IKEA Ahoy~

Jun 20, 2011   

Made it out to IKEA this weekend! Ok, I only needed a few boxes and magazine files. :deco13: Mike, however, decided to buy a new chair! :P Haahaa. He did need it. The one he uses in the den looks worn after 3+ years of constant use. I didn’t mind, plus he got red to match the room which is all I cared about.

Oh IKEA~ you go there needing one thing and you leave with a cart full of chair!  :dizzy:



:deco9: BlazerUNIQLO
:deco9: TeeRinka x Sweet
:deco9: ShortsTarget
:deco9: BeltBanana Republic
:deco9: ShoesNine West
:deco9: BagYesstyle (Ashton)
:deco9: EarringsForever 21

I ended up impulse buying too~! Some cheap glasses. :deco4: We could use them. Slowly our other glasses are dying off with chips and cracks. These are simple but sweet with blue dots. 


Walking through IKEA I just can’t fathom where I got the needed energy to decorate my house! :?: It’s been about 4 years and I’m still really happy with it. :) :deco2: Up until then I was the type to rearrange and buy new home goods nonstop. :cry: Never felt satisfied you know? :;_;: But I remember how much time & effort I put into this space when we moved in. It was really worth it. Especially to still feel so content with it years later. I’m probably jinxing myself talking about it ha! Time to end the nonsense :)

It’s only Monday and already I feel exhausted … :deco13:

  8. ミッカ says:

    Ooh~ Would love to have one in PR… Envy. Hehe. Nice things you both bought, the glasses and the chair are super cute~ :D

  9. I also bought those storage /magazine boxes from Ikea! They are such miracle workers when you are in need of hiding junk hahaha :)

  10. Yi Lin says:

    yay love Ikea. :D I always go in thinking that I won’t buy stuff and come out of the store with random things that I probably won’t use. XD

    • jenny says:

      SERIOUSLY. I have to really give it good thought because you’ll get stuff home and think “now why did i buy this again???”

  11. L says:

    I love Ikea! Pretty much all of the furniture in my home is from there. XD

  12. miney says:

    love your outfit =)

  13. britney says:

    how do you get so skinny D:

  14. M says:

    i like the idea of ikea but building things is harddddd

  15. ambi says:

    Aw! I just moved and I’ve been begging my friend to to IKEA with me! Really cute outfit btw! I love how you always look so serene in candid pics♥

  16. lissy says:

    love your coordinate, and those polka-dot glasses are really cute ^^

    • jenny says:

      Thanks! Yeah I loved the glasses as soon as I saw them. I don’t really need 6 but they were too cute & affordable to pass up.

  17. kaoru says:

    love ikea too!!! ikea provides endless shopping n ideas! the glass looks really cute!

  18. Alice says:

    Cute coordinate (: I used to love hitting up IKEA w/ a friend when I was bored & had no place to go. It’s nice to just go & look at everything.

    • jenny says:

      Agreed. I wish this one was easier to get to during the week for boring days, but with DC traffic it’s only worth going on weekends. I always walk around the show room even though I don’t really need to xDD

  19. Thao says:

    Oh IKEA! Much love for it since it’s like playing house. I love walking through their small space apartment models. And yes, it’s certainly a trap like Target. Come for one thing; leave with a cart full.

    And I love your shoes!!!

    • jenny says:

      EXACTLY like Target. Seriously! Yeah I wish there had been an IKEA in my university’s town. They could have really inspired my first few cramped apartment rooms!

  20. Thanh Thao says:

    Oh I really like to go to Ikea! I need some frames for my fotos, so I’ll go to Ikea soon as well. I always stop at their foodcourt though, love the soft ice-cream XDDD

    You wore your Rinka shirt that day!! Lovely outfit!

