Weekend Shopping
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009 | 59 Comments 
Thank you everyone who entered the giveaway!! You guys really make it a lot of fun! The winner has been contacted. If for any reason they can’t claim the prize I’ll do another random selection.
So I hope everyone’s weekend went well. Busy holiday week coming up, ね！？ Friday so many people were already on vacation so the trains were empty! We went out and did a little bit of shopping before full on Christmas shopping kicks into high gear.
Went to Tyson’s Saturday morning. They finally opened the new conveyor belt sushi place. It’s in the most awkward area IMO, hahaaaahahaaaaa. 
But I do like the vivid blue tables! The signs sorta made it look like it would be a fancier place but it’s pretty… boring, aesthetically? Oh well~ It’s 1: mall food, 2: conveyor belt sushi (which is as casual as it gets.)
Dress: Colza Cardigan: Cher Tights: Target Boots: Calvin Klein Purse: Victoria’s Secret Heart Necklace: Aldo
I got the latest Urban Outfitters catalog this week and noticed two things. 1: They’re not so hard to be all… hipster, or whatever and many of their coordinates looked wearable (finally!) like they USED TOO. 2: WTF THESE PRICES! It’s about time! Their prices had dropped significantly. Looks like targeting rich teens with mommy’s credit card wasn’t workin’ for them anymore?! Ok, Ok, harsh, but still. Their prices had gotten ridiculously inflated! Now they were looking… a bit normal! So I went to check them out and sure enough I found stuff there that was cheaper than things I saw at Old Navy that day. BOUT TIME, BOUT TIME. And anything that still had an overpriced tag had been marked down near 50%. I was wanting to get some reconstructed shorts but they were all too big. I did find a super cute Mickey shirt! I loved that it had longer short sleeves with stripes on it 
So of course I didn’t get them.
Tried on a Barefoot Dreams hoody at Nordstrom’s. They don’t carry Rinka’s line, but I found some online places that do. So I went to try these ones on for sizing! Gosh, soooooooo soft! Mike braved the evil sales lady so I could try it on. She was such a lurker! Asking me if I needed help and giving me her opinions on it AS IF I CARED, GEEZ. I know, they’re just trying to make the sale but I already said they didn’t have the color I wanted. So I made her watch me take this photo of me wearing it, LOL.
Later that night we did our Thanksgiving dinner shopping. The grocery store didn’t have any pumpkin pie mix! So Mike suggested the Super K-Mart might have it and it was right next door. Well, they didn’t, but they did have room wear on sale! I got this Joe Boxer flannel romper for $7.00! It’s got ruffles, and snaps, and is really cute! I’ve always loved Joe Boxer. When I was in High School they made cool boy-style girls underwear (I was a total tomboy) that I’d wear. They were more expensive then though *cough.* So I don’t care if they’re some K-Mart line now! They still come out with great stuff that often goes on 50% sales, so whatevssssssssss!
I tried that new Starbucks Caramel Brulee Latte this morning. It’s pretty good. I got a short, nonfat, no whip (so only 160kcal instead of 260kcal.) Last Thursday Mike bought us some of the cold drink Starbucks cups with the holiday straw. It’s so cute!! It keeps drinks cold for a while so I put soda in it, LOL. He always gets an iced Americano so he takes his to the cafe for filling. Useful :good:
I love my house in winter, I think it’s a winter house~ it always looks prettiest lit of with warm candles and cluttered with fuzzy slippers and blankets.
Oh, Wii Fit Update! I’m still loving it! I’ve actually lost another 2lbs on it I’m just looking to maintain my current weight but I guess it really does burn that fat! HAHAHAAA. I’ve been using my Calorie Off socks with it too, just to use them. Maybe they’re to blame? LOL DOUBT IT. Mike’s lost a few pounds too. Who knew it actually worked, YAY
CALORIE OFF SOCKS + WII FIT!
OK, I’m off to get ready for bed and watch Dexter!
Tomorrow’s Mike’s birthday too! So, celebrations all week!!

Loving the Colza dress! きれい！
nice
hbd mike!
Hi,
I am a professional artist. I am beginning a series of paintings incorporating some elements of Japanese fashion, and I am very interested in acquiring back issues of CUTiE magazine. I saw that you used to have a website dedicated to the magazine, and others, and was hoping you or someone who follows your blog might be able to help me find a place to get older issues. I am particularly interested in issues from the mid 90’s, but I know that may be extremely difficult, so at this point anything would be good.
