[OUTFIT] West Coast Purchases

To go along with my $25 vintage finds from Value Village in Victoria, I wanted to share with you what else I got when I was out West! I didn't get everything photographed, but I wanted to share with you some of the other pieces. I'll do another post soon enough with the others, I promise! In this post I'm missing two pairs of shoes and a couple of t-shirts. At least they'll be another outfit post to come! Let me know what you think :)

[VIDEO] Free People's Roshambo

I wanted to share with you Free People's first short film. Perfect for Valentine's Day, the film is about a love story set in Brooklyn. All of Sheila Marquez's clothing is from Free People spring collection. It's absolutely adorable and a must watch!

[OUTFIT] Value Village Outfit for $25!

I was at Value Village in Victoria yesterday and managed to put a whole outfit together for $25! (The necklace and tights are excluded...but shh) One good way to find a nice oversized dress? Check out the women's blouses in large and XL! They'll usually be long enough. This one does happen to have shoulder pads. I thought about cutting them out, I may still do it, but they're not that big and they give a subtle strong shoulder. I then found these AMAZING Nine West shoes, and I absolutely had to get them. The right shoe does have some water stains on it, but I'm sure I can fix that! I also managed to get $2 off of them because of the stains (hourray for bargaining!). For jewelry I found this very cute dainty bracelet with a blue stone. It's a nice touch of colour to my usual silver and brown bracelets. I couldn't leave VV without a pair of retro looking earrings.

THIS IS MY 300th POST! WOOOAH


Blouse/dress - $7.99
Shoes - $12.50
Earrings - $2.99
Bracelet - $1.99

[CHALLENGE] February

On to the February challenge! I mentioned that I would do one craft/DIY a week for the month. Unfortunately, I will not be back home until the the first week of February is over. So I will do 3 crafts/DIY's for the last 3 weeks! I hope that's alright with you guys. I will pick a craft/DIY a week online, show my step by step process, as well as the end result! I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun, and hopefully I'll be able to inspire some of you.

(if you want to see the result of the January challenge, check out the previous post!)
