Camo Crush & New Sandals

I have a slight style crush/obsession with washed out camo as of late...and whilst shopping in the boys' dept. at Winners for my son this week, I stumbled on some boys sweatpants and thought....hmmmm, these look awesome!  Wonder if they'll fit...me, that is!!  Nothing makes you feel better than fitting into pants sized for a 10-12 year old, lol.

The sweats fit like an ankle crop and have the perfect faded look!  And only $19.99 :) 

As a sidebar, I also picked up some Birk-inspired Sam & Libby sandals this week at Target online!  Reg. $29.99, I found them on sale for $23.99...they also come in silver.  They are surprisingly comfy!!

They're modelled after Giambatista Valli's studded sandals ($800+).  A bit of rock and roll and a bit of Birkenstock comfort all rolled into one.  Note: they've been in (and out) of stock for a few weeks, currently appears unavailable...keep an eye out for them and hopefully they'll be back in stock.  I noticed they had restocked and ordered them quick!

Betula by BIRKENSTOCK at various COSTCO Locations!

Thanks to a tip from a friend, we found "Gizeh" Betula brand sandals made by Birkenstock at the local Costco (Langley) for $39.99!

Birkenstock (est. 1774) is a parent company to Betula (est.1994) and aesthetically, the sandals are very similar, with overall quality and price as their major differences. The Betula branch is a more accessible Birkenstock branded sandal, reaching the masses, especially at the price that Costco is selling them for.

Check your local Costco for the Gizeh toe-sandal in genuine nubuck leather. They are a bargain at $39.99 and come in two colours: brown nubuck and bone/beige nubuck.

One of the Lofty Goods' writers picked up a pair today and her feet (and wallet) are going to be happy this spring and summer! 

Happy Shopping! 

HUNTER Boots spotted for $68

Thanks to a hot tip from our fellow shopping friend, some tall Hunter boots have been spotted on MTFs online site for $68.  (These guys sell Costco merchandise...and these are likely stock that have been moved into clearance mode...)

Free shipping if you ship to the store for pick up (South Surrey, etc).

Limited colour selection and sizing....things are disappearing quickly as there were black boots avail in size 8M/9F only a couple hours ago, but alas, they're gone!  Check here for remaining colours and sizes:

If you see something you like, bag it!  If you put it down, you might not find it again.

Wear clean undies. Heck, just wear undies...it's a communal fitting room.  No one wants to see your cheeks :). 

If you want to be a quick change artist, wear leggings and a tank...and slip on shoes (a la Toms)...leave the combat boots at home.

My finds:

Wilfred pale blue/grey silk top, reg. $92, now $39.

Talula jean jacket, medium/dark wash, reg. $98, now $49.  

Was it worth the trip?  Eh, it was a sale, and well, we love sales.  Perhaps the summer Warehouse Sale (usually August) has more merchandise?  Guess we'll see... It was only worth it when you hit the rest of Park Royal afterwards.  What a beautiful shopping destination. We also scored some great finds at J.Crew (additional 40%off sale items).  Happy hunting!
