Aritzia, F21 and Gmarket Purchases

Bought a few items from various place, from Aritzia, Forever 21 and Gmarket in the last few months but didn't have time to upload the pictures.  I am actually quite behind with blogging! So sorry about that!  I shall try harder to upload my photos!  Anywho, on with the shopping post!

Aritzia Purchase
I bought a pair of maroon coloured leggings from Aritzia.  The brand is Talula and I have a few other pairs of black versions from this brand and I would say it is well worth it.  The leggings don't pill and are super soft.  They costs $22.00CAD and you can actually buy them online now as Aritzia has an online site now.

Forever 21 Purchase
On cyber Monday I bought a pair of sneakers from the Forever 21 website.  They were so cute and they remind me of the bag I bought from Gmarket. Shipping was free that day and the shoes actually came within a week!  So crazy fast.  The shoes were $23.80CAD and look adorable with shorts!  I also bought a floral blouse and 3 pairs of jeans from F21.  I bought those at the downtown F21 and not online.  I actually couldn't find them online.  The jeans were $12.80 and so comfortable!  The blouse was $19.80CAD.

Gmarket Purchase

I was initially shopping for a ipad cover for my bf for one of his bday gifts but also found some shirts for me! My bf's ipad case was about $20.00CAD and it came with a screen protector and a pen.  This purchase is well worth it!  I think the wood pattern is so cool!  Can't get anything locally for this price! :)

look at that pattern!  Looks like hard wood floors..lol

bonus pen!

I bought 1 casual long sleeve tee and dressy sweater.  Both shirts are long in length, which was exactly what I was looking for as I could not find any of those lengths locally.  Everything now seems cropped and I wanted the length so that I can wear leggings and not show my bum.  I also bought 2 Holika Holika waterproof pencil eyeliners. The eyeliners were very good, comparable to my Make Up Forever Aqua eyes!  The eyeliners were $4.00CAD

The shirts:  The rabbit shirt was $12.00CAD.  The feather sweater was $17.00CAD.

Forever 21 Purchase- Skinny jeans, Sheer blouse, Mustache necklace

I was in search of a pair of bright coloured skinny jeans, specifically red but it seems very hard to find!  I ended up shopping on Gmarket again.  I shall review my new Gmarket order when it comes.  :)  I stopped by Metrotown with my friend prior to having lunch in search of the red skinnies and again couldn't find any.  Finally stopped by Forever 21 and found a fuchsia pair of skinnies and bought that instead....for now! LOL  I also picked up a sheer black blouse and a mustache necklace all at Forever 21 at Metrotown Shopping Centre.

There might be a small problem with my Gmarket order as I ordered a pair of coral/orange skinnies in size 28 and I realized after trying several pants at H&M and Forever 21 that I am in fact a size 26.  I over estimated my size again...gah..hopefully Korean sizes run small! Fingers crossed!


Here is my Forever 21 purchases:
The fuchsia skinnies are from the Heritage 1981 collection.  There were many alternative colours:white, baby pink, grey, orange, green, maroon and I actually wanted to buy this maroon colour but they didn't have my size.  They were $29.90CAD.  They are very comfortable and the jean material is reasonably thick..not super thick jeans but not the thin material that makes it feel cheap, they are fairly nice jeans.  I am satisfied with this purchase!

I also picked up a sheer black high low blouse. There were 2 more colours, a beige and a turquoise one but I chose black as I can match it up with more stuff..although beige would also be just as good. I like the fact that it is a rolled up 3/4 sleeve.  It was $16.50CAD.

As I was paying for my blouse and pants I noticed this super cute mustache necklace at the desk and I couldn't help myself and bought it too..lol..it's so cute! It was $3.80CAD.  The necklace part is a little short, perhaps I will go to Michaels(art supply store) and pick up a longer necklace...one that goes a little passed the chest.
