weekend update + mode coordinate

(Panda setting up for the party, you can see his gto and his pompadour XD)

So Last weekend, was a crazy weekend for most I’m sure. Between BBQs and family dues I’m sure most of us were up to our eyeballs in things to do and people to see.

Saturday: Panda’s familia had a fiesta, an overdue graduation party and town hall fireworks..etc
Sunday: Tailgate thrown by the community church, family, fireworks, soccer, BBQ, line dancing..lols
Monday: Sibling run to Mistuwa.

Between running here and there I did not get much pics, but I was able to try some new coordinates. As like everyone else, I am smitten by the mode look! I snagged this dynamite shoulder shirt from Urban Outfitters, and the shorts are my fave BCBG (that are sadly now 4 sizes TOO BIG, can you get shorts tailored????) These shoes are okay IMO, I feel like my new ones will really take this look over the edge.

Make face:

Doesn’t it look like I’m wearing falsies!! I’m just wearing lash blast fusion, which I love more than any other mascara I have tried. Panda actually bought it for me, which I left in his car along with my cell phone, he brought it back to me on Monday and drew me this little love note.,,which i'll scan and show you later..

(Sunday was family picnic, I didn’t take no pics, and it was a basic coordinate with a rockabilly flair.)

Monday: as stated before I made my way to Mistuwa, I picked up JILLE and MORE, and more had this awesome Gelato Pique eco bag that Is finally MY SIZE it fits 2 magazines, one graphic novel, my make, DS, camera, and water bottle, NO JOKE. And its ADORABLE...It also came with shampoo which I’ll just take with me on the plane…(pics soon)

Here’s my simple coordinate

Dress: Gift
crochet vest: Korean Mall
Cancan: Urban
Gladiators: …I dun remember, macys?

Makey Makey, this is towards the end of the day so, not much, and my hair is complete frizz, guh humid Chicago DX.

Luckily; on Thursday I was able to snag some organic tinted moisterizure + SPF (along with some vegan meals- yumyum) at the Health Food store. It’s fairly reasonably price (about $10) No added extras and fragrance free. Buildable too! My skin loves it and I don’t feel like my face is melting off (HA) I’m sure it will be perfecto for MEXICO..which is in..16 DAYS!! (thank God, mee needs una vacation!) Especially now, i found out yesterday that *I GOT MY APARTMENT* It's in perfect and vintage-y...i prefer classic architecture than an efficient new box..:/

I'll give some info on it without spilling all the beans (i dun wan no stalkin..:'(..heh)

It's a few blocks from the lakefront :D
It has a walk in closet, which is like the size of a small bedroom
It was built in like the 1920s so it has some cool wooden floors and decor...
I gots a balcony XD
Its in walking distance from some of the best shopping in Chicago, and comic book stores (lols)
...and let me clarify i don't mean like "old navy"...I mean like free people store, sweet vintage shops, an indie movie theatre (YES!), Barneys co-op :D
Utilities included :'D

But my lease starts Aug 6 and I get back Aug 3rd...thats cutting it close DX sooo...expect me packing for a good while ;_;...when I'm all done and set up I promise to do a video tour! This is my "first place" so I am very excited, I always dreamed of being all sex in the city with my own place (less sex more city), no crazy roommates (just maybe some crazy neighbors, heard the building is full of actors and up and coming film students) and I'm free from campus housing since this year I'll be a "super senior" and I could not stand to live with another 18 year old...

Anyway, it's time to start my weekend!

btw enter Miruku's giveaway its pretty flippin sweet!!! Good Luck! + 40 followers, wow! I should have a giveaway myself...I already started planning..lets say it will be magical!

