New boots!

One pair is for H-ween but I will definitely wear them outside of that marvelous holiday.

Could you just die!  I ♥ supercheap eBay!

P.S. - You should know that fur boots are supertrendy in Japan right now.

I still want to get a pair like these:

Swoon!

Welcome my newest follower:  ♥Nur KissKat♥!  If I reach 20 I'll do a giveaway.  Tell your friends.  :) 

Cute hair + unflattering light...

My word fluorescent lighting is horrid!  I usually take my face close ups at home in flattering natural light but I was running so late this morning (shocker I know) and didn't have time.  So I took some pics at work and this is the best of four even though my bangs look a little messed up.  I'm wearing one of my new hair pins from Forever 21.  :)

I was told I "look tired" today and yes I do because I have to get up at the crack of why am I awake and am such a Bitter Betty about it.

Giraffe love...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this top!

Giraffe top from Forever 21, overshirt from Japan and necklace picture up close here from JCPenny.

Today I got some black skinny jeans and ripped them (on purpose).  Hopefully they look okay.  I cut one tear a little high up so I hope I can still wear them to work.  It's still too hot for them right now.  (They're saying unseasonably warm.)  Plus, they need to be washed so they'll fringe.

On another note I'd like to thank my new (and old) followers!  Thanks for taking an interest in my blog!

Thanks so much!

It's just another manic Monday...

Seriously, why was this day invented?  I hate getting up and I always end up leaving late because I just can't get going. 

Regardless, I managed to get myself into this outfit:

I was superexcited to find these leggins last week and wanted to wear them ASAP.  This was not the top that I had envisioned with this outfit but I think it turned out okay.  The verdict is still out on empire tops.  Sometimes, I think they are okay and other times I just think they make me look awful.  As cute as it is this outfit is it's somewhat impractical but I didn't shave.  It's supposed to be in the triple digits all this week.  I don't know about you but I am so over this summer.  It needs to cool down and now.

New York and Co. top and INC top both from Goodwill.  Polka dot leggins $6 from Wal-Mart.

Also, four pictures and my face was still not post material.  Ugh.  Mondays.

New furniture...

So, for the summer my tights have been shoved under my bed in a box and my sweaters in a suitcase.  Seeing that (hopefully) winter might make an appearance soon I needed some sort of storage unit for those items as my regular dresser is jam packed.  On a whim I went to Goodwill in the hopes of finding some cheapo shortie dresser.  Instead I found this weird antique:

It might be a good time to mention that I have a Sentra.  With the help of the Goodwill attendant and some bungee cords I shoved this into my trunk and drove a mile home at about 30MPH.  Oh and by the way this was $7.49.  Yes, you heard me right, $7.49.

Now, what the heck is it?  I think it may be one piece of three.  Add a piece on each side and you have a nice corner buffet or dresser.  What do you think?  (Note: There are no manufacture marks on it.)

Power Saturday!

Today we had to hustle to get the last items for Homecoming.  Those being shoes and jewelry.  We stopped at Forever 21, Claire's and H&M.  Lucky for me, I managed to pick up an essential item for Halloween.  Two more items to go.

Here are some things I got.  Green tiger top from H&M:

Ridiculously cheap hair accessories from Forever 21:

Thanks for having a tight sale Claire's:

I also got a military style top (totally trendy right now in Japan).  I totally came home and took like a 2 hour nap after that shopping trip.

Later, my sister who is in beauty school came over to do my child's hair & make-up for Homecoming.

Long beautiful curls!

She looks so beautiful!

Week end...

This week was ridiculously crazy busy.  I think I made two dinners this week and maybe three lunches. 

This week my WONDERFUL friend さきこ sent me these:

October More, CanCam and Scawaii with the おまけ in the background.  I have been so busy I haven't even read them yet!  I love きこ and I need to send her more things!

Oh by the way, I got my hair cut!  Welcome back to my head...bangs!

(Not the greatest mirror pic but you should notice the obvious bangs and shortened layers but not length.)

Both Old Navy tank and JCPenny shorts from Goodwill.

Next, you may remember this fashion disaster.  Well, I'm certain I found a remedy for that mistake and it totally worked because compliments were flying at me so fast I had to beat them off with a stick!

I got many a compliment on my hair and outfit.

So JCPenny decided to send me $10 in the mail.  I love those coupons (Kohl's sent me one for next week) $10 off a $10 purchase makes so much more sense to me than $10 off a $50 purchase.    Of course, I decided to exercise my mad shopping muscle.

These shoes:

This price tag:

Yes, that says $4.97.  Originally they were $50.  I also got this:

I got out of there spending a little over $7.  Yes, $7.  I am awesome.  My child got a supercute dress for Homecoming.  Pictures soon!  :)

I fell in love with these booties after seeing them in a Japanese magazine and man they are hard to find!  I mean a lot of eBay sellers from China had them but after the horrible experience I had with the faux Fergie shoes, I am wary of buying from Chinese sellers on the eBay.  So, I found these from a US seller and snatched them up.

Some not so fun shopping that I have to do early tomorrow is tire shopping.  Tires for my car are ridiculously expensive and I can't get them at Wal-Mart or Costco.  I have to go to Discount so I'm not looking forward to waiting around there.  However, Homecoming shopping continues tomorrow and we're going to look for shoes and jewelry to go with her dress.  We will be stopping at Forever 21 and H&M and probably Sprinkles Cupcakes.  ;)  Of course, if we can't find anything at those two stores there are others but I am excited about Forever 21 since I perused their site and saw all the supercheap things.

Polka dot...

I wore this today:

Oh black is such a magnificent color.  Top from H&M and skirt from Goodwill.

Here's a picture of my twinner (my daughter Kiki) and me:

I can't disclose why but yes this was planned.  Aren't we adorable!

I totally wear hats...

Today was hat day so I wore this hat from Kohl's that I've never worn before.

Kinda sparse on the accessories today, sorry about that.  Shirt from Japan, hat and leggins from Kohl's.  Fergie shoes.

Sunday I got this adorable pedi (sorry for those who don't like to look at feets):

Complete with jewels and glitter.  :)

Pretty Friday...

I was over at Universal Doll yesterday and found this post.  So I decided to try it.  :)

This is my day wear:

This is my evening wear:

I can't even remember where I got the scarf from since I got it AGES ago.  Boots from the Bay, vest from XI, necklace from Kohl's and the pink shirt is a packaged tee that I dyed.
