Sparkle Tee for the Holidays

// 57 Comments

How’s everyone’s weekend!?
I’m feeling a but bummed out it’s already Sunday night hahaa
I had a pretty great weekend. Yesterday I went out to the mall and what not. Not going to be able to do that much longer. Holiday shopping has started and the roads are packed with panic-stricken insane drivers who are out to kill anyone in their path!

I found my new favorite key item Friday night! We ordered pizza for dinner and after-wards Mike asked why I was still dressed and not in my sweats? I told him we’ve been randomly going out some nights and I was tired of always having to throw on clothes and having fug hair when we do. He laughed and got up and said, “Let’s get out then!!”

Found this top at Forever 21. Loved it! It’s a sparkly silver, loose fitted, short tee! It really reminded me of something I’d find at Free People. Plus I love the sparkle for the holiday season
I just had to get it!
Already got a compliment on it Saturday at Sephora, haahaa


Silver Sparkle Top - Forever 21
Stripe turtleneck - Target
Jean Shorts - Abercrombie & Fitch
Black leggings - Victoria’s Secret
Fringe Boots - Yesstyle




I also got a stripped cardigan on sale at Victoria’s Secret. It was already on sale but I also had a $10 gift card! So I got this for $11!




I went to the Japanese bookstore and was SO SO SOOOOO HAPPY to snag the December JJ issue!! At first I thought the calendar was stolen from it! I was expecting the typical booklet type to fall out and when it didn’t I was in a panic! Then I flipped through and noticed the damn Rinka calendar was a tear-out type! HAHAHAHAAA

Also, what’s with the backs of issues looking semi-like a cover? JJ and Pinky both have these special campaign back covers with the issue number and everything instead of a typical back ad.

The back covers



Tsubasa’s Dolly Wink by Koji line has been revealing the lashes line. The packaging is simply adorable, of course! I like how all the styles are pretty different from one another. With Koji’s Spring Heart lash line the differences are so subtle; which is a bit boring. I think my favorite lash look from this line are the Baby Cute set, followed by Vivid Pop!







I also made a batch of vanilla funfetti cupcakes this weekend topped with Mike’s amazing homemade chocolate icing
Needless to say I’ve eaten like a dozen freakin’ cupcakes so far and my blood sugar is so out of whack! I’ve been on the edge of puking, but then the tummy ache goes away and I see those cupcakes and I go for another! HAHAHAH AAAAAAAAAAH! I’m perpetually 5 years old, LOL.

I’ve been getting into false eyelashes lately, just not for myself. ahaha I like how they look, especially in photos. But my eyes are so sensitive, I’m not sure I’d be able to put them on right.

Mike is a good guy for taking you out. Can’t let a good dress up go to waste ahaha~

My friend just came back from Japan and bought me the Dec. Pinky. I was so excited coz it’s the 5-year anniversary special and I just LOVE Sasaki Nozomi so much!!! Pinky is always awesome!
And I’m glad you got JJ. Rinka looks absolutely gorgeous!

LOL I’m the same way with sugar junk. I’ll eat a bunch and I’ll stop cause I’m about to barf but then I’ll eat more whenever I see it again. xD

 
November 8, 2009 @ 11:03 pm

That top does look really FP!! Awesome find, as usual
I hit the VS sales this weekend too~ I love that cardi!
& yayyy for being able to snag the Rinka ed. of JJ!! Still haven’t been able to get my own copy, mou~
I really like the Vivid Pop lashes though all of them are pretty~ I’ve been meaning to ask you too, how do you put on fake lashes?? I know there is a tool you can buy to help with it, but is it worth it? I really wanna wear them but the last time I tried, I failed miserably hahah!
& of course your outfits are always super-cute, bby

If they had sold 2 I would have totally picked you up a copy but sadly there was only 1 copy on the shelf.

