Hey guys! So just thought I would give you a little sneak peak into my new found “treasures”… the last picture shows a few of the things I picked up during Value Village’s Half Off sale ..so I got all of this for dirt cheap… I think the total came to $15? I found the most AMAZING studded vintage leather belt from Holt Renfrew (in my size …sweet!) and cant wait to come up with some outfits to wear it with … I’m picturing a loose draping top cinched at the waist with my over the knee boots and drainpipe jeans =) … The bag is made of solid leather and was just a simple piece that I thought would work well in my wardrobe….also got a pair of dress pants for work that are slim fit (fit just like my skinny jeans) and I love that they fit perfectly into my winter boots!
For the record; I thrift shop all over the place (I am around the city quite often from Mississauga to Brampton to Etobicoke to Toronto ….so if I have a few minutes to spare I might pop in… 15 minutes is usually sufficient for me :p). If you check out the Value Village website at http://valuevillage.ca/ there is a little search bar at the top where you can type ZIP/Postal code and find all the nearest locations near you..you can also get a heads up on the sales ;) … I always recommend switching up locations because obviously every store has different and unique merchandise… Goodwill and Salvation army are great too…I just don't have as much patience for those stores because I find they are not as well organized by size, colour and item as Value Village (in my opinion)…
Lastly, Check out the new lipstick! YES you guessed it ….it is the Limited Edition “Gaga” colour by MAC for their Viva Glam line (100% of the proceeds go to AIDS/HIV organizations)… shopping AND making a contribution? Check and Check =) … It is a more toned down version of one of my FAVE lipsticks which is MACs Saint Germaine (also LE) … If this interests you, I suggest picking one up quick because once they run out ..that's it..thats what I hate about finding a Limited Edition colour you love… :s..packaging is really sweet too!
Almost Valentines Day….Hope you are all feeling the Love =) XOX

No way, that bag looks expensive! Its so lovely! I have mostly slouchy totes and stuff, but Im getting into like sold leather/leather-like bags!
Love the picture of that lippie, I cant wait for it to hit my MAC store :D I wish they'd do like a whole Lady GaGa inspired range at MAC.. Like Hello Kitty or the Dame edna stuff!
Or they could just bring back Hello Kitty range! and make it permanent LOL

I love the lipstick, but I'm never sure I can pull of such a light shade, maybe this is the one to try?
