Coach Outlet day!!

This weekend sucked... too much emotional drama, relationship drama, family drama, school work etc etc etc that everything went by in a sleepy-psychotic blur. Sadly I got nothing done... (3 essays to do!!!) so shit, life sucks. So let's flashback to last weekend, which was diviiiine :D....



Naturally, every pic spam must start with an outfit pic!! lol This is my new LipService top I bought from Mitsu @ http://www.universal-doll.com I am in looooove!!! (though it kinda gives me pregger belly mrrrr.




Ahhh it's so close you can see all my flawsss D: Heather zoomed too muchhhh


There it is!!! :D


That's me and Heather!! In the bathroom...very glamorous, yes?





An outfit I tried on in Papaya. Kinda regret not buying it... at least the shorts are on the website BUT THE SHIRT ISN'T AHHHH. :[ I'm too lazy to drive back out there, lol.





My purchases!!



This was what was collectively bought. My stuff is top right; pink wallet and strawberry change purse thingie (not really quite sure what it is, lol! it was just cute!) I've wanted that wallet since it first came out...around valentine's day (of course) buuutt I already have a Coach wallet and i was hesitant to lay down $200 for another one.... so I waited. It was gone from the retail store but still on the website. Still...couldn't buy it. At the outlet...IT WAS JUUST MEANT TO BE!!!! There it was!!! for cheaper AND i got a 30% discount from store people... :D of course I caved and bought it. $91 instead of almost $200. yayyy.

april showers

It's one of those muggy, humid, thuderstorming-on-and-off spring days. Makes my internet slow :[ I hope that it doesn't go out while I'm trying to update here and print out readings for school D:

This weekend my girlfriend was here visiting :] She lives in PA, so we usually only get to see each other once a month because a) gas is expensive and b) she works the weekends and c) we're both busy with schoolwork during the school year. But she's on her last week of school for the semester, lucky her! I have three more weeks.

Anyway, we spent the weekend not doing much lol. We shopped at two different malls (involving a trip to the new Coach outlet around here!!), watched Burlesque, Beetlejuice, Adam, uhh...Sukiyaki Western Django (again, lol) and ate lots of candy!!! You can see what our two major past times are: spending money and watching movies xD I'll include pics from this weekend in another post.

I need to catch up a little first...



I finally found an OPI Shatter!! yayayaya. I got the Essie on sale...buy one get TWO free (my girlfriend got the third one), and when in Ulta I accidentally stumbled upon the Urban Decay Naked Palette!!! YAYAYAYAYA. I went in to buy nailpolish, found that, ditched my planned buys and bought that lololol. soooo worth it though. I'm happy to finally have it :D





Sooo...story behind this... I pulled an allnighter...Tuesday going into Wednesday, writng an essay about a fucking Melville book (I do not like Melville) and uh, I actually finished around 3am, but I had to get up for work at 5:30am, so I figured I'd prolly feel like worse shit if I tried to sleep and had to wake up again so fast... so instead I dressed up for school which I'd have that evening. Lesson learned: dont ever pull allnighters. all day I felt like I was on drugs and couldn't focus and almost fell asleep driving (I couldnt remember getting to school!!!) It was bad...and I'd never drank so much coffee in one day, sheesh. Buy yeah... curled my hair in the morning and as you can see it was gone by 3pm when I changed for school. rawrrrr. so mad. but I needed the practice cos i can't curl hair lol.

better go focus on some reading and hw, since I just spent myself broke this weekend lol.

fighting spirit!!

Yesterday I shopped when I shouldn’t have, but I guess that’s the story of every girl’s life, right? As I said yesterday I had planned on going to the mall after getting school work done…. I ate a yummy lunch at panera, picked up some makeup for my mom and was disappointed the MAC store was out of the Quite Cute lipstick I wanted :[ But I did accidentally find the cutest swimsuit ever while on my way to the bathroom:



I shouldn’t have spent the money, but I knew I’d regret it, really, really regret it. Plus now I finally have a swim suit! I can check if off of my summer gets list. Then meandering through Icing I found this super cute beret!



I’ve been so in love with hats as the days go by and keep telling myself I need more… This was only two dollars on sale so naturally I’d be a fool to say no. Weeks ago I saw something like this in Papaya, but passed it up. In the end, it kinda found its way back to me? XD

I’ll end this with outfits from the last few days.

a package....for me!?



my first package from Japan in a long time!



