valhalla

Online shopping should be my career, no really. One of the reasons I love to shop via internet (besides that it's so awesome) is because it's so convenient- it saves me going from store to store when I'm looking for something specific. I've been in need for a new purse lately since I've been using the same old vintage one for quite some time. I've been more interested in leather purses and I luckily stumbled upon Valhalla, an amazing etsy store that is run by one woman(!) with a beautiful collection of leather purses! That's not all either- according to her website they are handmade from new, recycled and vintage materials.




other purses i'd like to consider:

ebay.com, urbanoutfitters.com, topshop.com, mulberry.com


Now, my only dilemma is trying to afford one ;)

sick outfits

cardigan: plato's closet
dress: f21
tights: ?
shoes: urbanoriginal




blazer: vintage
dress: old navy
tights: buffalo exchange
shoes: (same as above) urbanoriginal

Sorry for the mini-absence, I hate being sick especially when it seems like my work schedule has gotten pretty hectic- especially trying to find time in between to do the piles of homework I've got to do! Is everyone ready for Halloween? I can't wait although I'm not too sure what I'm going to be (I know, I'm so late at this!) yet. I love the idea of passing out candy and seeing everyone's costume and carving pumpkins. Last year I went to a couple of Halloween parties but I'm not even sure if any are going on this year :\

I was really interested but hesitant to get Influence, a book by Mary-kate & Ashley Olsen but after seeing these sneak peek photos, I think I may just put my pre-order in!


















PS- I've been ill these past few days so sorry for the lack of posts! I will get into the blogging groove again soon :)

backyards

I'm getting sick :( I slept really early last night because I felt horrible. Hopefully it will go away soon :(


This is what I wore to explore someone's backyard :P Haha @ my eyez. -_-





I'm actually wearing pants! I think this is the first time since.. earlier this year, haha. I wore only dresses this summer along with a few outfits with shorts. It felt a bit weird but I think I'm going to start wearing pants again :P

cardigan: ?
blouse: old navy
pants: (i actually safety pinned these to make them more have a "skinny" look since it looked weird with the heels!) old navy
heels: buffalo exchange

looking forward to cold weather(still) and perhaps a mini vacation soon?

blazer: vintage
dress: thrift
shoes: urban original

Did the last picture fool you? I am not actually wearing glasses :P My eyes just looked haggard so I added some sticker from photobucket, haha. I wore this to class today. Nothing special! I can't believe cold weather hasn't begun here yet. It's still going to be 80 degrees all week! :( Good news though, I might be going to Disneyland a second time for the holidays and to visit a good friend of mine! I'm pretty excited.. especially since this will probably be my first trip alone, ah. I have to go now and do some stats hw :(

ps- psssst california voters!

confessions of a shopaholic

I don't know what's worse, the state of my uncleaned and unorganized room or my spending habits! I love getting things in the mail but I need to cut down on my online shopping! I got a package from monpetitpois the other day and then three pairs of shoes from UrbanOriginal. I feel so, so, so guilty but everything is beautiful! Hah, spoken like a true shopaholic!

toast

the catalog photographs from toast make me want to pack my things and never look back. or at least take a trip somewhere beautiful. i hate being in the same place all the time. i need change. i want to meet people from different places and have tea with them and go shopping. or even better, just wander around the streets and take pictures of everything. i don't want to settle down just yet.

i forgot to add that i'm mentioned over at drops of glamour! thank you darling!
