Felt Like Blogging


Thursday February 26, 2009   

I can’t believe it’s already 11pm! >O But at least tomorrow is Friday which = I can wear jeans to work :ureshii:


Got these tonight~

I’m sorta doing well with curbing my spending! I only actually BOUGHT Vivi tonight! Pinky & Non-no were already paid for via earlier prepaid subscriptions!! Even though I was REALLY tempted to buy Zipper! Really cute, spring issue plus WTF Tsubasa was in it!


I suppose she’ll become like Shoko and Meg and start doing monthly outfit photoshoots?? I also skipped on getting Soup that had a super cute Aiko on the cover~~!! I didn’t even flip through JJ or CanCam

So I mention all this BECAUSE I back ordered the I ♥ Ronson Romper!
THANK YOU TORI!
It’ll probably arrive early April just in time for my Birthday! And it was so cheap so whatever I walked away from spending on the rest of the line earlier this week so I win. No Lent breakage happening so far, hahah :celebrate:


The second pic of it creeps me out! Scary corpse model~~

I’m so happy I’ve made the switch from Non-no to Pinky~~ Even the ふろく is better! I’m much more excited about Pinky’s Alba Rosa bag than Non-no’s mirror. Though not that it matters… it’s the same publishing company so really I’m making a big fuss over nothing!

So Vivi was about double in size this month. I know a lot of people mentioned it and were excited by it all. I was of course interested too! The price was basically the same but over 400 pages! But is it just me or does the print quality seem a bit lower??? To save money??? I dunno, I just felt like it looked more like Sears catalog quality rather than “high-end magazine” if you will. Just my thoughts on it~

Poupee 2nd anniversary items were released today~~!! But again not all 66 items were released
So I just bought the tiara and will wait for the rest~ plus I liked my outfit too much today to change into the new stuff

And speaking of Poupee doesn’t this snap from Vivi totally remind you of the Naomi hair puffs!!!??

  2. kamille says:

    lol, tsubasa! that suprised me too. did vivi have many ads? 400 pages seem a lot, but thats worth the price. The romper looks really cute.

    • jenny says:

      Vivi always has a ton ‘o ads but I didn’t notice any higher ration or anything. It had like 3 or 4 booklets too which was crazy :P

  3. emm says:

    IS THAT
    anna tsuchiya on the cover of vivi?!?! aww she’s cool, i like her a lot now actually
    but yeah
    damn
    japanese magazines, they cost an arm here so i’ll keep my arm thanx
    and yeah i’ve been looking for some cute headbands
    i really would the naomi one irl lol
    sad sad
    my life is consisted of pixels only lo

  4. Midori says:

    So the 3 tiaras are the limited items? :3

  5. Maggie says:

    have you heard of vvshu.com?
    its not as good as having them to keep
    and sometimes i cant read all of the writing
    but it gives me something to do
    when im bored or procrastinating
    sorry if this was a dumb thing to say
    like if you defs already knew of it haha ^^

    TOO MANY MAGAZINES TO BUY!!
    I took an interest in that ViVi issue too, don’t normally look at it but 400 pages, that’s a catalogue! My head was hurting looking at all the scans, seriously they must have spent so long working on it. *claps* ViVi has certainly won the month.

    Tsubasa in Zipper! ..Okay. Strange as it is I now have an overwhelming urge to buy it. If we lived in Japan there would be no skipping right? Just buy every mag that’s out!

    It’s great that poupee keep releasing all these new items, but don’t they consider the financial situations of their members? I only spend ribbons buying official items, so my dress up closet is full of items I cannot sell, because I sold all my sell-able items to buy official ones!! It’s a constant struggle Katharine!

  7. Becky says:

    tsubasa in zipper eh… strange but… still cute XD

  8. Anna says:

    Haha! “Felt like blogging”

  9. Nicole says:

    I love Tsubasa, but it kind of annoys me how plastic she is with all of that surgery. In some pictures when she’s smiling, I think she looks like she’s crying or it’s painful to have to move her face. XD

    Yet she’s still so cute somehow, hahaha~

  10. Thao says:

    Haha, good effort on spending less. =]

  11. Caitlin says:

    I am so jealous of your cute romper and magazines, lucky girl!

    I have a question. I really like how all of your pictures have pink polka dots around the edges, how do you do that?

  12. Mai says:

    Thats such a cute romper XD! Do you have like a huge bookshelf dedicated to your magazines?

