sunday errands grecian style: white dress and gladiator sandals

Happy Sunday!

Today I woke up to an intense heat as my room was engulfed with the afternoon heat bursting in from my windows.  It was only fitting as I had long been wishing for some sunshine and heat so that I can wear my summer clothes already lol.

I can honestly say that the one choice on my birthday weekend in Vegas has been such an important one since the sun started to shine around april....My ray-bans are godsend! The polarized lenses are actually my faves and unfortuantely, have resulted in my neglect of my Chanel sunnies.

Errands night: quickie mall run!

On thursday night, my boyfriend had his boys night out and i decided to use the time to make a quickie run to the mall to run some errands.  It was a quiet night for me lol but that was okay, it was much needed and deserved.  I was saving my energy for the upcoming weekend ahead anyways!

to find out what I wore...

Random Mini Haulage!

I went to the mall after dinner tonight, and well....temptation got the better of me! lol

I did a 'mini' haul of accessories today since I find that ever since my closet looks like it's about to burst, i feel like I must reduce the amount of article of clothing before committing to more purchases lol.

...to see what i bought, read on!

H&M: store opening

It's official, H&M is finally open at Metrotown!

Shop til' you drop! event

Calling all shoppers!! Loulou Mag is teaming up with Metrotown and Mastercard (it's the official shopping sponsor!) to bring Vancouverites Shop til' you drop!

If you're an avid reader of the magazine, then you'd know about this event months ahead.  The participating stores and the stamp card that comes with the shopping are on the website and the magazine I believe.

Get your shopping on, get some great deals and have a ball! =)

Happy Shopping!

Boxing Day madness!

My christmas eve dinner was not the greatest, but like all other family dinners, nothing is ever perfect.  There was fun and food to be had and we had our christmas greets as usual.  I was glad that my exchange gift was not a disappointment at all-considering I chose it lol.

Thanks "secret santa" lol...

I got the two out of three last empty spaces I needed to fill my whole palette =)  Mac pro palette refills in 'smut' and 'romp'.  I need one more!!



Anyways, today we braved the crowds and the fighting for parking spaces (think car-stalking) to shop our hearts out for the annual boxing day sales! =) This day is one of the only few times in the year that I will wake up early to shop!

Me in the morning, before changing =)

We shopped from 10:30am--scoring parking the instant we arrived--and going home at closing time.

While lining up at Zara, we thought we'd get some photo-op to make the time go by...We didn't really wait long so it wasn't so bad.  Lots of people at Zara--lots of markdowns but no crazy deals.


At bebe Metro...

Then after only one purchase, we thought we'd try our luck in downtown.  We figured that we'd have better luck on robson...

another photo-op!

and lunch at our annual lunch place for boxing day, A&W

At BCBG...

I love their skirts, and although normally fairly expensive, the boxing day sale of 50% made it all worth the trip!  I have wanted this skirt for a year now, and it was worth waiting for.

I also bought another dress at BEBE for a steal!

Another dress at French connection for a steal as well

Lastly--my beloved new coat (replacing the old cream coat--may you rest in peace) back at Zara metro:
