I'm a Gilly Hicks girl!!

So ever since I discovered Gilly Hicks on a work trip...I've been in love with it since!!
Really sad that we don't have one in Canada *but I think they do ship to canada and handles the tax stuff...I'm going to place an order soon for the bow cardigan below so I'll let you guys know!*
It's a much more price friendly option than A&F with the same A&F quality since it's the same company and I actually like Gilly Hicks' styles more (PLUS they've the best perfume and lingerie~~!!) So here's my top 5 picks for an everyday outfit!!

PYRMONT - $38.90

The bows on this cardigan is wayyy too cute!!

CHEEKY FLIP FLOPS - $34.50

OMG love the flower details...very flirty yet classy!!

ABBOTT PEAK - $49.50

such a cute floral dress for a great price...a great match with their lovely cardigans!!

DIAMOND BAY - $39.50

again this is the perfect cardigan~~for layering or pair it with jeans/dress/leggings!!
OXFORD STREET - $19.50

Finally...Gilly has tons of cute tees that are really good quality and I absolutely love them...this is one of my favourite right now!

Preppy-ness!

I absolutely adore preppy looks (which is probably why A&F is one of my fav brands!)
If you want a budget preppy look, I spotted some pieces from forever 21 that'll look great for summer/fall!! (actually perfect for back to school...but that's kind of depressing to mention...>_<)

*note that the links are too the Canadian forever 21 website --> which unfortunately has much less selection than the U.S. site >_< but you can search for them on the U.S. site*

Lightweight Plaid Shirt -CAD $13.50

PLUS a Varsity Cardigan on top -CAD $27.90

with a pair of everyday skinny jeans!

Fab Classic Skinny Jeans -CAD $17.50

*~Mock Look of the Day: Vivienne Westwood Melissa Flats~*

I love the Vivienne Westwood Melissa flats collaboration and they're super comfy and cute!!


I've spotted a more affordable option on ModCloth for only $30 that I'd like to share you guys!

Chic Look Under $75: Totally Forever 21

Forever 21 is super budget friendly and I've always found that I'm able to put together simple, sophisticated outfits from f21 pieces. I thought I'd share one look with you guys, let me know what you think!

Woven Jabot Ruffle Top - $19.80

*~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:

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!
