Recent Purchase: Anthropologie "Gleaming Shoots Blouse"

I had this top on my wishlist since March but it went on sale while I was in Japan in April.
I kept seeing other bloggers wearing this cute top so I finally decided to buy it on ebay.
This top looks great with my recent two purchases from Anthro:
"Rock Slide Skirt" and "Across The Bow Jacket"


Anthropologie "Gleaming Shoots Blouse"
by Girls from Savoy
$88 → $34.99 (ebay)

Recent Purchase: Free People 'Baltic Sea Trapeze' Lace Inset Top

I went to Loehmann's after work today.
It had to be today because my 15% birthday discount was expireing today, plus I just received an additional 20% off coupon in the mail yesterday.
This is what I found... not really my style but it is comfortable and I think it will be great to wear it on the airplain when I go to Japan on business next month.

Free People
$98 →
$44.99(Loehmann's price) →
$38.24 (b-day discount) →
$30.59 (20% off coupon)

I found a cheaper than Nordstrom price here ($43.79)

Wishlist: Urban Outfitters "Madras by A.P.C. Pleated Dress"

Lately, I have not found that many clothes I like from Urban Outfitters but I found this cute plaid dress that would be great for the fall.
But the price is pretty high... especially for U.O.   :(

$195

2 nice purses from Urban Outfitters

I saw these two purses at Urban Outfitters last weekend.
They are both boxy and light.
I think they are very good size and useful.

Recent Purchase: Boden "Easygooing Silk Dress"

I love second hand stores, not only for the prices but also for the great discoveries.
I go to stores like Crossroads Trading, Wasteland, and Buffalo Exchange to buy/sell clothes.
Today,  I went to Crossroads and found a lovely dress from a brand called Boden.



$128 → $51(online sale price)
 → $27.50(Crossroads price)

Recent Purchase: Anthropologie "Across The Bow Jacket"

I don't really own "sporty" clothes, and I always wanted a hoodie which is girly.
This jacket is very comfortable and the bow makes it pretty girly, but not too much.

by Saturday/Sunday
$68 → $29.95

CRAZY!! Addidas x Jeremy Scott "Teddy Bear Sneakers"

I usually write about the things I want to own or things I purchased.
However, I feel like it is okay to write about something that is shocking ... as long as it is related to "fashion".
My co-worker is very into shoes.
He always wear interesting design or color shoes, mostly Nike.
I usually do not care about sneakers but he started showing me interesting designed shoes today online... and we found these!!

Addidas x Jeremy Scott
"Teddy Bear Sneakers"

Jeremy Scott is an American fashion designer born in Kansas City Missouri. He attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York for fashion design. Scott started his runway career in Paris and has since shown collections in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, London, and Moscow.

Scott is known for his high octane and outrageous designs favoured by pop stars and celebrities, like Madonna, Rihanna, Bjork, Paris Hilton, and Gwen Stefani.


Coming to you Spring 2011




 My co-worker said he will try to buy the pink ones. I thought he was crazy first, but more I look at them... don't you think the beige ones would look great on me??     :p



Same designer also designed these "Wing" sneakers.
They are kinda cool. 








Swarovski studded Jeremy Scott Adidas Sneakers

Teaming up with Swarovski, Jeremy Scott works up an even flashier version of his adidas Originals J-Wings sneakers, this time fully encrusted with Swarovski crystals throughout the uppers and onto the midsoles. What makes these more exclusive is not just the fact that it is made of leather and Swarovski crystals or that it can be purchased by order from Colette alone, but the fact that they are available only in one size in us size 11. The sneakers are priced at $3690 !!

Chooka Rain Boots!

I always liked rain boots. However, since I live in the sunny California, I thought I would not have a chance to wear them too much.
Till I found Chooka Rain Boots...!!
A lot of Chooka designs are very simple and many of the rain boots do not even look like rain boots.
I can wear them on the regular sunny days!

These pair would be my first choice without doubt.
$79.95 → $49.80


These are very cute and fashionable too.
And... the cheapest!
$79.95 → $31.98


These are great for fall/winter with knee length pants.
$65.95


These are very versatile.
Great for classic look, or for Goth/Punk Friday!
$69.95


And if I really want "Rain Boots" looking rain boots...
$59.95

Recent Purchase: Anthropologie "Rock Slide Skirt"

I got my bottom two wisdom teeth taken out last Thursday. Two days before that on Tuesday, I have noticed that the skirt on my wishlist went on sale.
I called the nearest Anthropologie from work to hold my size and went to pick it up on Wednesday. Few days have passed since the surgery but I still look like a chipmunk... at least a chipmunk with a pretty skirt  :P

Recent Purchase: Romeo and Juliet Couture Dress

I love going to Loehmann's to buy great pieces for discounted prices.
I saw some Mac by Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Tam, Free People, Theory for amazing prices.
Romeo and Juliet Couture is one of the brands that I check out everytime I go to Loehmann's.

The top I bought is very simple and I need to accessorize it a lot... but very comfortable and I can wear it with jeans or leggings!

Gift for myself at Anthropologie

So my manager called me on Monday telling me I had to meet with the director in an hour.
Last time I had a meeting with her, I got temporary laid off. The time before I had a meeting with her, she told me to go to England for a business trip.
So I figured I should pack up my desk either way.
I was nervous to see her... either being out of work for few weeks again, or going somewhere far far away again...

Not.
It was neither of them.

☆  I got promoted !! ☆

To celebrate my little promotion at work, I went to Anthropologie to get myself this necklace that I have been stalking and waiting to go on sale for few weeks.
This is my first Anthropologie purchase that is not from the sale section. I feel like I am a grown up now  :)


Anthropologie "Pessinus Garden Necklace"
$32
(sold out online)


I was deciding between the silver one and this gold one.
The gold one is pretty nice too.

I also checked out the sale section and found this pretty cardigan.
