What I’ve been Up To

Saturday, November 26th, 2011 | 36 Comments

Not much aside from the multi-stage cold I have. I had to run out to the pharmacy today for more medicine. I’ve already gone through what I picked up last week. But I know I’m not alone. The sneezing and coughing in my office alone tells me that. Thank you everyone for the well wishes. I’ll try to get to responding to the week-old questions and comments people have left so sorry if I’ve missed it.

I had a good Thanksgiving though. I felt well enough at the time to bake the pumpkin pie and eat some dinner. We marathon’d season one of Game of Thrones. Also watched Bridesmaids finally. I was excited to see Chris O’Dowd from The IT Crowd as the love interest!

Anyway, I’m still not feeling quite myself but what have I been up to~~
This new medicine, for my now chest cold, doesn’t make me drowsy like the others. So I’m awake and restless. Figured I’d finally blog!

While at the Pharmacy I picked up these acne patches since I have a pretty bad cyst on my chin now from not being able to maintain my normal skincare regimen while being sick. I’ve used one before on a cystic spot on my chin and it definitely helped speed up the process of healing. But I think they’re being discontinued now since it was on clearance at 50% off?? Or maybe it’s just some weird Black Friday like sale on acne remedies, hahaha!

Speaking of Black Friday. Another thing I was doing this past week was watching QVC. I ordered a Clarisonic. It was a Mia2 bundle on a one-day only Black Friday price. Of course the throbbing zit on my chin helped encourage the purchase. I’ve wanted one for a while. I’m excited and nervous. Should come in this week

I did make it out for some Black Friday shopping. Not waiting in lines or anything insane though. It was actually the first time I had been out of the house (not including 2 days of work) in over a week. Madewell was the best turn out! There was a skirt there I had been wanting for weeks. I was hoping it was on sale finally. We got there at 7am and not only was the skirt already 50%… they had a “before 10am sale” where you got an extra 50% off the sale price! I grabbed it and two flannel blouses also double discounted.


Oversized cardigan and plaid scarf/wrap from H&M

New peacot from H&M too

This month’s magazines from Fujisan.com. They shipped my Sweet issue via FEDEX!! I was super happy to see that!

This new issue of Used Mix is excellent. It’s one of the bests in a while.

A small package I got in the mail from a friend. Tote bag and catalogs from Image, DURAS, and Peach John. Plus some cute socks! Image has Rinka on it

Well it’s been an hour. Time to take my acne patch off. Hope my zit has shrunk!

Chilly Weekend Wear

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011 | 42 Comments



Dress - H&M, Sweater - Madewell, Tights - TRAIN, Bag - Yesstyle, Flats - Payless



Dress - UNIQLO, Jeggings - Target, Scarf - H&M, Bag - Yesstyle, Socks - AE, Moccasins - Minnetonka

Saturday I wore those extra warm tights from TRAIN. The Onna no Yokubou attaka series. They are incredibly warm and feel like pajamas when on! They aren’t as tight as the Calorie Off series which was kind of a relief. This makes them feel extra comfortable. I really didn’t want to take them off! They block wind well too. In the first outfit my arms were more cold while outside than my legs thanks to the tights. They only add a tiny bit of extra thickness but still look 100% like tights and not leggings. Only downside is they seem to show wear easily. The tights are already showing a little wear and pilling in a few spots like on the heel. I don’t know if these would last more than 1 season. Sad. I should have purchased two! And a lot of people were asking about the size. imomoko sells M-L. This is the only size TRAIN makes for tights. It’s basically their “free size.”
