I'm re-obsessed with bird tattoos!

They're so pretty (': I want!

Sound familiar? It was around this time, last year, when I was obsessed with Chanel's temporary bird tattoos! http://thatswhatcindysaid.blogspot.com/2010/11/chanels-temporary-tattoos.html

Cute Etsy stuff + FREE SHIPPING?!

Yes, you heard me. There are some sellers on Etsy that give free shipping to the United States. *Cheers* I think most of them offer free or very cheap shipping to international buyers as well. *Claps* There are several sellers I've found that make the cutest accessories. Here are a few:

[BY THE WAY, I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH ANY OF THESE ITEMS/SELLERS, I'M JUST SORT OF ADVERTISING FOR THEM BECAUSE I THINK THEY DESERVE IT. THEIR STUFF IS JUST SHO CUTE, AND FREE SHIPPING? HELLO!]

[and also, "WHY ARE THESE THINGS SO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN FOREVER 21?" you may ask. Well, keep in mind that products of Forever 21 are made of crap from a factory of under-paid workers, and although the products may be just as cute, they probably fall apart within a year. Things sold on Etsy are hand-made by people who spent real time to make them, and thus are better than F21. Plus, they are one-of-a-kind, so get 'em fast before they're gone!]

Chanel's temporary tattoos

I'm quite shocked that I haven't blogged about this yet. I found out about Chanel's line of temporary tattoos (55 for $75) about 5 months ago from the June/July issue of Seventeen Magazine (Ashley Greene wore one on the cover photo).

Why am I surprised I didn't blog about this waay back then? BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH THEM SINCE I FIRST SAW THEM! Through them, I have realized that I am a HUGE fan of bird/swallow tattoos! and none of them are as classy as the Chanel one.

But to be honest, even if I had the money to buy them, I'm not sure I would want to since they are only temporary. You'd think that since they're from Chanel, they would be, I don't know, not so temporary? But temporary tattoos are temporary tattoos, and they forever will be, because I heard that they wash off in one shower. )=

I guess I'll just have to admire them in pictures.

Polaroids + "Outfit of the Day"

I am falling back in love with my Polaroid camera and Polaroid pictures! The top right picture is my favorite because of the angle/lighting/weird focus, except my legs got cut off by my stool >:O. So I tried to re-create it in my second picture (the top left one) but it just didn't come out the same. I took the last picture (bottom one) because I had one more polaroid film left in the camera.

ANYWAY, this really isn't my Outfit of the Day, it's my Outfit of Another Day. It's a business-y and semi-formal but at the same time casual look. Good for: interviews or when I am an ambassador. (We have this ambassador program at school for when colleges come to visit and a student of our school is the ambassador for them. Ambassadors for our school are required to dress nicely when their assigned colleges come to visit.)

What I'm wearing:

Top: 

• off-white Marc by Marc Jacobs ruffle button-up short-sleeved cotton blouse (sorry, I don't know the exact name!) with 

• a dark blue Hollister ruffle tank underneath

(except in dark blue)

Bottom:

• dark blue high-waisted band skirt by Miley Cyrus and Max Azria (from the clearance section at Walmart for $3!)

Hair: Half up (criss-crossing bobby pins in the back)

Accessories:

• Purple feather earrings from my friend Vivian!
• Wood peace-sign necklace (that I wear almost everyday because it makes me feel more secure) from my friend Michelle!

stuffed jeans and big fat smelly, nose-wrinkling white flowers

i stuffed my size 12-slim jeans from justice with pajamas and old undershirts to stretch them out...

my drawing of the flowers our noisy zoo-sounding guests brought to us way back on may 18th. yes, i have pretty accurate memory. photographic, i believe. better than my photographer-sister's.
