h&m sale haul***

so i woke up this morning, totally excited to post again. it was the same feeling i got when i used to read the gossip girl books. i was always so excited at night when my parents told me to go to bed because that was when i would get to read the books. i would think about it all day, and reading the next chapter always made my day complete. i think my blog will be the same way, which i am very excited about^^

yesterday i headed out to work an hour early and decided to shop around a bit. i work in the mall and in order to get to my particular store of employment i have to pass through a bunch of other stores, one being my favourite: h&m. i love h&m, it's definitely one of my top ten favourite stores to shop in. i usually just pass through the sale section because 1) it isn't very big and 2) i nearly get killed every single time i DO try to venture into the masses surrounding it. in the end, the sale section just does not work out for me. ever. however yesterday it was actually ... like, ok. not too, too many people and i was able to pick up a few items and take them back to the fitting rooms.

i ended up liking pretty much every piece i had! i really have been trying to watch my spending habits lately so i sat myself down in an empty corner in the children's section and just stared at the clothes i had in my hands. i ended up going with three pieces (i'll probably end up going back soon and purchasing the stuff i left behind, if they're still there). here are the items i chose, all on sale :D





1. super cute dress. could be born formal or casually. i've always liked this dress, even a long time ago when it first came out. i remember liking it from the start. it was originally $49.95 CAN and i got it for $15 CAN!





2. lace coverup. can be born undone or tied at the waist. it can really go with anything, probably even denim. i got it for $20 CAN.





3. black maxi dress. I LOVE THIS ONE. i wore it to work today and everyone else seemed to like it just as much. funny thing is it wasn't my intention to even try it on. i ran into a coworker and she was the one who told me i could pull it off so i tried it on, and i'm so happy that i did! it was originally 59.95 AND I GOT IT 50% OFF! i remember saying not too long ago that i hated any maxi-length dress. i take it ALL back now ;)

overall, very happy with my purchases from ye ol' h&m. i can aways trust them to make me feel good.

oh i am so very excited to post today! i actually cannot even believe that i remembered to do it. while i was on my hour and a half commute home from school last night, i was beginning to think that i would fail at blogging once again. i would forget to post today and the next day, and after a week, i would just abandon it altogether. but no! never! i am much too dedicated to do that! PLUS, i could be sleeping right now, another sweet two hours of sleep before i should be waking up to get ready for work but instead i am sitting on the toilet, writing my blog :)

so just the other day, i believe it was on monday that i was downtown and broke (as always!), but i felt like buying something (tell me if you know the feeling!) so i went inside of the ardene on yonge street, THE HUGE ASS ONE (i know, i'm pretty much a twelve year old stuck in a twenty year olds body, shuddup!). i went with the cheapest deal there that i could find: 5 for $10. i decided on 1 pair of knee high black socks for the winter to go over my already thick dance tights, a pink headband for those girly days, and some plain hair clips to keep my baby hairs from flying all over the freaking place. i only needed two more items and then i would be cashing out with FIVE ITEMS FOR $10!. only, i couldn't decide on what to pick. i thought about just getting more hair clips, you can never have enough black hair clips. that's when i came across these little beauties:



of course, right off the bat, they do not look like little beauties. at first they sort of look like things you use to torture people with. no, OH NO! they do so much more then that! THEY ARE AMAZING! they are long pieces of material with, get this, A WIRE INSIDE OF THEM. so you can tie them around your head, anywhere you want, however you want, and they'll stay right in place for you :)

BEFORE (boring, sad, tired looking bun)



AFTER (fab, pretty, girly looking bun!)





i know, right? they're great. i pretty much wear them every day now. i can't wait to get more. is ardene the only place you can get these things? i don't even know what they're called! i'm calling them ... BOWBANDS! bowbands, because whenever i wear them, i tie a cute little bow in the front, you know, because i'm cute like that tee hee :)

xoxo^^

ps. PLEASE IGNORE THE SAD LOOKING FACES IN THOSE PICTURES. it is currently 9:23am, so i'm a little tired, just a little. please don't judge meeeeee!

IT'S ALIVEEEEEE!~~~~~

is anyone there? oh, hey, sorry. i didn't realize that you were still around. you know, because its been about five months since i last posted anything on here. i pretty much fail at this whole blogging thing, don't it? i wish i didn't though. i wish i didn't suck at it so much. i really wanted it to work out for me this time. you know, after i changed the layout and everything. but i guess the appearance of my blog doesn't really have anything to do with the fact that i'm a lazy ass who doesn't know how to stick with something once she's started it. should i even try to start this thing up again?

i'm thinking i should, but my only reason being that i miss talking about fashion. i am currently working in retail, which is bringing my love of fashion back to life once again. seeing what my co-workers are wearing, seeing what the customers are wearing, being around so many beautiful pieces...it brings a tear to my eye just thinking about how incredibly BROKE i am at the moment and how much i want to buy absolutely EVERYTHING i work around. but i don't like to talk about money in relation to fashion. it just depresses me. what i enjoy to focus on in those situations is if i love the piece, i buy it. that's why i love fashion. i love fashion too much to not spend hundreds on it :) but this is also the reason why i'm BROKE all of the time! no more, no more of this talk. BLAH!

so i'm currently in class right now, so this is sort of a bad thing, restarting this blog right now. it will probably be filled with spelling mistakes and terrible phrasing, but oh well! who cares! fashion!

i will post again asap (only one more week left of the semester, week off, finals, BREAK).

xoxo ^^

ps. my obsession and inspiration in life (other than my parents!): susie bubble of style bubble. she has been my idol in terms of fashion since ... i can't even remember. maybe 2006 or 2007? i'm not sure. anyway, enjoy this adorable picture of her in her element: BLOGGING.
