Third Pair of Toms Ballet Flats- Beige, Leopard Print

Was walking around Richmond Centre to look for a birthday for a friend and suddenly spotted some Toms ballet flats in a store called "Street".  Woah...they are back in Vancouver!  I had to pick up another pair as I never bought my "correct " size and they are oh so comfortable!  I asked for the price of the leopard print in beige and the sales rep. said they were $90.00CAD.  I bought them without a second thought!  As some of my readers may know that I had my 2nd pair of Toms flats from the Toms website and with shipping and everything it came to roughly $120.00CAD.  This to me felt like a steal!  I guess this shall be an early bday present for me to justify spending this money on yet another pair of Toms flats.  :p

I am so happy that finally they are locally found and finally I bought my correct size!  I normally wear a size 7US for shoes and I own a size 6US, 6.5US and 7US for the Toms ballet flats and I have concluded that the size 6.5US fits the best.  If you guys are looking for the Toms ballet flats, they can be found in Richmond Centre now- wide selection too.  Oh, by the way, the store "Street" was actually  Below the Belt.  At least that is what it said on my shopping bag..lol

I own 3 pairs of regular Toms (in size 7US) and 3 pairs of Toms ballet flats.
Note: If you are shopping online- For the ballet flats I would recommend you order half a size down from your normal shoe size.  For regular Toms, just order your regular shoe size.

Toms Ballet Flats- Burlap Alessandra

After purchasing a pair of Toms ballet flats in Seattle that were a tad small I kept thinking that I need to buy myself another pair that actually fits.  I originally wanted the Alessandra burlap beige/black combo but I couldn't find them in Washington.  I got desperate and looked all around Vancouver for them and could not find them, seriously it was like "有錢都買唔到" .  I went to places that should carry it OR had carried it earlier.  I went to Aritzia and other shoe stores in Downtown, Vancouver that supposedly should carry them and found out that they don't.  I went to Hills of Kerrisdale and they "had" them but shipped them back to the manufacturer because people complained of the weird fit.  -_____-  The Toms Canadian website had limited styles and I didn't want to shop online for them as I wanted to try the 6.5 and the 7.  I was surfing the Toms site and they so happened to have the Alessandra burlap in stock and I ended up buying it.  I purchased a size 7 as I think I'd prefer it be a bit big than too small.  The shipping took less than a week!  They are a little on the big side but I can always wear inserts!  They were $90.00CAD and with shipping it came to $107.00CAD.

Seattle Trip- Shopping!

Bought a few items during my Seattle trip!  Picked up a pair of toms ballet flats, 3 shirts,  hair extensions and a magnetic nail polish.

I really wanted the Toms ballet flats once it launched but it costs over $90.00CAD to buy it in Vancouver.  It costs $78.00USD in the states so I waited until this trip!  I absolutely love love love these flats!  The grey leopard print is adorable! The inside is fuchsia and has the word one for one.  There are many styles of them but it was a tad difficult to find as the Alderwood Mall Norstrom were sold of my size.  I finally found a pair I like in Downtown Seattle's Nordstrom.  The sales lady told me to buy a size down and I bought a size 6.  I normally wear a 7.  I found that it fit well when I tried it on but when I started to walk it hurt so bad!  LOL...I think I got scammed because there were no size 7's left and she also tried to up sell me another pair of shoes that were $149.00USD...I almost bought it but realized that's not what I came for....lol.  When I go back to the states again I will buy another pair of these Toms ballet flats (in an alternative colour), I will buy a size 7.

I bought 2 denim shirts and one pink tank blouse. The lighter denim shirt is from Forever 21 and the other denim shirt and tank blouse is from Love Culture.
The lighter denim shirt is $14.80USD and I bought a size small.

My other denim shirt is a darker wash with lace details on the shoulder/back area.  It was about $24.90USD and there was only a size large left...ironically it doesnt look like a large!

My pink blouse is a size medium and it was $17.90USD.  Again it is from Love Culture and it looks so cute dressing it up and dressing it down.

My 2 hair extension piece was from Hot Topic and was $3.99USD and $5.99USD. The zebra print was $3.99USD and the other 3 colour one is $5.99USD.

The magnetic nail polish was just a random purchase.  I was curious..lol but haven't tried it out.
