Moschino Jacket 

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Another great find from Winners this past weekend. It seems I have the best luck at the Park Royal location. It's my go to for designer pieces. I also find many baby items at great prices. Check it out before you pop by Babies R Us.

Ti Style Deluxe Sleepin-in Roller Set $12.99 compared to $24

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Being a new mom I have little time to pamper myself let alone get my hair done. So if I can find any quick and easy styles I'm all for it. 

I used to wear those foam sleep in rollers, back in the day.  You know, these ones...(I know eek!) I swear they work though! For now though I was looking for more of a relaxed curl. While this set doesn't hold the curl long, I do appreciate the volume it gives. What I'm not a fan of is; they're not as comfy to sleep on and the old man kept saying I made crunchy noises(it's from the velcro). For $12.99 though I don't mind keeping the old man up:) 

This set comes with 8 medium size and 8 large size velcro rollers, along with 20 pins, a comb and a drawstring bag to hold it all in.

Found this one at the Winners at The Rise

The soft pant $24.99 compared to $40 (right photo credit)

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. You all know my love for Winners. Here's what I recently found at the Winners/Homesense location on Lougheed. I was searching for a comfy pant other than leggings and spotted this inspiration pic of Kristin. These are elastic so they're perfect for now and after I loose the last stubborn pounds, and return to my pre-pregnancy weight.

I went home with this one...(right photo credit from Nordstrom)

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. As you know I recently purchased this Missoni sweater on Hautelook but returned it because of the poor fit. I showed it to my girlfriend who in turn shopped at Winners downtown and found some great pieces. Determined to get one I popped by several locations but only the Park Royal one I went to had designer pieces...

Fab Found...Marshall's

Hearts Top $14.99 from $30 ( I paired this with pants for a more causal look, however did try it with a high waisted black skirt for a more formal/business attire look)

Paige Pants

Necklace made by me

Ultra Pink Dress $19.99 from $40 ( this would be perfect for a birthday, baby shower, wedding attendee, graduation ceremony, reminds me of Kate Middleton) Side note; super staticky and it's 100% polyester :(

Talbot Pumps

From previous shopping trip...seen here

Theory Dress Pants (returned)

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. My first trip to Marshall's proved fruitless. However a week later with the stock replenished we happily left with pieces for myself and other half along with Christmas gifts(yes we shop early! Can't help a bargain!).

This trip yielded J Brand jeggings aplenty. If not for the vast amount I have already I would have picked up 2 more. The sale price was $69.99, when Aritzia sells them for $200 +. Sadly I went back a week later and couldn't find one. Small sizes go fast...

This week's trip I returned the Theory pants and picked up the dress and top modelled above(found in the teen section in the back of the store). While I've never heard of the brands, I figured the price was right and with the right occasion they would be perfect. 

Seems like Marshall's is the only place I find designer brands, but it's like Winners...If you can handle going through the racks you'll find a gem.

One thing I do like about this location is that it's clean, well currently. Winners I find it's like a tornado has passed through...
