Gilt ft. Hunter Boots !

Yippeee! I decided to make more holes in my pockets or wallets...for Hunter Boots!!!

Why the heck not? I am graduating and this will be a nice present for myself!!! I swear I used that line before on something else. There's a high chance I did.

Before I made up my mind on whether I should get it, I scored the internet trying to figure out whether Hunter boots are true to size. It's non-refundable for Christ's sake. But it's not a bad deal!

According to various forums and Yahoo! answer page, reviewers have claimed that it is half a size bigger, but it'll fit snug if you were to wear it with thick socks. Which is what I intend to do. 

*smug*

Anyway, I found this sale on Gilt.com. It's been a while since I've browsed on it, and luckily for me - it featured something I had actually secretly wanted. 

Don't you hate estimated delivery? You still don't truly know when it'll arrive at your door step.

Black Friday: Super Impulsive Buys

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! (Belated)

I am grateful for my family, boyfriend, and friends that stuck by me for so many years. To the ones that never gave up and to the ones that cared enough to send me text msgs (lol?). Thanks!

So without further ado....

Black Friday wasn't amazing.

There weren't any good sales...heck it just felt like any other day except it is super crowded and the stores are open longer.

I didn't walk into every store known to exist. I was pretty content with browsing through the mall. My mother and I ended up at Short Hills mall at NJ. The place is huge and filled with high end brand name retailers. Damn! I knew my I was going to make a dent in my wallet.

How big of a dent?

Guys, my wallet exploded into smithereens! It doesn't exist anymore!!!

Picture quality sucks ass because I did not lugged my camera along. Sorry, but hey it's clear enough. Mmmehh!

Not to mention, I already swiped my card to buy a new laptop since my MacBook Pros failed on me. It can't handle all my gaming I've done this month.

I've burned through the 15" and now the 13".

Hence, I gave up. No more MacBooks for me.

So presenting my new beauty...

Alienware M17x!

Sporting a nice sleek exterior, this baby is packing with two ATI radeon video cards, processor speed up 3.7ghz, 8g memory, and with 1tb storage.

Baby, you make me proud.

In the end, I may have wreck my wallet and maxed out come cards here and there...I am happy! May not get fed well this month, but I am happy!

Kate Spade: Pasadena Neda

I haven't really bought anything in a long long time, mainly because I wanted to challenge myself and prove to friends and family that I can do it! That I have more self-control than what many would have predicted. Truthfully...many people are correct about my impulses to spend with my non-existent income.  Oh well, I did try and I didn't buy anything for 1 - 2 months. *Shrugs* I consider that pretty successful!

ANYWAYS, let's continue with my latest package that arrived at my door step today! Hehe :D

Isn't the wrapping paper nice?!

 This is Kate Spade's Pasadena Neda in navy; a large continental zip-around wallet. I know it looks more black than navy, I just couldn't get it to show. It has :

• 12 credit card slots, 3 billfolds, and zipper change pocket; exterior slide pocket

• 4.0''h x 7.6''w x 0.8''d

Not exactly sure what I'm going to do with 12 credit card slots because I don't have that many cards to swipe with. But wouldn't that be nice?

Here's a picture of the interior.

As seen, the lining are made of leather and it's peachy. The polka dots are fabric. 

I found this wallet on Ebay where it was featuring a sale on Kate Spade products. The seller is the company itself and many of the products available were fairly priced. Its original price was $198.00, but it was being sold for $79.00, 60% off of retail.

To me, that's a freaken steal. I haven't bought a wallet in three years! I have no clue how that slipped my mind. The wallet I've been using all these years is from Burberry and so far, no scratches, no rips, nada. Nothing! And with its signature pattern, it matches with everything. Hence, I never bothered looking.

Three years is a long time and when I found this beauty, heck why not? 

So, without further ado...I'm going to try to fit as many cards in it as possible. Just to be fancy!

Sorry!

Oh dear! Sorry for the lack of posts lately - so much for consistency right?

What the heck is going on...

• This is my last semester in college so things are a bit hectic, also I am lazy as hell so I am basically scrambling to get things done ahead of deadline.
• Just recently registered to take the GRE on Nov. 28th 
• Exams, exams, and more exams
• Papers!
• Applying for Grad school...

Shit man, there's so much to do and so little time. 

So sorry for not posting... 

But despite all this work, I bought many things that I want to post up and share.

Skulltini has arrived!

