A Day of Window Shopping

This is a a long over due post but here it is.
Yes we did it.  We went shopping together and stuck to the rules!  I believe this is the 1st time that I have gone shopping with T where she did not buy anything lol =P   Maybe it's because we have become smarter shoppers, paying more attention the quality of clothes but there was really only one thing we both would have bought...

The lovely Zara purse was hard to walk away from for the two of us.  We both love the braided detailing and adorable lining.  For $30 it would be worth adding to our collections but alas we can only admire the picture. T might try to replicate it with some leftover leather she has...I'd be interested to see how it'll turn out.


We also fell in love with these Marc Jacobs bags for Aritzia but we would never buy them unless we were rich.  We especially liked the 2nd one =)

 Here of the some pictures of other items that caught our attention.

Classic trench from Banana Republic

Who knew BR sold shoes?! 

A girl could always use a little sparkle in her outfit ;)

Boyfriend blazer from Zara

T loved the button detailing

Another blazer from Zara

Silk dress from Urban Outfitters

We will post more when we have time, and we hope to start the wish list soon!

Love,

T&A

Tip of the week

Take advantage of make up bonuses!  I honestly can't remember the last time I bought mascara, eyeshadow or make up remover.  That's because the majority of my make up comes from Lancome and Clinique bonuses =)  Between the 3 girls in the house it's easy to buy enough to get the bonuses and usually there's something in the bonuses for everyone.  I love the cosmetic bags too, they make great clutches and pencils cases!  The best bonuses come from Holt Renfrew, you have to spend a little bit more but the bonuses are much better.  For example, this spring there was an amazing Clinique bonus from Holt Renfrew that included a bag designed by Milly!  I just love the print and it's a great size too.

Another great thing about bonuses is that the samples they give you are the perfect size.  Honestly I don't go through eyeshadow that much and mascara needs to be thrown out every 3 months so it's a waste to buy full size.  It's also nice to have new products to try, some of them are so expensive I would have never bought them.


So what do I buy?  I love Clinique skincare products, my staples are clarifying lotion 3 (toner) and dramatically different moisturizing gel.  Their acne stuff is pretty good too.  In terms of make up I use the Almost make-up (tinted moisturizer) in medium.  Some of my favorite bonus items are Lancome definicils mascara in deep black and eye shadow quad in chic,  Clinique colour surge eye shadow in come heather and Take the day off makeup remover.


I hope this tip helps and that you take advantage of Bonuses!
