Vacation haul
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 what you think.
I had a bad day a few weeks ago, so my running buddy friend and I took off to the mall after work one day and dropped into Banana Republic (seen in Tuesday’s OOTD). I picked up a cardigan and belt for 40% off, and noticed they had some super cute shiny rings as well. I didn’t end up buying one but it was on my mind often.
Well the other day on my lunch break I went out to BR again and noticed they were having another sale for 30% off. I bought a non-wrinkle dress shirt in charcoal grey… it has a nice sheen to it and the Banana Republic shirts don’t come in sizes like XS, S, Med etc anymore. They come in 0,2,4,6 etc. Thank the lord — because I can now fit into a size and have it look tailored on me rather than just a regular boring shirt.
While I was at the cash register, the rings were popping and sparkling in their little wooden display boxes. So, I picked up this cutie patootie. Simple, kind of wedding-ish, but definitely pretty.
I bought it.
It reminds me of a wedding band. Ahem. Speaking of wedding bands and… engagement rings on Blue Nile’s website. I’d like to have one — size 5 please. Going through some styles online and I picked out a few fav’s because I’m girly like that. Did you know you could build your own? Clearly, I did not. How exciting!!
I like the princess (square diamond) cut, but I don’t like the diamonds sitting inside the white gold. It looks dirty or something.
I like them sitting ontop, but this isn’t princess cut. It’s circle. Circle rings are outdated to me, and I don’t like them. But there are plenty of styles on Blue Nile like: Asscher (hexagon shaped), Radient (rectangle with rounded edges), Princess (square) and Cushion (looks like a cushion but still sort of square lol).
This one screams perfect. I think. Who really knows unless you try it on, right? I think I like a lot of diamonds. Sparkly!! Eye catching. Drool worthy. I love it. Those all above are from Blue Nile, the bottom one’s are from Tiffany & Co. I’m not sure that I’m a fan of Tiffany & Co. because I was told before that the diamond isn’t as good as they can be.. and marked up too much just because it’s a Tiffany ring. Could very well be true/not true. But I don’t know anything about rings. But I know what styles I like!
COVERED in diamonds. Swoon! But $14,000? See what I mean? Why is it the cost of a car? It’s pretty, certainly gorgeous. But I bet you can get this for 14x less elsewhere, right? lol
What does your engagement ring look like, whether you have one or not — design it up and let me see!
Happy Friday the 13th!
Favorite outfits of summer

I honestly love posting my outfit of the work week as it motivates me to shop my own closet and pair together clothes that I never thought would work, and get into accessorizing more. It’s definitely helpful for someone as clueless as I am about fashion. That and the fact that I got a bunch of FANTASTIC ideas from the wonderful J at J’s Everyday Fashions. I probably need to branch out of flats and into some wedges. I’m going to find it very difficult to layer clothing so it’s not as bulky on me, during the fall and winter. That’s when things get out of hand for me, and I fall off the fashion-wagon. I need help!Â