Mashed Potatoe

I really need to get going to bed especially since I'll need to get up at 6, but I wanted to do a quick bloggie! ( feel like I always say that!! XD)

Anyways, i'm really glad you all enjoyed my meme, it appears that as days go by I keep getting into gal!! It just can't be helped, it so cute, maybe I did not like it before because I was overweight, and when you don't feel good on the outside it reflects on how you dress. i became so t-shirt and jeansy in college after being so fashionable in jr and sr yr of high school. i'm not saying that looks matter or if you do feel overweight to not dress fashionably, i just think its a personal thing. But now I feel much better--- I gained 30lbs through college after being rather small! I'm losing so much weight and getting a healthier BMI, I was at 26.2 which is considered overweight, but now I'm at 23.9 which is healthy!!! My goal is 20.8! so wish my continual luck, I'm almost sure I'll get there by Panda's Bday (june!) My eating habits are great, its just the lack of exercise because I'm just so busy! But you have to find ways like walking or biking to class! (which I do) and just say NO to elevators!! lol

but I digress....

this saturday my mommy and me spent the whole day together since i'm going back to my apartment tomorrow morning. We did a lot of errands for her business, but we obviously found time to shop.

I only bought 2 shirts and A LOT OF UNDIES, cuz I needed to retire so items...heh heh (tmi?) I don't have any pics but there's this outfit snap...

I got that plaid shirt this weekend, because again i needed to retire some old plaid and lots of my clothes no longer fit! I'm waiting to buy when I get to my goal but I hate looking sloppy. I decided to buy things a little snug too because in a few weeks it should fit perfectly. :D I love it, it's so western gal meets free people!

plaid-i denno

long tank-uniqlo

jeans-old navy

bronze cowboy boots-charlotte russe

I also stopped by charlotte russe (on a mission to find mini cowboy boots!!) and tried on these jumpers, both size small, both cute!

florals are a must this season!

i look like a inmate!! DX lawls

But I decided not to get them, I thought they were buy one get one but it was for shorts, (then why did they put the sign about the jumpers!!) Oh well, they weren't exactly what I wanted, so I'm not too mad haha!)

anyways, I've been loving the cher/free people look so much this spring, that I can't stop rocking this hair style!

what I wore on my date friday (shirt F21)

do you like do you like, people keep asking me if I'm wearing a wig when it's my real hair!! what up wit dat?! The braid part is made of an old weave haha, it doesn't match at all! I need to make a black one, or just get one-- they are pretty cheap!

anyway friends, it's time for me to go to bed! I'll tell you about how the rest of my spring break went later, it was lots of fun with family, and of course, Panda <3

hugs

oh ps! almost forgot!! check out sara mari's giveaway!! full of bath time goodies!! yay for giveaways!!

I can't believe i got sick...AGAIN..

I had strep two weeks ago, and then BANG like a thief in the night I get the common cold, which isn't as sickening as it is just pesty...

I have been spending a lot of time online, but i haven't done anything really to blog about. Although going online does help with a list of things I want to save for. I like saving for things, and finding new ways to save....here are some things that have caught my eye O_O (illustrated just for you by me..tee hee, you can google the real deal, i thought this was more fun!)

ME WANTY:

this super cute sakura tumbler from starbucks. I'm there all the time, i used to be their slave but now I just give them all my money versus them paying me and then me giving them all my money. Isn't it the cutest....?

This Alice in wonderland make up set by Paul and Joe Sistah...

Some Jill Stuart Make would be nicey! (especially from Japan, I found this site that sells Japanese make to america, yays!)

THIS EFFIN SHIRT! GOOD GRIEF I EFFIN WANT THIS EFFIN SHIRT!
Some new oxfords, my silver ones are dying (which i ruined playing football pretending to be a girl I'm not to impress a boy when i broke up with panda for that brief time and one of the biggest regrets of my life and i always will be reminded with my busted silver Urban oxfords!!), even though I saw them in Mini! tee hee!

A boater (can can)...duh...

and I also wanted to leave you with this video from Kiko's blog. Its a cher movie, and its love!!!

Thats all for today, me sick, me sleepy now...me go away...
