WINTER JACKETS

It feels like it's been getting colder and colder here in Vancouver. I HATE IT!! I have a low body temperature as it is and so I am cold 24/7. I think that it's time to buy another winter jacket. You can never have too many in my opinion... especially when you live in cold, gloomy, Vancouver. 

As of this moment, there are 3 winter jackets of mine which I wear quite often. I usually buy my winter jackets + my leather jackets from this Canadian brand called Mackage (Go Canada!). I think that their down jackets are  really warm and at the same time they are really cute :D I have one bomber-style jacket from them (which I usually wear when I am scrubbed out) and another jacket which is longer and more formal.

Joey Jacket by Mackage

$550 CAD (BUY SIMILAR HERE)

This jacket is great for everyday wear. 

You can dress it up with skinny jeans and Loubs, or play it down with sweats and sneakers.

Magda Jacket by Mackage

$610 CAD

I wear this jacket when I am more dressed up.

I love how the collar is lined with fur because it keeps me extra warm ;)

I got this on sale during the online winter sale but I can't remember for how much.

I think I paid around $400??

Parka by Aritzia (dunno the style)

$275 CAD (BUY SIMILAR HERE)

I bought this recently over the summer at the warehouse sale for only $99 :D

It was honestly such a good deal! It's warm but not as warm as my Mackage jackets.

I like how it is long because it keeps part of my legs dry from the rain

JACKET THAT I AM GOING TO BUY:

Adali Jacket by Mackage

$640 CAD (BUY HERE)

I am in love with this jacket. I like the fur trim and the dark blue color.

My boyfriend owes me a Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gift (they were pretty much all on the same day)

and so I asked him to get me this jacket. Can't wait to rock it in this cold ass weather!

SOME OTHER JACKETS WORTH MENTIONING:

Chadi Jacket by Rudsak
$595 CAD (BUY HERE)
FYI: Rudsak is another Canadian company!

Gloria Jacket by Rudsak

$425 CAD (BUY HERE)

Deena Jacket by Rudsak 

$745 CAD (BUY HERE)

OK... some people may think that this jacket is really tacky

But like I said... I really like fur trim lol

Chilliwack Bomber by Canada Goose 

$600 CAD (BUY HERE)

Another Canadian company... yay!

 I swear this post is turning into a Canadian company promotion. 

Apparently this jacket is the WARMEST of the WARMEST!

It comes in a ton of cool colors too (here are my 4 fave)

What do you guys think of the hot pink one? It would be so cute to wear snowboarding IMO.

ADD Jackets

$???? (I can't find any for purchase online)

ADD is an Italian brand. You are able to buy these jackets at a few stores here in

Vancouver such as Holt Renfrew or Bluebird, but I can't seem to find any online.

I love these two styles because of the belts that they come with.

IPHONE CASES

I went a little psychotic just now and spontaneously bought 3 new iPhone cases off of Ebay. 

What do you guys think?

I'm in love with the Marc Jacobs one!

I'M FAMOUS!

Turns out that me and my sister were actually in the news. We ended up being in 3 different scenes for GlobalTV noon hour. WE FAMOUS YO!! (the scene where we are standing outside at 6am is a tad bit embarrassing though haha)

LULULEMON WAREHOUSE SALE

The only time where me and my sister will willingly wake up at 5am... is when there is a warehouse sale. LOL! This year, Vancouver got to host the Lululemon Warehouse sale (which is a rare thing) and since I am in total fitness mode, I just hadddddddddddd to go. If you are in the Vancouver area then you have probably already heard about the sale since it has been all over the news, but if not, then you still have tomorrow as it is the last day!

