I Crave Delicate Gold Necklaces

Monday, Jun. 13, 2011 | 70 Comments

There was one other thing I bought this weekend!

A short, simple gold necklace + pendant!

Suddenly I really wanted one! I used to only like my long necklaces. Rosaries and such. Or something thick and flashy. Chunky chain links, etc. But lately I wanted something sweet that hit near my collarbone.

I wasn’t sure if it was just a passing fancy so I purchased the star this weekend.

All from style-arena.jp

Best thing about it? $1.50 from Forever21

I know it’ll tarnish soon, won’t last, etc, etc but I need to be sure I really did like the style before buying something pricier. I was thinking under $100 though. Something only gold dipped maybe. I was looking at those Dogeared necklaces at first. Lots of charms to choose from and I tried a few on last weekend.

Something from Jupiter would be a dream! It’s a brand Rinka has worked with for many years. They make simple, sweet pieces mostly. Very beautiful. Rinka has her own line for many seasons now.


Sehr Teuer, ja?! $$$$

But then today I found two gold charms from my childhood!
I’M SO HAPPY! I THOUGHT I LOST THEM!

I knew the chains were long gone. There were two necklaces my grandmother gave me when I was about 13. I was still very, very tom-boyish then and I really didn’t like the necklaces. The chains were extremely delicate and over time I knotted them and broke them. But I can’t believe I held onto the charms! One is a double heart. The other is a kitty.

Now I just need a short gold chain! I’m so happy I found these

Ah so yeah great Monday! I was really productive today, feels good. Though I’m exhausted. So I’ll end it here.

A little bonus shot from today. I wore these two lip glosses all day. Shu Uemura and Melliesh in Baby Doll. I never realized how well they compliment one another. They ended up together in my makeup pouch by coincidence.

I’m wearing Melliesh in Juicy Orange in the above sleepy Sunday pic actually~~ I like Melliesh lip glosses so much

A Quiet Weekend with Some Shopping

Monday, May. 16, 2011 | 57 Comments

Hola~~~ 

So it’s raining… forever, at this point. All weekend into the next. Boo. It’s always rainy this time of year. Our rainy season

So Saturday I went on a hunt for the tote and shoes. Well win~lose. UO didn’t have the shoes in store. And online the review says the sizing is really off and since they only have full sizes and I wear a half I’m calling it quits. I’ve already got some white flats that will work for now. I keep them at work but I guess I’ll bring them home in case I want to wear them after work.  

The tote was a better outcome. I went to the LLBean store to figure out which size and length I wanted. Then ordered it online today with monogramming. Really looking forward to a new work bag. Mine has loose seams and I wish it were a little bit bigger sometimes. So the new bag should work out great. 

Shopping outfits, kept them low key since everything I did was early morning and home by noon for lunch.

Blue Top - Zara
Army Green Khakis - H&M
Black Studded Heels - H&M
Black Quilted Bag - Yesstyle
Black Watch - Fossil

I bought a new collar necklace at F21 and brown barrettes at Target. Cheap but nice to have. I wore them both Sunday. I wanted some basic barrettes after seeing some from Dazzlin. Plus they look cute on short hair (which lacks a ton of style options) and it’s a good way to show on my earrings. I didn’t go through the pain for nothing!

Lace Shoulder Blouse - H&M
Glittering Black Knit Cardi - Old Navy
Nude Color Camisole - Zara
Distressed Shorts - W♥C
Black Opaque Tights - S-leg
Black Wedge Oxfords - Aldo
Black Quilted Bag - Yesstyle
Gold Collar Necklace - Forever 21
Gold Logo Disc Studs - Marc by Marc Jacobs

I also picked up a $6 bracelet from Forever21 that reminded me of a Dazzlin version I really liked. Not a bad “look for less” moment Not that the Dazzlin version at face value is expensive, but for me it would be (shopping fees + double shipping.) It’s all about location, location, location.



Thank you for to the buyers of my sales post . Really made it an enjoyable experience!

Update
Someone commented that Firipa put up some sales yesterday including the same CO&LU overalls if anyone who missed out on mine is interested