About two weeks ago, I raved and drooled over the Skulltini and I promised myself I won't impulsively splurge [post]. Hence, I waited one week to think about it... Screw that, it arrived at my place a week later via. shipping. Yes, I NEED this shoe.

Isn't the shoe box ....interesting?

Dun dun dun.... ! *suspenseful background music*

Jeffrey Campbell's Skulltini in Black/Gold

What a beauty!

I will die happy. It doesn't matter how I die. Kill me now if you must. My life is complete!

Unbeknownst to many (I really don't know how), the little gold studs are actually golden skulls. Turns out some people whom I've shown the pictures to originally thought the studs are spikes. Meh, I don't really like the spike trend that's arising. It's cute, but some designers are going to the extreme with it. Seriously, those spikes can hurt people!

Small golden skulls embedded into leather ~ 

So far, I've only worn it once. I am terribly afraid of wearing it. Isn't that odd? I wanted it, I needed it, and when I finally own it - I become fearful of it. 

I simply don't want tor ruin it. I am afraid I'll trip somewhere and scuff it. 

And you know what? I did scuff it! A part of me died when I found out. So for now, my Skulltini will take a break from exposure.

The short story of Skulltini's life span will end here.

I am really stupid...

One day I woke up and noticed that my hair was excessively greasy. I can probably make fried egg with the amount of grease sitting on my head. Sounds disgusting, no? No need to worry, I won't degrade myself THAT much to eating my own oil production things...?

Anyway...I was running late and I did not have time to jump into the shower and make myself look presentable. Nor did I dare leave the house looking the way I did.

I know, I know...I should have purchased dry shampoo sooner for emergencies like this, but I forgot or I was too lazy to! Then, I had a really stupid idea. It was brilliant at the time because I was desperate. Now that I think back, oh my god. I am absolutely shameless. I am a shameless woman.

My "brilliant" idea at the time was to use my gerbil's dust bath. Over time, gerbil's fur become greasy and they take dust baths to clean themselves up. I figured since it has done no harm to my gerbil's fur then why not human hair?

I placed myself in front of a large mirror and start pouring gerbil dust on my head. So embarrassing, I am so glad I didn't take any pictures of that day. Honestly, it did do the trick. My hair was significantly not greasy oily looking. It was nice and sheen! I was actually quite proud of myself for being so clever as I leave the front door for school.

The problem arises during school where gerbil dusts begin to fall off my head and on to my face. FML! I had dusty face the whole day! My hair is looking awesome but my face was a mess! I came home quite miserable as everyone was giving me quizzical looks and many whispers behind my back.

Disastrous.

Okay, I will buy dry shampoo now and never embarrass myself to this extreme.

MUST HAVE: Jeffrey Campbell's Skulltini

Once upon a time, I glazed my eyes over the Jeffrey Campbell's Skulltini and I sprouted wings just like the ones in the Red Bull ads. There are no words that I can possibly express the raging emotions charging over my body. I must have this!

What prevented me is its price tag of a whopping $180.  A quick google search found that Solestruck.com sells it for $160.  It's still pricey ~ what the hell?!

My wings broke off and I was left alone, spiraling downwards from sole heaven.

I am exaggerating now, but the remnants of Skulltini was engraved into my mind. I can't eat, sleep, or draw on my face without thinking about the shoe. I am being tortured!

I even asked my friends for advice, yay or nay? I got a lot of yay's, but the nay's asked me to be reasonable. Do I really need this shoe? No...I have a lot of shoes. But none of them look like the Skulltini. So frustrating!

Another nayer's told me they saw a replica of Skulltini at Aldo's for $80. Oh boy, I can laugh about this. I am not a fan of Aldo. They DO have pretty shoes, but they're are shitty quality and their price tag are just not worth it. I know because I own some.

I can't help but be very meticulous when purchasing shoes. I love my shoes for its quality, appearance, and duration. I love them even more when they're made of leather or suede. I can't help but be so anal about their composition.

Jeffrey Campbell's Skulltini is made of leather, except for the soles. Leather is durable and is a huge investment for this beauty to last a while.

So I've decided that I am going wait for a week and if I am still ripping my hair out because my feet have yet to slip into this fine beauty, then I will splurge on it. I will eat ramen for a week if it means my feet can be embodied by Skulltini.

I read the above statement over again and I realize how shameful I've become for shoes..

I blame Skulltini.
