Je veux te voir

I am pretending that it is not heinously hot out these days and sporting some lovely vintage scarves for fall. By the way, the ones I have put in the store are selling nicely. (Oh I have pictures of the store that I want to put up as well!)




a better picture of my new haircut, of which I am in love with but cannot seem to style without the help of dear zach.



Getting ready to go out, wondering how I could possibly be so unphotogenic? Oh and that is my dear friend Aaron.

Summer Sale craze? I say STOP!!!

S

Summer sale… summer sale. Arrgghh!! When it’s gonna be officially over? Can’t someone just say STOP for a while? It’s already end of August!! My credit and debit card are awfully exhausted by now.What not… first, summer sale start in mid June due to the credit crunch fiasco happening early this year. So the stores try to attract shoppers (like moi!) by flagging the red “SALE” banner.

For me though, any sale won’t start if Selfridges and Harrods don’t say so. (Love the Harrods ad… “There is only ONE Harrods, There is only ONE Sale. Harrods SALE”). Why?? Well who don’t like to grab bargains (real bargains wa tell u) from hundreds of pounds down to less than £100! I even went there on the first day of their sale, coz I considered myself as “regular”. Regular in my definition; shirt size 14.5–15.5 (36-38); pant 30W, 32L; shoe 9 or 10. If I don’t go early… no hope for me. I’ll get nothing! Thankfully I could grab Fendi patent boots from Harrods at half price, and another Kenneth Cole patent leather boots at Selfridges for just £65! What a silly bargain! But damn, I really love that Gucci mock lizard boots but couldn’t get my hands into (otherwise I blew my 3 weeks rent!!).

But my shopping adventure doesn’t stop there. Got some nice shirts and lace-up patent shoe at Zara, a gorgeous suit from River Island, tote bag from Burberry and FCUK, polos at Gap and some Calvin Klein hipsters (damn it’s so comfy, that’s why people love it!). All at discounted prices. I also wait for sale at Next, since some of their shirts are nice. Those Next people are silly smart coz they do a bit later (late July, when I start to go broke ;-P). When they do sale, their door opened at 5.00 am, so I knew all the items that I want (or would want) won’t be there anymore by the time I reached there at late morning. But thank God, when I do arrived all the sale items are like shit! LOL!!

And now, by the time people think summer sale is over, PCWORLD start having their sale. What? Not fair! Dear card… if u wouldn’t mind I really wanna grab that portable 320Gb hard disk!

Please...STOP all the SALES for the time being!! (Still waiting for mid-season sale in October though…)

I'm bad luck

I have been a poor blogger lately...what with moving back to school and catching up with my friends. I need to start taking more pictures, too....but here is the outfit I wore tonight! I ordered several pairs of new shoes from forever21, and I love them all. I am wearing one pair of them here. My friend Zach also gave me a hot new haircut, however this is pre-hairspray and teasing.





So sorry for the poor quality, mirror shots do this no justice. I had no clean white tanks, so I cut the sleeves and v neck out of one of my hanes tees, and the skirt is Richard Chai for Target. Doesn't it remind you of the nightmare before Christmas? Something about the color palate. And I do not remember where I got those stirrup leggings/tights, but they have been sitting in my drawer for many months now.





now I am praying to the rain gods to make it stop before tomorrow so that I can drive my car to cool springs and get my window fixed. Tonight it would not roll up and now I have a trash bag (badly) taped to the window, and rain is pouring in as we speak. I am also hoping that no one breaks into it and/or tries to steal it....

S

definitely...maybe...

Here are some things I snatched up today at the Salvation Army!!



This skirt is so cute and perfect for summer, it's so lightweight and doesn't need to be altered. yay!
The purse is so 80s I love it, it has a strap but I thought it was way more chic as a little clutch. Although, I would probably wear a darker shirt with it because in the photo I look sort of washed out. Or maybe that is just my very poor photography skills....



This is my favorite find. An acid wash major high waisted jean skirt. A little snug but perhaps it will stretch out a bit with wear. I want to wear it every single day. yes.







This skirt actually needs to be hemmed, but oh how I love plaid. I've secretly always wanted to go to a private school just so I could wear a plaid skirt or some sort of jumper. The little booties are hannah's and so they are a size too big. but they're so cute. Oh and by the way, yes, that is the portal to Narnia you are seeing there, the exact wardrobe, mmmhm.

So it is another rainy day in New Hampshire. I slept most of the afternoon having been up for too late last night talking to a ...ahem...boy...but looking through magazines today I kept coming across the D&G ready to wear ads featuring the most beautiful and clashy plaid dresses, blazers and tights. Last month on my goodwill and salvation army sprees, I came across armfuls of men's plaid button-downs, and decided to buy several. I've altered most of them, making them skinnier and a bit shorter when needed, and plan to wear them belted over leggings with some little black ankle booties. oh fall, where are you? Not that we've had too much of a lovely summer with all of this rain and thunder...

So I have not posted in awhile, many apologies! But I have been working on so many cute little things for the store. I'm so excited! Here are some pictures of a few of the headbands I have made. I feel as though photobooth cannot do them justice, however, here they are....









The black feather one, among others I have made, are from old feather hats from the 30s and 40s. The brown one is a fur and velvet headband that was still in really good condition and really cute. I added the vintage gem, too. I would never normally condone wearing or buying fur, however this is so old and and working with it I have developed this little sentimental attachment to it. I got so lucky with the entire suitcase full of old hats that my mom had just lying around here...

now I am going to go eat my ramen noodles and then go hang out with a friend!