    I have a question of where you buy your magazines from, does it cost less to have it prepaid or does it just ensure you to get it. Also, does that place carry FRUiTS? I live in the D.C. metro area too so I’m assuming we’re talking about the same Japanese bookstore :3

    • jenny says:

      I actually do have a big shelf which I JUST had to replace to get more room and plan to post photos soon :)

      Yea the store’s called Taiga. They don’t get FRUiTS in but you could get a subscription through them. If I recall correctly, for a subscription you get like 10% discount and a year is 15% but I haven’t asked lately. It IS cheaper. Plus if you get your subscription during a time when the dollar is strong it can benefit you in the long run (haha!) It also ensures you have an issue waiting on you. I think they ship to houses too but that’s extra. Prices used to be about twice the yen amount but lately thanks to crap economy it’s triple~ *sigh*

  13. Honeydew says:

    Poupee. Whenever I go to buy items at the Kathrine shop, it always say that there are no items available for me to buy. Do I have to collect a certain number of ribbons to buy them or something?

    I don’t really get how poupee works so I rarely ever dress up my poupee girl. I just upload my photos on there. XD

    Btw, I’m also ♥Honeydew♥ from poupee. ^^

  14. Ys says:

    Hehe Poupee’s taking over your life like it has with mine! ;) I ended up spending 280 ribbons this morning on the new stuff! I have to stop doing that ;)

    Well done on being so good with curbing your spending. We were meant to be saving lots but just lately we’ve started to slip… ;)

  15. zumi says:

    i love tsu-chan:) she’s all over the place now~.

    & i think i’m sorta over the hype with vivi…they’re all half models and the fashion’s almost too trendy – like only models can pull it off and sorta looks all the same… :/

  16. ni-ni says:

    Thank you for reminding me about the new ViVi issue! I have it downloaded in files…and I’m debating getting it in tangibility because I absolutely canNOT pass up 400 pages……..!!

    and i love tsubasa : )

  17. Cecilia says:

    oOoOh! You bought Pinky?? *-* The Ronson Romper is lovely!

  18. Rachelle says:

    I’ve had to pretty much STOP spending since I don’t have a job anymore. ;A; but it’s okay, I DL magazines a lot so I don’t miss out on the trends, but i don’t get the free gifts either D: aw well, you win some, you lose some :D

  19. jayjayne says:

    Man – now I want to get the ViVi mag here – :0 I think I saw it at my local Asian dessert place, chilling! MUST GET! MORE PAGES! SAME PRICE = AWESOME! :D

    Lovely items! I realllly need to go on a shopping spree! I always buy boring random junk D; Why don’t I like colours? WHYYYYYYYY? D;

  20. Ruby says:

    I love this months issue of Vivi! I tore basically all the pictures with lena fuji on them because the outfits we’re so cute! Spring fashion is always one of my favorite fashion seasons. ✩

  21. Lexxii says:

    There is soo much new poupee stuff coming out like all at once… >.

  22. Leanne says:

    i love Fridays!!!

    i’m on a budget at the moment and it’s so hard to keep! i find myself borrowing next week’s budget =__=;;

  23. Veronica says:

    ooooh I was just telling Andy I wanted a jumper like MAD

    This is the third spring in a row I look and look but can’t find ‘the perfect’ one!

  24. Shirley says:

    I’m so jealous!!
    I wish the place where I get my magazines got their magazines earlier…I always have to wait a month for them to stock T-T

  25. Courtney says:

    Kind of had a busy, stressful week but reading your blog always cheers me up. Thanks! Glad to know you’re doing well and have a chance to relax…I want to do the same.

  26. cin says:

    Haha I got the Naomi hair puffs! :D
    That romper is such the cutest!~~
    I don’t have enough ribbons to buy anything :( Have to save up ribbons again!!

  27. Renata says:

    Please, show us a picture from your furoku alba rosa tote bag. Is this Pinky from march or february ?

  28. Sumoni says:

    I love presents in magazines so much! Even though I know what I’m getting, it’s like, christmas!

  29. Ann says:

    VIVI! I want this month’s Vivi badly, I saw scans and I’d wear just about wear everything in this issue. You get your mags from a store?

  30. Nanako says:

    I love the girl’s tights from the second picture :O
    They’re so cool I really want them D:

  31. Leanne says:

    Haha, that pic totally reminds me of the Naomi hair stuff! I think because Poupee bases alot of their items on real items which is good! But then I don’t understand why they have such fugly items like the furry bracelet D:

  32. Genevieve says:

    What are the “prizes” this month in the mags? I really wanna take a trip up there and get some mags (actually have money thanks to tax refunds- SURPRISE! lol) but I need a good excuse ;)

    I, too am waiting for more anniv. items. I just got a tiara and a blue purse ^_^

  33. daisy says:

    im curious what the alba rosa tote looks like
    & that romper is cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute

  34. Tori says:

    Yay for I ♥ Ronson! It’s actually the first diffusion line I like (I was looking forward to the McQueen line for Target until I saw samples.. ew) I hope you get yours soon though!

    Hm… I might have to get that copy of Zipper now~ Tsubasa is so much love

  35. レイカ says:
