Mommy.and.Me

Right now, I am currently on a weekend out with my Mom. We decided to go and get a hotel room for two nights and we have been shopping like crazy. I tired to be conservative and not make her buy too much for me. She is paying for my first month of rent when I move in my apartment at the end of this month. Yes! I got an apartment! =] However, today we came across some nice deals. I mean niceeeeeeee!
I usually shop for the winter and fall during the summer. You will discover some good finds. Especially when the school year is near, a lot of stores will be having sales to clear room for new merchandise. Like I got a peacoat for the low today! I was so hyped. The real excitement was a New York & Co. They were having at storewide 70% markdown sale. Yes. My mom and I spent around 3 hours. We checked out and before we got out the store we found more things and made a second purchase. I wish I had some photos of all my purchases. That would took some time...maybe later.
Besides all that. It feels really good to spend time with my mom. I realzed that we have really become closer over the past few years. I use to think we were sooo different. Its crazy how much you come to know as you get older.

Summer.Purchases

Although I'm broke...
Even, I have managed to get a few things this summer. =]
You will find me with that purple purse, everyday. Haha. I broke the strap on those shoes the first day I wore them.

Heels and I don't get along well sometimes. =\ I plan to doctor them with a hot glue gun cause I like them so much.
I have yet to use the $3 clutch. Corrina, Corrina is a classic plus it was only $5. The book is Marked. Its a decent read so far. I love the nail polishes, even though I have only worn the Pink Promenade. I also been practicing make designs with the white. Fun. =]
These are 3 of my fav. tops I have acquired. I have yet to wear the middle one. Clearly. Haha. I have not an occasion or bottoms to pair with it. Any suggestions?

Let.Go.&.Shop

    I feel a bit better emotionally, thank you to those posted the "get well"s. Haha. I mean, there is still things on the brain, but I find it to be a little useless to be the only one stressing issues. I mean, if the other person is not making an effort to resolve the issue, I refuse to just stand under the rain cloud. If they are willing to say "bye", I got to suck it up and say "bye" and walk away. I know this may make no sense, but yeah... Haha. So to cure all my troubles, I've been taking doses of Otis and The Delfonics. Oldies are the best! =]

    Anywho, despite a downfall, here and there, I really enjoyed my weekend home. In two weeks I will be back and I'm excited about that. I hope to get plenty of rest. As for this go-round, I got some little shopping in...

Everything but the jeans [Its Fashion] are from Rue 21. 

The shirts were $5 each, the jeans were $11. 

Thats actually the back side of the shirt at the left.

Yeah, one earring is missing, but it was on sale and I will only wear one at a time anyway.

My mom told me I needed to wear more heels so my arch won't drop. =\ 

These were just $10, so why not?

Yeah, so shopping was delightful. 

Whoa.Weekend

The Weekend Has Whooshed By!!!

    It has been pretty busy for the past few days. Starting Friday, I was going off of 2 hours of sleep, I had work the night before. Anywho, my roomies and I headed to Applebee's. They have a special where two people can share an appetizer and have an entree each for just $20. Yesss! So we got boneless buffalo wings and I got my steak, as usual. I was full for the rest of the day. 

    After eating, I decided to stop at the regular shops: Target, Ross, TJ Maxx. I usually find nifty little deals. I was not disappointed. First stop, Target. We were just browsing, then we came across this wonderful wall of e.l.f. products and I remember Twinnie mentioning it in her blog. To our delight, almost all the items were a $1 each. We all grabbed a basket and went to town! Next, bras! I always look out for some on the low. I found this sexy one for just $4.24 and another cute bra for $4.98. I was happy. Lastly, I found this nice long-sleeve shirt for just $3.24 and some socks.

Target purchases excluding socks and bras.

Elf products: eye-widener, eyeliner-black, sharpener, blotting sheets, 

eye-shadow combo-ivy, mascara-clear, nail polish-clear, lip gloss-pink lemonade

    We decided to skip Ross and headed to TJ Maxx. We soon got lost in the many choices of wallets. I needed a new one because the clasp on my old one was broken and my change kept falling out. Soon, I came across this:

I love it! It fits me, believe it or not.

     Saturday, I slept most of the day away. Once I finally woke up, I headed to my Unc-R's to sped time with the fam. My sis, two cousins, and I soon went to go get a pedicure. It was the second pedicure of my life. I got black, like last time, I think it is a trend I will keep. I like the design, on the toe, I could have done without the gem-thingys. I would post a pic, but I'm too self-conscious for that. Haha. Sadly, I had to leave and go to work. Eh. Once I got off, Mr. N texted. So that brighten up my night. I missed him, but I didn't want to nag him about coming. Luckily, he texted me first saying he missed me. Guess he assumed I was sleep, when I texted back he decided to come on over. 

