Happy Saturday


I have been obsessing over my photo apps. making bokeh's, frames, filtering, and just trying to get it right onto Instagram. 

I tried on the H&M angora blend sweater and hate it. Am I the only one who hates a shedding sweater that feels pricky against my skin? It seriously sheds and sticks to everything. I found a nice pair of faux leather pants. One size felt just snug right and I was contemplating whether to go up a size because I knew if I washed them it will shrink. And I was not going to throw down $35 twice. I went for the snug and just hope it won't shrink and I get skinnier haha. The $5 shirts were nice. Got a thin blue top with white designs that falls low - perfect combo with the high waisted pants. 

This weather has been super warm so any thoughts of wearing pants, sweaters, or long sleeves is outta the question. Can't wait for the cool fall season...this means new wardrobe on rotation! Short shorts and tanks are making their way back deep in the closet.

I'm wondering what I can do to vamp "the Spoiled Hanger" because it feels a little...dull?

Kappa Sushi

The Surf n Turf had lobster mush, fried asparagus, avocado inside and kobe beef(yes part of it's red raw) & garlic chips toppers. It was good and I liked how the sauce was put on the bottom of the plate so when you eat it has enough flavor to it. Fresh tasting? Sure. Never had kobe beef on sushi before and it tasted barely there. I rather have a real cut of meat. =) The garlic chips lingers in your mouth. Not bad.
 Below that is the sashimi special plate. The sauce was tangy good. Pretty....

Belkin - Grip Candy Sheer Case for iPhone5 Purple/Teal

This is the case I use for now because I like the teal border and purple backing with a lining on the front. The grip power is low. If your fingers are moist it'll slide a bit since its so smooth not rubber to make that 'grip'.

The Best Buy website shows the Apple logo see-thru to a shine on the back, but, it doesn't much. And as for those tiny teal dots on the lower right in the stock photo - doesn't exist. The teal is more on the darker side and the purple is more like a dark fuchsia color.
I still LOVE it though!





If I could switch the teal with this bright blue color...I sure would! So Belkin if you see me....get this exact bright blue and make it! The dark teal is an ehhh-I'll-setttle-for-now type of color.

The power and volume buttons work well with this case. =)

 

the Devouring Fork - Applebee's

Looks like I'll post my food blogs on here too instead of making 2 separate blogs...food and fashion all-in-one sounds good yeah?
I am so loving Instagram! It takes a while to see which filter looks better...kind of like when you go to the eye doctor and they ask you 'one' or 'two'...and you want to switch back to see the other one again... =P
Twist chips with spicy queso dip, oriental grilled chicken salad, and ice cream chocolate cookie. All pretty delish.
Yum!

Tilly's

One of the best tanks I love to wear over my sports bra when I work out. I bought a purple one a while ago and it's still in good shape. Just some fuzzies, but, they're easy to pick off. The site only had black&white in this design. I love the backing. It's a 'one size' stretchy fit that doesn't irritate you when you run or move around a lot.



The store had only black and white. So, I got the black one and another top that was on sale.

 The material is super soft and gentle feel. 100% rayon.


Didn't see this at the store. I want these, but, they ran out of my size online...nooooo! Super cute.

And all you pink cheetah fans...
only $4.97!!!! Get Here

Pocky Trays

Call it ghetto....call it odd...
.....call it the way to keep part of my makeup organized.


The ones I often use are kept here on the counter for easy access. The others are stowed away in the drawers. 

Besides I love Pocky! I figured I'd use it for something after all my Pocky bags were gone. And wah-lah! It has a decent look to it..so, until I find 'the one' this is where it shall be.

;)

Big Time Rush


I am totally poppy! Backstreet Boys was the 1st boy band I loved back in 1999.

Still poppy to this day and Big Time Rush is my boy band I just love love love!

Their show on TeenNick is hilarious...cause the guys are just great actors!

Logan and James are my 2 favorites...aaah! Hott!
I am so going to next years tour again if they come back to town...James you better come home and sing for us!

One of my favorite songs.... "Halfway There"
I seriously jump up and down to their songs...and I don't have to be at a concert to do it...heh. *squeals*

Groupon Love...~~!

Saturday morning is my favorite time of the week cause that's when groupon has the best deals! The really good stuff usually runs out before 12pm.

