Slowly Purging
for sale
I've got a lot of clothes and accessories that I haven't touched in a while or haven't even worn at all. So I'll be selling them. Most are $5 and under. =) Go shop!
Great Wear Really is Great
I know I'm up pretty late, but I can't get to sleep just yet. You know how you get a burst of energy after a workout? Yeah. So now I'd like to rave about my recent discovery of the perfect eyeliner. Maybelline's Great Wear waterproof and smudgeproof eyeliner is really what it's name indicates, great wear. It glides on so smoothly, and does not smudge throughout the day! Even after my workout, it stayed put. I bought them in a variety of colors: onyx, dark chocolate, deep plum, jade. After I first tried this eyeliner, I stocked up on some more. I got them at the 99cent store. I know, you're thinking You use makeup from the 99cent store?! But not to worry, they still work wonders. Plus can't beat the price when they're regularly $6!

Thrift Finds
Haven't been thrifting in what seems like ages! =P So I headed to my usual shop, Thrift Town, today to do some hunting. And I found some great stuff!
I absolutely love this retro/vintage swimsuit by Sirena! The padding made my breasts look abnormal, so I ripped them out. Now it's perfection! Bought for $3.99.
I've been searching eBay for boots like these. Good thing I held off, cuz I bought these for $4.99.
I like this straw clutch wallet, but not exactly sure when I'd use it. But at 69cents, I just bought it anyway. haha
Tokidoki will Make Me VERY Poor
Hello, Buon Viaggio (I think) in Tutti print! You shall be my next purchase (along with Bitten coats). *drooool* =d Oh, and I do believe that the new Tutti prints come with a new qee! =D

Cheap UO Goodness
By way of Kori, I came across a bountiful abundance of great bargains in Urban Outfitters' sale sections. I didn't find anything I like in apparel, but many of the shoes and accessories were marked down to as low as $1.99! So the "compulsive shopper" in me bought these lovelies! (Ken's sister and I ordered together to split shipping costs. =D)
Floral Printed Mary Janes $1.99!!!
I got both since they're so cheap.
Canvas Quarterstrap Flat $4.99
Rope Belt $4.99
Filigree Pendant $4.99
Embossed Horseshoe Necklace $4.99
DIY: Jersey Wrapped Pearl Necklace & Knotted Headwrap
click to enlarge
While browsing Style Bubble, I discovered some beautiful jewelry by a designer by the name of Maria Lau. One of the peices, however, especially caught my eye because of it's simplicity to recreate -- a jersey knit wrapped pearl necklace! Sew some tubes of jersey knit big enough to cover the pearls, but tight enough to show off their curvature. String the pearls, then encase them with the tubes. Finish of the closure, and you're complete!

I was about to purchase this knotted headwrap at Urban Outfitters, but I stopped myself thinking I could make it myself. I have a love for headbands/headscarves/headwraps! Sew a tube of fabric a little longer than the circumference of your skull, tie a knot in the middle, iron down to crease the sides, and then sew the ends together. Viola! =P
Revolve Clothing
Is it possible to fall in love with an online boutique? I can't get enough out of RevolveClothing! Everything in this store makes me salivate. However, most everything they sell is expensive. I've made a purchase once, and I have to say that that was the fastest anything bought online has arrived on my doorstep. Free 2-3 day priority shipping and free return shipping! That's my type of shipping! haha!
Their shoe department is just gorgeous! I love these! mMmm, gotta love the ankle strap(s).
Lamb - Oxford Pump $312
Nanette Lepore - Bombshell Heel $198
Nanette Lepore - Glamour Girl Wedge $233
Twelfth Street Candie Bow Tie Mary Janes $159
Twelfth Street Bettina Eyelet T-Strap Wedge $189
Since I'm already tall (for an Asian at least), I usually don't wear anything higher than one inch. But if these were within my buget, I'd snatch them up with the quickness and pray that my boyfriend is another 4inches taller the next time I see him. hahaha! Just kidding, Ken! =P

S&B's Grand Openning!!!
My wish has come true! Steve & Barry's Newpark mall (in Newark) grand openning will be August 1rst! As soon as Mochi (my sister, who's real name is Emily) comes home from Irvine, we will hit it up and cross our fingers hoping that the Bitten coats will be stocked early... before we head to Hawaii. If not, I'll make the boyfriend go grab some for us. mwahahahaha!

Harajuku Lovers Lover?
enlarge
I have never been a real fan of Gwen Stefani's line of handbags Harajuku Lovers because I'm obsessed with Tokidoki. But for some odd reason, I found myself buying one, "First Class" style bag in the Carousel print. o.0 Why? I don't know. I don't need one. It's cute, but I'm not in love with it. The only use I'd put into it would be to carry my textbooks. Hmm, so I don't know whether I should keep it. What do you think?
Oh yes, I decided to keep the dress
