one for you, two for me

Helloo holidays! After finishing my last exam (miserably I might add) on Monday, I could not wait to finish my last bit of Christmas shopping. The next day, I hopped into my friend's car and we took off to do some shopping over the border. My original intent was to buy for others, but of course we all know how this story ends. Refer to pics/damage below:

Embarrassingly, all for me.

Garb from F21: Leather shorts, leggings, necklace, falsies

Just thought this was pretty:)

Damn you Nine West. Just as I think I'm done shoe purchases for the year, you come up with these spectacular glitter peeptoes.

Seriously, there were three colours: I ended up with the black and silver. Still thinking about the gold ones..

My boarding gear is complete! Welcome ThirtyTwo's Exus Smu's and new Anon Optics.

Aside from the boots being white and pink and match my board (heehee), check out the plush lining! So soft that it feels like you rubbed your face into a puppy or cat. And no, I didn't rub my face in these. At the store.

Nike running gloves. Motivation attempt.

Finally found my live-in plaid shirt at Abercrombie! And the grey baseball tee from the Men's section was on sale for $18. Will work as great pajamas.

Okay, so in my defense, there were awesome sales. And yes, I did purchase a bunch of stuff for others! ;) I am happy to say that my shopping is complete and I can now kick back with my 2:1 ratio of alcohol filled egg nog.

Not pictured: my sad wallet. Thank you America: although I will probably not eat for the next 6 months, my closet will be happy.

I hope all of you found amazing gifts and enjoying the holidays with the people you love :)

xoxo, amy.

big spender

No, not really. Quite the opposite in fact. This weekend, Urban Behaviour and Costa Blanca are both having their annual friends and family event. From Friday, November 12th to Monday, November 15th, you'll receive 50% off everything in the store.

Hoping to beat the rush, I went to UB today and it was Christmas holidays bizzee in there. With no change rooms open due to the event, I had to slip things on over my sweatshirt in hopes that it'll look better at home.
Tip: wear a thin top when you go to these things. How I don't remember this by now is beyond me. haha

Anyway, 2.5 hours later, I came home with these pretty things:

L-R: Floral ruffle top: UB | Shredded cardigan: UB | Blue feather earrings: UB | Trouser pants: F21 | Feather earrings: F21

Close-up of the floral top. Have yet to truly try this on, but the colour, print and ruffles? I made a beeline for it. $14.90

The cobalt blue colour caught me eye and after 50%, it was only $2.90. Will look light years better after I remove the rhinestone strings!

First thing I grabbed in the store. Love the shredded, broken look of the cardigan. $17.90

Okay, too broken. I didn't realize how big that hole was in the cardigan until I took this pic. I probably did this to myself when I tried to force it on top of my sweatshirt. hah

I ended up skipping Costa Blanca because it was packed to the brim in there. Oh, and it looked like there was only one mirror.

Finally jumping on the trouser wagon, I went to check out Zara. I thought I found the perfect one! Navy blue, hem looks good rolled up and down and a cute paperbag waist that just begs to be shown off. But when I turned around, (and ladies, always turn around) it made me look like I had a huge butt (and not the good kind). I should've taken a pic so you guys can laugh at my expense..

I ended the day with a routine stop at F21 and found a slim fit pair for $23.90. The waist detail is so adorable and best of all, the pants don't make my butt look big-ger. Yay.

And because I all of a sudden developed an obsession for feather earrings, I picked up another pair. hehe $4.90

The fact that they didn't look perfect made me want to buy them more.

So my grand total came out to be about $70. Not bad for a starving student;) Hope you guys are able to find some great things! Happy weekend loves!

xoxo, amy.

White Sangria at Ebisu on Robson.

There's nothing like a good drink and a sale to get the weekend started!

This weekend only, Forever 21 online is having a friends and family event: free shipping over $15 with CODE: FRIENDS10. We all know spending $15 at F21 can get you 8 shirts and probably a pair of shoes (I am pretty close). Sale ends 11/7!
