PURPLE PATENT DR MARTENS!

I’M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I OFFICIALLY HAVE PURCHASED PURPLE PATENT DR MARTENS AND THEY HAVE ARRIVED!

i bought them off ebay in a nasty bidding war with a few other people, but thank god server bidder (an automatic bidder that bids when you’re not home/computer is off) bid on it within the last 3 seconds of the auction and i won them! :) i’m really happy, they’re beautiful and i’ve wanted them for a long time but dr marten doesn’t produce them in this colorway anymore :(

so anyway, it took some time to arrive because i won them 3 weeks ago but couldn’t pay till like last week, and they arrived thursday night (october 27th). it was a great surprise to see when i got home! they came from the UK!! :D PS, i have tons of homecoming photos to spam on here, which i’ll be doing after the dance tonight! yayy~!

ANYWAY photos. the only thing that annoys me is that the seller said her daughter wore them and it only had a few scratches, but there are a LOT of scratches at the tip :( i mean, i’ve had some of my docs for years and they don’t have any scratches–maybe a little bit of dust residue but no legit scratches!! oh well XD for the price i got them for, i guess it makes for it.

i’m super happy with them! can’t wait to wear them day in and day out ;)

gonna be in the school newspaper in a few weeks!! excited for that :DDDDD

embarassment + milky planet special set tiered skirt!

AAAAH SO EMBARASSING!!!

first things first: the photos may not be as big as usual if you click full size cuz i ran out of bandwidth on flickr. lol!

so in my last post i mentioned i would be in the school newspaper for my blog, which is awesome.

i forgot to mention that i was interviewed last friday for this style/fashion segment on the daily morning announcements.

so it airs today and it’s the most embarassing thing ever.

everyone answered really vaguely and quick response, but of course i HAD to blabber on and on.

to make things worse, they edited out the girl askin the questions so it just seemed like i was obsessed with talking about my clothes and opinion when really i was being asked :( it was so awkward.

i was like ‘oh i think the must have for this season is comfy coat or parka‘ (yeah, i HAD to say parka T_T no one knows what that is, apparently…) and then i was like ‘i got my shoes from nordstrom during their summer sale a few years ago, and my jacket is juicy but i got it from a thrift store in san francisco, i like it because it’s velvet and adds a pop of color’. god i regret saying all of that now, lol!

most of my friends at school thought it was cute or funny, but i got harassed (as a joke) all day today, when it aired.

every passing period at least one person would go ‘OMG I SAW YOU ON THE MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS LOL YOU’RE SO CUTE I WAS LAUGHING SOO HARD’, or my friends in band were like ‘sara took up 90% of the broadcasting time’ or ‘haha i get my shoes from nordstroms, noice one guysz’

i mean i’m not offended, i think it’s hilarious and i find it cool that everyone’s talking about it. sort of. well my classmates talk about it. yay! :)

ANYWAY! i got my milky planet pink tiered skirt in the mail today from lethalcute! SO HAPPY!

i remember i wanted to buy it in like 8th grade from juniorsweet, but i didn’t know how to use my paypal so i couldn’t afford it. i stalked a post on egl_comm_sales and noticed that lethalcute purchased it and i was like ‘oh if in the future you decide you don’t want it, just let me know!’ so she actually let me know like 2 weeks ago that she was looking to sell it and we settled on an affordable price for me, and it arrived in a mere two days!

amy [lethalcute] was REALLY sweet the entire transaction and was very patient when i was having paypal problems. i love her! thanks amy! <3

oh and, feel free to reblog on tumblr ;)

announcements! and a small photoshoot.

hey everyone!

i’m excited to say that…somehow, my friends at school were able to find my blog, and i’m going to be in the school newspaper :) i say ‘able to find my blog’ because i don’t like to show this blog to my classmates, because i used to show my classmates my youtube and they would embarass me about it, so i decided to keep this blog on the down low. however people were able to find it, which i don’t mind, and i was asked to be interviewed for my school’s main newspaper! it’s going to be pretty awesome, i’m actually very excited.