Helloooooo yumetenbo one piece!!!! It's sooo cute in person and really soft. I kinda guessed in sizes...since the only sizing related japanese characters I understand are bust/waist/hips and for this paticular garment nothing was listed... I got an L and it fits perfectly!! (I'm 34/27/35 btw) I love loose fitting tops and wearing them with tights so I'm actually wearing that one piece coordinated as I type this, lol.

I ordered this through the englih rakuten and WOW it came so fast!! I got my order confirmation 4/3 and another email 4/5. Then yesterday 4/8 I came home and voila! package waiting for me. :] I would not hesitate to order from them again, I just wish I knew japanese so I can understand sizes and stuff on the site better T3T

Other news, had some good and bad things happen at school this week. Lesson learned that I need to kick my ass and do my work. aahhhh school weighs me down so much, I'm not having fun in life anymore :[ During summer I'm taking a second job to hopefully raise funds for school... and hopefully I can win some scholarship money to help out as well, sighh... selfish, fashon pert of me wants money to spend on me, me, me!! lolol. Anyway, today I'm going to the library to hopefully do some serious studying/work without the distractions that home has... it better not be too crowded bleehh.

Library is right next to mall so maybe I stop in ehhhh, hohoho :3 I want to check my MAC store for the Quite Cute lipsticks... I had the chance to get them online, but the Quite Cute color, the light purple, didn't look as purple as the stock photos I saw before they were released and so I wanted to go see them in person.... now they sold out online and i hope my MAC store has the purple left... siiiigh. not that I should be spending money fffff.

back in gyaru form!

I think I got that gyaru spark back in me, at least for the last week and even continuing today :) Even though it's raining and the weather sucks. Figures, right? speaking of gyaru, I ordered a one-piece from yumetenbo! My first 'actual' gal brand (if you can call it a brand, lol) I bought the black. :) I saw it online and wasn't sure, but I kept thinking of coordinate ideas in my head. I knew if I didnt get it I might regret it. Plus, in some weird train of thought, 'I'm helping Japan's economy'? XD any excuse to shop, ya? I have to head out to school, so I don't really have time to update about much. So here are my recent 'gal renewal' outfits :]

The cute cardigan with ruffles was purchases at Charlotte Russe for 5 bucks (day before I shopped after xmas sales *_*) Fake uggs were new, and THERES MY NEW COACH BAG <333 since i cannot afford Chanel at this point, I made the best of my obssession with that black x white Coach bag, lol.






about this outfit: ahhh blurry first photo. first time i got to wear that shirt. I bought it at h&m and looove it. I have a thing for oversized tops (esp sweaters). as always, switching up my makeup style. I dont have bottom lashes atm and gotta figure something out lol. also, i fail at wearing an usamimi.

xmas shopping done!



It all fits in those bags. 75% of the presents are for two people, lol. I also have a package from Coach on the way to add to that pile.

Christmas is expensive!!! Next year, I swear I'm putting like a hundred dollar cap on presents. My girl, Heather, and our friend, Emily, bought me soo much!!! I know they do it 'cos they love me, but then I feel obligated to get them more and then feel bad when I can't afford it. :[



(naturally, I couldn't help but get myself a few things after braving the mall yesterday! >_>)

I can't wait for Christmas week!!! I took off from work the 25-2 to go to PA to spend time with Heather <3333 it will be a wonderful break from work, school, and the world :]

Speaking of school, I'm still waiting to hear from Sallie Mae about my loan stuff. There was a deadline of Dec 14 but Idk if that was to just start or to be done...idk. COLLEGE IS SO CONFUSING. it's all nonsense. very EXPENSIVE nonsense. ugh.

Work party tonight at the Green Turtle, wonder what I shall wear. Then I need to kick my ass to finish that damn project/presentation for conflict resolution. UGHHHHH.

long time no blog

Been a while, bloggers. I've been busy with school, work, and spending time with my girl. And a lot of it is laziness ahhhhhhhh. I don't even have time for a proper update, so I'm just going to play catch up with outfits and shopping stuff.

stuff i've bought recently;

All purchased at Icing with their Five for Ten deal!

A coat purchased at American Eagle on black friday. sorry, no makeup :x

Coach wristlet my girl bought me!

