This last week I ended up splurging on my self on accident. I was trying to lay down for a nap before a work meeting (that I ultimately forgot to go to… ) and some how ended up in Little Tokyo getting sushi for dinner. I dressed up and felt all the better because I caught two colds this month that really put me out of commission.  It was all sniffles and really bad coughing that, unfortunately, I had to deal with at work. Thankfully, in the medical setting you get access to all kinds of facial respirators so I kept my germs to myself for the most part. 

I pulled out my old GLW wig (the very first one I bought) and it really worked out for this outfit. I feel like maybe it was refreshing to work the old in with the new.  After we got down there, we had sushi and walked around for a bit. In the end, I ended up walking into Fairytale Boutique and looking around for stuff to pine for.  Some how I managed to walk away with a dream dress set. Well, almost the set. I need to find the socks and matching tote bag, but I got the matching headbow included.  I’m debating on altering it or just waiting to see how this year turns out for me. (Yeah, well, I can still have hope that I will work harder this year…)

Woo hoo! I found the collared navy blue version of Merry Making Party. This dress is unshirred and therefore, a serious commitment. Either to making the best alteration of my life, or of  actually completing a project I started for once.  We’ll have to wait and see.

I bought the Tokimeki necklace to match the outfit since I don’t really own any brand jewelry. It was a nice addition to my wardrobe and is actually pretty cute to wear even casually.  After all that, I still ended up in Kinokuniya looking for the achachumu cat bag mook. Miki at Fairytale Boutique had just sold the last one (she actually was walking out with it as I was walking in) to someone else before I got to get one. It’s ok though, I found mine for a bit cheaper so it was a mini-win.

Okay, this bag is easily my most favorite bag (next to my poor Juicy bag which is long gone now) . I love it so much and the postcard book that came with it is just adorable. I don’t think I’d ever be able to bring myself to use them up.  I love the super sturdy box it came in too. As a box hoarder, I now have a super cute kitty box that I never have to throw away because I can totally use it to store crap in.

Last weekend ended up being slightly productive. My sister was spending some time up with her friend in San Fran so we got together with her roomies and had a double date at their favorite sushi place.

I was really pleased with how my makeup turned out, so I asked Richard to take some makeup shots. I think the only thing I could change is that I don’t think I did a good job highlighting and need to find something besides a matte powder to try and light up my face a teensy bit more. 

Yay! I finally worked the super cute bunny-girl clip that Lemontee111 gave me, -in exchange for a ride- into an outfit! It works really well I think! More so on the lapels of a vest like this than in my hair.   I’m hoping to work it into other outfits soon as well. The vest was bought on a whim. I saw it at Forever21 on a display and I thought, “If I leave without that, I am gonna shank someone.”  In the end, I called Richard and he worked out for me to buy it. I’m really glad too because it has been a corner stone addition to my wardrobe and adds a very chic, modern twist to an otherwise classical theme. 

Werkin’ the super cute bow boots that Richard got me for Christmas. I love them to death and they don’t hurt my feet other than getting the occasional hotspot.   They match a couple of my coords so you’re going to be seeing these a lot more.

The sushi place was really good and well priced for what we got. One plate a piece was more than filling because the chefs were way more than generous in their servings and cuts of fish.  I can’t wait to go back and try more things on the menu!

That ain’t even a macro-shot. 

Even though I didn’t order this, I ended up stealing several pieces. It actually ended up being my favorite thing that night!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Since I didn’t get to do anything this time around, I’m just going to add some photos of presents I forgot to post in my last post. Some of them were late gifts due to shipping, but I’m grateful for them nonetheless!

Super Sonico has become more and more of an obsession for me. Richard bought me this Super Sonico dakimakura of a figure  I own of her. It’s so cute and soft. I never thought I’d have a “waifu” pillow!

3D poster of Super Sonico. This was a really unexpected gift. I knew it was a poster, but the 3D effect on it is really cool and I can’t wait to put it up on my wall.

These boots were on the top of my wishlist for Christmas. They’re from LovelyShoes.net and I couldn’t be happier.

When I saw these boots while I was wishlisting, I nearly died. I’m so happy Richard bought them for me. They match most of my outfits and they were just too cute to pass up. They’re actually knee high boots, but I don’t have any boot trees to support the stockings so they’re all droopy.

Both pairs of shoes are surprisingly comfortable and I’m putting together pictures to do a review on them.

My iPad mini case finally came in the mail! Thank you, Crystal! It’s so incognito! Course, if you look closely, the spine says “book Book volume XIL” You can tell it’s a terrible give away that it’s not really a book at all. XIL isn’t even a number!

I am really loving the iPad mini too. It’s actually made me forget that I even have an iPhone from time to time. I use it for everything.

I used to think tablets were really unpractical but then holy crap, as soon as I got one, I realized just how practical they really are. Isn’t that funny how that works?

Welp, I’m off to take Connor for a walk, I’m taking the Couch to 5K challenge and hoping I can dedicate myself to actually finishing it! Good luck on all your resolutions and may 2013 bring you much joy and prosperity!