For those who don't know it's a place to shop really expensive products at a bargain. However there will be products that are just whack that are wannabe-considered-expensive. I missed 2 really really awesome deals that were sold out fast before - Dyson Bladeless fan and Jewelmint's Eternity necklace!! Ahhhh. 2 things I really wanted that just so happened to be on groupon!

So here's a good one I saw and got:

Herstyler Complete Styling Set

The Deal
$59 for a HerStyler complete styling set (a $326.44 list price), which includes a Colorful Season hair straightener, a travel hair straightener, and a Baby Curls Grande curling iron.
Choose from sets in black, hot pink, purple, purple leopard, pink leopard, or white zebra.

The HerStyler complete styling set is the Swiss army knife of hair styling kits, performing any hair-taming task with its 1.5-inch and travel hair straighteners as well as a clip-free curling iron. Both the mama and baby straightening irons smooth frizz and unwanted waves with solid ceramic plates, generating glossy styles with minimal heat damage. The curling iron coils locks into springy ringlets or soft waves with the aid of tourmaline heat technology, while an included heat glove shields hands while styling or lobbing lava balls during lava-ball fights.
Colorful Season Hair Straightener
  • 1.5-inch solid-ceramic plates for speedy, uniform straightening
  • Smoothes hair for glossy, frizz-free styles
  • Adjustable heat settings with a max temperature of 460 degrees
Travel Hair Straightener
  • Ceramic plates heat in 30 seconds
  • Ideal for travel or precision styling on domesticated fairies
  • Negative-ion technology
  • Maximum temperature of 410 degrees
Baby Curls Grande Curling Iron
  • Clip-free curling iron for 18- or 25-inch curls
  • Create curls, waves
  • Instant tourmaline heat technology
  • Includes heat glove

They're usually at the kiosks at the mall. I have the pink straightener and still have trouble getting the right angle to create curls. Once I get my new zebra set I'll practice more and hopefully get the curl down perfectly. The curls I make are kinda off, but, decent. My right side ends up looking nicer than the left cause I'm right handed heh.

I also have the shampoo. It smells great and makes my hair feel soft. The serum smells the same too. If you go to the kiosks pretend you don't know if you want to spend that much or some line cause they will bargain down for you immensely. The people that talked to me always say 'just for today I'll give it to you for $100 normally $120' yaddah yaddah 'I won't be here tomorrow' or 'my boss will get mad that I'm giving you this deal'....it's all a joke cause they will always make money even if they even say they will sell it to you at the price she would get it for. So go with a girlfriend cause it makes it that much easier! My friend got a free shampoo cause we were like '..ugh I dunno...'. =P

I heard online buying at amazon and such it doesn't smell the same...so be wary when thinking about purchasing online. I rather buy it at a kiosk and be able to sniff it and just do that whole 'I dunno if I want this' act.

Anyways...enough me blabbing..

Charlotte Russe - Shoe Haul

They have vibrant colors to styles that look almost like the designers...almost. It's cheap and sometimes their quality is too. But, if you are looking for cuteness in your closet collection, few photo poses, and just like it - get it!

They have a couple sales going on:
Select shoes for $20 and Buy 1 Get 1 $15.50. Lots to choose from.

  I like the phrase, "If the shoe fits, rock it."


This sparkly leopard print pump caught my eye and even though I can't walk in it, I'm still getting it. I blame the 'if its cute i want it...at a reasonable price' feeling in me. ;)
 
$35.50 on sale for $20



Motorcycle Jacket Platform Bootie
A girl tried this pair on and I had to too. It was super comfy and thick. I only took a few steps to the mirror, but...I think I can walk in this for at least an hour type of comfy.
Super cute and rockish!
Buy Motorcycle Jacket Platform Bootie Style Sonny Here
$40 

 I needed a new pair of black boots. Getting into this was tough. The hard mold above the Achilles heel was tight so my back foot couldn't push through unless I pulled the wrap part hard hoping it wouldn't tear. After that part, it felt fine. And no I don't have cankles, the boot is just made that way. =P
So with the sale, the $30.00 boots became $15.50 yay!


I would never pay $40 on a pair of CR booties. With the deal of $15.50 I figured it be as if I spent $28 each.
Hope the sale is still going...!