    • jenny says:

      I always get a fountain drink there :D~ Hope you get those frames soon! Yeah, I don’t have many t-shirts so I wear my Rinka one a lot :)

  21. Pam says:

    Yay! I lurrve IKEA~~
    and I

  22. Sidney says:

    soooo yeah here’s my little secret of the day: i’ve never been to an IKEA before :x i think i’ve ALMOST gone at least once or twice but it never happened. there just isn’t one near me? which is sort of sad because it seems to be this wonderland of home furnishings and stuff! :( :( :(

    • jenny says:

      No worries, I had never been until I moved here either. There were like ZERO in the southern US a few years ago. Maybe there’s more now, but I don’t know. IKEA really does live up to the hype… surprisingly. I don’t want to move to a city without one :x

  23. Sofia says:

    Your shoes look nice! And OH YES do I agree, you always end up buying much more than you planned at IKEA! I love their plates, glasses and so on… they may be cheap so they break easily, but then you can just buy a new set (in another color maybe!), because it’s so cheap! And I love getting new stuff… ふふ~
    And btw I didn’t know they wrote stuff in Swedish at IKEA in other countries than Sweden lol ^^’ funny!

    • jenny says:

      They do!! It’s ALL in Swedish and really confusing sometimes. So everyone goes around struggling to pronounce the names of items they need xDD

  24. My Linh says:

    Cute outfit! I like the bag… I think I am also gonna buy it. XD We have a lot from IKEA, too. Aww… but we move so much, so now we sold a lot of things again. Wonder when I will finally settle down, then I will go crazy decorating my home. :D

    • jenny says:

      I know how you feel. I hate moving the big things! Couch, bed, etc. It’s frustrating! It’s a big reason I haven’t moved yet,… because I don’t want to move my stuff hahaha!

  25. Alisa says:

    I love IKEA items!! Simple but cute

  26. Ys says:

    Oh wow wow wow I love that chair! And it would look perfect in my living-room :D It’s gorgeous!

    I still feel like you USED to: constantly updating and re-arranging the house. I think cos we can never afford to just go and buy everything we need so we’re always slowly adding stuff to the rooms. Fun, though ;)

    • jenny says:

      Yea I dunno, I think having a year+ to just plan and nothing BUT straight out plan is probably what got me my results. Because it’s not like we had all new stuff, etc, etc. I think I just had SOOOOO much time to second guess myself before putting it all into action :D

  27. Jess says:

    one day i will visit the ikea! =)
    Here in Brazil we have TOK STOK, is something like Ikea XD

    xox

  28. Miya says:

    Its kind of impossible not to impulse shop at IKEA. Is that mike blurred out in the background of one of your pictures??? Lets be honest here, I am dying to see a picture of you two together. :)

    • jenny says:

      Haahaa it isssssssssss. Well, probably years & years ago there may be a few photos spread out between entries. But a long time ago I decided to not post my friends & family. They shouldn’t have to live in fear of being plastered on the internet just for knowing me :)

  29. Huynh says:

    I wish there’s a IKEA near me. The nearest one is 2 hours away :(

  30. Alyse says:

    Loooove IKEA!! I still haven’t been to the one in Osaka, but that doesn’t stop me from haunting the website Lol
    That’s a cool chair! Looks super comfy ^w^ I can’t wait to actually have furniture in my apartment.. Lol
    I looove your outfit! Those black wedges are fierce♥

    • jenny says:

      Haahaa IKEA online is a bit of heartburn for me because sometimes I want something really badly but it’s out of stock locally xDD

  31. Cindii says:

    Haha so true. Every time I go to Ikea I ended up wanting to buy so many things. It’s crazy.

  32. Rubi says:

    THOSE SHOES!!! omg I am so sad there are no outlets near me, i searched the website and even went to the store but couldn’t get my hands on them haha! I went to Ikea recently as well and bought a much needed new computer desk! Still working on furnishing our apartment..it’s so stressful but fun at the same time xD

    • jenny says:

      I’M SO SORRY! Yeah I couldn’t find them on the store either. Being outlet they are probably last summer season or maybe fall? t___t

  33. Yuki says:
