Quick Update
Tuesday December 11, 2012
Hi.
I haven’t done a personal update in some time. Mostly because I’m not very good at remembering to take photos while I’m out these days.
I wrote this yesterday but never had a chance to publish it. Not much has happened since though I’m coming down with a flu I think now…
Last week I bought this “Tux Skirt” from Madewell.
Seriously no more black skirts for me. I’m self-banned!
I liked it because it was more fitted and shorter than my Banana Republic pencil skirt or UNIQLO wool skirt (which I wear only for work.) Lately I felt I had too few fitted things and that maybe adding a nice fitted skirt would be good for balancing out oversized tops. This tux skirt personified my needs perfectly plus it’s longer in the back so I feel safe (ha!) and it’s finally a pencil skirt with belt loops! I made sure to buy it in my exact size rather than doing my occasional “sizing up” for super-comfort. I think the summer was so hot this year that I grew accustom to hating form fitting items…
This weekend was pretty great. I got a ton of stuff accomplished.
I stopped by Anthropologie to buy a few hooks for the house. Just simple decor. Plus I found some more mt washi tape while there! I went to Anthropologie on a hunch a few months ago and they didn’t have any, but now they had a bunch. So I picked up the red set because it felt Christmas’y.
Later on Saturday we grocery shopped, BBQ’d outside, did some home repairs, put up my new Anthropologie hooks, completed Christmas cards, and went out that night to see a band & have some drinks.
Sunday was a bit more laid back because the great weather went crappy. Mostly just did a run to Target where I picked up the Herbal Essence “Color Me Happy” I mentioned in the shampoo entry. It smells great. The formula doesn’t do much for my hair. Leaves it limp but it is soft and smells nice. Burt’s Bees Very Volumizing is still the best combination for adding volume & shine to my hair, but I like to try other stuff. I get bored with scents or think there’s some better, more hol’ier grail product out there :). I tend to buy shampoos on a whim.
OK I’m off to eat some Chicken Noodle soup… :dizzy:

Your earring are sooo pretty! *___* I hope you get well soon. Lots of people have been getting sick because of the weather.

hey Jenny, like the skirt. I could use a black pencil skirt too…and yet again I love your drawing/sketching!
I always wanted to ask you some things – but I always forget when I comment. Would you ever do a Q&A post?
One thing I always wanted to know is, how you actually got in touch with the Japanese culture?
take care! hope you’re not ill (chicken-noodle soup)… -
One thing I forgot – I always wanted to know: What are your favourite blogs, you read on a regular basis?

get better soon!
i don’t really do much with shampoos. i generally use whatever is in the shower at the time, which usually doesn’t do too well for my hair… since i should use more volumising kind
-
Oh I like the skirt! I always go for herbal essences… I like volume for my hair too so at the moment I am using a spray from TRESemme, it’s okay but I am still looking for an amazing volumizing product!
-
Ooh, I like the tux skirt! The fabric looks really cool. I don’t think the Madewell picture does it justice though!
-
You look great ! I remember me thinking herbal essences were so expensive when I was young haha Now when I’m thinking about it… it’s weird how much money I spend on beauty-related things uhhh

The tux skirt looks cute and it is great for balancing loose tops!
I hope you feel better soon~ :)
