Must See Clothing Bargain Haul...L.A. Fashion District/San Pedro Wholesale Mart

Before anything else, I want to say that San Pedro Wholesale Mart is NOT the Santee Alley that a lot of people are familiar of. They are both located in the L.A. Fashion District, but they are not the same place. I say this because last time I did  post on San Pedro Wholesale Mart, I got emails saying how they like my Santee Alley post lol. I honestly don't like Santee Alley. It's expensive. Yes it is. Might as well go to the mall and get the same thing for the same price. They also rip people off left and right, especially when you look like you're from out of town. San Pedro Wholesale is waaayyy better. Even though it's only available to the public on Saturdays, it's so much cheaper and you get so much so your money. I am taking about cute $5 cocktail dresses $10 prom dresses $7-10 pants, skinny jeans, coats, 3 for $10 tops, shirts and the list goes on. Good luck getting that price at the Alley.

So I went with my best friend Monica 2 weeks ago and we had a blast. It was her first time and she just fell in love with this place. She only brought $50 cash, and she came out with a bunch of clothes..cute clothes! But before I show you my haul, here are some new photos I took of the place and other wholesale buildings that just opened. Some of the photos were taken with my iPhone, so the quality is not that great. Enjoy!

7:30 A.M. at San Pedro Wholesale Mart. Yes, you have to be there that early lol.

Click HERE for more photos of the place. Trust me, you will be blown away.

$1-3 rings, bracelets, necklaces and etc.

My eyes popped when I saw this huge table of Milani makeup. $1-3 lipsticks, shadows, blushes, face powders, nail polishes etc. I didn't get anything though.

More Milani makeup. $2 3D lip glosses

Fake MAC makeup *shakes head*. This makes me a little mad because sellers lie to customers saying it's the real thing and people fall for it. So sad *shakes head*.

$1 Sally Hansen lipsticks and glosses. They're still sealed. Do you guys remember these bright green 75% off stickers? They're from 2009 end of the year Clearance Makeup sale at CVS. Click HERE to see it.

$1 toys and accessories.

Standford Wholesale Mart and L.A. Fashion Mart.These are new wholesale buildings that just opened next to San Pedro Wholesale Mart. This means more shopping!

Cute Christmas Earrings

Yesterday after work, I found these super cute Christmas earrings at the Fashion District in Downtown L.A. Initially, my plan was to only get some of my favorite street food, the over stuffed Quesadillas at this one spot because I was mad craving them, ( Besides the famous bacon wrapped hotdogs, you really gotta try the stuffed Quesadillas) but I ended up walking around and checking out my favorite accessories place too. I might as well right? lol

I found these earrings at a random clothing store where everything was $1.99 on 16th and Los Angeles pl. It's not the best clothing store to shop because it was a bit messy and they had a lot of funky looking outdated clothes but they did have some really cute Christmas accessories like broaches, necklaces and earrings for only $1 each! I could have bought all of the Christmas earrings because I was so excited. They were all cute with bright and festive colors but I had to stop myself since there's no way I'm really going to wear some of them. I didn't think I could sport a huge dangling bright green Christmas trees on my ears lol. So I limited myself to 5-6 and only picked out the ones I could see myself wearing ^_^

Red and silver bow earrings with sleigh bells. They really make noise..so cute!



Red and white clip earrings that remind me of a candy cane.



Kim Rogers dangling  candy cane earrings. I'm not sure where you can find this brand but I found some being sold online. They have clothes, shoes and accessories.



I love these silver and gold snowman earrings!


Dangling snow flakes earrings with tiny rhinestones.



Dangling snowman earrings. They're pretty small and not too obvious that they're snowman. I guess I can wear this year round right? l ^_^



I wished everyone had access to the Fashion District so you can see the cool stuff I find. It really is an awesome place to find great bargains. Heck I should start selling these $1 accessories...jk

Super Cute Dirt Cheap Accessories haul.

Yay for dollar accessories!!! I never pay more than a dollar for my accessories...wait, let me take that back. I never pay more than a dollar unless I'm at the mall and I see something super freakin' extra cute then I won't mind shedding some or a lot of money for it lol. By the way, I get all my dollar accessories at Downtown L.A. Fashion District ^_^... of course. They're pretty much all over the Fashion District but I do have my favorite places where I like to go for cute and dirt cheap accessories. Click HERE and HERE to read about my crazy bargain Downtown L.A. clothing haul.

First, I went to a random accessories store where they sold earrings, cocktail rings, belts, headbands and etc. They carry different familiar brands like For Love, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Hot Topic and many more. I didn't bother getting the address since the owner wasn't sure how long they're gonna be in business O_o.

 I got these 4 Charlotte Russe earrings for a $1 each. 

 My favorite was the one with the rose. It looks vintage.
 

 $1 bracelets

There were a lot to choose from but I only got these because I ran out of cash O_o. They don't take debit/credit cards.

Second, I went to this store called "The 4 Piece For $1.00 Jewelry Store". It's one of my favorite places to get super dirt cheap accessories. They have all kinds of accessories you can think of in different designs that are pretty, funky and weird... in a good way for a really dirt cheap price. I love it! Like the store title says, you can get 4 things for just $1. Amazing isn't it? My friends I and always take our sweet time whenever we come here because there's so much to see.

