love flats and these are adorable and i can see them going with most of my outfits~~
in terms of misses...i visited forever 21 today when i went to the mall to get my frd's bday present at aritzia and to meet up at moxie's for dinner...
i had to return this sweater because the fitting was quite bad x_x i love preppy cardigans but the way the shoulder fits just made me look bigger than i was...and my sisters didn't like it as well...



so i exchanged it for the bag i favourited a posts ago...but i'm still on the fence because sad to say, the actual product is not that well made since it's not symmetrical (one side is higher than the other and the bow is not symmetrical as well...which just makes it look not well made - you'll get what i mean when you see it in person)...anyway i might probably return it as well *disappointed*

*~Favourite Fall Shirt~*

I think I found my favourite fall top..so excited...can't wait to wear it tmr!!
I just dropped by forever 21 hoping to pick up some items I featured in my last post...couldn't find them sadly *had the heart necklace in gold which doesn't really suit my style*...but to my surprise, found this PERFECT top...it's super slimming and looks super good on me and very office friendly...i just absolutely LOVE cowl necks because it's sophisticated and still allow your necklace to show...
I've no idea WHY this top looks so bad on the model...it looks amazing in person and on me (which is rare because I struggle to find stuff that fits well for me)...love the cinched waist and looks like something I would pay for $100 at Club Monaco (quality isn't that high end of course but does look the part...i'll update you guys after a few wash...but i'm hopeful)...
Also it looks pretty sheer on the website pictures as well...I only saw charcoal in the store and was not sheer at all...
Best of all...only CAD$14.50!! I grabbed the last one in size small in the store...so definitely glad I dropped by the store after work n_n I'm seriously consider getting it in the remaining 2 colours (black and white...taking a chance on white because it might actually look sheer...)
Anyway I could not recommend this great buy enough...so be sure to check it out!!


Btw...just TODAY...Forever 21 website started doing what the A&F website does...which is redirectly Canadians back to the Cdn site x_x now I can't access the U.S. site...boo...since I usually checks out stuff on there too (great preview)~~and link you guys as well *SIGH*...

*~Milk Tea Favourites: Forever 21~*

gotta check out this look book (available online and in hardcopy)~~super cute styles for winter!! so tempted...

now on to some more budget favourites from forever 21...

Rustic Heart Necklace - USD$5.80 or CAD$6.80
this reminds me of sailor moon for some reason~~haha so it definitely hit a sweet spot with me instantly...absolutely adorable...definitely on my list!!

i think this is already sold out on the US site...so i would definitely grab this while it's still available...it looks super classy and pearls will look amazing with any winter outfits or dresses for those upcoming holiday parties~~
again couldn't find this on the US site anymore? but this is reminiscent of Tiffany & Co's style (similar to another heart necklace that is a look for less i featured a lil while ago) and quite classy yet has a lil bit of sparkle~~again great deal for under $5 only!!

i'm always up for some cute flats~~not up on the Cdn site yet...hope to see it soon~~

Rhinestone Heart Mirror - USD$3.80 or CAD$4.80
a family friend gave something very similar to me a few years ago- pretty sure it was much more pricier than this forever 21 version...hard to find a pocket mirror cuter than this style esp for under $5!

*~Grey Romance~*

even though sadly again...my size is nowhere to be found...i just had to share these cute shoes with you all~~very feminine and super cute bow...without being too over the top or burlesque-y...and under $40!! what more can you ask for when it comes to fall/winter pumps...

Velvet Bow Heels - Gray - USD$36.00
seriously!! if they had my size...i would totally snatch it up~~so nuff said LOL

also being the sales junkie that i am LOL...some more goodies...

Gold Star Satchel - USD$30.00 (orginally $60.00)
very good sale if u want this look for less (haha too lazy to search what the designer original bag is called)...but this is definitely a bag that has been adored by hollywood celebs...

Black Tie Affair Dress - USD$49.00 (orginally $98.00)
this is again a look for less kind of dress...reminds me of a dress that blair from gossip girl wore~~very cute pairing on the model too~~
Satin Lover Thigh High Boot - USD$44.00 (orginally $88.00)
not really my style BUT worth a feature for those of u who wants to try out this trend at a reasonable price...many sizes are still available~~


*~The List Continues...~*

counting down to my exam results release...lol i've been compiling a list of potential splurge items...here's my list so far~~haha already can't decide!! any advice from you girls? the dilemma is shoes vs. bags...somehow i think bags will probably last longer...

and then there was the prada bag i was pining for...


On a side note...i need some birthday gift ideas for my uncle AND my grandma...desperately in need of some suggestions!! i got my grandma a giant godiva gift basket last year and she loved it BUT i don't want to do the same thing again...but i haven't had something perfect in mind yet *SIGH*
