Felt Like Blogging

Thursday, 2/26 [2009] // 47 Comments

I can’t believe it’s already 11pm! But at least tomorrow is Friday which = I can wear jeans to work


Got these tonight~

I’m sorta doing well with curbing my spending! I only actually BOUGHT Vivi tonight! Pinky & Non-no were already paid for via earlier prepaid subscriptions!! Even though I was REALLY tempted to buy Zipper! Really cute, spring issue plus WTF Tsubasa was in it!


I suppose she’ll become like Shoko and Meg and start doing monthly outfit photoshoots?? I also skipped on getting Soup that had a super cute Aiko on the cover~~!! I didn’t even flip through JJ or CanCam

So I mention all this BECAUSE I back ordered the I ♥ Ronson Romper!
THANK YOU TORI!
It’ll probably arrive early April just in time for my Birthday! And it was so cheap so whatever I walked away from spending on the rest of the line earlier this week so I win. No Lent breakage happening so far, hahah


The second pic of it creeps me out! Scary corpse model~~

I’m so happy I’ve made the switch from Non-no to Pinky~~ Even the ふろく is better! I’m much more excited about Pinky’s Alba Rosa bag than Non-no’s mirror. Though not that it matters… it’s the same publishing company so really I’m making a big fuss over nothing!

So Vivi was about double in size this month. I know a lot of people mentioned it and were excited by it all. I was of course interested too! The price was basically the same but over 400 pages! But is it just me or does the print quality seem a bit lower??? To save money??? I dunno, I just felt like it looked more like Sears catalog quality rather than “high-end magazine” if you will. Just my thoughts on it~

Poupee 2nd anniversary items were released today~~!! But again not all 66 items were released
So I just bought the tiara and will wait for the rest~ plus I liked my outfit too much today to change into the new stuff

And speaking of Poupee doesn’t this snap from Vivi totally remind you of the Naomi hair puffs!!!??

Vivi always has a ton ‘o ads but I didn’t notice any higher ration or anything. It had like 3 or 4 booklets too which was crazy

TOO MANY MAGAZINES TO BUY!!
I took an interest in that ViVi issue too, don’t normally look at it but 400 pages, that’s a catalogue! My head was hurting looking at all the scans, seriously they must have spent so long working on it. *claps* ViVi has certainly won the month.

Tsubasa in Zipper! ..Okay. Strange as it is I now have an overwhelming urge to buy it. If we lived in Japan there would be no skipping right? Just buy every mag that’s out!

It’s great that poupee keep releasing all these new items, but don’t they consider the financial situations of their members? I only spend ribbons buying official items, so my dress up closet is full of items I cannot sell, because I sold all my sell-able items to buy official ones!! It’s a constant struggle Katharine!

I love Tsubasa, but it kind of annoys me how plastic she is with all of that surgery. In some pictures when she’s smiling, I think she looks like she’s crying or it’s painful to have to move her face. XD

Yet she’s still so cute somehow, hahaha~

jenny said
February 27, 2009 @ 9:53 pm

LOL I know exactly what you’re talking about!!

I am so jealous of your cute romper and magazines, lucky girl!

I have a question. I really like how all of your pictures have pink polka dots around the edges, how do you do that?

jenny said
February 27, 2009 @ 9:54 pm

It’s just CSS and instead of using a background color it’s an image ;D

Thats such a cute romper XD! Do you have like a huge bookshelf dedicated to your magazines?

I have a question of where you buy your magazines from, does it cost less to have it prepaid or does it just ensure you to get it. Also, does that place carry FRUiTS? I live in the D.C. metro area too so I’m assuming we’re talking about the same Japanese bookstore :3

jenny said
February 27, 2009 @ 9:58 pm

I actually do have a big shelf which I JUST had to replace to get more room and plan to post photos soon

Yea the store’s called Taiga. They don’t get FRUiTS in but you could get a subscription through them. If I recall correctly, for a subscription you get like 10% discount and a year is 15% but I haven’t asked lately. It IS cheaper. Plus if you get your subscription during a time when the dollar is strong it can benefit you in the long run (haha!) It also ensures you have an issue waiting on you. I think they ship to houses too but that’s extra. Prices used to be about twice the yen amount but lately thanks to crap economy it’s triple~ *sigh*

Poupee. Whenever I go to buy items at the Kathrine shop, it always say that there are no items available for me to buy. Do I have to collect a certain number of ribbons to buy them or something?

I don’t really get how poupee works so I rarely ever dress up my poupee girl. I just upload my photos on there. XD

Btw, I’m also ♥Honeydew♥ from poupee.

jenny said
February 27, 2009 @ 9:49 pm

No, the shop thing is strange, you should see like 2 floors of stuff to browse right now =Y. How odd.

 
 
Ys said

Hehe Poupee’s taking over your life like it has with mine! I ended up spending 280 ribbons this morning on the new stuff! I have to stop doing that

Well done on being so good with curbing your spending. We were meant to be saving lots but just lately we’ve started to slip…

i love tsu-chan she’s all over the place now~.

& i think i’m sorta over the hype with vivi…they’re all half models and the fashion’s almost too trendy - like only models can pull it off and sorta looks all the same… :/

Thank you for reminding me about the new ViVi issue! I have it downloaded in files…and I’m debating getting it in tangibility because I absolutely canNOT pass up 400 pages……..!!

and i love tsubasa : )

I’ve had to pretty much STOP spending since I don’t have a job anymore. ;A; but it’s okay, I DL magazines a lot so I don’t miss out on the trends, but i don’t get the free gifts either D: aw well, you win some, you lose some

I love this months issue of Vivi! I tore basically all the pictures with lena fuji on them because the outfits we’re so cute! Spring fashion is always one of my favorite fashion seasons. ✩

I’m so jealous!!
I wish the place where I get my magazines got their magazines earlier…I always have to wait a month for them to stock T-T

VIVI! I want this month’s Vivi badly, I saw scans and I’d wear just about wear everything in this issue. You get your mags from a store?

 
Nanako said
February 28, 2009 @ 5:21 pm

I love the girl’s tights from the second picture :O
They’re so cool I really want them D:

 
Leanne said
February 28, 2009 @ 7:14 pm

Haha, that pic totally reminds me of the Naomi hair stuff! I think because Poupee bases alot of their items on real items which is good! But then I don’t understand why they have such fugly items like the furry bracelet D:

jenny said
February 28, 2009 @ 7:51 pm

I’ve gotten that STUPID bracelet so many damn times!! *rage*

What are the “prizes” this month in the mags? I really wanna take a trip up there and get some mags (actually have money thanks to tax refunds- SURPRISE! lol) but I need a good excuse

I, too am waiting for more anniv. items. I just got a tiara and a blue purse

jenny said

Yay for I ♥ Ronson! It’s actually the first diffusion line I like (I was looking forward to the McQueen line for Target until I saw samples.. ew) I hope you get yours soon though!

Hm… I might have to get that copy of Zipper now~ Tsubasa is so much love
