Thrift Shop Haul

I had such a fun day today!! My roommate and a friend and I went to a thrift shop called Potter's House that has everything in it under the sun. It has furniture and clothing and books etc. etc. I got six article of clothing for under twenty dollars! They are as followed:


Fuzzy mukluks!!! Aren't they almost completely hideous yet wonderful at the same time? Only $3.98!!!


A floral romantic dress with straps! For only $2.92! 


I found these shorts too! Do you see how well it matches my skirt? Great score, only two dollars and ninety two cents.


Look at this adorable belt!! I was so happy that I found it, I remember a belt like this in the manga Paradise Kiss and have been searching for one like it ever since. And all for 97 cents. 


When I saw these, a part of me died, and then came to life again. That part of me was a part of my childhood. The part that will always be in the 90s. It reminds me of the shoes the Spice Girls wore. I bet  their shoes didn't cost $3.98!! The last item I got was a doozy. Again, for only $3.92! I picked them out and my roommate Carley and our friend Latricia were immediately like, "You are not allowed out of the house wearing those." They are just so teeny and shiny. Look at them!!



I love this place. I definitely don't plan to go back often, because their things are so tempting, but it was nice to get a few new things after so long. I actually also found a skirt that I had hidden in my dresser that I haven't worn in a while. So I wore it today! I thought I looked really hipster-y today. Since I didn't have to work today I got to wear a short skirt and high wedge heels (not pictured). 


I feel awful that those pictures are not the best quality, I just moved a few days ago and have yet to find either of my cameras. So sorry! The quality will be better soon! I'm finishing the day with a milkshake and some How I Met Your Mother. And of course some blogging! I hope your day is going as good as mine!!!

Classes & Crafts

 Hello! I just started my new classes this week. Online classes are worse than I thought they would be! Before the class officially started, my professor emailed me and told me to have two sites coded, designed, and working within three days. It had been such a long time since my last design course, since I decided to get all my general classes out of the way. Coding is so much work(;´・ะด・)
Anyway, I ended up making the sites, but the next eight weeks are going to drive me crazy! Not to mention, things that I'm buying on ebay are not getting sent, I was looking forward to some dresses. Gosh.




Here's some color practice I did tonight after reading all the manga I could possibly read. On to some pictures of an outfit I put together



 Dress: Milky-chan replica
Cardigan: F21
Boots: Bodyline.


Finally figured out how to curl my hair this week, too! .\

Here's my Princess compact mirror, I got the charms at the local craft store. Oddly enough I notice some people take the castle one, glue it on the back of a ring, and call it "brand". Huh.




I also bought this little craft kit from Toys R Us, I gave the purple one to my boyfriend and it broke the same day.
Aside from these few crafts, it's been a boring week.
~Till next time~

Wild Milotic Appears!



Hi everyone! Today I went to my first session of my Milotic tattoo (just got back). This picture was taken right when I got home so you its kinda puffy n' stuff. I'm going to get the cherry blossoms filled in next, and more color c:
Ahhh now it stings! I guess this is my Valentines Day gift to myself, aha.


I finally finished one of my 11'x17' canvases last night! This one looks really cool, I added a ton of glitter, gold spraypaint, and detail on the body, so I'm quite proud of this c:

ON TO MY MAJOR SHOPPING SPREE! 
First paycheck= bye bye!


Finally got a new pair of platforms! These are awesome and arrived in the mail this week. I love them so much and they are fun to match with outfits, I've had a pretty "gothy" fashion week. I also ordered a ton of stuff from Bodyline, which was also sent out yesterday. I'll make a post on that when the stuff arrives.
Also, I've been trying hard to make new friends, and its working! Friday, I'm going to a meetup at the showing of "The Borrower Arietty". I'll probably go in lolita c: I love finding reasons to dress up~


Dylan took me to the "Too Cool" store the other day, and I got a Luna pillow! They had so many cute things at that store, they even had a Keroberos pillow (that I really wanted), but I chose Luna and will get Kero next time! OH, one other thing they had was a GIANT HELLO KITTY- the size of me! I've already decided to get it next week, even though its really expensive. I just really want it. Oh my god its such a huge plush. I'm tempted to just get it now but I'm going to wait because I did a ton of shopping ;_;



 Also got these! They are obviously not the VW shoes, but I will feel less guilty doing some serious adventure time in them :)
Here's the story on these and why I've spent so much this week: I bought the Vivienne Westwood angelomania wing shoes on ebay for an insanely expensive price months ago. After a long time of waiting, I did my research on the seller, and it turns out that I was ripped off (yet again!). I'm having a really bad time with sellers lately ;_; So I opened a case against them with all my collected evidence, and am waiting to hear back from ebay, hopefully I will get my money back. I better!


Also, here's my decora phone case that I made! c:
I made it a while ago, and found it again. I need to make a new one for my current phone~

Tonight, a friend also sent me some pictures she took of me when I was a freshman in high school, I never saw them till' tonight, and thought they were really cool! Here's three pictures of me in freshman year:



Long post! Thanks for looking at my blog!~
Going to post again soon :)
