Your Items, In Store

Although these are old pictures, I still wanted to share. Isn't it crazy when you see stuff you own in stores when you're not expecting to? It's one thing to have made a recent purchase and walk back into the store wearing it, but after months or years is so unexpected.

Actually, I tend to stay away from stores where I am wearing a recent purchase for fear that it'll look as though I have stolen it right off the rack and walked out, but that's just being a bit too paranoid... Right?

Haha, anyways, the pair you see me wearing in the picture I bought back in February of 2012. I bought it while on a trip to New Orleans. I had only brought one pair of shoes and did not realize how uncomfortable they were for walking around a lot. I went into Payless to get a replacement and surprisingly, this pair was extremely comfortable Once I saw this pair again in October of that year, it really surprised me. It was pretty cool to see the difference of constantly wearing it for 9 months to new and unused. I still own these shoes today and they are still going pretty strong. If you ever seen these shoes in store at Payless, I would highly recommend them. They're very good especially for the price!

{Adventures} Dapper Day Fall 2014

Photo Taken by the Dapper Day Staff Person

So, I went to Disneyland's Fall Dapper Day this year with these dapper fellows. It was already exciting to be able to go to the happiest place on earth, but to see some awesomely dressed people everywhere made it even more exciting. I thought it'd be appropriate to post this for Halloween since we're Disney bounding and that's as close as I'm getting to having a costume to post.

We got to see more of the Grand Californian because the convention was held there and behind me you can see that they had many lovely things for sale and such dapper people everywhere. They also had a Photo Booth where that first picture was taken.  Before entering the room, there was so much going on in the hallway as well. Lots of booth everywhere to tempt you out of your money. I wasn't able to save enough money for shopping unfortunately. I did walk away with that cool dapper day pin I immediately put on after purchasing.

These pictures were all taken on our first day there, September 12. We spent the whole day at California Adventures so that we'd have easy access to the Grand Californian. We did the sketch studio and got a fashion illustration of ourselves. I bought this shirt too because the girl on it looks exactly like the fashion illustration of me. 

Outfit Rundown:

Can you guess all three disney bounds? 

Prize for whoever can guess all three!!!

{Foods} Macarons

I have been obsessed with eating Macarons! I wasn't interested the first time I heard of them because they just seemed too darned pricey! The first ones I tried were from Cocola Bakery and it was a boxed set that my boyfriend at the time purchased for me to try. I liked them, but I did not feel that they justified the price! When I got into Lolita fashion, many lolitas seemed to LOVE them, and I suppose it affected me and I wanted to give them another shoot. I bought an individual piece from Cocola and it was a bigger size than the set type. It was pretty good, but I never decided to buy anymore because the price just turned me off too much. Then, I saw a review on Trader Joe macarons and I immediately had to try them! I bought a box and I fell in love. I actually liked them better than Cocola's somehow. My boyfriend says I have cheap taste in food, but I don't know if that's true... Maybe his taste it too expensive? Anyways, it was a pack of 12 with 6 chocolate and 6 vanilla. Found in TJ's freezer section with all the desserts. They are priced at about $4 to $5

I believe. Which is way better than $2 for an individual piece. Since then, I have noticed that Trader Joe's has come out with more flavors, but they seem to be seasonal. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

Here is a picture of their Pumpkin flavor during the Thanksgiving season.

It was alright, I definitely went crazy with pumpkin flavor this past Thanksgiving season and bought a ton! I only bought one box that season as it was only alright, I'd rather stick to the Chocolate/Vanilla box. I don't think this should deter you from trying it next Thanksgiving season if they come out again, especially if you enjoy Pumpkin flavor. I didn't get a picture, but during the Holiday season, TJ's came out with peppermint flavor! It was delicious!!! 3 exclamation points! I bought 3 boxes that season. I would have bought more had I more money and if there was more stock! I shared both the Pumpkin and Peppermint flavors with my 5 roommates and we all agreed on the taste!

Since then, I have been craving macarons often and dream of trying Ladurée in Paris. Who's got expensive taste now? For now, I will try whatever I can get my hands on!

**This is actually an old post I found in my drafts box from last year thoughhhh!

What do you think of Macarons?

B.A.I.T Footwear sale on Zulily

Hello all! I just wanted to share an awesome find today! Zulily is a website that sells items for up to 70% off, but their stock is limited and they sell these collections for a limited time. Today I stumbled upon a B.A.I.T Footwear collection that will be ending this Wednesday! If you wanna view/purchase the sale, you have to make an account with Zulily, but it is completely free. And just to mention: I am not associated with Zulily, nor have they contacted me. I just wanted to share this really good sale as these prices are the cheapest I've found to purchase B.A.I.T shoes new!

The shoes pictured in this post are all a part of the sale too! I just recently learned about B.A.I.T footwear a few months ago and have really wanted to try a pair. I don't have one, but I've just heard such great things about their shoes!

If you do want to give Zulily a try, I would really appreciate it if you used my referral link here.

Does anyone else have issues commenting on blogs?

I love reading blog posts! I wish I could comment though to feel more part of the blogging community. I don't have much time to make blog posts for my own blog, but I love reading others. With my lack if time, I usually just view on my cellphone. I rarely try to comment unless I have something to say, which leads to long lengthy comments. So I try to comment of these wonderful posts, but somehow things go wrong. The app decides to close or the box won't let me click elsewhere within the text to edit. When this happens I've already written a paragraph! After I either get to frustrated to re-write my comment and it never sees the light of a computer screen or I write a really short comment that didn't really encompass my old one. 

This happens way too much. Like 98% of the time.

This frustrates me and these awesome people who write these blog posts never know that I exisit and love their blog. 

Been away, but it's okay! Right?

Hi all, obviously haven't been blogging in a while. I've been reading up on blogs though :) Thank you bloggers for all of the great reads! 

I've just been too busy to actually post. I'm currently a soon to be college grad, juggling school, work, and internship. There's also also my social and family life.

I'm pretty happy and content living my life and with the way I blog sporadically. 

I blog because I want to and it isn't always what I want to do. I do wish I could blog more often, but other things definitely take precidence. I definitely take my hat off to all you wonderful bloggers, who regularly post, while juggling life. One day, I hope to blog regularly, but until then I will continue my sporadic blogging schedule.

I just felt like writing this for now, so I'll leave you with a few random pictures I took :)
