FOTD, Nails, Casual Outfit: A bit of red with a deal at Winners

I don't post a whole lot of "deals" that I manage to score at stores because Dale very much looks after me and spoils me with things. But I'll try to share with you any deals I can score!

In Canada we have a store called Winners and if you have time (and patience) to sift through racks and shelves, you can often find a great deal. 

Winners is sort of like Marshalls - which, I am happy to say, has arrived in Canada. 

Oh yeahhh! 

So look what I found at Winners the other week which I am happy about. 

I bought these using one of the gift certificates Dale got for me from Winners :) Such a sweetheart!

I loved the marked creasings and fades on these!

I love the black sequins on the back pockets of the jeans and there's even a bit of sequins on the front pockets too. They blend in really well since the jeans are a dark wash.

Yay! $16 for jeans?! I couldn't believe it LOL 

And I like how they look. Plus they are comfortable and the denim is soft. 

The brand of jeans is Almost Famous. I have not heard of this brand but these look better (and feel better) than a couple of my $180+ CDN pair of jeans. 

Have you heard of the brand Almost Famous Clothing?

So here's yesterday's FOTD, OOTD (with the new jeans) & Mani....a bit of red. 

Wore this casual outfit to meet clients

Red Checkered Shirt is from Forever21

Jeans are by Almost Famous

Heels are from Guess 

French manicured nails are by Revlon 

(the "medium length" nails are more conservative with Revlon - read, shorter) 

Soooo, I'm going to meet Dale today at the airport!! :) 

Gosh we are so last minute LOL We're still flying to New York tomorrow, however he might change our flight to stay one extra day in New York city...and during this weekend, we might make an overnight trip to Atlantic City New Jersey. I kind of like last minute changes - makes it more exciting!

 I'll take lots of pictures and share with you later :)

Have you scored any shopping deals recently??

OOTN & FOTN

It was so nice to catch up with friends on Friday night (thanks Rob!)  ;) 

We went to a club called Bar244. 

I really liked the music - lots of dance music! All drinks are cheap at $3-$4. I think the only turn off for me was the young crowd - it felt like a throwback to high school ten years ago. Okay, that would be cool only if I was ten years younger LOL 

Ah well, still had a fab time with friends and that's what counts :)

I haven't done an OOTN and FOTN post in a while so here is one for you (now you know why I was late ten minutes Rob haha)

I coloured my own hair earlier this week with L'oreal Feria #45 Deep Bronzed Brown.

If I stay within 1-2 shades of my natural hair colour, L'oreal Feria hair colour has never let me down. And even though my hair is a long length, I only need one Feria box dye

The eye shadow I have on is mainly MAC Nehru which I did a post on a few days ago here

The lashes I have on are my favourite pair! It's my trusty Ardell 107s and I've done a post on them here 

I layered two necklaces: one is Hello Kitty and the other is from Charlotte Russe 

I wore the Guess Kayla dress, which I'm not surprised to see they are sold out of

My purse is Steve Madden (I loveee the studs on this bag)

My heels are the Patent Uber Covered Platform Pump in Nude by Charlotte Russe (patent + nude + high heel = love at first sight for me! I have a shoe haul post coming up by the way)

These are the side slits in the Guess Kayla Dress. 

And these are all the accessories I had on last night :)

Not mentioned already is the Charlotte Russe bracelet to the far left.

The Bebe cuff bracelet (under the high heels) 

Both rings are from Forever21

My watch is from Guess

Do you like seeing these type of posts? 

If so, I will try to do them more often....

And how is your weekend coming along? :)

Weekend - sister's birthday, Saturday OOTD

My older sister's 35th Birthday was on Sunday :) Unfortunately she wasn't feeling well & was down with a cold so we skipped family dinner plans. I still got a yummy slice of cake though! Thursday night I went to C Lounge nightclub. I don't have any pictures, but it was dead there. The club's ambiance is much nicer than Brant House (love the palm trees and shallow pool on the patio!) - and the

Hanging out at Evgueni's studio

I took a 15-20 minute stroll to Evgueni's place yesterday evening. I really love the city lights at night. And for a big city, Toronto is so nice and quiet on a weekday evening in the Yorkville area (downtown Toronto's high end boutiques/condo living). Especially in windy/chilly weather like last night.Since there were very few people around last evening, I took a few pictures. (above): Bloor

A bit of Hello Kitty & a F21 dress

When I was in Grove City, Pennsylvania early April I went into a store called Fuzziwig's Candy Factory. A small selection of Hello Kitty items were at the store window and I got a few things :) I got a clear water bottle. I like how the cap is attached to the bottle so I don't have to worry about dropping the cap when I uncap the bottle. And I got three key caps. You attach them onto the top

Saturday - Astoria & Brant House

When I dine out with my parents we usually have (1) Greek food (2) Chinese food or (3) Fish and Chips. With my friends I usually have (1) steak or (2) Japanese. Do you have a favourite ethnic food? This was a picture I took while we were driving home from the

MAC Atlantic Blue + Winterlicious 2010

I picked up MAC Atlantic Blue eye shadow a couple of weeks ago.I was in search of a blue eye shadow that really suits me and I think this is it.It is a matte finish. The only thing slightly negative about this eye shadow is that I wish the colour would apply easier - like see the swatch on my hand? It took about 3-4 swipes of eye shadow layered to get that intensity. The only eye shadow I'm

A few things from F21

It's mid week! I hope you're having a lovely week so far :)I put that $200 gift certificate to Forever21 to good use (thank you Dale!). I did pretty darn well if I do say so myself. The total with tax came to $208.26 CDN. I don't know where else I could have gone to get more clothes than F21 for the same amount.My eye shadow was simple in the pictures - just one colour MAC Swiss Chocolate. It's a

Hello! How is your week coming along?I've just started to get the hang of writing the year 2010 and now, I'm going through a "I can't believe it's February" phase LOL.
