Happy New Year! I really can't believe it's January already, let alone 2012. It's true that time flies when you get older. When I was a kid time seemed to pass sooooo slowly, especially while in school and now years come and go just like that and it feels like I was 21 just yesterday! (Too bad I don't look twenty one.) Makes me really want to enjoy every single moment. Time is so precious.
This is what I wore to go shopping yesterday. I know in my last post I said I went shopping 3 days in a row over the Christmas break but I had more gift cards to spend so I went again this week, first to West Edmonton Mall and then to Southgate. Two malls in one day. Have you ever gone to two malls in one day? Do I have a shopping problem that requires in-patient treatment? I couldn't help it, there are so many great sales going on right now! Going forward though, I solemnly swear I will not shop for myself for at least a month. You heard it here first. Here are a couple of items I picked up:
Yup! A $5.00 purse from H & M! See? Good sales.
Dolce Vita shoes I purchased fromThe Bay for $62.00. Regularly $140 I believe.
I asked D. what he thought of these when I put them on and pranced around in our living room. He said, "They're interesting." I guess you either love 'em or hate 'em and I LOVE THEM!!
Well it's back to work and back to the daily grind for me. You too? I hope you are having a great start to 2012!
Great new layout! I am in love, I am also looking into doing something about my blog but not sure what, love your minimalistic blog banner!
ReplyDeleteAnd great bargains!

I love that jacket, looks amazing on you and the new boots are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely, my sweet! Happy new year! And cha-ching on your purchases, especially the bag! xx
ReplyDeleteWell I love your wedge booties! Also, cute little bag! Natasha and I have actually gone to 3 malls in a day, I would not recommend this for beginners it was exhausting!
ReplyDeleteI love your hair, and that clutch, and those shoes! Good finds!
ReplyDeleteYou actually look better than a 21yr old! This outfit shouts chic and sophisticated, really love the bold red colour of the jacket and if only I could get away with wearing hats :( D sounds like a typical bloke (well mine at least lol). Happy New Year :) x
ReplyDeleteI agree totally with you. I was having the exact conversation with JP on NYE about how time seems to be going by faster and faster each year I get older and that when I was little and in school time went by sooo slowly! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