it’s going to be kind of embarrassing for a while, because i definitely know my friends will purposely read all my posts just for the hilarity of it, but at least it’s publicity, no? ;)

anyway yeah. that’s my announcement! i bought a cute shirt with a red fox print on it for $22 at a store called ‘x-generation‘ on haight street in san francisco, so i wore it out! :D

so anyway, new readers, welcome to my little blog.
[PS. i tried some new hair products from fekkai yesterday, and it's had a pretty good effect so far; my hair isn't as dry as usual. however it looks sorta puffy in these pics because it was still damp. FYI i am going to get a haircut this coming saturday so hopefully the somewhat-drastic cut will resolve my hair crisis at the moment!]

high waisted pants? yeah, never again. getting rid of these hand me downs from my mom–i don’t have the slim body for high waisted pants, as you might be able to tell! EEK!

for the record, that’s not my bra. lace undershirts from abercrombie & fitch FTW!

turquoise and suede, anyone?

hope you enjoyed, that’s all for now! i have much more to post when i have time.

outfit rundown

shirt – x generation (haight street)

pants, belt, and scarf – mom’s

shoes – franco sarto 

homecoming is next week so that’s exciting! :)

i’ll let ya’ll know when the school publishes my article–but don’t expect me to tell you what high school i go to!! O:

sophia alexandra drew iomoo!

a lovely lolita named sophia drew me!!

sophia is an awesome lolita from san francisco [go SF!!] who is one of the best casual lolitas ever. her blog is really inspiring, and she also makes her own dresses–some of the best handmade clothing i’ve ever seen!! i like the way she styles her lolita because it’s more of an indie/classic style, but with sweet prints. it’s really hard to describe, because it’s so awesome–go check it out for yourself!

i meant to post about it but i kept putting it off.

thanks a ton sophia!! :) and you drew me in my favorite outfit~ A++!

see more art on her blog here.

angelic pretty dreamy dollhouse poster!

dreamy dollhouse is my favorite lolita dress print, and my friend thevisual_beast was selling a bunch of angelic pretty posters, which some may still be for sale! :D so i practically jumped when i saw it was not JUST in postcard form but in POSTER FORM! :)

thevisual_beast [pepper] was super nice the entire transaction, as she always has been (i’ve had transactions with her in the past and they were more than perfect!). the shipping took quite some time but it was worth it in the end, and she threw in a few freebies for me! yay thanks pepper!! :)

without much futher ado, here are the photos.

PLEASE DON’T STEAL--i watermarked them because i’m very annoyed of seeing stolen photos from my blog on tumblr….:( i know the art is pretty but you must resist the temptation to take it, unless you link back to this post.

feel free to reblog these posts though! click, click, and click.

if  you feel the need to post or reblog these on tumblr, just reblog them from my tumblr or link back to this post.

how it arrived:

wrapped!

two free buttons; eeeeeee so cute!!

it kept rolling so i had to secure it down. i was stupid and put the scissors towards the poster at first, so there is a tiny scratch right above the green ribbon now :( oh well!

i couldn’t decide where i wanted to put it because i literally have no room anymore (which reminds me, i have to take down a few photos in my room of my old friends from two years ago in 8th grade–i still love ‘em, but it makes me sad to always be reminded of our old memories and i need space for photos of all my new friends! :) )

so i decided to take down my where the wild things are calendar [sadface] and put it there instead.

don’t worry, i moved the calendar somewhere else so i can still see it! now it’s right above my mirror next to my door~

and then i put the poster up! i just took some scotch tape and taped the ends to each other so it would be double sided, and then mounted it to the back of the poster, sorta–so that if i ever have to remove the poster in the future, i won’t have to rip or damage the art!!

time for pretty close ups!!

my favorite:

the buttons:

black button:

white button:

a cute gif i made :D

THANK YOU PEPPER! YOU’RE AWESOME! :)
