the Atypical Nikkie: Aztec/Tribal Love!

Helloo everyone! I'd love to say I love Fall, but if Fall is this cold... it's way out of my league! After my brother finished classes (and I came home from the library), we headed to a nearby lake for my photo shoot.

It wasn't so cold today with my red jacket (I bought this just yesterday at West Edmonton Mall) on and even with my aztec cardigan on, I don't feel cold at all! It was just my hands that were freezing!

Anyway, let the pics take over!

$165 CAD from Simons

Simons, currently located in Canada, came to West Edmonton Mall (which was actually the largest in-door shopping mall in the world until 2004- something I'm proud of Edmonton for) just last year. I love the store! It's so big and spacious and has a variety of items, from women and men clothing to pillows and home decor! :)

Yesterday I got crazy checking out all of their jackets! I'm growing out of my old jacket that I've been wearing for almost 2-3 years. Anyway, Simons' clothing are pretty good quality and their prices aren't the cheapest, but they're still affordable. Jackets I usually purchase range from $200- $400, so when I saw these warm, cute jackets, I immediately knew I'd be bringing them home! There was actually many different styles of jackets that I couldn't choose from, so I bought this red/burgundy one and another one for my sis.

Edmonton at almost 5pm. The sun is setting already.. :(

I've been seeing Aztec/tribal prints everywhere! On backpacks, shoes, cardigans, sweaters, shorts, and more! I love these gorgeous prints! It's so beautiful.

I've seen these beautiful cardigans in online stores for around $35-45, but I got this from SammyDress for only $12.52 (excluding shipping costs). SammyDress is an online store that ships from China and has a lot of inexpensive, affordable pieces! Most of the items are inexpensive, but there are also shipping costs to keep in mind! Delivery cost was around $7-8, so my total came to $18.36, which still isn't a bad price. The quality of the material is pretty good too. :)