Vera Bradley sunglasses case. I keep breaking sunglasses in my purse, so a hard case was my only option T^T


GIANT CAT PAWSSSSSSSSSSS. enough said.

today is about productivity!!

Hey, hey, girls. I am just on a role today about getting things done (homework, laundry, cleaning....) so why not keep it going with updating my blog!

First off, for class Thursday I was inspired to dress with a japanese school girl theme....





sorry, weird face turns ahaha.... no makeup on my bottom line either, just mascara :x (and ggaahhhh seriously need my eyebrows done >[ ) Uumm, I felt really self councious that day because a lot of people stared and made comments : [ especially when I stopped by the mall. But I survived!

Yesterday I went to my state's Ren Faire. When I went down for breakfast that morning, my dad out of the blue offered to take me. It was the last weekend and I decided I wanted to go. Considering I went with my dad, I had an alright time. He was in a good mood. I bought the much sought after gyaru animal/fox tail....



as well as some tea, essential oil, and a present for two of my friends. That day was also when we celebrated my mom's birthday, so that evening my family and I ate steamed shrimp, ice cream cake, and strawberry daiquiris ;3 All in all, yesterday was pretty freakin fantastic. (I also got some leggings in the mail I ordered!! so I was excited about that tooooo)

shopping

It was a rare moment for me... I actually wasn't lazy! haha. I was inspired by this post of the lovely Violet LeBeaux. :) Except I made a pretty holder for my earrings! (because I have a ZILLION D:)

First my earrings looked like this..

Pretty boring, hard to find anything...

THEN..... it became.....


Uploaded with
ImageShack.us

Ta da! I fixed a few of the earrings after i took this pic, but for the most part it looks so much nicer! I got to used fabric that i left laying around and bought some sparkly pink foam. :] Now it's much easier to pick out earrings! The only challenge was my hoops... but i worked that out by poking a push pin in the foam and hanging the hoops on that. Then there's the other problem of I have *too* many earrings, lol.

I definitly have some king of earring addiction, lol. I just bought some new ones >_< (and then some other jewelry)









Then some stockings from Forever 21.... I wore the pair on the left yesterday and i LOVE them. I think I want to go back to F21 to get a backup pair, since most of my tights like to rip D:





Next post will be outfits! I'm so excited to get this blog going. Shopping swag, product reviews, hopefully some makeup talk, gal talk, style talk, etc etc. we'll see. :]

the kindest of kisses breaks the hardest of hearts

Hello lovelies. It's been a while. (rofl 2 months?? haha) I'm just so lazy when it comes to these things that I must try harder!!




Today, Jessy and I went out to buy cardmaking supplies. We bought lootsss of scrapbooking supplies at JoAnns. It was like $45 e_e we split it though. Then of COURSE we had to stop at Borders since it's right next store!!! Even though I should be xmas shopping for other people...I ended up with....

The book on the left is the latest book in the Meredith Gentry series. The previous book was SUPPOSED to be the last one, because the author seemed to really close the story. The ending was totally rushed though and I was disappointed with it. : [ But I am not sure what to think of this "new" one. I love the series. I love Fairies. Guess I'll see.

The book on the right is the first in The Sword of Truth series. It's the basis for the televison show Legend of the Seeker which I am SO IN LOVE WITH. (in fact, I just watched three episodes right before writing this :>) I can't wait to read the series because i want to know more about the characters and everything. askjdhaksjdhsa you can't tell, but it's a pretty damn thick book for a small paperback with itty bitty font. so on the brightside, it will take me a while and I can enjoy it more.

Back to cards. I made five! but cant show them cos I have bad lighting now :[ I made my parents, my girl's parents, and for Em. Jessy sadly wasn't very good at cardmaking. She got one done. I let her take the supplies to her place to work on her cards more. We're going to exchange material on Saturday so I can finish my cards.

Speaking of Legend of the Seeker, Jessy and I watched the first ep. I have a mission to get more people into the show that I love so much!!! She enjoyed it and really wanted to watch another episode, haha. But she had to go to work sooo another time! :]

then I proceeded to watch three episodes myself. XD but before that I read the Midnight Meat Train in Clive Barker's Books of Blood. Then I was bored and still in LotS mode, lol.

Ahhhh I'm soooo in love with Craig Horner!!!!
