I didn’t intentionally set out to buy accessories, it just happens, ya know? Especially when I get good deals!
I’ve been interested in getting a lighter colour purse for the summertime but wasn’t seeing styles I liked. Until…
Fossil Riley Zip Top purse in Camel from Winners for $99 (regularly $198 – also available on Amazon and Fossil)
This one was a lunch time browsing find from Winners – they also had the same bag in white, lime green, and a kelly green. I was very tempted buy the white version, but I knew it would get dirty in about 2 minutes. I like how the strap converts from a crossbody to a shoulder length.
I went into the Lululemon store solely for the purpose of buying a gift card for a friend’s birthday, but you know how it happens that you find stuff for yourself? One for you, one for me:
Find your own Om Scarf Lululemon in Bark Berry from Lululemon for $39 (regularly $58)
This thing is HUGE. If I just sling it over my neck, the ends go past my knees. I cut off those neon pink tassels – they were so obnoxious.
Dr. Scholl’s Joliet flats in copper from Winners for $40 (regularly $90)
Yes, I bought Dr. Scholl shoes, and not the first time either! I own the exact same pair in a champagne [bronze] colour and they’re fantastic for commuting or wearing on the weekends. The insoles are SO comfy, it’s like wearing slippers! When I like something, I like to buy multiples in different colours.
Bar Necklace in sterling silver (brand is Upper Metal Class) from Indigo for $39 (regularly $60)
I’ve been wanting a simple plain bar necklace for a while now and these popped up in the sale section of Indigo (it’s primarily a bookstore but they sell some great accessories and home wares) for 35% off so I couldn’t resist. I snagged the last one! 😛
What are your current favourite accessories?
Oh I love the Om scarf and those shoes! So cute! There are a few lime green bags from Matt & Nat that I would love to buy, but since I’m on a “No Buy” for the month of June, I can only look!

Matt & Nat has the cutest bags. My friend actually just got one – from Indigo, because they’re having a sale.

They are??? I have to look! My father gave me a couple of Indigo gift cards, so technically, it wouldn’t break my no buy rule for June if I’m not spending my own money! Thanks for the heads up! 🙂

Oh no, I just looked and they’re no longer on sale! They were 30% off last week! Sorry…

No worries, I think I only have $30 in gift cards, so it wouldn’t have worked anyways, haha!

I hope you find a summer purse soon! Try Marshalls or TJMaxx (Winners is our version of TJMaxx!) – they’re hit and miss but I’ve had good luck lately.

I love the bar necklace and the scarf the best out of these. I would have cut off the pink tassels as well, though! Great choices. Makes me want to go on a shopping spree too, but no- buy for me too for couple of months.
P.S. I like your ‘one for you, one for me’ strategy! 🙂

I love the purse! My two addictions are makeup and bags for sure. I’ve been keeping an eye out for a summer purse too, there’s a few at Aldo that are calling my name :p

Nice stuff! That bag is really cute and love the necklace! Not much of an accessory buyer really, but the last I bought was probably a hand bag for every day use.

I never used to care about accessories but in the past year or so I’ve liked sprucing up the wardrobe with some colour or accents. I dress fairly plainly in terms of clothes (I prefer solids and mostly dress in black and greys) so a little something helps!

Yes same here, I keep things quite simple but it’s true, accessories really make all the difference.

Nice scarf. Is it blanket sized? Love that bar necklace. My fave accessory right now is a rose gold necklace! First one!

Nice scarf! I vaguely like the tassels, but they are also kind of annoying so I agree with their removal 🙂
The Fossil bag reminds me of an older MJ style. Loving Fossil lately.
I haven’t bought any accessories lately…I guess the last one I got was a Rachel Nasvik bag off eBay, last fall.

At first I was going to keep the tassels – they’re a neat concept, but in practice, they were a PITA!
Maybe it’s time for a summer refresh! 😉

When I saw the photo of the scarf I was all like OMG love the pink tassels! Then I kept reading and thought “noooooo not the tassels!” Lol. Tassel Slayer.
