New in My Closet :: Aldo Graziana Spiky Sneaker Wedges

Hello everyone! 

If you know me in real life, I basically love and live in my basic black Aldo sneaker wedges (Style : Chism)! However I resisted the urge to purchase more than 1 since they were $80-$110 a pop! 

Anyways, like a Aldo shoes - they finally went on sale! As such I was finally able to purchase the $110 spiky version (Style : Graziana) for almost 50% off ($54.98 to be exact)!

For those who are wondering, these sneaker wedges from Aldo are extremely comfortable and can be worn for multiple hours comfortably for non-heel wearers. Just allow yourself 1 day to break them in (as in no marathon running and walking 50 blocks). After that break in day you should be comfortable enough with them to wear like regular shoes! Considering that I don't wear heels on a daily basis, these are like my gateway heels (essentially they are - since they are wedges!). I get a ton of compliments with both the Graziana and the Chism so if you do decide to purchase these a lot of others share the same opinion! 

Alas, here they are in their spiky glory!

Thanks for reading!

New in My Closet :: Aritzia Sale Haul

So today I went with my friends, Joey & Fontaine, to the local Aritzia to check out their sale pieces!

After trying on an assortment of clothing, I picked up a pair of burgundy skinny jeans ($47.50) & an I love Talula muscle tank in black ($19.99). The burgundy jeans fit nicely which is why I purchased them, as $47.50 made me cringe a bit at the cash register. Since the summer has been getting hotter and hotter where I live, graphic tank tops are becoming a staple in my wardrobe hence why I picked up the black tank. Normally I purchase plain cotton or ribbed cotton tanks for layering but recently I have been wearing more tanks as stand alone shirts. 

Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post!

Love,

New In My Closet :: David's Summer Sale

So I was walking around downtown before I officially move out of my apartment and back to my parents house. Much to my happiness, when I was browsing the David's sale rack, I found a long time lust list item - L. K. Bennett Maddox Wedges! I've wanted these shoes since Kate Middleton sported these wedges after her Royal Wedding. I was able to score them for $240 (Regular Price: $325) and I got them in a size 36. This is surprising as I am normally between a 36.5-37! Anyways, I love this shoe as it is classy, comfortable, and elongates the leg! They also had the shorter wedge available but I felt like the smaller wedge does nothing to elongate your legs.

Please excuse me while I stroke and frolic in my new shoes. 

Lots of love,

New in My Closet :: Aritzia Pre-Sale Haul

Hello Everyone! 

So the pre-sale for Aritzia's VIP customers started two days ago! However, I didn't receive the email so I thought I wasn't on the list. Since I am normally on the list, I went in store and asked them to check my file! I was indeed on the list but never got the email - so if you are normally on the list and did not receive an email this year ask in store! Unfortunately the system is weird, as my friend Memie bought 2 Mackage jackets and still was not on the list even though she was on the list last year. It's weird. For those who are familiar with the pre-sale, the discount sare the same as always and are stackable on top of previous purchases. This year, scented candles were given as the gift opposed to towels. I picked up the Rose & Spring candles - but I wish I picked up Fig now. Perhaps since I used my gifts in the Artitzia & TNA store, I will redeem my gift at Wilfred for the Fig. Anyways, thus far I only picked up two tops. First one is the skull top in XS/S- I have been eying it since it came out but I know there's always sales at Aritzia and waited. It's normally $25 - plus 20% off. The second top is Talula in XXS which is on sale for $30 plus 20% off. Yay! 

Happy Shopping Aritizia Fans & Thanks for Reading,

New In My Closet :: White Asymmetrical Origami Zara Skorts

After seeing Tsangtastic wear this skort in this post, I immediately checked out the skort on the Canadian Zara website. Surprisingly, I never ordered from Zara online before, and I must say my first experience ordering with them was amazing. To qualify for free shipping, you need to spend $50 (which isn't hard as these shorts were $49.90...) - and the shipping was a speedy 2 days. TWO DAYS! As in ordered Sunday late evening, arrive Tuesday at 1:15pm! And tracking was included! That blew my mind. I will most definitely be ordering from Zara.com again as its much, much easier to look at a catalogue and order things you want in your size (does anyone else have a hard time finding your size in pieces you want at Zara?) and if you don't like it you can return it in store for a full refund within a month. Amazing.

With love,
