OTK Boots and Randomness

Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2009 | 68 Comments

Haven’t been online much. A friend of mine stayed with me this weekend. She wanted to go shopping for a Christmas dress so we went out to a lot of the department stores and boutiques. Mostly Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s though. Took these snaps at Neiman Marcus while she tried on some things

I was excited to get to wear my blazer out! :sparkleup:
It wasn’t too cold or too hot! PERFECT!
Went to the Nanette Lepore boutique. It has to be the prettiest boutique in the area (suck on that dior!)

One of the girls working there commented on my blazer. She said she can really find some great ones at the thrift store. That comment made my day! Hahahaa! I like brand things, but after a full day in upscale stores I needed some realistic financial savvy fashion comments!

I did pretty well with saving my money I guess, given the amount of cuteness ’round me (hello Marc by Marc lovely item temptation,) but I did try on some over the knee boots I ended up getting…

Found them at Bloomingdale’s. After looking at the $400+ price tag on all their OTK style boots I was feeling pretty defeated. Neiman Marcus didn’t even HAVE any OTK styles. Then I found some Calvin Klein’s on the clearance rack! OTK on clearance!? SWEET! Tried them on, LOVED THEM. I wasn’t going to get them though. Just because~ …I was talking myself out of them when Mike whipped out an extra 30% off coupon and took them to the register and bought them. HAHAHAAA! He said that these are good winter boots that’ll last. He knows my plight of trying to find OTK boots this season. I got them for $120 :good:

My favorite part about these is that they can be worn all the way up or folded down to be at the knee!

When I got home I was flipping through Pinky and Mike commented on how nearly all the boots in the magazine were OTK style and he smiled this sorta “win” grin. HAHAHAA

Anyway~~
I’m waiting for Mike to come from work and cook dinner. I’M HUNGRY! Speaking of food, aren’t these bear pancakes Momoeri made the cutest!? Looks easy too with just banana and those quick melt chocolate writers! :cake:


Nana dyed her hair from blonde to copper gold~ She also thinned out some of the extensions. It’s nice because it’ll help her look less generic in the shoots now, but damn, I still don’t like her with those extensions *saaaaad*!! I just loved her shorter locks and I think they fit her better. Now it’s sometimes hard to even tell it’s her in Popteen, haahaa! I just think she looks so generic now. Still gorgeous, but fades more into the background I guess.

I do love her current nails though!! They’re more my length, hahaaaaa! So I don’t feel that they’re impossible to achieve! I have everything for this look too, EXCEPT TIME! UGH!


I was going through ニコるん’s blog and stumbled upon this photo taken of some Gals at Disney Sea and I spotted one girl wearing those great jeffrey campbell fringe boots I tried on last March at Free People! :good:


Game news~~
Besides being busy with my friend this weekend, I haven’t been online much due to video game addiction too~ :haha:
We got Super Mario Bros Wii Sunday and have been playing it nonstop! It’s both nostalgic and new thanks to side-scrolling and co-op mode! Mike’s always Mario and I’m always yellow Toad whose random screams & squeals sound just like Princess Peach (for example, when tagging the half-way point don’t tell me that’s NOT Peach’s voice!)

Screenshot from IGN. We only play 2 players. I can’t imagine having 4! It’s gotta be pure madness!! It’s bad enough when Mike takes BOTH items from a coin box!! To have 3 other people scrambling around… insanity I bet! LOL


It’s so odd playing co-op though. I haven’t really played any of the Mario Bros since High School. I didn’t bother with the DS game and though I did pick it up during college now & then it was nothing compared to the marathon sessions of replay I did during High School with my “Super Mario All Stars!” But it’s also great to share in that classic OMGIHATEYOUPIRANHAPLANT rage the games always cause!

Just picked up Left 4 Dead 2 today too! Will play this later tonight when all 3 of us can play (Me, Mike, his Brother.) I already played the demo and have discovered the glory that is the machete in this new version! THANK YOU! IT’S GLORIOUS! Haahaa.

I really need to kill some zombies tonight too. PMS is enraging my emotions all day. Only thing about this game I don’t like is how long missions are. Before you know it 2 hours have passed and it’s midnight and your early train doesn’t wait for no one. LOL At least it’s New Orleans this time around, (close to home! hahahahaga)

New H&M Outerwear

Thursday, Nov. 12, 2009 | 67 Comments

Took an hour lunch today to go to a new H&M grand opening ! I used to drive about 15 minutes to this other one but it was so tiny and there wasn’t much interesting in the mall it was in. Now I have one right down the road! WHOOT! AND I must say I’m loving it compared to the other ones in the DC area. Even compared to the Tyson’s Corner and Georgetown ones, this one carries more my style of clothing. (THANK GOD!)

Mike took a long lunch to go too and we were among the first 100 people in line which = freebie score! I got 50$ worth in gift certificates plus a t-shirt, bag, and umbrella. The lady standing next to me was kind enough to trade my M size for her S! It was a lot of fun because the other people in line were pretty cool and nice to talk to. Plus Godiva was passing out free dark chocolate truffles, hahaaa *_*

I ended up getting 2 new outwears! :getit: First, a parka with fur! I’ve been wanting one of these for a couple of years now, and I got it for $20 (originally 70$!) I also got a new blazer. I have one already but I liked the fabric for this one plus it’s pure black (mine has pink pinstripes) and it’s longer than my current one.




Also started putting my lookbook together tonight! Now that I have a parka I’ve opened myself up to a bunch of new outfits I can put together! This style of coat is in just about every Japanese magazine year after year. I’m always a bit surprised by that but it’s a constant. :good: I look pretty awkward in this year’s other trends including fur coats and leather jackets. I’ve tried on tons of different ones and they always look off on me. Oh well! Not meant to be~




Poupee Today

My dressup was sorta what I wore, hahah, pretty close at least!

These new balloons are the sh*t!!
