Indah Dress doppelganger/replica for 10% of the price!

So I fell in love with a Indah Smocked strapless bandeau open back maxi dress. It was so easy to wear and very flattering! You don't even need to wear a bra!! But I did not want to spend $1500+USD on it. This print is no longer for sale but the solid colors are in stock at http://www.revolveclothing.com/indah-dresses/br/af6cdd/?navsrc=left.

 Found this gem at Forever 21 for only $14.99 CAD!!! I actually like the print better than the original! So needless to say it was a no brainer! Check this one online at http://www.forever21.com/shop/ca/en/p/southwestern-print-cutout-dress-2000113482--1001.

Honest Ed's

Sorry I been absentee lately guys. But I'm back with some cheapie deals! Now with nothing to do on a Friday night I found myself in Honest Ed's. (Partially because I left my bag of clothes at Sushi Island Restaurant the night before and had to go back for it!) 

I've always loved Honest Ed's with its random treasures and rock bottom prices. It's a place I can get lost in sometimes even just to run around looking at their random over embellished clothing that I swear I saw on an episode of Gypsy Wedding! So what I found were $2.99 H&M Basic T-Shirt Dresses! 

 Now I love stumbling upon these types of deals... I also found a Simply Vera by Vera Wang Dress. Now both dresses although basic with a few accessories can be a real staple. I also got my niece's some pink Nike swim shorts...99 cents!

ASOS

Generally I love European brands, but aren't you tired of buying something and seeing it regularly on every other girl! (*ahem* H&M!) That's why I started thrifting and online shopping. So for all of you who don't know, ASOS is a website that sells tons of brands (lots of European brands) and amazing dresses and accessories!

"The fashion destination where you can shop over 850 brands, including vintage and second hand, buy your favourite hair and beauty brands, create and share looks, keep up-to-date with street style and catwalk reports and even sell your fashion cast-offs via ASOS Marketplace."

Aside from their great selection they have straight off the runway trends and fashion tips! They have a great range of sizes and also have Petites and Talls and the best part of this website is the Free Shipping with No minimum! (This doesn't include the "Market Place" Secondhand Market.)

Right now they are having a Sale with an additional 10% off!

ASOS Gingham Mix and Match
C$25.05 NOW C$7.16 / pc

ASOS Asymmetric Cut Out
C$53.69 NOW C$16.11

So due to the Free No Minimum Shipping  if you can make sure to keep orders under $20 so you don't have to play taxes when they come into the country! (very irritating when delivery person come to the door and only take credit card!) I placed 2 separate orders keeping my fingers crossed they don't get flagged (each about $30).

Some things to take a look at are their swimwear, they have original 1 piece bathing suits and high waisted bottoms (ala Marilyn Monroe). They also carry tops in  bra sizes up to F Cup! Gotta Love Europeans! They have big boobs and wide feet!

I also fell in love with the brand River Island they have very unique print dresses and items!

 

Also got some cheapie sunglasses, Ones that I'm not terrified to lose when I go to the beach! (R.I.P my YSLs .... *sad face*)

So today was the infamous 50% off sale in Value Village and I got a chance to hit up 3 of them but only picked up items at 2 of them.Value Village (Landsdowne and Bloor) was a bust due to it being really popular with all the hipsters in the neighborhood.

The first one is:

I went with my mom and dad to this one at 7:30am and was surprise to see that it was already buzzing! My mother walked away with 2 Eddie Bauer Jackets and a plaid wool caplet her total was around $30. my dad walked away with a cotton blazer, a leather jacket, a couple tops, some trousers and a pair of new Tommy Hilfiger Jeans with tags courtesy of me of course! His total was around $60

Overall Impression:
I go to this one with my mom, It's big and has great stuff. Although large it is much better when there isn't any sales. They have a great Jacket section and usually have lots of things with tags.
