Present for myself

I heard that Anthro card members get 15% discount card on their birthday month but I did not receive mine. So I called the customer service and they sent it to me for October  :)

The Dagmer Shirtdress was something I knew it was really for me (the wine red color and the flowers!) and I tried it on twice in the past... I just felt guilty to buy it even on sale because it is still pretty expensive.
Because of the 15% discount and thanks to my good friends from WA sending me the Anthro gift certificates, (Thank you, Brannon & Maile!), I felt less guilty to bring back this gorgeous dress home.

Those belts are something I noticed while ago... I don't really wear belts for practical reasons so they have to be fashionable.
Both red and blue colors looked good with the Dagmer Shirtdress and could not decide which one to get... so I got them both  :)

Recent Purchase: from Betsey Johnson Outlet

Today, tenshi and I were driving up north for skydiving as part of his birthday gift. As soon as we got to the area, we noticed that it was very foggy... and the skydiving company called us to cancel the jump!
We were already in that area but luckly there is a huge outlet mall close to the airport :)

I always liked Betsey Johnson's crazy designs but never owned anything... mostly because her pieces are too expensive.
This time, they had 3 full racks of $50 clothes and a sign said "buy 1 get 1 free" which means you can buythe B.J. pieces for $25 a piece!?

So here are the results:


 Betsey Johnson "Plad Wool Jumper"
$325 → $25



Betsey Johnson "Black Denim Jacket"
$275 → $25

Wishlist: Anthropologie "Splendid Vinca Sweatercoat"

Today, I received a belated birthday discount card from Anthropologie.
I can use the 15% off discount for both regular and sale items for the whole month of October!!
Dangerous...
This is a piece I have loved since I saw it online.
I have not seen it in the store yet though... I LOVE the little detail on the back!

Mini Chandeliers

I always liked chandeliers. Not those huge ones that rich people have in their hallways or dining rooms, but the little mini ones.
I cannot decide if I want the crystal ones or black ones.
Here are some of the ones I found online.
None of them are quite perfect yet.
The search continues...

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"

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.

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.

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 !!
