*~Impulse Louboutins~*

My first pair of Christian Louboutins!! It was kind of an impulse buy...I went to Vaughan Mills mall today for a team meeting at Lucky Strikes and after the meeting, I shopped around with a friend and went to Holt Renfrew Last Call...and saw this pair of Louboutins for only CAD$259 (originally CAD$665!) It was too good of a deal to pass up...plus it's a classic colour and I just love the shape of the shoe. Very flattering...and I'm the type to like toe cleavage so it really was a nice buy! I wanted to buy the simple 100 in nude or black first but couldn't resist the price on this pair (plus I just checked...it's sold out online at Saks)...




A mini-stacked heel keeps this leather classic comfortable for the workplace or weekends.
  • Heel, 2¼" (60mm)
  • Round toe
  • Leather lining
  • Padded insole
  • Signature red leather sole
  • Made in Italy

Plus...I also bought the juicy couture polka dot wallet at Vaughan Mills as well! It was on clearance + an additional 30% off...originally CAD$128...and it was only CAD$45! I've been liking the polka dot collection for awhile...but the suede is hard to take clare off...I really like the pink colour and the french purse style BUT the ones in the store were very dirty already so doesn't seem like a good idea...so I went with this one! I wanted to get an investment piece for a wallet...but haven't had any good ideas yet (was looking at the louis vuitton french purse wallet but the opening to the coin purse was a little hard to open)...so this will do for now :)

*~Nude Bows~*

Aw these nude bow flats from asos.com (one of my favourite online places to shop from - the only site that offer free worldwide shipping) are so romantic n_n i think I'm in love~! Asos.com is great alternative from Topshop :) especially for Canadians...can't wait to see Topshop at the Bay soon though!



These are a great bargain from Forever 21 :) These also come in black but I think nude is cuter and more suitable for the coming seasons - summer & fall!

*~Laced Up~*

I went to Pacific Mall (in Toronto) the other day and still in my pirates mode :P and I just had to get one of those laced dresses! It's quite the trend these days...but most dresses are floral (which are nice but a bit too much for my style) so I snatched up this one for only CAD$55 (had to use my bargaining skills haha...was marked $88 down to $68...and the saleslady gave me an extra 20% off~~)! Let me know what you girls think!
There were several that I was interested in as well (one that looks similar to this) but didn't fit me since Pacific Mall usually has items that are "one size" or they have very few in stock :(



I also saw a few dresses that I liked on eBay (just click on the link and it'll lead you to the auction page!)

*~Ahoy Mateys!~*

just watched pirates of the caribbean last night in imax 3D~~was super impressed with the visual quality of imax 3D - definitely highly recommended~! i loved it!! STAY after the credits for an additional short scene :P love the sword fights & costumes - the mermaid scene was definitely a stand-out! While the plot was not as solid as the last movie, it was alright - the last movie's plot was a bit more complicated for me - it was still a movie worth seeing! On another note - i pretty much bought pretty much all of the OPI pirate of the caribbean collection - just had to have it!! I highly recommended the colours -> skull & glossbones, strangers tides, steady as she rose! Plus just grabbed the new kindaichi novels - have been waiting for new ones for a few years now - always take them so long to translate and publish!

keeping with the pirates theme - saw these really cute earrings!

*~Pink Pumps~*

i'm not really good at walking in heels...2 inch is the perfect height for me...so it's hard for me to find cute pumps that are not too high n_n just discovered this jeffrey campbell pair that i absolutely love!! i'm leaning towards pink...but neutrals work well too - what do you think? which colour should i go with?

*~Movies & Popcorn~*

a more personal post...
very excited for pirates of caribbean movie :)
lol had a mini movie marathon this weekend...
i highly recommend the Lincoln Lawyer - it's definitely better than i had expected :) i always like twists & turns n_n

i absolutely love adam sandler & jennifer aniston - so i definitely enjoyed Just Go With It as a light romantic comedy - nothing groundbreaking but it is decently average enough for a movie night


was my birthday celebration last weekend - some super amazing japanese cuisine at the new guu location in toronto (right at bathurst station)! definitely highly recommended!! you can check out their menu at http://guu-izakaya.com/
and i got a very lovely birthday surprise song & tiramisu cake!! lol they spelled my name wrong but it was too cute!!

*~Back!! New Flats n_n too lovely to pass up!!~*

Sorry gals!! I've been gone for so long - work just had me so busy and kind of stressed that I left this alone for a couple of months~~but I'm back and definitely will be updating regularly! n_n so I want to share with you gals a pair of flats I got at Pacific Mall recently for CAD$40 - it's super cute (love the bow + heart detail) and not for a bad price - the store I got it at is called LT (it's at unit A58) and the sales person is really nice (which is rare at Pacific Mall I find). Because I'm a size 35, I had to special order it (just came this weekend!! - $20 deposit down - so no worries about not having a pair in your size!) - it took 1 month to arrive but worth the wait! It comes in 3 colours (tan, coral pink, and black) - now I'm contemplating getting the other 2 colours too! I got them in tan because they're great for matching and for work. Pink is very romantic and perfect for spring and summer (hope the crappy weather in Toronto will be over soon...since we're already in May!) Black is always a classic - it wasn't my first choice because the bow details doesn't show up as much with black on black but I might go back and get it :) I also found them on ebay (just click on the pix n_n) -> usually items on ebay are at a cheaper price - but this time it's exactly the same price - but just wanted to share with you girls in case you want a pair!) - I found some similar style on yesstyle.com at around USD$70 which is a tad pricey and not as cute - so this is definitely a great deal! :)





I also found another great ebay seller with super cute shoes for a great price (most of them are under $40 including shipping) and is super unique! This pair reminds me of the oxford style and I gotta love the bow touch to it!!
