Are Yoga Bags the new Baby Bags?

It seems like everyone around me is pregnant...to the point, where I'm seriously questioning that there is something fishy in the water that everyone is drinking! lol
Due to this, it got me thinking about Baby Bags and how sucky most of them are. The solution; if you're going to invest in a good baby bag, why not look into a bag from Lululemon?  Lisa's Pieces totally recommends trying out a Lululemon bag as they are durable, water resistant, have tons of pockets (why not use the water bottle pockets for baby's bottles?), most of them even have the wet/dry pocket and removable shoe bag for baby's dirty/wet clothes or do I dare say it...Dirty Diapers (if you have no where else to put it!) I think Lululemon bags are a brilliant alternative for the typical baby bag....and perhaps even a little more functional as you can fit your wallet and personal items in there as well!
 
Check out these latest bags from Lululemon Online:
Arabesque Bag Lululemon $118.00 CAD
Available in Silver, Purple & Black
Arabesque Bag- Wet Pocket
Destined for Greatness Lululemon $135.00 CAD
Available in Black, Black Swan Persian Purple Lilac Gardient, Deep Coal Creekside Camo
Still Groovy Bag *Quilted Lululemon $98.00 CAD
Available in Black
Still Groovy- Shoe Bag (or for extra baby stuff)


Triumphant Tote Lululemon $118.00 CAD
Available in Purple & Black
  
Lululemon bags get marked down (while supplies last), so keep your eye out and you may be able to score one of these bags at a great lower price! Another bonus is, you can revert to your Lululemon bag as a gym/yoga tote after you've outgrown it as your baby bag...get as much use out of it as you can!

Hope this helps all the mommies and future mommies-to-be out there!

Enjoy these Lululemon pieces!

Missoni Inspired Fab Finds!

For those of you who missed out on Missoni's limited edition product launch at Target, well you're not the only one...Miss Lisa did as well. :(  In fact, it was reported that Missoni's collection for Target sold out in stores and online in record time! So what's the big deal you ask? Well, Missoni is a high-end Italian fashion house famously known for their bright zigzag pattern of clothing.

A Typical Missoni ZigZag Pattern

"Botox in a box"...yes, please!

So as a woman approaching 30, it comes as no surprise that my 'laugh lines' on my face don't disappear anymore when I stop laughing! lol
Thankfully, my sister introduced me to a line of products called Arbonne . Arbonne was developed in Switzerland in the 70's with the idea of using botanical ingredients within their skin care products. As a result, the botanics help restore and improve the skins youthful appearance. I fell in love with their Re9 Advanced line...it's incredible and "clinically proven to start working within 24hrs"! It's also being referred to as "Botox in a box".

Arbonne's RE9 Advanced Products

However, the problem was this; Arbonne is not sold in stores and I was running out of product. Fortunately for me, my bff Violet (quite out of the blue one day) asked me if I've ever heard of 'Arbonne'? I told her 'yes' and explained to her how I love their products! Violet, then goes on to say that she's loving the products too (and went as far as throwing out all her department store bought creams because she couldn't believe all the crap that was in them!) Violet's new found love for the Arbonne products didn't stop there, as she became a consultant for the company as well!!! And FYI: if anyone has seen Violet up close, you would not believe that this woman is going to be turning 30...her skin is flawless thanks to her using Arbonne!

Arbonne also carries Men's, Hair, Makeup, & Baby Care lines, not to mention a bunch of wellness products. Arbonne personal care products are formulated without:

*Animal products or animal by-products
*Parabens
*Formaldehyde donating preservatives
*Petroleum based ingrediants
*Benzene
*Mineral Oil
*Petrolatum
*Phthalates
*Toluene
*PABA

So to sum up; Violet is now my Arbonne consultant, I have stocked up on my Re9 products, and my laugh lines are looking less and less noticeable!