I use the Sephora brand lash tool. It does make it easier to place and hold the lashes firmly against your lid allowing them to dry evenly. Before when I was only using my fingers or tweezers it took a while to place my lashes. They sell it now with a set of Sephora lashes included . I’d say it would be worth it if you think you might be wearing lashes as often as every weekend or so. Sadly it’s still $10 which I think is STILL $5 more than it needs to be =TT

Awe, thank you for thinking about me, bby~! *hug*
Thanks for the product link too! I think I will try it just to see if it’s any easier~ it could just be that I bought a cheap brand last time, mou

I really like the sparkly sweater! Is it made out of an itchy material, though?

jenny said
November 9, 2009 @ 11:51 am

Surprisingly no! I thought the inside would be scratchy like the outer part of the shirt but it actually has a smooth, soft backing to the fabric that was used! It’s a big reason I got it because usually sparkly tops are scratchy even on the inside . So it’s very comfortable to wear like any tee

ahh im like that too with any food hahahahah even after throwing up!!
do you know where to get the lashes? i havent researched about the cheapest places for buying make up

jenny said
November 9, 2009 @ 12:04 pm

Do you mean when you’re in Japan? Check SBY at 109!

cin said
November 10, 2009 @ 11:07 am

oo they got everything there?? COOL!
how about other places to buy make up?

jenny said
November 11, 2009 @ 1:13 pm

Cosme shops are all over, you won’t have troubles finding make! And visit Donki too for other stuff like Gal accessories/make/needs.

LOVE the victoria’s secret sweater! I really wanted to buy it a few months back (in black + white) but did not have enough $$. I hope I can find it on sale also…

That sparkle top is cute! It seems warm also?

jenny said
November 11, 2009 @ 1:14 pm

It is! It’s like a doubled up fabric. I think it would be too hot to wear as a tee in the middle of July. It really is a winter tee

I love that cardigan! It’s just soooooooo cute. Sadly, we do not have Victoria’s Secret here in Canada. =( I’ve been looking for simple & cute cardigans like these for a really long time but I can never seem to find them.

He - great sweater! Once again, a rant about our inverse seasons!

And Tsubasa’s lash collection for Koji is so sweet! I wish I had the patience with falsies! And yes, I too have Saved For Later those chocolate lashes from yesstyle! ZOMG! ADORABLE!

jenny said
November 11, 2009 @ 1:15 pm

what a cute top!
i loved tsubasa’s nails too, want them WITH those eyelashes xD

and also, can you post the recipe of the cupcakes and the frosting? i’m mad about cupcakes! :3

jenny said
November 11, 2009 @ 1:17 pm

I just use the recipe on the back of the box except instead of eggs I used Egg Beaters. Mike knows the frosting recipe. It’s simple, just powdered sugar, cocoa, milk, and butter

Hi I’m just wondering is the Japanese bookstore that you went to ship stuff to PA? I really want to buy the final issue of Pinky for collection…

jenny said
November 11, 2009 @ 1:18 pm

Sadly no, they’re a local store only. You might want to try http://www.royalquartz.com/ for the final (February) issue.

I’ve never commented before, but I thought that now would be better than never! XD

I just wanted to tell you that I love reading your blog! I find it really inspiring! For one, your successful weight loss really motivated me to work hard at losing weight myself! It really helps to see someone who lost weight and managed to keep it off!

As well, I also LOVE your fashion advice! I love looking at all of the cute outfits you assemble and the make-up tips! All in all, I really enjoy reading your blog!

jenny said
November 11, 2009 @ 1:20 pm

Nice to meet you Kiracher! I’m always so surprised when people tell me my weight lost inspired them, hahahaa, I don’t know why. I just sit here and type and often it feels like such a solidarity-like task. I forget people do read it, hahaa! Glad you enjoy it

So, I don’t like the sparkle top by itself, but it looks amazing on you! Some things just look so much better on people than on the racks! And those eyelashes are amazing! So cute and flirty! I want some!

jenny said
November 11, 2009 @ 1:21 pm

Mike said the same. He hated it on the hanger but he really did like how it looked ON me.

Every time I see something I like on the F21 website and then go to their store– I NEVER FIND IT. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Tsubasa looks really good with short hair :O

jenny said
November 11, 2009 @ 1:22 pm

I don’t even TRY to find the online stuff in the store anymore! It’s always a fail D:

“I love the sparkle for the holiday season”. Same here I bought a gray sweater the other day with a touch of silver sparkles. LOVE that VS cardigan! For some unknown reason, I still have this idea that VS only sells inner wear, so I never really go inside =/ Anyway, I still need to pay a visit to F21 but haven’t found the time
