*~Milk Tea Picks: Cardigans from Urban Outfiters~*

I'm also a huge cardigan junkie and I've always found that Urban Outfitters (especially the silence + noise brand!!) carry some really nice ones that can become a staple to any girl's wardrobe~~so here's my top 3 picks!!

Silence + Noise Cocoon Cardigan - $48

On my wish list...

Staring at Stars Sheer Ruffle Cardigan - $42

Btw...if you're in Toronto...the urban outfitters near eaton centre has a HUGE sale and i was able to grab this cardigan for only $10!!

Silence & Noise Pointelle Sweater - $48

This I got for regular price but I absolutely love it - great for the office as well!!



*~Mock Look of the Day: Lanvin Ballet Flats~*


I'm absolutely obssessed with flats (it's pretty much all I wear!!)
If you're looking for your basic black flats, the Lanvin ballet flats are a dream as a great investment piece. But $500 is a pretty big investment --> so I've come up with some options!!


Gap - The City Flat - $39.50Nine West - ROTNEI - $49.99

I love the reptile-y texture of these flats and personally, I've found Nine West shoes in general to be super comfy and style-ish!


H&M
H&M doesn't have an online shopping website for North America BUT I've bought really COMFY (way comfier than most brands and what I had expected) from their children's department for only $15!

*TIP: I'm a women's size 5 and I can fit between a kids' size 2.5 to 3, so you most likely can actually fit in kids sizes if you're a size 6.5 or under!*



Replica Budget Outfit (fab looks for less): TopShop Dress

I spotted this Topshop dress awhile back and is simply in love with it (unfortunately now sold out)...but it was a tad pricey so here I've done a replica of it when more budget-friendly pieces n_n let me know what you guys think!

TopShop Dress - $122.00:

Replica Budget Friendly Outfit - $23.49 (savings of $95.50):

Pink Tank Top from Charlotte Russe - $2.99


Belt from American Apparel - $10.

Online Shopping Junkie's Favourite eBay Sellers n_n

Hi all n_n being the online shopping junkie that I am...I'm always on the look out for great deals and ebay is definitely my favourite place to shop (since not many sites ship to canada sadly...really wished i lived in the states!!)

Just wanted to share some of my favourite sellers (probably the best prices you'll find...since I'm a bargain hunter n_n) and some of the great deals I've come acrossed while I'm online window shopping (my wallet got stolen last weekend >_<

1) Beauty Desire
Sells the cutest bows accessories ever (i.e. bow hair bands , bow ponytail holders , bow necklaces etc.)

2) Japan/Asian Brand Makeup
Being in Toronto, there's tons of japanese cosmetics stuff that I can get at Pacific Mall and other asian places BUT I've definitely found purchasing online is on average 25% cheaper (except for masks...)!!
I'm in love with the Dolly Wink Liquid Black/Brown Eyeliner :)

3) Lolita/Cosplay Clothing & Accessories --> Mystere Wonderland
OMG they've such a great selection and at really reasonable prices as well 0_0 I discovered this after going to an anime convention in town...my absolute fav is their dresses!!

4) Vintage Louis Vuitton Goodies from Japan --> yajima_kintaro
Louis Vuitton hangbags are a classic that compliment every outfit and vintage styles are simply the best and this seller is reputable and has a great selection (if you've patience...sometimes you can really get a great bargain~~I bought a blue epi speedy 25 for around $300 in really good condition n_n a while back...) Just make sure you take into consideration of customs/taxes when you're buying from international sellers!
