Welcome to the Family




I told you, it was jewelry overload this last trip.
There was this cool store in Alderwood mall that seems to mesh together music and clothes nicely.
I'll be honest and say if you are a wannabe rockstar, you'd love it.

Basically just some cool stuff I picked out, no need to blab on for this grouping. Frankly I'm exhausted from all this writing and shopping, I need a break. (Only form the writing of course, never the shopping).

Item: From Left to Right-
Big Beaded Cross on Gunmetal Chain-$19.99
Black thin Rosary-$19.99
Antique Gunmetal Ring w/white portrait-$15.99
Big Gunmetal Ring with Black Stone centre-$17.99
Location: Metro Park-Alderwood Mall, Washington USA

Rouched B-Suit


Along with Bra's, bathing suits are right up there with my least favorite things to shop for.
I suppose I can't justify why articles so small need to cost so much. It covers my ha-ha's and hu-hu, why in the world do these things cost over a hundred bucks?

I wasn't really in the mood for a new bathing suit, but I thought it best not to wait until I needed one, that way I lesson the pressure of picking something ill fitting and expensive because I have too.
I actually love this bathing suit, and it comes in all sorts of colors. There were polka dots, solids like purple, green, teal and yellow, and they are sold as seperates so you can mix and match. I love that there is a strap should you need it, but it comes off so you can rock the tube top style. It's also really comfortable and you can't beat the price.
For the record, I bought bathing suits before at Target and they still look great today, proving that cheap can most certainly remain cheerful.

Item: Mossimo Top and Bottom Bathing Suit (Sold Seperately)
Price: $ 17.99 Each
Location: Target-Bellis Fair Mall, Washington USA

Fun Earrings


This trip seemed to be all about Jewelry for me.
I got this set of 3 rosebuds and the pair of turquoise with gold stud earrings at Forever 21 for under 10 bucks.
I posted about these little turquoise rose studs I got a while back and people still seem to love them, so here is an updated version. When things are this cheap I usually buy 2 sets since I am prone to losing earrings and unlike socks, I don't fancy wearing mismatches. This time I only bought one and I intend to keep on eye on them at all times, until of course I find my next new favorites and these end up at the bottom of a drainhole.

Item: Turquoise Hoops with Gold Stud/ Set of 3 Rosebud earrings in Dusty Rose, Ivory and Black
Price: $3.80 each (USD)
Location: Forever 21 Accessories Store, Alderwood Mall, Washington USA

Best Supporting goes too..


I've recently posted my dislike for bra shopping and spending over 20 bucks on a boobie holster. I am surprised with myself that I found some that I actually liked, and they were under 20 bucks.
Some of you may think the larger boobed woman are blessed, but I call them appendages of the skin that require a basket in order to be able to function. Bigger bras just aren't nice looking and comfort goes out the window when something is required to hold up a couple of bowling balls. BUT, I found this one and liked it so much, as usual, had to buy it in two colors.

There is no underwrire,and somehow the straps are not adjustable either and it still fit me perfectly. Is this what it's like when you find something that fits properly? Maybe I'm one of those chicks who needs to be measured..perhaps my dislike is unfounded by my stupidity and/or being in "d-nial". I think I keep trying to squish myself into what is obviously too small of a holster, hoping for the best with not so hot results.
Love the leopard, love the comfort, love these bras. At $12.99 each with a $1.50 off coupon attached, this is my kinda deal,and one I gladly pass on to you.

Item: Wire Free T-Shirt Bras in Leopard and Black
Price: $12.99 less $1.50 instant attached coupon
Location: Target-Bellis Fair Mall, Washington USA.

God is Everywhere These Days..


I have an obsession with Rosaries. Part of this comes from the fact that you can't usually find them. It's like men, you want one , or more then one until they are on your couch all the time and then you get sick of seeing them. I'm not quite there yet, but I always liked that I didn't see too many around. Naturally when I came across eight thousand of them on my shopping outing, it worried me slightly that every 15 year old who stole 20 bucks from mamma's purse can get one, I'll worry about that later- until then my obsession continues.

Picked these two up for a bargain at Forever 21 in the states. I thought the baubles at the U.S one were way better than the selection at our Metrotown store. Again, not knocking our Canadian doors, but why don't we get the good stuff? I was there last week and I never saw anything like these. Of course I had to buy both, I need one to hang from my rearview mirror and one to fend off Twilight fans.

Item: Rosary Necklaces
Price:$7.80 each/both colors
Location: Forever 21, Alderwood Mall, Washington

Hot Pink Flashes


Once again, sorry about the pic. I'm really not a professional and I don't have the skills or equipment to take really good photos, but hopefully you'll be able to see the colors.

I posted way back about NYC nail polish color being right up there with OPI (which dries out way to quickly in my opinion).
I've bought a few colors since then and in light of my new hot pink bra that will be showing out of my new tank top, I thought my nails should be equally spicy.

Bought 2 new colors for "Spring". I am usually a huge fan of dark nails, but one must get with the times/seasons and mix it up a bit. The one on the left is a bit more of a natural berry color and the one on the right matches my new bra.

Item: NYC Nail Polish Left: 244B-Downtown
Right: 236B- Greenwich Village
Price: $1.72
Location: Target-Bellis Fair Mall,Washington (But you can get them at London Drugs here in Canada)
