SWEET 16TH JANUARY HAUL

so the 20th was my 16th birthday and it was a blast! even though i was really upset in my last post, things have taken a turn for the better, or at least for now.

i’m really scared that february will suck because i’m always ‘superstitious’ that bad things happen in february, but idk…so far things are okay.

here is a HUGE haul of all the things i bought after christmas that arrived in january in time for my birthday, plus some really old things i forgot to blog c:

super old from octoberish, but here is a free people rayon dot dress i bought off ebay for around $40. i really like it, but the waistband always rides up when i wear it because my torso is short, so i have difficulty styling it…any advice?

this is a pleated lace dress i bought from topshop with a low V back.
i’ve mentioned on my formspring a trillion times that i’ve always wished for this 3.1 phillip lim silk flower and pleat-embellished dress, but it’s $900, so…

but then i saw this lookalike on topshop that i was stalking in case it came back in my size, and luckily it did AND it was on sale for $35 when it used to be $75!! so i jumped to it and i’m glad i did, because it sold out immediately after!

on the site’s stock picture it was more of an ivory but in person it’s tanner. i like it either way tho!

please excuse this absolutely shit quality photo of me wearing it…i look great i know..T_T

this is a house of the gods shirt i bought from urban-eclectric! i saw it on miranda cosgrove and, as you all know very well now, i love her style and when i saw her wearing this i was dying to have it! they are the only site that carries it, and it was on sale, so i bought it :)
house of the gods is one of my new favorite shirt brands, their shirts are such great quality!

the shirt features deborah/debby/debbie harry, aka blondie!

next is a free people ‘we the free’ crocheted jersey shirt. it’s a cool orange color with crocheted sleeves, with little embellished(?) flower things. i really like it!! the black shirt underneath is also free people but i bought that over the summer XD the best part is, it was only $15 and it was originally $110 on the free people site! wooo.

i also bought this minnie mouse shirt from target as a sleep shirt. it’s slightly cropped but i bought it a few sizes larger so it fits loosely! whoopeeee!

my free gift from sephora for my birthday!! it’s a lip duo from the brand fresh. these are the best chapsticks i’ve ever used!! :)

and finally, one of the best purchases i’ve ever made: the lucky brand jeans canvas carry-all bag.
it is so perfect. and gorgeous. and sturdy and huge. i LOVE it. no words, people. no words.

and even though i’m going to make a separate post about my birthday and pics, here are the things my friends gave me as presents :)

ryan higa as hanate! LOL

yeah, i…don’t know. HI PATRICK LOL SO CUTE

i’ll go more in depth about it in my birthday post, but it’s ironic that i got a forever 21 giftcard because i got kicked out of forever 21 on my birthday!! like i said, another time :)

‘remedial’ because one of my friends apparently has a different present that is in the mail or something? idk haha!

so derpy i love it!

such a pretty bracelet, i love turquoise!

okay, SUPER AWKWARD AND FUNNY STORY ABOUT THIS PICTURE!!!!
so one of my friends and i have the same birthday, and we basically became friends last year because we found that out. so sometimes at lunch when we’re bored we go to the library to watch SNL skits or jimmy fallon snippets because we’re really popular. and so i recently showed her the thank you notes segment of jimmy fallon and she LOVED IT! (who doesn’t!) and so i bought her this book and kept telling her i had a surprise present for her, and then randomly she told me she had a surprise present for me that was coming in the mail.

so then the monday after my birthday, we exchange presents, and mine is wrapped around the book but her present to me is wrapped in like 5 boxes so that i wouldn’t know what it was, and…

WE GOT EACH OTHER THE SAME THANK YOU NOTES BOOK BY JIMMY FALLON!

TROOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLOL. it was LEGIT the weirdest and stupidest thing that has ever happened to me. many lols were had that morning.

anyway. so one of my friends followed a collar tips DIY by honestly WTF and made me these cool pins that attach to your collar!! they look really awesome with my flannels.

thanks for reading this haul post! i promise i’ll be more interesting in the next few weeks.

please subscribe/follow! love all of you

selling some free people! ★

hey all!

so i have a ton to share with you, including how FUN band camp was, and i mean that! it wasn’t bad at all! but that’s another story for another blog post, right now i just wanted to let you know i’m selling some free people items on eBay! :)

1. Free People Red Plaid Open Roads Buckled Up Menswear dress sz 0

$110 starting bid or $150 buy it now

so as i explained in a blog post a while ago, i love love LOVE this dress but i decided i’m just going to buy a new bigger size since i couldn’t fit into this one as well as i had hoped.

i’ve never worn it before, just tried it on but it didn’t fit me well :(

miranda cosgrove wears these during the merry christmas drake and josh episode! :)

2. Free People Skinny Tan Corduroy Leggings size 25 $120

$50 starting bid or $70 buy it now

these pants are amazing! i’ve never worn them before except for trying them on during a short [unpublished!] photoshoot, i decided that jeggings aren’t really my thing.

this color and fabric [corduroy] are really in right now, and will look awesome in the fall! :] the pockets are sewn together.

me wearing them here, for a photoshoot [the only time i wore them]

SO! if you like these, please leave a comment with your email so i can invoice you on paypal or bid on them on ebay! :]

summer shopping at macys~!

WTF guys i just made this post and everything got deleted…im really mad…T_T

anyway sorry if that showed up in your feed all blank.

i went summer shopping with my mom on may 30th at macys and made up some outfits. enjoy!

this first outfit is a cute one shoulder top and leopard skort from free people :] haha, skort. it’s shorts that look like a skirt ;D

here’s the same top, but in a more casual coordinate with my AG coords that i wore that day :]

you can completely see my bra in this next pic…LOLOL anyway the top is from BCBG and the same leopard skort from free people. i like the beachiness of this pic, and i think the shirt looks nice half tucked in.

same BCBG top with polka dot skort from free people. notice how it looks more french, wheras the other one looks more beachy…or at least in my opinion it does. hmmm!

and the same top again, but with BROWN free people polka dot skort! it was one size too big though so it looked too baggy, ugh.

i like the colors  together though! but i think my favorite skort with this top was the black polka dot combo :)

here’s a marc by marc jacobs sweater that i ADORE but couldn’t afford…well i mean my mom could, but not me x_x

and free people polka dot skort! i actually love these skorts…i think i might buy the polka dot ones…

okay, this was a complete fail. i wanted to wear a marc by marc jacobs skirt that was 2 sizes too big. hence this outfit became a fail. but  you can see how i thought it might have worked…right? XD

now, THIS beuat was a pastel marc by marc jacobs dress. it was one size too big, but i think it was still okay.

you can find it at bloomingdales, piper lime, and saks! i recommend you look at how it looks on the runway on the saks page (just click the link) it looks SO beautiful!

this next dress is from the see by chloe line. therefore it was like, $500. it was also size 10. that’s 10 sizes too big. LOL but look how pretty it is! or…could be…on someone else…

see? the model makes it look great…because she had the right  size…T_T.

this is a really big free people henley that i liked but, like i said, was huge. the colors go together well though! :)

and…the same top with leopard skort.

let’s just not say anything about this. you and i both know why.

(if you’re not catching my drift, it looks terrible. and i look like i have bulging fat coming out from over the top. LOLOLOL)

i was literally stalking this dress on freepeople.com for ages, just to find that it’s extremely unflattering. good thing i didn’t buy it, lol! oh and this is an XS. look how it eats me alive in this pic! AND, i’m even securing it with my hand in the back! X_X.

lastly, here is an ADORABLE swimsuit from DKNY…i tried it on actually and it sucked. ah well.

let me know if these bore you or not!

if so, i won’t do them anymore. i just thought it’d be fun to test my coordinating skizzels! hahaha. i have another one coming up soon! :D

this is my friend elyh. i adore him!! he’s so silly but can be annoying.

