Anthro window shopping

3 Comments

So I’ve been pretty ill the past few days, I think it all started Saturday afternoon when I couldn’t get this nasty taste of vom out of my mouth each time I swallowed. Yesterday was much worse, and I was keeling over in pain. I don’t know if it was something I ate/drank. It was not a good day.  Nobody really wants to hear any more detailed information, so I’ll talk about clothes I want. That’s always fun, right?

It was bound to happen. I haven’t done a wish list in a long time. Even though I only recently got back from vacation, there’s still things on a girls mind you know!

Dwarf Quince Cardigan ($118). I saw about 3 people in the Anthro store snag one and I decided to try it on in the store as well. I wouldn’t pay the money for this one since it’s not really my style, but it looked very smart when I tried it on!

Molded & Melded Tee ($58) Also tried this top on in stores, but didn’t purchase it because I didn’t want to go wild and spend a whole pay cheque in the store. I like this in the beigey grey/brown color too.

Twist Of Fate Cardi ($138) WANT. WANT!! I tried this beautiful numbah on, and fell in love. Unfortch I can’t fathom paying that much for a thin piece of cotton fabric. It’s beautilicious on me too, ain’t it? :)


Buoyant Bunches Cardi ($88)Uh, clearly I’m a fan of long cardigans this season hey? I tried this on in the stores too (Hey, I was in there for a good hour or more!) and loved it. Though I felt it reminded me of this cardigan I already have. But maybe this one pictured is nicer? I want it :(

Wild Bunch Tank ($118) That much for a stupid tank top? Oh puhlease. I know Anthro makes quality clothing but seriously? I still can’t stop staring at it though.

Vacation haul

6 Comments

Poor quality photos, but you’ll see me wearing these in some OOTWW (Outfit of the Work Week) and get a better look at them.

  • The three triangle items on the right are all from Anthropologie.
  • Black tee on top is a purchase made at Ironman Canada booth. The back says “PAIN IS ONLY A STATE OF MIND” :)
  • Underneath that black IMC top is a cozy North Face sweater purchased from SportChek. It was originally $79.99, and since I knew the Alberta sales tax was just 5% instead of Ontario’s 13% I went for it. About to pay, the woman told me I only owed $66!! It was on sale!!
  • The blue sweatshirt is from Forever 21 and it has the neck “cut off” it (does that make sense?) it was $18 or so…
  • Three white tops from Forever 21 at $4.40, and $5.50: white vneck, white crew neck, white racer back tank.
  • I purchased 2 long cardigans also from Forever 21… they were $7.50 each!! If they had more nicer colors I would have bought all of them. But I don’t like maroon or an ugly green color.

Closeup of my Anthropologie purchases. Top one is a cardigan that I wore on Friday, the colorful capped sleeved tee I wore underneath a cardy on Thursday. The pink/red striped item is a tank which was on sale.

There was a Sugoi store in the West Edmonton Mall that was closing and the owner is opening his own Online store with his own gear (not sugoi), so he took our e-mail addresses down and will notify us of when it’s going up! We were chatting with him for ages. Everything inside the store was 50% off, so I grabbed everything in my size and tried it on. A lot of things just didn’t fit well, and I’m not going to buy it just because it was on sale — but a few things surprised me. Like this yellow tank? Who knew I looked good in yellow! Both of these tops I’ll be using for running and working out at the gym.

See a Sephora bag there? That was my second stop of the day when I had the whole afternoon to shop at West Edmonton Mall. I bought Laura Mercier foundation, and a cuticle pen (since I’m dry as a lizard). The blocks on the right are canvases but made out of wood instead of… canvas. Then I purchased some manga pens and a super cute purple marker with a tip on each end. The DeSerres art store had a sale.

I also went to Purdy’s chocolate store 3 or 4 times, and each time I bought something. That’s my stash. Mmm…chocolates. I just went to their website and a Purdy’s Chocolate store is now open at Union Station in Toronto. Uh oh.

Of course I went to Victoria Secret. I went there twice in fact, and wanted to buy everything. Except that store”s items are pricier than other lingerie stores. But whatever, I went with it. Bought some comfortable bras and undies.  Aren’t they pretty!!!!??? I especially love the floral bra, and I love the charcoal colored one too. Silky…

Alright, that’s all I have to say for today. Super long post, but still exciting, right?

Not loving the fall weather that has come down on us all of a sudden. I still need to go to this little old Italian tailor that my friend recommended me to months ago, so I can get my pants hemmed up before winter! I dislike wearing heels all the time, and since I have two pairs of granny heels I’m just not fond of the way they look anymore.

What is everyone up to this weekend? I think we’re heading out to test drive a subaru that my Boyf is looking at purchasing.