To get your hands on these products or for more information,  
please contact Arbonne consultant & my bff Violet

My bff Violet and her Arbonne amazing skin!
Hope you love Violet's Arbonne pieces!

Fab Finds!

If you're at Winners anytime soon, Lisa's Pieces highly recommends trying on these two items:
  1. Calvin Klein 'Waterfall' Coat: I bought this charcoal wrap last Winter from Bluefly where it was on sale, but full price at Macy's. It's unfortunately sold out on Bluefly again, but it's in the Winners stores for all my Canadian friends to try on. It's a heavy jacket and surprising warm for something that's considered a 'wrap'. You can also wear it two ways; draped down or as a funnel collar.

Funnel Collar
2. Born 'Ramsey Shooties': Bought these in the States, but surprising cheaper at Winners! If you see these at Winners they're definitely worth trying on. Don't be fooled by the higher heel; it's chunky and has a great tread on the bottom for those slippery days that you have to go out in. I'm all for Ugg wearing in the Winter, but these are a great alternative if you need to be a little cuter on those gross wintry days. They come in two colours; brown and taupe ...I believe Winners was selling them in the taupe.

For my American Friends, you can find these Shooties at Macy's and Zappos!

Hope you love my pieces,

50% off Michael Kors Bag!

Have that itch to buy something for yourself on Black Friday, but don't know what?
Well, I highly recommend the Michael Kors 'Knox-Large' Drawstring Shoulder Bag Online from Nordstrom. It's 50% off and going fast! From what I've seen, it's still regular price on sites such as Zappos, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and Macy's.

Couldn't resist, I just bought it in White!

Being Thankful Times Two!

As a Canadian celebrating Thanksgiving in the States this year, it means not only being officially thankful for loved ones (times two this year), but also thankful for Black Friday that follows the day after.

You might assume that since I write a fashion blog that I would be participating in Black Friday and lining up to shop the stores for bargains at 4am...but I assure you, I am not. I intend to be as far away from that mess as I can! lol Nothing about camping outside Walmart in the freezing cold appeals to me...not even for a cheap 50" plasma TV. You see, I've discovered online shopping where I can shop in my PJ's in the comfort of my own home. So since I'm not brave enough to brace the storm that is Black Friday shopping in person; I share with you a few deals that you'll find online tomorrow.

  1. Neiman Marcus: Up to 50% off  *Shipping available to Canada*
  2. Aldo Canada: Extra 30% off all ready reduced footwear & handbag
  3. Nordstrom : Up to 50% off on women's apparel + Free Shipping & Returns within the US. *Shipping available to Canada*
  4. Roots USA + Canada : 25% off + Free shipping.
  5. Target : What isn't on sale? Lots of Doorbusters + Free Shipping within the US.
  6. Macy's : Coupons and an extra 10%-20% off selected items.
  7. Yankee Candle USA : Buy 2, Get 1 Free! Sugar Plum is the best and only available for a limited time!
  8. Gap Canada : Up to 60% off!
  9. Jacob Canada : 30% off Everything + Free Shipping on orders over $25.
  10. Forever 21 : Up to 75% off

Happy Thanksgiving to my American Friends & Happy Black Friday Shopping!

Luv ya to pieces,

Welcome to Lisa's Pieces!

Being someone who doesn't like nature, is not a good recycler, and is no Mother Teresa; I thought, what can I possibly contribute? Since I wasn't about to hug a tree or save a whale, it suddenly came to me; share what you know and love! What I know is shopping and what I love is clothes, purses, shoes, etc...

I've decided that this blog would be a diary of all my good finds, must haves, and unbelievable deals that I come across on my shopping travels...cause don't you hate it when you see someone with a fabulous item, and come to find out that they bought it at Winners/Marshalls, and you were just there, and didn't see it!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Drives you nuts, right?! lol
It's my hope that Lisa's Piece's can help you find that item that you missed or introduce you to something different.

I hope you love all my pieces!
