Wallet Woes

Saturday, Boyfriend and I went to Richmond Center since we were bored and needed something to do to kill time. I wasn't planning to make it a mini shopping day but I obviously have no self control...

Outfit to the mall:
Lace Tank || Wilfred
Sweater/Cardigan || Forever 21
Braided Belt || Forever 21
Leggings || Gap

... here's what I made it out of the mall with. Darn Artizia and their Snooze You Lose sales. I forced myself to look since I was in the area per say lol
Wilfred Bustier Tank $17.50 Reg. $35.00
Love this. I have a few them and they're staple pieces. I needed one for spring and that wasn't black/white/grey. Score!

Wilfred Silk Kimono Sweater/Cardigan $69.99 Reg. $165
I was originally going to get  the blue/white combination but I thought I'd get more use out of this one..

Sunday, I went down to Seattle with a few friends. I wasn't expecting to buy anything at all since there was only one thing on my mind the entire road trip down..
Guess what it is!
(hehe experimenting with page breaks!)

The Valley by American Apparel

First time trying American Apparel Nail polish! I got this color + 4 other for $3 a bottle when Groupon(?) was hosting "The 7 Days of American Apparel" sale back in December (2011) where one item specific item would be discounted. I figured I should jump on this since it was a good deal.

The Valley

Thoughts?
I like this nail polish! Consistency isn't runny and the color is very opaque upon first application. I'm actually using one coat in my photos. Could stand to use a second coat but this is for show.
Tips are done with shimmery polish I bought from Daiso! I just brushed it on the ends and spread the sparkles a bit. nothing fancy :P I think this will look way better with darker polish.

Mmm.. Platforms, Rhinestones, Mirrors

Hey all! I'm so sorry about my absence. My life suddenly got ridiculously busy and consumed with school. It's been hard to fit in time to blog. I'm supposed to be writing an essay write now actually, but... I guess I can make an exception.

I haven't been shopping much at all lately, or at least until today, but it was online so that doesn't count! Here's my most recent purchase. I was contemplating buying these a few weeks ago and decided I shouldn't for my credit card's sake. Then they disappeared off the Aldo website for a while and now they're back! Couldn't resist.

An infinite set of facetted rhinestones creates the ultimate glam-chic effect on these platform and almond toe pumps. You will also love the sophisticated mirror metallic heel.

I must admit these were pretty pricey considering they're not even leather, but I LOVE the heel. This feature won me over. I hope these are as nice as the picture leads me to believe!