     Right now, I'm about to get ready and head to my Unc's again. Do some laundry, start on homework, and enjoy being with the fam. Post laterrr.

P.S. Haha. I has pressed 'publish' early. Hehe. Thats why it was cut short. Sorry. =]

Bag.Lady

It's 7 O'clock In The Morning...

   And I'm up, wide awake. No, I didn't take a lack-nap earlier. I didn't knock out before 2AM either. After about a good 15-20 minutes, I decided posting may be my best bet in passing time. Anywho, Saturday. My sis and I decided to hit up Ross and T.J,Maxx. I usually try to find a cute dress or wallet in Ross. No such luck. T.J.Maxx is my source for the big bags I like to carry and accessories as well. I did find a nice tote bag in there for the low. $5.99 =]

I decided to put George in the shot too. Haha.

I think I'm use this a much need bag for my books.

   My sis and I then went to eat. I wanted to go back to this italian place, but nooo she wanted to "try something new." I don't usually like to risk money when it comes to food, I know how picky I am. She was paying so, it didn't take much persuasion. Plus, she said if I didn't like it, she'll by me something to-go at the Italian place.

   I had a hard time choosing. I just wanted to go next door and get my spaghetti. The lady who works there is like "Try it! You'll like it!" We get our food. Mine was eh, okay. It wasn't like totally disgusting, but it it got worst as I went on. My sister was kind of tearing hers up so I kept eating. I stopped when she stopped. She looked at me and from the look on my face said, "I'll go buy you some spaghetti." We got up to leave and the lady asks how we liked it. My sis was like, "It was great!" I said, "It was...okay." 

    Once the door closed behind us my sis says, "That was horrible! I couldn't eat anymore of that." I asked, "Why did you keep eating it?! I thought you liked it?! I kept eating it cause you were." She replies, "I kept eating cause YOU were!" *bursts of laughter* She likes for me to try new things. I love that about her. Plus, as long as I got my spaghetti, I was happy.

Victoria's Secret...

   I had printed out my free gift coupon that I got from Twinnie's blog. I let my roommates in on it. After I got back from the outing with my sis, four of us headed to V. Secret, print-outs in tow. Haha. I felt a little bad cause the cashier was like, "I bet one of you told the rest about this." *Womp, guilty* I got the lime green bag. I painted on mine when I got back to my dorm, just to make it unique to me. Hehe.

Some may say I should of left it alone, but I couldn't resist.

Click for larger view.

   Plus, I bought some Very Sexy perfume. I love how it lasts allllll day! Its so hard to find a fragrance that lasts. With that purchase I got a "What's Your Secret Worth?" card. It can be worth up to $500! Haha. Hey if not, it will at least be worth $10 of my next purchase. I must not forget to use it before May 10th!

   Okay I think I can go back to sleep now. Catch a good two hours before class. Mr. N is coming today, hopefully. =] I miss him, quite a lot. Post laterrr.

Its.Friday.Night

Just Got Paid, Its Friday Night...
...and I treated myself goooood.
    So basically, my Friday started out to be pretty chilled, considering I slept til like 2PM. I was up late tripping out with the roomies and friends. Got of love 'em, but by 5AM, I told them I'll would "see them on the flip side."
    Anywho, my roommate asked if I wanted to go to the mall. Why yes, yes I did! =] I just got paid and I was in the mood to browse around. I don't really like to look if I don't have the money, it can get quite depressing. Haha. =\ So once we head into the mall, the first store that caught our eye was LVL X. Especially since it had the "Everything Must Go" and "All Items: $5, $10, or $15". Who could resist?! Not I, the bargain shopper. It mostly had club wear type things, but a few casual wears. I don't get jazzy very often, but I happen to do the most damage in that store.

Yeah, I'm attempting to model these. 

They didn't look good from a flatten shot.

$7 and $9

$5 each

All of this, including a $15 metallic coat which didn't picture well, came up to about $50. 

   Next, we headed in 5-7-9, no luck. However, Charlotte Russe was having a sale on their bras! Just $5. I was so hyped, sadly, they didn't have my size. No love for the itty-bitty-committee. =[ *sigh* But I did find a nice black clutch for cheap.

$6.99, plus tax

It has a chain attachment, but I doubt I will use it.

    We checked out Target, but no luck there. Lastly, we hit up Rainbow. I headed right to the shoe section. I needed some black boots. Lucky for me, they had a "buy one, get one half off" deal, cause I also found some nice gray boots. The black boots were already marked down, so basically I paid $15 for each pair. Yes! Now my boot collection is basically complete. Thank the Heavens they were closing, cause I would have browsed the clothes and probably did more damage.

Oh the joy of completion!

    Lastly, we made a stop at Zaxby's. Our stomachs were growling! That ends the shopping trip. All-in-all, I think I did pretty well. I got a lot of items and I still have plenty of my pay check left. So it gets an "A" for the day.
