Outlet Mall Purchases

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009 | 47 Comments

Didn’t mean to disappear
I’ve been staying busy this past week. Went shopping, saw District 9, working out, other stuffs. OK, actually my life is boring but just boring AWAY from my computer I guess.

Lately Mike was…. well, to be blunt, pushing my buttons. Not on purpose, but that didn’t change the fact that being woken up early on a Monday causes me to be a major bitch. So what do I find when I get home Monday after work??? These Sunflowers and a new indoor plant!

I cut some yellow watermelon and poured tea and enjoyed writing some letters after that.

Yellow theme evening, haha!



About my shoes
So Gilt shipped me purple Vivienne Westwood shoes again.
I’m returning them AGAIN.
Maybe in college I’d LOVE this color even if it wasn’t what I ordered, but I’m just not attracted to them. I WANTED THE SOFT PINK DAMNIT!

So I’m keeping to what I said. No more random purchases of materialistic, unneeded goods!!

That said, I’m glad I picked up some things this Saturday from our Outlet shopping

Bought these yesterday actually thanks to a tip from Karme!
THEY BROUGHT BACK THE HAIRSPRAY!!
I adore this hairspray. I think it’s the same formula??
Hard to tell because I got rained on today when wearing it, LOL

I dressed like a hobo Saturday
Haha, what!? Easy in & out clothing
These shorts from Yesstyle are the only ones that fit me now without sliding off :puup:

Beret I tried on & then bought at Barney’s
CUUUTE ribbon clutch from Saks off 5th

I didn’t go too overboard really :noki4:

Vest at BCBG I wanted!
It was $70, originally $250+ or something.
I decided not to get it…
Wish I had known my Vivienne Westwood shoes would be fail…
I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT DAMNIT!
Oh well
I bought the mini skirt that went with it at least

GAP: 3 tops (2 for work)
Barney’s NY: Navy Blue Beret
BCBG: Jean salopette & striped mini skirt
Coach: Leah Bag
H&M: Mickey & Minnie sweater! (yes, found one!)



Guess I’ll be taking snaps of these for Poupee soon! I’ve been getting back into a bit. The cute summer festival event definitely helps! I dunno, I remember how happy it used to make me. I know they’ve really changed this past year, but I want to move past that and have fun with it some more. I’m not ready to call it quites just yet!

O.o why can’t they just send the pretty shoes? I really hate that purple colour you keep getting. Idk why I usually like purple but for some reason its like eh for me…

That was nice of Mike to get you flowers and stuff though! What a sweetie. Its nice he knew what he did and tried to make it up to you.

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 8:42 am

Agreed! If they were more like lilac I would have kept them the second time but these are so harsh that I couldn’t imagine them matching with much I have =Y

The vest from BCBG looks so nice, but it’s kinda expensive. I would love to shop at Victoria’s secret too, but they don’t have one in Canada….boo! Wanna get the body lotions. I saw it everywhere on Japanese magazines

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 8:43 am

Yea, that’s why I decided not to get it.

What’s funny is that there isn’t a Victoria’s Secret in Japan either! But they sell it at SBY in Shibuya for 5 times the actual cost!

Boo on your shoes!

Outlet shopping can be fun. I am sad some of the good outlet malls are so far away from me!!

I’ve never had yellow watermelon but have always been so curious!!!

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 8:44 am

I know! They’re always in the most remote freakin’ places!

The yellow watermelon tastes exactly the same to me, but Mike said “something is missing.”

That sucks about the shoes D:

You always make me want to go shopping :]

Aww, Mike is so sweet!

Oooh! I love love love that adorable pink ribbon clutch. I have been looking ALL over for one just like that! ㅠㅠ

I’ve always wanted to buy something from yesstyle, but to be honest, I’m a little skeptical about the quality of the products there.. I heard somewhere that the shoes there is really bad quality.. :\

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 8:50 am

Well Yesstyle is basically a proxy, so I’d research the “store” you’re buying from first. Many have existing online shops in Korean like DodoStyle or Japan’s RyuRyu (which is an actual catalog.) So you can get a better idea of what kind of professional quality they have that way. Plus take note of how well the product is described & the image quality of the photos used. If there’s no description and there’s just 1 photo in bad quality of the item, you might want to think before purchasing. I’ve never purchased shoes from a store on Yesstyle so I don’t know personally. I can say I’ve never received something that I felt didn’t meet the cost value. Tops I’ve gotten for $10 were always still pretty good. At least Forever21 quality.

aw the clutch is so cute! and mike is so sweet!

 
Jennifer said
August 19, 2009 @ 1:17 am

love that clutch from Off 5th! i love going in there to look at the expensive brand name stuff. xD

bummer about gilt though.. maybe when you return it, put a big note inside the box or tape it on to the box so when they open it they have a reminder to send it to you in the right color? i did that to a wireless mouse repair cause i was paranoid they would just keep my mouse. haha!

such a sweet husband.. yellow ftw!

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 8:52 am

OMG I totally did that! I printed out the item page showing what pink is supposed to look like this time!!! I just worry somebody is on the wait list for these shoes and they’ll end up in the same predicament :(. They’re even in a box labeled “pink.”

