you have your good and bad thrifting days. had a not so great one at salvation army on friday. (found nothing good, and walked around with a swollen toe! : [) the last friday of every month is 50% off everything. left with two belts for a $1 each. they were needed, but not really, but i'm glad i bought them.
passed by urban outfitters and got this hat for $10. at the salvation army, i thought, "man, i bet i'll find something better at urban outfitters than here"
i didn't give up though, the thrifting trip to goodwill today totally made up for yesterday! got two vintage victoria secret nightgowns (?).
almost ready for florida/the bahamas! hat, maxi, bathing suit, travel bag, storage/luggage check! all i need is film and waterproof cameras. got the blue plaid one on the left for $4.99 each from the urban outfitters website! what a steal. unfortunately, bathing suits from UO don't have padding for the bust, so i bought some from ebay. i hope they turn out ok!
got this harajuku lovers train case and brush roll on a whim because i didn't want to spend $51.52 on this too cute and perfect train case by paul & joe that used to be on the urban outfitters website. got both plus tax and shipping under the price for the paul & joe one! i'm such a cheap-ass -_-
got surprisingly good samples this time. the samples they usually offer are meh. really loving the Too Faced bronzer in Sun Bunny. when i first tried it, it was love! i've used it 3-4 times and there's still product left! can't wait to try the primer!

too much garlic

went to the gilroy garlic festival again : ] it was nice and foggy in the morning and cleared up quickly.
the food in order: garlic fries, roasted almond(?) garlic ice cream with caramel, strawberry banana and peach smoothie, garlic bread, and ribs!
geez louieeezz, i knew cvs was expensive, but $34 for only 6 things?! i'm such a cheapie...
got glycerin and a small spray bottle to make homemade mixing medium (1/4 of glycerin, 3/4 water). it sorta helps take the powdery look of powder foundation away, but it's still a bit matte for my taste. it also makes my skin feel sticky : [. but i can't wait to use it for eyeshadows.
the finished product:
wanted to try a powder foundation since it's summer. got maybelline's purestay powder foundation in buff. it's definitely too light as seen here:gah! : [

so summer

watched "Inception" on Friday and ate these delicious pretzels with cheese sauce. SOOO good!
what i wore:
urbanoutfitters bodysuit and forever21 skirt.
man, webcams are so much easier and look better!
summer=blackouts=bbq
the hot dogs were delicious!
ahhh Target! a girl's dream! fashion, food, and makeup all in one?! definitely one of my favorite stores to go to. got a much needed organizer for my receipts (i love organization!!! it makes me so happy to look at it! -_-), sandals on clearance, and a tinted moisturizer.
got this Sonia KashukRadiant Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15. bareminerals gives me itchy rashes on my face : [! that bummed me out because i really liked how it made my face look, all glowy and even. this tinted moisturizer is pretty good though. it evens out my skin tone, gives a nice dewy look, and even though it's a tad bit lighter, it blends in nicely.

scarves!

celebrated my sister's 21st birthday today. ate all day, but now i'm hungry again : [
yay headband scarves! only one of the various trends i'll straight up copy from vivi magazine. i can't wait to wear them when i'm in the bahamas in august!

sweating like a pig

what's been going on in the month of june (thank goodness it's pretty much over!):
got these goody spin pins. all i've been wearing lately is a bun because my hair is at that awkward length between short and long. these work great and look better than a jaw clip!
finally got a bike! i've been wanting a cruiser for a while, but every time a good one pops up on craigslist, it gets sold. got this baby for $40, but i need to get it fixed. can't wait!!!
omnomnomnom yummy beef steak and egg sandwich from new bambu. i ate one today and wanted another earlier T_T

i dunno, but it feels weird when older people complement what i wear. like these shorts. hmm.
currently wearing NYC's French White Tip and American Apparel's Summer Peach.

top: american eagle, tap shorts: american apparel
finally, a perfect and simple pair of high waisted shorts! i feel so american apparel in this picture lol. wanting to get these shorts in tan and blue as well and saw that they increased the price by $2. it's not much, but it's like hey....wtf.
lol i accidentally grabbed the tester at american apparel. this is one of their new lacquers in summer peach. can't wait to try it out.
top: forever21, shorts: h&m
wore this to my friend's 21st birthday. really into stripes, cropped tops, and high waisted shorts right now, as typical as it is. i'm glad that it's trendy and available right now.