his hat was really soft. abby and i were pondering why it looked all hoboish and inside out but it was actually supposed to be like that. ‘dude this hat cost $60! actually $120.’ abby and i were confused. ‘because…well i left it on BART the first time so i had to rebuy it’ LOLOLOLO see…loser :)

abby!!

i love abby…LOL

i think abby looks really pretty here. she’s really pretty and skinny i’m so jealous haha! :D

recent gets ★

so a while ago i had star testing at school! and that means school ended at 12:30 :)

all i can say is i definitely BSed the history part.

my logic: ‘it can’t be A because the last one was A, and i got two C’s before that, and a D before that. why would there be no B’s? it’s B. wait…no. wait yes it is! it HAS TO BE! …. i’ll just choose A because i chose A as the last one.’

then 20 mins later i erase it and write B ♥ LOL!

ANYWAY so there are some things my mom bought for me a  realllllyy long time ago that i forgot to update! so here they are :)

first: two postcards! the seller accidentally sent the wrong one and sent me the right one for free ^_^

fantastic dolly & rose toilette i think?

how sweet!!

number two, h&m floral dress! i’ve wanted this for like ever :) i’m not afraid to admit that i wanted it because miranda cosgrove wore it on icarly! LOL

and it was fairly price at $19.99 w/free shipping!

nicely folded.

it’s a liiiiiittle big, but better big than small (so i’ve learned!)

here’s a pic of me wearing it at the SF zoo with my friend! :)

and aww, a sweet business card!

next: sheer black & white blouse! i love this. i had one that was solid but it’s not as flattering as this one.

oh and…can you say awkward? should have worn a black cami underneath, lol.

worn together as a joke: LOLOLOL it’s really ugly ;o;

look, built in petti! love it!

next item, kate spade pray for japan tote! they had a few left at my local store, yay~

it got dirty when i went to a conference over the week tho…ughhh oh well i’ll clean it ;o;

i seriously think it has boogers on it…like i thought it was dirt at first but….-cringe- nevermind that.

i also got my dreamy dollhouse pillowcase in pink! SORRY the pics are gross. i’ll take better ones later on.

yay it matches my salopette at least! <3

i need to find a pillow size that will fit it….O___O

here’s some other stuff that i didn’t feel like taking pics of :)

free people floral shirt $26

ivory polka dot tights $3!!

time for finals this week. fml.

happy-sad ;; dilemma?!?!

credits: free people, urban outfitters, 80s purple

HEY EVERYONE!

i have super exciting news! after nearly 4 years of searching, i’ve finally found the open roads/menswear free people dress in red that i’ve always wanted. it’s finally mine!

i’ve been so eagar to get it ever since i saw it in merry christmas drake & josh, worn by miranda cosgrove who plays megan.

however i’m rather upset. i am really annoyed at the pleating on this dress. it really doesn’t do justice towards my torso area, as i haven’t gotten…very many curves there? lmao idk, it just looks so sloppy and awkward!!

i purchased it in my normal free people dress size, which was very lucky since it’s extremely rare, but i also found it in one size larger but i thought it would be ‘too big’ which is why i went with the smaller size…and now i’m nervous that it’s either too small or just looks weird at my torso! everywhere else fits EXCEPT THE MIDSECTION! x_x

i’ve tried wearing a VERY light petticoat, since in the photos below it seems miranda cosgrove is wearing a red slip(?) and i think it just makes my hips look…wider. >_< honestly.

i’ve tried wearing my best spanx, which i wore under my graduation dress which helped me fit, and it kind of defines my shape but barely.

i know i’m not a model and they’re extremely skinny but i still feel like the fitting/pleating shouldn’t have been an issue :(

i don’t want to make any alterations or anything but i want to be able to make this dress work on me! :(

photos: (i know, awkwarddddd!)

can you guys please help me out,

if i have any readers out there?

even if you’re embarassed to comment because i know you in person or if you just tend to skim over my blog ;; it would really REALLY mean a lot to me for advice; i’m really heartbroken that i can’t make this dress work.

and just for fun, here are some photos of miranda cosgrove wearing it :) (click for larger)
