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

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

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

Say NO to Foam Flops

Usually when I shop at Ross, I don't expect to see any sandals slightly dressier than flip flops. I'm not referring to dress sandals. But sandals that are casual without the over-casual tacky flip flops. However, I was in luck while on my last trip to Ross. I thought to myself, "Forget the Havaianas, they're hopeless (to find). I'll get these instead!" The best part?... only $7.99!

Also available in white, yellow, red, and turquoise.

Went thrifting today at Salvation Army and got this dress for $3! I altered it so that it's shorter. I folded it up and sewed a seam across the bust... so it's a bit babydoll-ish. =) It looks better in person by the way.

yellow plastic headband: very very old
dress: thrifted at Salvation Army
shoes: Target

Buys from the City

Most of yesterday's day was spent in San Francisco shopping with my friends after eating lunch at Buca di Beppo. When I'm in the city, I absolutely must make a stop for Urban Outfitters. I was elated when I discovered that the clearance items were an additional 50% off! =D I think we spent nearly two hours in that store. o.0 (Sorry, Roxi and Bro! =X)


Kimchi & Blue - Bright Stripes Cardigan $5


Floral Ruffle Umbrella $5


(I also bought a small wall hanging for $2.50 for my sister.)


One of my best friends, Connie, spoiled me with this necklace from Hot Topic! =D

I love them so much I had to post about it. haha! I had wanted these, but they were a size six. Since my sister's that size, I demanded that she try them on, and she ended up buying them (only $2.99). =P I'm so envious! I love the details of these heels!

I picked up a vintage romper pattern for 29cents (along with the shorts from the previous post).

Shorts Emergency

I've been in a desperate need for new shorts! The only two shorts I owned were too big for me now. They were also pretty short. Since I'm getting older now, I decided I should start wearing shorts with a longer length. Not as long as a bermuda length however; They make me look stumpy.

I also decided that I need a variety of different shorts: denim, black, and a print (most likely a plaid). I stay away from white bottoms because I feel exposed in them. Most white bottoms seem pretty sheer to me. I also stay away from khaki bottoms, just because I feel they don't suit me.

So I kept my eye out, and most of the ones I was attracted to were ones with cuffs. I believe cuffed shorts are the trend now, as I have been spotting them all over the place. So far, I've purchased two pairs of shorts.


Patrick Robinson for Target denim shorts - dark wash, $24.50

I love the length, and I love all the details! There are zipper pockets in the front and in the back. There's a short knit elastic band in the back of the waistband. I also like that it's not a low waist. And it fits my tush nicely!


Express "short short" - Hampton Blue color, $3.66!!!! (originally $24.50)

They were 25% off, plus I had a $15off coupon! I know these aren't exactly a much longer style, but they're still longer than my old shorts. For the price, I'm not complaining! I love it's wide waistband and cute pleats. I would have wanted these in black though. However, for the $24.50 original price, there were none.

I'm still on the hunt for black shorts and a printed pair. Express had some Editor style black shorts in the clearance racks for $14.99, but, unfortunately, none in my size. Maybe I'll try another Express store.

The Kills of the Thrift Hunt

I've been itching to thrift shop. So to reward myself for feeling confident that I did well on an exam today, I headed to Thrift Town! Here are my purchases:


sheer lace print top ($2.99)

yellow embroibered top/tunic/dress ($5.99)

bronze Rocketdog flats ($3.99)

I saw a pair of Coach sneakers for only $4.99, but I couldn't see myself wearing them. But now I kinda regret not getting them. -_- Someone probably bought it already. Oh well.

Motivational Swimsuit

Crochet swimsuits are yum, too! I took a leap and bought a two piece [that's not a tankini]! It's flattering, but I still need some more working out to do. The hard part is jumping back on the horse. =P (Looks better in real life than in the picture.)


Target's Mossimo crochet swimwear
($8.98 each piece)


Target's latest Go:International designer's Patrick Robinson. I love his Grecian/Bohemian-feel collection, especially all the medallion print pieces. At the Target I shopped at today, I had wanted to try on the medallion print one piece, but they only had extra-small and extra-large available. =( Hopefully the next Target I go to will have my size in stock so that I can see how it fits on me.
EDIT (05.10.07) Went to another Target today. Tried it, fit it, looked good in it, bought it! w00t! hahaha!

Yes, I am a compulsive shopper.

Though I generally tend not to spend an extravagant price on anything, I often accumulate many good priced things which add up extravagantly. haha! I rarely pay full price for anything.

On occasion I do find myself splurging, but it has to be something I'm dying to have. For instance, Tokidoki created by the creative Italian artist, Simone Legno; I have such a weak spot for Tokidoki (hence the layout)! My latest splurge?... This Tokidoki hoodie, which cost me a total of $102.32. =P I didn't want to shell out money for it at the time because I was somewhat low on funds. But I knew if I didn't get it then that it'd be sold out with the quickness. Good thing I did get it when I did; Metropark's stock of Tokidoki hoodies was gone within two days.


Yummy! =d
(Photo not of me.)

Besides this hoodie, my Tokidoki collection consists of two Tokidoki for LeSportsac purses (Dolce - Summer '06 print & Gioco - Citta print), a Tokidoki for LeSportsac duffle (Luna - Citta print), and a Tokidoki for LeSportsac wallet (Denaro - Summer '06 print).

Tokidoki has also collaborated with Fornarina by making shoes -- heels and sneakers. In the near future, Tokidoki will be releasing items collaborated with Hello Kitty, which I'm also a big fan of! I'm so excited!
