luxury for less

I've been waiting for Joe Fresh to get their Fall/Winter stock after seeing these shirts in their holiday catalog and finally got them on Friday. The green silk shirt also comes in a soft bright pink, ivory and black but, I love the bright emerald green colour. It's so eye-catching and great for the holidays. The black lace shirt is very pretty as well. Of course, I'll have to wear a tank underneath or a vest over top for it to be suitable for work but I still love it nonetheless.

The price tag reads $49, but the shirt actually rung up on the register as $39. Quite happy about that! :)

 Already have a Gucci, so the next thing to purchase was a Louis.

Limited edition Louis Vuitton Monogram Zippy Wallet Illustré celebrates LV’s travel heritage with whimsical illustrations from 1909. Early Christmas present to me.

'Tis the season to whip out the credit card

November is usually the month of shopping events all over the city, which means early Christmas present shopping (well, this time around it was mostly for me, but next time!).

This year the GAP on Robson Street teamed up with The Style Spy to host a shopping party in store. Sweet treats were provided by Frankie's Candy Bar and Jones Soda, there were line-ups to the Blo braid bar, and the place was pumping with great music by DJ Ana. I bought a lovely metallic sweater and some thick sweater tights and got a swag bag which was great because I've been using the Goody hair spin pins constantly at work (the skoah products and the Louis Vuitton wallet were, of course, not a part of the swag bag, but was all purchased on the same day and I was too lazy to take separate photos.)

Afterwards, I stopped by skoah's 10-Year Birthday Party held at their flagship store in Yaletown where they were offering a free facial at their new South Granville location for every $70 purchase of skoah products. Love the skoah products! Stoked up on the Hydradew and the AHA mask since those are my go-to items that I use all year round to keep my skin moisturized and calm. Also got a few travel size products with my purchase: a small sample of AHA mask and a body lotion.These will be great for when I'm travelling, since my skin tends get irritated due to the change in environment (the recycled air in the plane, hard/soft water in the hotel and the air wreck havoc on my skin when I'm travelling).

trick or treat

Happy Halloween to all the tricksters and treaters out there! No matter how old you are, it's always fun to dress up and get free candy! But what's even better than dressing up and getting free candy? Going to the store on November 1st and finding all the candy on sale :D

;)

I needed a few things to bring my Halloween costume together and found them all and more at the Wink beauty event on Thursday. Loaded up on some new eye lashes to make the peepers pop, earrings and nail polish and after inhaling a large pumpkin cream chocolate cupcake and treat-sized candy bars, I decided to call it a night and head home before the pending sugar crash.

PS: Amidst my sugar high, I accidentally left my debit card at Wink. But, no worries, the sweet girls at Wink kept in the till for me and it is now safely snuggled back into my wallet. 

Everyone received a goodie bag with purchase, which was unexpected. Who doesn't like free stuff?!

The cosmetic bag, coupons, skincare and beauty samples, nail file and bath poof all came in the gift bag. The candy was added to the bag by me :)

Pretty earrings. Because I girl can never have too many earrings.
