Accessories Shopping

[mesmerized]

You should check out the thread about peoples' purses. I like to shop for my accessories at little unknown stores, Urban Outfitters, Le Chateau and Bluenotes.

I used to buy a lot of my stuff from vintage stores and second hand stores like the Salvation Army.

I also used to work at a department store (The Bay). I still remember the day I bought a Nine West bag for 35¢. I knew how the store worked, where they had all the designer brands for low prices and the days that they would have sales on them. I miss working there.

Right now I'm going through a jewellery phase. There's a store here in Montreal called Preston that has beautiful pieces. Unfortunatly they don't have a website.

i like shopping at independent boutiques...the really good ones have really unique and original pieces. sample sales feature cool designs as well.

what I meant by Accessories here not purses . I meant Earings, Bracelets, Pendants...etc... and not diamond or gold.
something like these in the picture

 

[contessacolette]

that's what a thought you meant

I buy mine from thrift stores. I love having one of a kind pieces, and for a couple of dollars a piece you can't beat the price. B)

I was also refering to both purses and jewellery.

Me and my sister went to the fasion district where you can find beautiful earrings and jewelry..we spent a lil over 200 bucks.. but woah..the deals.. you can get.. I got these for like 2 bucks...

Sorry forgot to mention where it is LOL NYC Manhattan 33rd/Broadway ... It seems overwhelming at first..but take a basket and keep adding..the more u spend the more discounts u get... I got the first pair shown for 2 bucks..the other two Im showing as examples of what u can get...Ill post more pics of my own stuff if u like..let me know (they also have other jewelry)

Before finding the fashion district I would purchase some of my jewelry from new york and co or express... they can be pretty expensive..but wait for a sale.. (I used to use my membership gold card for add'l discounts)

I allways buy my jewellery when I travel. A like ethnic pices wich I buy mostly on the Middle east and then I like stuff from museums shops. They allways have great replicas. A lot of my stuff is also from shops in my town, where they made a handmade jewellery in filigran tehnique.

vintage is THE way to go with accessories. You can always find something cute, cheap and worth the $. I mean you wear a $4 necklace once and it has fulfilled its duty.

Those are amazing earrings- they make me want to go shopping right now!

i'm so depressed...i can't wear store bought COOL earrings cause they give me bumps on my ear...have to wear the bloody real stuff which is NO FUN

anyway, i shop where ever i see sale

 

[oceanharlot]

are you Ok with gold or silver? because you could just buy the part that goes through your ear in the right metal, and then buy COOL earrings and connect them to the jeweler's silver/gold part.
