Milk Tea Favourites: Daily Top 3 from eBay

yay!! finally received my replacement credit card in the mail after i lost my wallet last week...so i can start online shopping again lol...here are today's top 3 favourites from my ebay browsing...

1) Canvas Tote
I spotted this canvas bag for only $20 (including shipping)...even though i'm super short...i love carrying relatively big bags...i have to say the blue one is my favourite!!

I like them mostly because they remind me of my A&F ones that i got in both blue and grey (sadly..my blue one broke on me a while ago...:*(


2) Maxi Dress
Maxi dresses are super popular this year...although i'm not particular a fan being only 5 feet tall haha this dress reminds me of a cecil mcbee dress that my friend bought for $200!! 0_0 you can grab this look for $30 n_n quite a fab deal! they also have it available in white as well...


3) Bow Denim Pumps
OMG haha i'm in love!! Too adorable for words...n how can i resist those bows!! Denim is also really popular this year too! I think these pumps go with everything...summer dresses...jeans...leggings! I like the lighter blue better...pairs well with the pearl details!



OR another alternative for girls who love flats like me...this is a similar look (n_n at a lower price too...):


~*From My Closet...*~

oo!! I just spotted this~~...I bought this exact bow belt in light tan brown for $12 when I was in San Francisco last last week visiting relatives...it's cuter in person and goes really well with dresses!!

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!!

The bows on this cardigan is wayyy too cute!!
OMG love the flower details...very flirty yet classy!!
such a cute floral dress for a great price...a great match with their lovely cardigans!!

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!

*~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
