After weeks of silent anticipation, I finally received my J.Crew Bubble Necklace in the mail! Dance of joy and hoots 'n hollers arise!
I have been coveting this necklace from afar for many months only to be completely thwacked across the head when I looked up the price: one-hundred and seventy-four dollars?
'That can't be right,' I thought to myself.
And then, 'But so many bloggers have this necklace...'
'...how can they afford this necklace? ....and in multiple colours?!'
Well my friends, enter eBay. A great tip shared to me by Mara and I was on my way to not one, but two J.Crew Bubble Necklaces. I used seller Bisource who are based out of China. The shipping took forever (about five weeks to Canada) but the customer service was great, speedy and they provided a tracking number, which was nice. The only problem was trying to decide which colours to get! I might have to purchase one or two more (pink/peach and white perhaps? Or maybe black...) in the future.
Happy shopping!

Outfit deets:
* F21 jacket that I bought super on sale a couple years ago and am so glad I did because it's turned out to be the perfect coat. I've worn it before in autumn and also in one of my first outfit posts (eep).
* Mexx dress that I've worn for Halloween as a sailor (and everyone thought I was a nurse) and once at the park where something embarassing happened.
* Diva Lounge wedges that are becoming a quick favourite. Seen with denim shorts for my birthday, an Easter outfit and another white dress.
* Accessories: Bijoux Terner beaded necklace, Aldo gold necklace & Baby Phat glasses
Everytime I wear this dress, without fail, someone tells me I look like a nurse.
With. Out. Fail.
Keep on keepin' on.
Outfit Deets:
* Gap cardigan (old).
* Joe Fresh blouse (old) and seen before with skinny jeans.
* Dynamite skirt which I wore two years ago with turquoise silk and the same belt.
* Kelsi Dagger 'Genelle' wedges (new!) which I just picked up at Winners for half the price they are on the KD website (score!). Am loving heels with lower heels lately (since I have enough of 4inch+) and these fit the bill perfectly.
* Accessories: Joe Fresh belt, Guess & F21 bangles
Some of you know I wear glasses,
and while my prescription isn't very strong, it's existent, just ask
the people at GlassesUSA.com! They kindly let me pick out a pair of eyeglasses which is so exciting because I've been wanting to buy glasses but didn't want to fork out the cash (I know, I know).
I picked out a pair of plastic frame prescription glasses by Reece called the Jakob. While I normally tend toward metal frames (here's a post where I'm wearing my metal framed glasses) I have been itching for a pair of plastics and this was the perfect opportunity to find some.
The website offers a virtual mirror to try glasses on, but since I
didn't have a Flash player I simply used the measurements from a pair of
glasses I already owned to determine what size would fit my face.
Now, I know this is a review, and I know I got a pair of free glasses, but, I have to mention their customer service. First know that they did not ask me to discuss this and they are all my own opinions. I'm not one of those bloggers who is going to say wonderful things about a company I'm not happy with. This is brutal honesty.

From day
one, they were very helpful and I was impressed with how quickly my
questions were answered via email. When I finally placed my order (I
himmed-and-hawed for a good three weeks on which pair to purchase) they
sent me a tracking number within a day or so. From there, my glasses
arrived within four days. Four. Days. Shocking, especially since it
seems they outsource their production to Europe and I'm in Canada. The
glasses arrived in a small box with a case and a cleaning cloth, brand
spankin' new. I can honestly say I love them.
