Fall Frenzy

Okay, I blame no one but myself for the fact that I am broke! Being a university student, I am totally hoping my OSAP will kick in soon so I can buy some of the textbooks that I am in desperate need of (I thought it was supposed to be in by now but my plan clearly backfired). My pay day is tomorrow and I can already say that all most of it will be going to my already maxed out visa (thank God my limit is very low). So why am I so broke? I think the photos below already explain that! Oh well, until next time happy shopping studying xo

From left to right: Urban Outfitters Graphic Tank, Aritzia "Wilred" Woven Scarf, Aritzia "Wilfred" Cabash Pants in Breen, Brandy Melville Oversized Knit Cardigan, Bullet and Quartz Necklace (seen below), Zara DIT frayed shorts, Aritzia "Wilfred" Black Castel Sweater
Urban Outfitters Tank. No idea what this says but I just loved it!
Brandy Melville is my all time new favourite shop in Toronto! It's located on Queen Street and it's exactly my style. Def worth checking out!
Aritzia "Wilfred' Woven Scarf. Yes, I'm aware I have this in the other colour but I absolutely adore this one! Can't wait to wear it this fall.
Horrid photo but here are my Zara DIY frayed shorts. Took me a while to do them and there's a biiig mistake on it (that's what happens when you cut TOO much) but I'm actually very proud of my little piece.

Trinkets & Things

Just came back from a hectic day at work and decided to share with you guys two new little trinkets I recently purchased and received! The first is a brass bullet and quartz necklace that I bought off a personal business in Vancouver. I absolutely love this necklace because it's so unique! I have to admit though, the finishings on it are not the nicest or the cleanest (the person who made these ran out of the regular quartz size and had to carve a larger size to fit the bullet chain) but I think I can overlook it. Actually, I think its flaws make that much more rustic and unique (trying to sound optimistic here!) Anyways, the second thing I bought is a Hamsa hand gold bracelet bought and made all the way from Korea. I actually bought it off Etsy, and seeing as it was my first purchase from there, I can say I am quite pleased! Again, its only real flaw is that the chain is quite thin and fragile but nothing I can't overlook. Really happy with my purchases and as you can tell by my writing...it's time for some rest and relaxation! xo

August Haul

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posts lately! I've been ubberly busy (haven't we all?) and have lacked the energy to update my blog! Anywho, here are just a few purchases I bought in the month of August! School is just around the corner and I really need to start stocking up on some new fall clothing. Can't wait for my favourite season of the year xo,

From left to right: Aritzia "Wilfred" Silk Slip, Evil Twin Cardigan, Aritzia "Wilfred" Marais Pant, Aritzia "Wilfred" Crepe Pant, American Apparel Circle Skirt, Aritzia "Wilfred" Silk Shirt, Aldo "Corinette" Studded Loafers, Dark Red Nail Polish, Top Coat Nail Polish, Little Burgundy Cross Hand Chain, Little Burgundy Silver Claw Ring
My two new pants! I know in my earlier post I had the Marais Pant in camel, but I decided to switch it to black so I could wear it to work! Works out perfectly, since I ended up getting the Crepe Pant in brown!
New silk slip. I actually have this in black but I think I'm just going to tuck this into some high-waisted shorts and pull it off as a tank. White is waaay too see through. On another note, this leopard cardigan has already been on my body twice and I just purchased it a few days ago! Pretty much my favourite piece right now.
These shoes have finally arrived after 2 weeks of waiting! I absolutely adore them and while I struggled between this one or the black, I'm happy I went with the more feminine one of the two :)
Little Burgundy I love you. I definitely needed more silver pieces in my wardrobe and with this, I'm happy to say I'm adjusting to the silver change quite nicely!
Finally, a dark red nail polish! I've been needing one for the longest time! And on top of that, I needed a top base coat to help my nails remain nice and chip free throughout the week! Luckily for me, these were on sale at the CNE for less that $2 a piece! Joy!

For the Love of Melrose

Hey lovelies! It's a beautiful day in Toronto and I thought I'd share with you guys my recent purchases of July. I came across this super cute website on the internet called http://www.lovemelrose.com/ and have fallen in love with it ever since! I managed to snatch a black sheer skull button down, A YSL replica ring (I have to resell though, it's waaaaay too big) and a silver pyramid necklace (with earrings) at a great sale price and loved them so much, I ended up wearing them on my first day of receiving! I will definitely do business with them again, as I paid nothing for shipping (includes purchases over $50) and nothing for duty! Next on my recent purchases I also managed to finally purchase the Aritzia "Wilfred" Marais Silk Pant in winter camel and a basic Zara cream knit top. I think I'm slowly thinking about Fall, but I can't help it, it's my favourite season! Anyways, here's hoping you enjoy what's left of summer! Big xo!