 
 
Sumie said
August 19, 2009 @ 1:39 am

gosh why don’t they tell you directly that pink is out of stock?
they have lost at least 30 bucks with refunding you shipping & giving you store credit xD
cool buys^^ haha how many jean salopette do you have now ?

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 8:53 am

I have 2 and 1 jean romper, hahahaahhaaa. I know, mike asked the same question about the salopette. The BCBG ones was originally 210$ or something and on sale for 19$ … HAD TO BUY IT!

I heard they were using a new jewel system with poupee that makes you pay with real money, that is not very cool. There is so much advertising on there anyway and to make only the cutest items only available for actual purchase is not really fair. I don’t know, whatevs. I kind of lost interest after it became an obsession for me to get the dress up bonus and I am a lot more relaxed now, lol.

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 8:56 am

Yea there are jewels now instead of just buying ribbons. But ribbons still exist too. I’d be a hypocrite if I said the jewel system ruined things. I hated the idea, but then the other day I bought a $5 Starbucks, took a few sips and later ended up throwing it all away because it melted. I realized to pretend I don’t waste $5 left & right is silly. SO I BOUGHT SOME JEWELLLS! HAHAHHAHAHAAA

 
 
August 19, 2009 @ 3:19 am

Ohh! I’m loving the purple GILT shoes. (^□^*) The color seems to be very special. But, I totally understand you, once I feel attracted to something its really difficult to change my mind. ヽ(ー_ー )ノ The Beret is sooo cute, (*´ω`) it looks really good on you and so does the “hobo outfit”.

I’m wishing for summer to come or at least spring to wear something else than a cover-up. ・゜゜・(/□\*)・゜゜・

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 8:57 am

Yea, I knew if I kept them I’d just be reminded about the color I REALLY wanted. :(

I adore that vest - I’m really into F21’s new Twist stuff for this fall. it makes me feel all French inside! haha

The ribbon clutch reminds me of that Poupee girl item ! Which PG by the way - the jewels thing has made me want to quit. Andy thinks I should keep it for “unwinding time” but I dunno … meh

August 19, 2009 @ 11:36 am

Aww!! I still can’t believe they did that to you with the shoes I guess it just wasn’t meant to be, right? Or something like that, haha *FAIL*

Anyway, I covet all your outlet purchases!! That jacket+vest thing is TO DIE FOR… You need to go back & get it this weekend~!! lol~

& you make a cute hobo, haha ♥! Glad to hear you’re doing well, though I’ve missed reading your frequent updates on here *hug*

WOW, lovely purchases! I LOVE that vest! It’s like got two layers? Really looks classic and refined.

Courtney said
August 19, 2009 @ 7:12 pm

Damn got cut off. I should have read that notice -_-;;

(con’t)

*heart* I love the jean salopette (is this just a fancy word for overalls? xP), I used to think that I’d look too childish in them (being 5′1 and having a cutesy voice and whatnot I guess), but I would indeed like to buy one again. ☆○☆ Especially I love that oversized tee! I want some like this! They look so casual and comfy!!
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST SUM IT UP AND SAY I LOVE YOUR FASHION SENSE. lol
Ps that SUCKS about the shoes!! T_T;; I want to see how they look when you finally get the right ones~

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 9:42 pm

Yea, it’s just french for overalls. I’m not re-ordering the shoes, they’re out of the soft pink , so no VW for me~

August 19, 2009 @ 8:01 pm

Holy crap, dude! Are you still going to wait for the right shoes from Gilt? Or kinda give up on them? Hopefully you get them soon - at any rate!

Whoo - salopette items are so cute! Too bad I don’t really suit them … nuuu Kinda depressing, but I’m by far, the more - watch me wear this oversized hobo shirt and ramshackle’d jeans, type of girl ;p

jenny said
August 19, 2009 @ 9:41 pm

100% gave up. They sold out anyway. They’re just resending me the 1 pair or purple shoes over & over! LOL

 
 
Winnnnn said
August 20, 2009 @ 12:31 am

love your outfit in the “wanted” picture~ ;D
whoever keeps on sending you the WRONG SHOES must be colour blind or does not understand the diff between PINK AND PURPLE. sigh sigh. i hope it doesn’t happen to you again Dx such a painnn amirite?

nice shopping! seems like you got a lot of good and useful stuff!

 
Moo-Shu said
August 20, 2009 @ 3:32 am

i can’t believe they sent the same colored shoes back to you!!

that cluch bag is amazing!! i’ve been looking for a bag with a huge bow on it for some time now lol.

i really don’t like the jewel system on poupee but it’s helping me save my ribbons though. all the cute stuff i would have wanted to buy is in the jewel area! especially those hugging bunnies. i still like poupee though… i like looking at clothes under different brands and dressing up my doll.

Awww I’m SO jealous of your shopping trip. I haven’t been on a big shopping splurge in so long. Stupid wedding making me have to save all my money You have such cute new clothes

I’m still in love with Poupee Girl… I’m kind dreading the day I get bored of it cos then, really, what will I do with all the free time it’ll give me? He. I blame you for getting me hooked on it ya know?
