New Car! (62) 
I’ve never had a brand new car before in my entire life! Not even when living with my parents growing up! 
BACKSTORY:
Currently Mike and I share 1 car. I traded mine in over a year ago for a scooter. We love just having 1 car & the scooter because if I need the car Mike works close enough to use the scooter. Anyway.
Mike’s car was 7 years old. He bought it back in 2002 for college. So, really, it was his car. Though we shared it now, to me, it always felt like his and I hated how it drove. It was a Kia Sportage. Totally worn and stained and falling apart. He was an art major so the seats were torn and stained with paint and ink and just BLAH! The warranty was up 2 years ago and since then it just sucks money from us constantly with needing nonstop maintenance. We’ve been NEEDING to get a new car. So when we realized our car qualified for the Car Allowance Rebate System we decided this was the best time for us to buy. We qualified for the full $4,500 credit!! Because the little jeep-like sportage got HORRIBLE gas mileage. Basically this bill allows someone with a very NON-eco friendly car to get up to $4,500 towards a new, better fuel economy car instantly. We didn’t want to spend much because car status isn’t important to either of us 
So we went for the 2009 Hyundia Accent in the end! We looked at so many different cars this weekend but we just kept coming back to it because of price AND ratings. We both liked the sportage for lugging stuff around, so we wanted a hatchback still and FUCK YEA yellow!! HAHAHAHHAAA! We were both in love with this “mellow yellow” color! It was also cheaper, hahahahaaa. Cars are so freakin’ boring here!! DC is so black and gray. Dear God. When I was testing driving it this woman screamed “CUTE CAR!!” at me and waved, LOL.

Dry Shampoo (47)
Hey everyone~~ I really wanted to blog today but haven’t had a chance till now & it’s nearly 11pm! I’ve been mostly busy. We went to see “Year One” this morning. It was OK. Not great but not bad either. Rent it, haahaa (when it’s out on DVD obviously). Then we went and did some shopping.
I saw these really cute sweaters at Old Navy with a bow motif on them! I think they’d be really cute for work but I couldn’t imagine standing in the summer heat in it despite it being short-sleeved.
Then at Target I saw THE CUTEST ROOM WEAR stuff!!! They had these ruffle & bow pieces in both short separates and longer onepiece items! I wanted the white tank + short set but they were sold out of my size 
It’s been so warm out and even semi-dry! Well, dry enough for periods of time that I can get away with skirts and cute shoes 
When it rains I always wear boring, plastic shoes because I don’t want to ruin my cute stuff of course! The pink off-shoulder shirt I got from Yesstyle is so cute & marine style, ね! I love the anchor on it~ It’s nice to have marine-themed items in non-blue, white, or red!
I thought the jewels on these funky eyelashes matched the studded anchor of the shirt well, haahaa!
They were really cheap lashes and totally plasticy BUT they went on easier than any other pair I own!
Oh the irony :driftingoff:
Speaking of purchases, I bought a sample (or travel) size of Dry Shampoo. It was on a whim really. I don’t really understand the hype with this stuff? It just reminds me of Elizabethan times when powder was used in hair as a way to mask odor! But nevertheless my hair (especially bangs) get oily mid-day and so I was thinking this might help.
The verdict?
It’s OK.
The powder smells great and it does help eliminate some of the greasy look. I don’t know if this is a MUST HAVE product for every day use though. I could see this being REALLY helpful on long overseas trips for freshening up your do, or perhaps after the gym or if you’re running late in the mornings and have to skip on the shower. It does make your hair really shiny 
Literally just took these
The before & after would have been better if I hadn’t already used the stuff at the store to test it out! Haahaa. So yea I’ll mostly use this after work on hot days when I’m wanting to go back out.
Besides makeup, I tried on a bunch of cute clothes today which really cheered me up! HOWEVER, I was a real good girl and didn’t buy any of them 
! YAY FOR WILLPOWER!
Here are a few snaps from a store called Papaya~
Oh, and my deco case isn’t on because a whip fell off and the glue underneath felt sticky still so I reattached it and am giving it longer to dry!
Another Yesstyle shirt! I actually got a compliment on it at Sephora today, heehee
Casual wear Saturday~~
The dress on the right was actually too big on me. Usually I take a (L) there but today I was really needing (M), haahaa. Diet helping?
I LOVED this cute dress! The flower empire waist was so adorable~
I look really tired
I blame it on Friday night
I LOVED this dress too! There’s actually an overlay of black polka dots on the tulle (?)
That’s it for now. I did find a black maxi (sorta?) dress that I’ll post later. Got it on sale for $20 
But it’s really late now so I’m going to go watch TV & fall asleep
