Amber Mixed Bracelet Set - CAD$6.80

Elegant Rose Bracelet Set - CAD$6.80
the rose detail makes its 10x more feminine and definitely a unique set...
Pearl Necklace - USD$5.00
i love the single pearl...simple...

Pearl Bar Necklace - USD$7.00

*~Mock Look for Less~*

so fellow cardigan lovers...i came across this item on shopruche.com today and reminded me of a cardigan that i got in San Francisco a month back at forever 21 at a fraction of the price~~so i though i'd share this find with you guys~~
forever 21 did have this red and navy blue colour combo exactly like the shopruche piece when i picked up mine in grey and blue (see below) in store...but they seem to have sold out online? anyway i've included links to both the us and canadian (unforunately less colour available for Cdns x_x) version of the site n_n



From Forever 21: V-Neck Striped Cardigan - USD$14.50 OR CAD$17.50

*~...Pumpkin me up...~*

i know it's a tad early for halloween...but if you want an awesome costume~~it's definitely time to get thinking!! I just love these handmade halloween costumes and cute accessories by etsy seller: imyourpresent
And she does them to custom sizes n_n if the link shows that it's sold out...don't be shy and just msg her for a custom order~~

*~ModCloth Rant~*

ModCloth carries some amazing clothes but i've found that their prices tend to be a little higher (around 20%?) than other online retailers...here are a few sites that sometimes carry the same stuff at a lower price (and often in a different colour if you wanted more selection), so it's definitely good to do a little comparison shopping!
- www.lulus.com ---> i actually found out about this on www.perezhilton.com and you can use the discount code " PEREZ1" to get an extra 15% off n_n

*~New Wallet: STNY by Samantha Thavasa~*

I'm super duper excited/happy about getting a new wallet...muahah...it's STNY by Samantha Thavasa
I've been wanting a new wallet ever since my old one got stolen a couple weeks back and I don't want to use it anymore x_x haha YAY~~

lol it is pink but yeah bad webcam lighting~~it looks like what it does in the magazine...gotta love the white polka dot background too~~

it's super girly...and has monogram pattern which i'm a sucker for
but the best news is that...while samantha thavasa's goodies are super adorable, they're also super pricey *sigh*
lol BUT that's why I love japanese magazines~~
the wallet came free with July 2010's Steady~~jackpot!! lol...definitely a good day for me...
haha the magazine actually have like 10 pages of samantha thavasa goodies featured and the makeup bag/pencil case with the same pattern was around 5,500 yen 0_0
so I highly recommend it if you're a fan~~the wallet is big and room...n the quality is pretty good as well *not cheap looking, actually look like their regular collection*...you can probably buy the magazine for USD$15 or CAD$20 in those places that sell japanese magazines...or ebay is another option *~which is going to cost a little more but i say it's still worth it - just click on the link below~*


p.s. the magazine is a pretty good read too *esp for girls like me who just started working~*...and they usually give out decent freebies...i think i might pick it up from now on~~

*~Mock Look for Less: Plaid Scarf~*

so y'all know i'm a huge A&F junkie...and fall is rolling in around the corner...so n_n here goes~~