Thanks a bunch. Great blog BTW
Jim
Hi Jim. All I can really recommend is ebay. Sometimes people will sell off 3 or 4 sets of older issues. There used to be a store near me that would sell old issues too but they’ve since closed. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
its odd they put the sushi place there
Your new room clothes are so cute!
I love Mickey tops I have one with Mickey all made out of shiny colorful studs it was in Target!
Happy Birthday to your hubby
Wish I could loose weight as fast as you, whats your secret?
Weeks to lose weight isn’t much of a quick weight loss secret, haahaa! Just eatin’ healthy & staying active! I’ve been eating healthier since last May so it’s been a slow decline in weight since then.
That’s a horrible place to put a food place… right next to escalators? I’d be paranoid someone would throw stuff down…
but yay for wii fit ^^ I haven’t used it in months and I’m dreading what its going to tell me about that…
and yay for Dexter =) Hopefully there’ll be another Trinity shuffle dance before it’s all over*dies*
kaiten zushi!!
i 100% agree about the whole urban outfitters rant. he prices really have gotten lower ね？though after all these months of mistreatment, i still won’t buy from them. LOL
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY MIKE~
Happy Happy Birthday Mike!
Hi
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now (I really like it) but this is the first time I’m commenting~
Just letting you know I’m here, I guess, haha.
I love your style, btw.
Thanks! Nice to meet you
Aw that dress you are wearing is really cute!
Do those socks actually work? Like when you use them does it feel like it does anything? Haha. And that shop where you got them it looks nice but how much is shipping? I can’t find it on there.
Definitely adds pressure and makes you sweat faster. They’re hard as hell to get on because they’re so tightly woven! LOL
haha. I am glad you did some successful shopping (: yeah, I agree with the whole UO thing.. it’s too much hipster… and the rich kids part is true, sadly. I really like some of their pieces though. I hope you and Mike are well, and happy early birthday to him!
Cute Mickey shirt (very gal!) and romper! Kmart has some good stuff randomly. And that Starbucks cup is so cute! I love candy canes! Might have to get this. You are a bad influence, I see something in your post and have to have it, lol. Jk.
Congratz on 2 pounds lost and Happy Birthday Mike!
That is really a funny location for a sushi place. Kind of weird eating between two escalators lol!
I agree with you about Urban. I only buy things there if they have a sale. Good to know they’re lowering their prices!
Jenjenjen!
What a random place for a sushi-bar! Kinda tucked in under an escalator like a little hidey-hole with mobile Japanese food. It’s alike a mini-surprise:
*comes down escalator*
*POP*
*Sushi! Win!*
The outfits are so win! But B/L to the sweater being the wrong colour - I do think the white/cream one in the pic looks cute as well!
Happy birthday to Mike
/sings
I’m sure you got him something lovely (and probably not any pretty baloons! Well, unless he likes them!)
I love your hair color! T_T and ur eyes toooo!

AHHH IM CRAVING SUSHIII… ;____;

The Mickey shirt is super cute~~ So is your dress!!
Happy Birthday to Mike!!!! Have a fun week!!~
WII FIT WORKS?!!!
COOOL i shall do it more often! i was playing the cycling game for 35 mins and didnt even notice so i guesss its possible!
and nice outfits! i like the mickey tshirt too!
i love your victoria secret purse in the first pic!
actually. i love all ur clothes, and acessories haha!
oh i forgot to ask, where did you get the vs purse?!
At the Victoria’s Secret store
ohh, i tried looking for it at their website but they didn’t have :(
i hate not living in the states!! haha. well its so pretty!
cute outfits +w+
You have pretty eyes ^^
I want to go to those place that have sushi on a conveyor belt.
Maybe one day….
omg your shopping outfit!! *LOVES!*
I’m such a sucker for gorgeous presentation in food, especially when it comes to sushi, so I don’t know if I’d enjoy that atmosphere! The blue tables do rock though.
The sushi conveyor belt made me lol
Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday week, bby~!
Oh, & I saw those calorie off socks on one of the JELLY model’s blogs… Maichi’s, I think!
Makes me wonder if they work, haha!
Yea I bought mine after a Cawaii model on my DVD was jumping around in them LOL. There’s a new brand now, with blue socks, that, like, EVERY popteen model uses. I saw an ad but I can’t remember the name now… :(
That dress is so adorable! I need some boots like that before winter ends.
