Quick Shopping Haul – J.Crew Factory, Le Chateau, H&M and Smart Set

Just a quick post sharing my latest purchases! Let’s start with the FIVE (oops – how did that happen?) necklaces I recently purchased – there’s definitely a gold and crystal sparkly theme going on here…

The J.Crew Factory store was having a 50% plus 15% sale – so I purchased the factory version of the Crystal Venus Flytrap necklace (for $26.57) and the Crystal Circle necklace (for $24.22). Love that they came with individual canvas bags – I’ve had a crystal Forever21 necklace fall apart recently, so I think careful storage is very important! The two necklaces on the top right are from H&M – I’m not happy with the studded one because it’s missing 2 stones already (and I only noticed this now *sob*) but I love the other one – I’ve been wanting a gold tassel necklace (similar) for a while. The bottom left necklace is from Le Chateau. It reminds me of the blogger-favorite ZARA rhinestone necklace but slightly less chunky.
 

I definitely got the memo about 2014’s Pantone Color of the Year – I’ve already purchased a shirt from Smart Set and a coin purse from Old Navy in Radiant Orchid! H&M was having a sale on their leather panel leggings ($15), so I thought I’d give the trend a try. Will be pairing it with a LONG sweater and black boots. I purchased the hot pink J.Crew Factory Colorblock Stripe Boatneck Tee back in March – and it’s held up well through multiple washes, so I picked it up in Navy/Red as well. The black bow belt is from Le Chateau, and I found the fleece lined leggings for $3 at Dollarama – I’m always cold so I’m definitely excited to try these out!

Hope you liked my mini-haul! Do you like gold and crystal necklaces? Have you purchased anything in Radiant Orchid yet?

    I've been rocking Radiant Orchid since 2011…I guess I was so behind the times that I was ahead of it. 🙂 Love that blouse from Smart Set, though…you're making me wish we had that store in the States! Great deals on your necklaces, too. I'm loving the tassel necklace trend- I think you'll get TONS of use out of that one. On the Daily Express

      LOL – don't blame you for being a long-time Orchid fan – it's such a flattering color! Am excited to wear the tassel necklace – I love tassels on bags, so it was only a matter of time before I fell for the necklace 😉

      Scarlett – promise to update on the dollarama leggings – I thought of my fellow Canadians as soon as I found them – we're always looking for fleece-lined leggings!

      Thanks Schnelle – the t-shirt quality is really great on these J.Crew tops – so thick and they really keep their color well.
