TBF SHOPS: Black and Gold Chain Necklace





How perfect is this necklace? 

For someone who has a larger chest, it's important to avoid long necklaces that end up hiding in my cleavage. This necklace, that is not only shorter and perfectly wraps around my neck, beautifully shows off my collar bones and has several strands that make it super chunky, leaving my neck to appear smaller than it actually is. 

I also adore that this isn't another gold chain necklace which, honestly, can make people look like Mr. T at times. The black chains intertwined add a chicness to the necklace making it perfect to add to a plain white T-shirt or a day/office dress. 

The best part (something you can always expect for all my purchases) is that this was on sale at the clearance section and hardly cost a thing. Sales like this one should be illegal. 

Not revealing the store's name,

TBF SHOPS: Gray and Caramel Fox Tail Keychain




I have this rule that I try to live by when shopping which is to wait 2 weeks before buying something which either results in the item being on sale or being sold out. Either way, I am able to avoid impulsive shopping and at least save some money (whether it's a little or the whole amount). There is also the possibility that I may forget about the item or lose interest during the 2 week period but that only proves that I didn't need the item in the first place. 

Well, now that I've been able to explain this rule, I can confidently talk about how I saw these at a store in Richmond months ago and turned my back to them (mostly because the hubby couldn't appreciate why I would want to attach a tail to my bags and discouraged me from making such a silly purchase). Months later, I saw them again for 50% at a store and knew I couldn't make the same mistake twice. My brother tried to talk me out of it this time or to at least buy one but unfortunately for him, my will was too strong. 

So here we are, one in gray and the other in a caramel color to go with mostly any color bag I've got. I want one in black and a vampy red color too but luckily for the hubby and my brother, they didn't have those in stock at the store :p

At least I didn't get a rabbit's foot - those are just gross,

TBF SHOPS: VANCOUVER CANUCKS temporary tatoos



Tonight is Game 6 for the Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators and I (along with the rest of this city) is hoping for a painless win without having to go into overtime. 

I thought it would be appropriate for me share my latest ("jump on the bandwagon during the playoffs") purchase of these temporary tatoos (also finally bought a T-shirt). They sell them at The Hockey Store by Surrey Central if you want to snag a set. 

I'm hoping that this wasn't a waste and that I won't need to save it for next season. I'm sure the Canucks have learned their lesson from the last game(s) and will be coming back to Vancouver as winners.

TBF SHOPS: Wishlist - Cross necklaces from Forever 21

I can't imagine any other way to accessorize my neck or ears than with a cross. Other than a heart, it's one of my favorite symbols.

I'm so thankful that Forever 21 was able to design and sell simple designs as I'm not a big fan of the extravagantly detailed ones with diamonds and curvy shapes etc. I'm also happy to see that they come in different elements like gold, silver, wood and turquoise to top off different outfits. I am still waiting for the bigger skinny cross like the one that Style Scrapbook has but I've got faith that I'll find it ;)

VANCOUVER STREETSTYLE: Sewing Machine Charm or Pendant, Richmond




She is an aspiring fashion designer so I'm sure she found it only appropriate to have a cute little pink sewing machine as her pendant and/or lucky charm.

VANCOUVER STREETSTYLE: Modern Day Dorothy Gayle Sparkly Shoes, Richmond





How jealous would Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz have been if she saw these? I'm sure she would've given her ruby red slippers a day off to hit the yellow brick road in this equally, if not more, whimsical pair of multicolor, sparkly, lace-up, heeled booties. I also love the spring and airy feeling of the rest of her outfit, especially with the little romantic touches in her accessories. Maybe if she clicks her heels a few times, spring will come early? Let's hope so!
