Joe Fresh Over-The-Knee Suede Boots, You're Finally Mine!

So I realize that I've been buying a lot of Joe Fresh Beauty/Clothes the past little while but I LOVE the line so much.  Not only is everything inexpensive but it's remarkably fantastic quality!  Anyway, as almost everyone knows (since I've been talking about it so much) over-the-knee boots have been on my fall wishlist.  Because I have larger calves (I like to blame all the ballet I've done for that), finding boots can be a bit of a challenge.  However, on a recent trip to the Joe Fresh boutique shop AND the States, I've found two amazing pairs (plus a few other things)..

Are these not adorable???  So, get this, they're real leather/suede, actually come all the way over my knee and only cost $89.  God, I love Joe Fresh.

These boots were an impulse buy because they only cost $20.  Yes, I said it, 20 bucks.  Whenever I go to Seattle, I always make it a point to go to Ross.  I know, it's a super cheap store and you have to spend loads of time digging through endless piles of clothes to find something good, but these boots fit me perfectly and I love that they're grey.  Such a good bargain.

This purse also came from Ross.  I should probably say that I'm not a label-snob and don't usually like GUESS bags as they're a bit too flashy for me but when I saw this one, it completely changed my mind.  I love this brown tote and the fact that it only cost $39.99 (instead of the usual $130) means I couldn't go wrong.

Last but not least, the cutest bike/ballerina necklace ever.  I ordered this through Etsy and picked it up from a mailbox I rent in the States.  I should say that it only cost me $5 (including shipping) and knew it was made for me when I saw the bike (Allan's favorite hobby) and a ballerina (ballet is my first love) combined on one vintage-y looking necklace.  I have been wearing it ever since I picked it up last weekend..

The fact that I found two pairs of over the knee boots has literally made me sooooo happy.  Sigh, I can't wait for fall so I can actually wear them

My First Etsy Earring Purchase

These past couple weeks have been filled with multiple "firsts" for me: moving into my (and Allan's) first owned condo, my first bout of dry skin, my first macro picture-taking experience and my very first etsy purchase. And, because the latter involves a fellow beauty product junkie, I can't wait to show you my purchase! Kenzie, from Bumblebee Tuna, is an absolutely awesome chick. I've gotten to know her quite well in the past couple weeks from emails back and forth about our lives and her fabulous earrings. See, Kenzie isn't only a beauty blogger but she also designs some very exceptional accessories. I'll be honest, I wanted to snap up every pair of earrings she had BUT I settled for two completely different pairs.

How cute is this box she sent everything in? Love the colors and pictures. Oh, and she also scribbled me a personalized message...love it.

Nothing beats the teal/purple combo and these cute earrings also have little hummingbirds dangling from chains.

I am in love with this pair. Nothing fancy and yet the color blue is just beautiful.

Oh, did I mention that, including shipping, I paid only $18? I know, right? I can't wait to purchase some more. Seriously, ladies, check out her blog and her earrings here and help a fellow Canadian out.... PS - these pictures were my first try at using the MACRO setting. Who knew that even existed? All this time, I thought I had a crappy camera but in fact, I didn't know how to use it. YAY for figuring things out!!! XO