Excess Accessories

I seriously do not know where the inspiration for this post came from, but today I decided to share with you guys my accessory haul (slash hoarder edition)! As you can plainly see below, I have this thing for gold jewellery but in all honesty, I've been trying to add some silver pieces into my collection (with no such luck). I tend to gravitate towards pieces that either incorporate some sort of tribal theme or really anything that's sort of unique and edgy (errrg, that word again)! Anyways, here's hoping you're all enjoying your Tuesday morning! Leave me a message telling me what's an accessory you can't live without! Ciao for now xo

Sale Season

Hey lovelies, sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've finally started by new job at The Bay and to tell you the truth, my outfits have been consisting of all black recently! (damn dress code) But this week I've finally had the chance to do a little shopping and yes, can you believe it? It's finally sale season! The time where every store sends you mass amounts of e-mails telling you to "come on it and shop shop shop!" and those big red letters on the window front lure you in to spend money you already don't have! It truly is, the most wonderful time of the year (sorry Christmas). Anyways, hope you're all taking advantage of the sale season but until next time, happy shopping! 

1. Urban Outfitters High-Waisted Jean Shorts- originally $59 and on sale for $39
1. Aritzia "Wilfred" Snakeskin High-Waisted Silk Shorts- originally $115 and on sale for $65 (purchase by my boyfriend, John! Thank you hunny!)
2. Aritzia "Wilfred" Basic Black Silk Tank- originally $85 but on sale for $45 (phew, had a giftcard!)
My new summer pieces! Can't wait to wear them!

All For The Best

So yesterday, my boyfriend and I headed downtown to the Eaton Centre to do some shopping for ourselves and loved ones. I was originally supposed to meet up with a seller yesterday for my Alexander McQueen Scarf but she ended up being a total and complete flop (kinda fishy). I have to admit, I was kind of upset but we soon realized my money could be better spent on a lot more smaller items. In reality, it was the price that first intrigued me about the scarf but after having some doubts, everything worked out in the end. I ended up getting two little rings that I thought were both unique and cute and I cannot wait to wear them! I will definitely have to get more silver jewellery pieces to match with my wolf ring but I don't mind! The one on the left is from Forever 21 and the one on the right is from Little Burgundy (I was really surprised at the pretty pieces they had). Anyways, have a lovely day readers, xo!

Stoked About Spikes

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a fabulous start to the week...because I know I am! My ASOS "Spike Stretch Bracelets" came in the mail today and I am totally in love with my new pieces! I actually ordered these a week and a half ago (when I had mulah) and this came at the perfect time (as I am completely broke). The box that came in the mail today was actually quite big and I couldn't fathom what I could have possibly ordered. But I guess that just shows the care ASOS puts in when delivering your items (now I have a bunch of bubble wrap and cardboard pieces in my living room LOL). Anyways, these came in super shiny, clean and in mint condition and I plan to keep it that way! To say the least, I am so excited to wear these! Also if you'd like to purchase these, I provided the link below to the website! Have a lovely week readers xo




BUY HERE

Day & Night

So yesterday I finally had the chance to pick up a few items at Aritzia I've been eyeing for quite some time now and I must say, looking at them side by side I really cannot decipher my sense of taste. On the left side, I special ordered in this beautiful silk "Wilfred" lightweight camisole in an abstract/tribal print. I actually wanted this several months ago (with my boyfriend even offering to buy it for me right on the spot) but I reluctantly said no. Unfortunately, a few weeks later they were all sold out so I had to order this in again with a few weeks wait. So ladies (or gents) my biggest advice of the day for you is if you have the money now...buy it! I always make the dreaded mistake of thinking "ohhh...I'll just get it next time" and then BAM!* next time comes and it's sold out! Anyways, next on the right I also picked up this "Talula" oversized skull tank with low arm holes. As you can probably tell from my previous posts, I've outworn my white wolf tank and needed something different! I've actually wanted this since I worked at Aritzia but again...we sold out =.=" I love this tank though because it's edgy without being...uh scary LOL or too offensive. I recently ordered in spike bracelets so this will go perfect with it! Anyways, "big up's" to my lovely best friend Irene who have me a gift card to Aritzia for my birthday so that I could finally buy something (being the broke bhum I am)! Happy shopping readers, xo

House of Harlow

Finally, I have received my 5 leather station necklace from the House of Harlow jewellery line and I could not be happoer! After seeing so many people at my old work, Aritzia, wear this lovely piece I finally broke down and bought one! The package came yesterday in the mail (several weeks before it said it would be here) and I've already worn in two days in a row. This will definitely be one of my closet staples! What your favourite jewellery piece? Have a lovely weekend  xo,

Sorry for the horrible shot on my living room floor. I was in a rush!