FYI: my sister and I are hardcore warehouse-salers (I coined this term myself). There are only a few warehouse sales that we go to every year. I would say that we are pretty professional at what we do lol. The lululemon sale didn't start until 8am yet we were up at 5am, arrived at the place by 6am to be one of the first people in line, waited 2 hours in the freezing cold, and attacked those sale racks once we were in! It's important to leave your bag at home because you have to coatcheck your bag and jacket anyways. I kept my credit cards in my Louis Vuitton keychain, and then I hooked my keychain around my watch so that I didn't have to hold onto it while I shopped. Pretty creative huh? After 3 hours of shopping and scrimaging around, I left with 5 items for $130, my sister bought 7 items for $180, and my gf bought 7 items for $370 (4 cropped workout pants + 3 long-sleeved tops).

My snazzy dazzy key holder haha! 

Apparently this was completely filled up for hours. The lineup to get in was over an hour long. 

Global TV decided to come and film all the keen shoppers! My sister and I refused to be seen on TV so we tried to run away when the reporter asked us a few questions.

Headband - $4.00 CAD

DRESS LIKE KYLE & KENDAL

So today was my last day of a 2 week orientation to term 5 of the nursing program that I am in. Let's just say that it was a looooooooooooong 2 weeks of staring into space and shopping online to keep myself "awake". Today was an especially boring day and so like always, I searched the web for cheap deals and cute clothes. I somehow ended up on a blog entirely devoted to giving readers the links to items that Kendal and Kylie Jenner wear. I was amazed!! The blog is called Hey it's Jenna (CLICK HERE) and I highly recommend following her. 

Heyitsjenna.com/blogspot

There were so many things on the blog that I wanted to buy. Kendal and Kylie Jenner have such great taste in fashion! But then again, so would I if I was filthy rich lol. There was one shirt in particular that really caught my eye. The Parker top by Fluxus which is a long-sleeve top that can be worn off the shoulder. Super cute! I decided to go and buy it.

The top is a little hard to find and usually retails for $78 CAD. I finally found a website that had the top in stock, but being the broke student that I am, I decided to keep searching for the lowest price possible. I finally found the exact same top on sale on Bluefly.com for only $31.85 USD!!! I wasn't sure what size to get so I grabbed the XS (it was the last one). I'm kind of wishing that I had gotten the small instead so that it is more of a looser fit but I can always exchange the size after.

(BUY HERE)

I had never heard of Fluxus before but I was browsing their clothing online and I really like what I see! I have a feeling that I'll be buying more of their clothing and from what I can see online, a lot of celebrities are big fans of Fluxus as well (which makes the brand even better lol).

SOME FLUXUS EYE CANDY:

 ^^ This is the same top that I bought online!!

SHOPPING

I am having a really hard time not shopping and saving up my money lol. I can't stop buying things!? I've been good at putting some money here and there onto my credit cards though and so they are slowly getting paid off :) It's just going to take me longer to pay them off because I keep spending $$$ at the same time. 

Equipment Signature Blouse in Black

I finally bought my first Equipment blouse. I wrote a blog posting dedicated to Equipment blouses and how much I loved them lol... so I've been keeping my eye on them on Ebay since it is a LOT cheaper there. For my first Equipment shirt, I decided that I wanted to get a black one first since it is a staple color and easy to mix and match. Plus, I like the outfit that Native Fox (CLICK HERE) has put together using the same blouse. The only difference that I would make is to wear a Moschino or Hermes belt instead. 

One of my favorite bloggers Native Fox

Guess how much I got my black Equipment blouse for??

It is brand new for only $80!!

Original retail price: $208

I saved: $128

Woohoo!

Equipment Tanner Colorblock Blouse in Peacoat

Then, I found this other Equipment blouse on Ebay. I wasn't planning to buy another Equipment blouse since I haven't even received my black one in the mail yet, but it was another good deal that I couldn't resist. This blouse is brand new yet there is just one small defect: a button hole on the back of the collar. I bought it anyways because really? Who on earth is going to notice a small button hole on the back of my neck lol

Guess again how much I bought this shirt for?

Brand new for only $60 + free shipping

Original retail price: $228

Savings: $168

THANK YOU EBAY!!!