These were 4 for $1 (photo below). Funky earrings. They reminded me of  those big and chunky earrings from the 80's or 90's lol.

They also had some earrings priced at 2 for $1 (photo below). These pair of weird octopus looking earrings were very funky and gypsy-ish lol. I'm not sure how I will incorporate them in my clothes but I like them ^_^

This bracelet had a Victorian design and feel to it. It's so pretty! I really liked it.

They also had a variety of $1 accessories (photos below)

This was pretty cool because you get 3 pairs for a $1!

I love this funky bangle bracelet. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

That's pretty much it for my dirt cheap accessories haul. I'm happy with everything I got and the prices were awesome. I'll do another post whenever I get an accessory craving again lol. Thank you so much for visiting my blog ^_^

I love all my followers and blogger friends! Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts with me 

Crazy Cheap Clothing Haul (San Pedro Wholesale Mart/L.A.) Pt.2

This is going to be Part 2 of my L.A. Bargain Clothing haul where I'm going to show you guys where I love to shop in L.A. specifically in the Downtown/Fashion District area. Click HERE to check my previous bargain haul. Anyway, I'm excited to share this information with you guys because this place is an absolute bargain shopping heaven for me. I've been coming to this place for years since high school. My friend Esmeralda took me to this place and ever since, I pretty much stopped buying clothes at the mall. Well not really lol, I still go to the mall but I just go straight to the sale section ^_^

San Pedro Wholesale Mart

Located in the Fashion District on 11th and San Pedro st not too far from the Flower district and famous Santee Alley.  This mall consists of hundreds of wholesale retailers who sells clothes in bulks or by the dozen. It's open to the public only on Saturdays from 7am-11am or a little later. It's so cool how you can buy new clothes for a really crazy cheap price. I'm talking about deals like 3 for $10, 4 for $10, $5 on dresses, $10 on jeans, denim jackets, prom dresses and etc. It's really amazing and, your $50 will take you  along way and it's TAX FREE!

People come here every Saturday from all over L.A. county with their huge luggage, yes a huge luggage ready to be filled with clothes and stuff. I get anxious and I get this rush when I start shopping. There's so many cute clothes and they always in trend, no joke! Also, a lot of familiar brand names like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Wet Seal and many more can be found here.

I always come home with several huge and heavy black plastic bags. I know they're ugly for shopping bags but I don't care!!!

All of these clothes are worth $80-90 bucks. Every time I go, I spent about $60-90 bucks. I can go whenever I want because I live 10 minutes away.

This is kind of the overview of the mall but this is not the whole thing because there are more in the back. Also, newly opened wholesale mall behind and next to this one just opened. It will be in my next clothing haul post^_^

There are 2 levels filled with nothing but racks of clothes everywhere OMG!

This photo is an example of a typical sign for pricing that you will see everywhere

This photo is pretty cool!. This is just 1/3 of the back of the mall. There's more on the other end. It feels like its never ending, no joke! This is around 7am.

I can only show you guys photos but you seriously have to be at this place to fully understand my excitement. I love it!

...so onto my haul, I always start at the back of the mall because I noticed that the prices are even more cheaper in the back.Then I work my way to the middle I save the front for last.

I got these 4 jackets for $10 in a store called EBE. These are sample jackets. The 2 denim jackets are new, undamaged and they fit perfectly.

On the other hand, these light blue and black jacket has holes in them and a sign that says SAMPLE are written inside with a marker. Even though, they're kind of damage, I don't really care since they can be fixed.

Next to the EBE is a store called 03EVERLY where they sell dresses for $5. All these cute dresses are $5 each

I especially love this metallic silver grayish dress. It's so flirty and girly and it's only $5!

They were also selling 3 for $10 tops and cardigans so I got these.

`

This long sleeves shirt reminds me of something you would see at Forever21 or H&M.

I got these super cute Jeggings somewhere in the middle of the mall for $7 each. Jeggings are in between tights and jeans. So they are super tight and stretchy jeans. These are actually my first Jeggings and I'm glad I didn't pay a lot for them ^_^

I got this dark gray cardigan by Fredericks of Hollywood for $5.

Aubergine cardigan for $5

This jacket with a furry hood is only $10

Cute striped hot pink and black hoodie by Wetseal was only $5. The tag is still on it.

I got this silk cardigan by George Me, a walmart brand for $8 bucks. One of my subbie friends told me this was a UK brand. Its the cutest grandma cardigan and fits nice and comfortable. I love it!

Black lacey and ruffly top and striped blue and white dress for $4 each!

Things you must know:
-This place is only open to the public on Saturdays from 7-11am or a little later. Yes, people do get up super early on a Saturday to shop and, I suggest to go early because so you can find good a good parking spot.

-There is parking on top of the building. It's $5 bucks for 4 hours.

-All the clothes being sold are brand new and most still have tags on them.

-I don't recommend bringing your kids. It gets really crowded.

-There are slight damages in some of the clothes. Inspect before you buy. The clothes with holes will be in a specific rack.

-There is no dressing room. You just have to know your size.

-Cash only. They don't accept credit cards. However, an ATM machine can be found on the second level.

-Tax free and no receipt so all sales are final.

-It's 50cents to use the bathroom and it's pretty clean.

-There's an on site Food Court on the second level. Yummy Korean food!