Ugh I wish there was a sushi bar like that here in Orlando! It looks so coooooool~ Hahaha.
Wow your blackberry takes good photos!
I don’t like admitting it, but I got a great cardigan at Walmart for $10 - haha, waiting for Andy to get a DVD I was like …. “DAMN YOU MILEY CYRUS”
UO does have some great stuff, sometimes you can find the more expensive duplicates on ModCloth - and suddenly their prices aren’t as crazy as I thought
Happy Birthday, Mike
DAMN! My $5 jean tights are totally wal-mart too!!!!!!!! I never buy from there but on vacation it was the only place to get snacks and I saw that Cyrus line too and contemplated those black pants for work, LOL!
Cute dress! You’re so good at finding cute items.
Woow, Wii Fit actually works? I want a Wii even more now. xD Hmm, Wii Fit, or zombie killing?? =P
The conveyor belt sushi reminds me of that vid on youtube… seeec~ here it is! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWQR36dW0GA haha
Happy bday to Mike!
That’s a really cute video!
D
Woo, great post! Hehe just wanted to note that first
I love all the piccies of the clothes, as always 
You always pick such pretty items 
The romper suit is just adorable 
Have fun celebrating Mike’s birthday. Isn’t it great how when you’re older you get to celebrate a birthday all week?
LOL @ the restaurant, it doesn’t feel very sanitary to me.
I lalalove the mickey/minnie top.
I really like UO but some of the prices are really ridiculous and the one in my location that do shop there are rich hipsters who uses mommy’s credit cards. sadly…
Ugh….like someone already said, what a HORRIBLE place to put the sushi place….right next to the escalator. I wouldn’t want to be eating sushi and have people staring at me while they come down or up the escalator. That’s just so awkward!
Yeah, I actually rarely ever shop at Urban Outfitters, mostly because their stuff is quite expensive. I think I’ve only gone to the store 2-3 times and I never went back to it ever again. LOL.
Love that Colza dress of yours. So pretty and elegant! =)
ahhh~ i love your picturesss!
I just got the same JoeBoxer romper the other day!!! I was mixed between the green + red but stuck with the red in the end (I could have gotten both for the price but TRYING to save money, every $6 counts…
. I bought black thermal pants and top to wear under it because I’m always cold + this way I can justify wearing other rompers and summers items outside the house.
I heard that old navy is in the works of changing the decor of their stores (or maybe only select stores? I don’t remember) so maybe they’ll be more aesthetically pleasing soon? I think they should cover the walls with their trademark fleece to give more of a warm + fuzzy feeling.
Yaay!! Yea I liked the other colors too so I went with a classic
.
Oh darn…I missed this! :(
Thank you for joining my giveaway! The Barefoot Dreams parka is sooo cute. Love Rinka!
lmao!!!!! i automatically knew where you were just by the change room!!!
Old Navy never fails…
just a little over a month before christmas! the year has gone by too fast.
thanks, thanks! i’ve e-mailed you my details. ;D
Sushi trainnnnnnn!I get a bit weary of sushi trains ’cause you just don’t know what happens on the other side haha! I love all the outfits and purchases, totally want a Wii Fit but I don’t know if I’ll actually use it
Also, the Starbucks cup is just too cute! I’m going to go tomorrow and see if Australia got them!
I always find that conveyer belt sushi are soo overpriced! Which always puts me off. So i just go to the Japan center in Central London which sell 6 pieces for a mimimum price of £2.00. I think thats just about $4 for you? :\.
Anyways i love love LOVE those shorts! They looks uber cute on you too!!!~~~
Oh and Happy Birthday to Mike
What an odd place for a sushi train… I would feel uncomfortable eating there haha! I love all your outfits (especially your shopping outfit~); they’re so cute! -w-
you always find the cutest disney shirts!!!!:3
jealous~~~~~
can you read japanese?!?!
I have a very basic understanding of the language, elementary level b/c kanji can really kick my ass! LOL
LOL! i got the mickey UO shirt a couple days before i gave birth! great minds think alike!
Sushi conveyor belt in the mall?! That’s FANTASTIC! hahaha
Love your fake fireplace.
Awww you’re pictures are cute. I miss wii fit I used to do it all the time with my ex but I left the wii when we split and I haven’t replaced it since. I WANT one of those starbucks cups stat. Amazing.
OMG, I saw that conveyor belt sushi place at Tysons like a week or so ago and your right, that is a super awkward location, ahaha.
