When there is a sale......

I got the Tory Burch Reva flats when I was in Toronto last week. I was eyeing on those for months and  was so excited when I finally got them. I have read reviews that they are not the most comfortable flats. When I tried them on many times in the store, they were very comfy and I wonder what those people are talking about.

Tory Burch Reva Flats

Got this J. Crew tee during the in-store 30% off sale event. The fabric is very light and breezy, perfect for the summer. However, this is a size L. It was 30% off $24.99 and it was too good of a deal to pass so I grabbed it. Obviously, it's 2 sizes too big for me and it falls off my shoulders all day long and the scoop neckline could plunge really low at times. Now, I want to get it in the right size since I love it so much but it is not on sale online.

Lia Sophia stretch bracelet

Nail polish: Julep Jessica

For those who are not familiar with Lia Sophia jewelry, it can be purchased only through an advisor(like Avon). A girl from work hosted a Lia Sophia jewelry party a while back and I have been buying a few pieces here and there from her throughout the years. They are very unique pieces and they can be pricey. But they always have specials going on, like buy a few items at regular price and get a few items at half price. 

I am loving the mint color this summer and when I saw this gorgeous stretch bracelet, I gotta have it. I got the matching necklace which I thought is great in the catalog, but in real life, not so impressive.

Got this Julep nail polish from my goodie-box won earlier. I'm surprised I like the color. I'm usually only wear pastel pink or purple on my fingers but I find this color very summery and match perfect with my bracelet.

Back to my Reva flats. Within 5 mins into the flats, my feet hurt. I took the advice of my sister-in-law who has a pair already and suggested to go half a size bigger. The leather of these flats is soft but they hurt on the edges at the front of the shoes. My sister-in-law told me they hurt her heels so I was surprised that they hurt at the front as well. What am I going to do? I love them and do not wish to return them. 

My temporary solution:

Went out to buy these foot covers by Secret. As I don't want to wear socks with these gorgeous flats, these seem to protect(oh, well, kind of) front of my feet where the edges of the shoes hurt the most. Will report back if these make any difference at all. 

Needed a pair of running shoes as mine is all worn out only after a few months. I was willing to spend a lot of money on a pair of good running sneakers before. But now I don't spend as much time in the gym as before so I'd go for cheaper kinds. 

The sale for sneakers is usually before school starts but my current pair will not last for another 2 months. There is a sale on at SportChek, buy one and get a pair FREE. Yes, you heard me right. FREE pair. Guess the running shoes are from past season or even past years. Only have a very limited selection of sizes and models. But I was lucky to find 2 pairs of my size.

I got the 2 pairs for $69.98, not a bad deal at all. Of course, if you are very particular about the models and release dates, you won't be impressed. But to me, a good comfortable pair is all I need. Now, I got the bonus and got a pair free.
