clothing haul: jun 22/10

it was raining cats and dogs this afternoon so my family decided why not go to the mall seeing as everyone was home. i made purchases at four main stores: american eagle, ardene, bluenotes and stitches. my dad helped me out with my purchase at ae but i bought everything else on my own. i'm trying to save money this summer for the fall so i was being as money conscious as i possibly could today and with positive results :D

for a very long time now i've wanted to get a small purse for just money and maybe a tiny lipgloss for when i go out with friends to lunch or for walking around with. something cute with a long strap that i could swing across myself. luckily today at ardene they were having a 2 for $20 sale on all of their handbags. i bought these two lovelies and am completely in love with them!







i recently saw a friend of mine wearing a really cute, simple white bikini with flowers on it and thought, that is so cute! nothing crazy or complicated. just a white bikini with a simple flower print for a little something extra. since then i've been keeping my eye out for something similar because i've never really owned a swimsuit that i was head over heels in love with ... UNTIL NOW! i found pretty much the exact same bikini at bluenotes today for around $14 tax included! i am so happy with this purchase and cannot wait until i can show it off at the beach this summer!



i don't usually shop at american eagle because we didn't have one in town until recently. now that there is one so close, i feel the need to pop in their every so often to check out what they've got. i wasn't planning on buying anything today but by surprise i found this amazing jacket hidden in the sale rack. it was on sale for 20% off of the already marked down price! my dad bought me this, which i am very grateful for :)



my last purchase was from stitches. i don't remember the last time i bought something from stitches to be completely honest. i used to be in love with it when i was a lot younger, like ... grade 9? something like that. today however i found this lovely dress for around $17. they were having a sale which was something like buy one get another for a penny. i got this dress and my sister picked something up as well.



overall, today was an amazing clothing haul. i haven't done any serious shopping in a very long time. i won't be going again for a long time. i think i'm fine with that though ;)

pretty pictures.

i've been looking at a lot of blogs recently that only display pictures and i'm quite fond of them. sometimes i don't feel like reading a bunch of words and just want to be visually appealed.

today i've decided to copy some of the greats and simply post some pretty pictures that i've had saved in my pictures folder for some time and that i think deserve to be shared with all of you. enjoy it my lovelies and i will see you next time ;)

"a new way of style"

sooooooo long time no see. miss me? yes or no? of course no! no one reads this. who cares though? NOT ME. let's go!

so i've always loved shopping online but not actually buying the stuff. you know what i mean? like you feel like buying new clothes and you're bored but you have no money so you just go onto your favourite clothing store's website, look through some things, find some really nice things that you really like and would like to "buy" and drop them into your little shopping cart, having no intention of buying the items for real.

my favourite online store at the moment is YESSTYLE.com. my gawd this place is like a heaven on earth for people like me, and by people i mean obsessed with asian fashion and cutsie shit like that. this website ships clothes from around the world to you, mainly from asia though. south korea, hong kong, china, taiwan, you know! lots of my favourites like oversized hoodies with cute characters on them and shoesssss. what's great about this website for me is that i love oversized clothes and luckily enough, current asian style is basically all oversized! this means that all of the stuff that i'm interested in and want to "buy" is almost always one size fits all ahahahahaha so i never have to worry about sizes when picking stuff out! my fat ass will fit into everythingggg! muahahahahhahaha! i know, it's really not that funny, but i think it is so shush!

here are some of my absolute favs which are currently in my cart where they will gather dust but will forever remain beautiful.

everything is relatively cheap on the website and if you spend a certain amount of money on all your items, you get free shipping which helps A LOT... maybe i might just consider buying these things. i do have the money ... nah, i'm too cheap for online shopping. plus i don't have a credit card and in order to buy these things i would have to use my dad's which would never ever happen.

nice talking to you all again. to be continued? (i'm currently reading looking for alaska, you know the one!) xoxo
