Continuation of last weekend....

   Luckily, I saved some of last weekend's deals to share because I didn't get out much this weekend. Between the crappy weather and a headache, I stayed in for the most part. I'll start tonight's blog with showing you what Ken bought me at Newbury Comics last weekend. :) I bought him this same type of wallet for Christmas. It's called a Mighty Wallet and they have a website that explains their story. Their made of Tyvek which is a strong, water resistant paper and it stretches to what you put in it. They have lots of different designs though when I was looking I didn't see this one. Here it is:

       We also went to a new (to us) flea market last weekend in Providence. It was similar to what you'd see at the Raynham Flea market, so mostly new stuff and a lot of junk. There were a few booths with nice things there though and the reason that we went was to look at the new location of the animals from Regal Reptile. That was a waste of time because they just had a few snakes and then some guinea pigs and small pets. They weren't set up with what I expected. I was sad because Regal Reptile had some really cool snakes and they even had some alligators. Anyway, I did find some nice scarves for $5 each. They are a Pashmina blend which is super soft and they are both a leopard print. The first one is a grey on grey print so it is really subtle. I like it a lot but it's hard to get a good pic of. The second is purple and grey. Here are pics of both:

       We stopped in at Tealuxe after the flea market and then headed over to Second Time Around where I tried on a few things. They had a grey pencil skirt that I really liked that was Bebe but it didn't wow me as much as it needed to. I also tried on a pair of dress pants that were only a few dollars that turned out to be super long, like too long even for high heels. Then I tried on a pair of mustard colored corduroys from the Gap. Not only was it love at first sight, they were a perfect fit! They were one of the few things not marked down in the store (they were having a big sale) but at $19 I still couldn't go wrong. Here's a pic:

        Tonight's blast from the past item comes from my other favorite, and more affordable consignment shop, Ragz. I bought this sweatshirt maybe 5 or 6 months ago there for about $15 and it's from Victoria's Secret Pink. It's navy blue velour with fur inside the hood and it's fully lined to make it extra warm.  The zipper pull is a little heart and it has silver embroidery on the back. I took a pic so you could see the hood and the back of the sweatshirt. lol

         For today's deal of the day, I wanted to find a pair of winter boots. That turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. I did find a wintery pair for the deal of the day but not anything that I would be jumping around the snow in. I found these on 15dollarstore.com and they have 3" wedge heel. The height of the boot is about 11" and it has faux fur and a criss-crossed belt detail. You can't beat the price! Here's the link and a pic: http://15dollarstore.com/p/viva-secret-suedette-sasha-wedge-tall-boot-w-faux-fur-black-/3703703137102548

          While hunting for the deal of the day, I found today's wishlist item. These boots are boots that I could jump about in the snow in and are also still really cute. They are made by DC which I love for their sneakers and they have the logo on them. They have a rubber sole and faux fur top. The pic is of the black and silver but they have several color options. This pair is priced at $85. Here is the link and the pic: http://store.dcshoes.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11180357&camp=dcdid&gclid=COWM2_Dr560CFUFN4AodZALp4A

   Well, that's all for tonight. I apologize for any errors in tonight's post. I usually proof read before posting, but I'm going to sleep. Goodnight. :)

Winter Wonderful!

  I went to the Providence Place mall today...so Ken could go the Newbury Comics. After Newbury Comics, I stopped into Charlotte Russe. I hadn't been in there in a while since I've cut back a lot on my shopping and they were their $5-$10-$15 sale like they had last winter. I bought a pair of black tights with little gems on them-footless for $5. Here's a pic:

       

            I also found a really cute hat and mittens set for $5. All of their mittens, gloves, and winter hats were $5. They had some really cute stuff but I didn't really look at anything else after I saw this set. I think I have a bit of an owl obsession. You can't really see them in the picture, but the hat has sequins on it in between the owls. There is a pom pom on the top and on the end of the braids that hang from the ear flaps. Here's a pic and you can also find the set on their website:

    I didn't find any shoes that I had to have....thank goodness! They did have all of their flats on sale for $10 though. I did find a really sparkly belt. I've been on a belt kick lately too. I like to put a wide belt over a sweater-dress or a tunic top, especially if it's a little loose. This glittery leopard print belt was marked down to $4.99, which is about as much as I like to spend on a belt. They have a much better selection of sale belts online than what was in the store. Here's a pic:

        Last but not least, what I'd actually looked for at Forever 21 and struck out, hair accessories. :) Charlotte Russe had a section of headbands, bobby pins, clips, etc on sale for $2.99. I picked out these two 3 packs of bobby pins:

        

        That sums up my Charlotte Russe deal which I think was a really good one. The only reason that I'd tried Forever 21 first for hair accessories is that I've had really good luck there in the past. For example:

       I got these two a while ago and they're both really well made. The comb style clip is one of my favorites and I just got a compliment on the smaller one the last time I wore it. I'm pretty sure I got them for $1.99 each on sale.

      I do have another blast from the past item tonight with this winter weather. I've had to break out the really warm clothes, and even my winter boots. I bought these boots for $15 at a yard sale, and they're Coach with suede and real fur trim. They are super warm, and super comfy. That is why I have been wearing them most nights this past week. My only gripe is that I wish they were black instead of brown because I usually wear a black coat, but I really can't complain. Here's a pic:

      After briefly changing the subject, I'm going to bring it back the Charlotte Russe for the Deal of the Day. They have a ton of stuff on sale right now so I would recommend going into a store or checking out the site, but this is just one item I picked out from the site. This bootie is in one of my favorite colors-cobalt blue. They are a velvet fabric with a belted cuff and almond shaped toe. The heel is 4" with a 3/4" platform in the front. Here is a pic and the link:

       Keeping with the cold weather theme, tonight's wishlist item is a sweater-dress from Victoria's Secret. Even for the sale price of $69.50, this one will stay on the wishlist. It's nice to dream though. It's long sleeved, and long in general with 22" from the waist measurement-vs. most of the sweater-dresses which are 17". It has an all over cable knit and a turtle neck to keep you toasty. :) It comes in four colors but the orange is my favorite. Here's a pic and the link:

     Well, that's all for tonight. I'm going to curl up under my warm blankets and watch some Bones before I fall asleep.
