RiRi Loves M.A.C. ❤ 'RiRi Boy' and 'Heaux' Your perfect fall lip colors!

The perfect purple shade and the perfect berry shade. I'm obsessed. I was originally only going to buy Heaux, but I'm glad I went for RiRi Boy too.

Both are matte, and feel lightweight on. I've heard talk of them being really drying, but I haven't had that problem at all.

The best part is, both look good with my current hair color. (A mix of strawberry blond with pink.) A few of my lipsticks have looked a little off since I dyed my hair, but these are just perfect.

Beautiful, universally flattering shades! I can't wait for the rest of the collection release in October!

These are sold out, but you may be able to find them on Ebay. Worth it. 

Happy shopping.

August Arcade Haul from Aomori! Part 1 ❤

We kinda cleaned up this weekend at the arcade. Bear, his friend (who I shall name Swan-san), and I made the 2 hour drive to our favorite arcade in Aomori. We actually went there to scope out a new arcade we had heard of that was supposed to be pretty good. Turns out it was okay, but all the games were really expensive to play. (For all purposes, we'll call that arcade Expensive Arcade.)

I won this first one at the Expensive Arcade. It was kind of an accident. I was going for a One Piece figure and ended up with this Natsume's Book of Friends figure instead. I don't watch this anime, but it's on my list. Natori needs a happy home, so he goes in my store. ^_^

Natori Shuuichi 

This Super Sonico I didn't win, I found it at a figure store in Aomori. The local figure store sells her for a LOT more than I bought her for. And I love Super Sonico, so I couldn't pass her up.

Thrift Haul!

I haven't found very much thrifting lately...but I did score a few new things this weekend.

I love that jacket. It doesn't look like much, but it will be so cute on. The collar is adorable.

And of course as soon as I saw the pink floral skirt I scooped it up.

The gray plaid skirt is nice and stretchy and cozy. Would be kick ass with some heavy winter leggings, boots and an oversized sweater.

The skirt section never lets me down here.

I'll have a HUGE arcade post coming up soon! We traveled to Aomori again this weekend, and we came back with a few really good anime figures and plushes.

Until then, Happy Shopping!

Send Me to New York Fashion Week

Another Entry in Polyvore's 'Send me to Fashion Week' contest. This one is by far my favorite. It's very much my style. This contest has really made me push the limits of what I thought I could do in my sets. That's just another reason I love Polyvore. It's a great place to play and design just as you'd like, but lets you challenge yourself with contests. It's actually made me a better designer and artist. Thanks Polyvore, for being so damn cool.

If you are fashion, art, and design obsessed, you need a Polyvore. Even if you think you can't put a set together, I challenge you to try. You never know what you're capable of until you try. It's really social and positive, so no worries about looking like you don't know what you're doing. And you'll already have a built in follower! Just message me!

If you don't have an account, go check it out! I have links in the side bar, or go to my profile.

Happy Shopping! (And creating)

Family and Tokyo!

Even though being in Japan has been so awesome, and a wonderful adventure, I've gotten a little homesick lately. 

So, family decided to come visit me! AJ will be here in September. I can't wait to show her around and have a shopping partner! (Not that Bear isn't super patient with me, he's always been great about tagging along on my thrifting sprees.) It will just be nice to do some pro shopping. Because when the girls in my family go shopping...we're on another level. 

She'll be flying into Tokyo, so we'll take the train to meet her. We're all Tokyo bound in September! I'll have several lists of things to post I'm sure, so stay tuned! 

As always, Happy shopping!

Japan? But what will you wear?

A long time ago, when the discussion of going to Japan first came up, a rather unpleasant friend of Bear's said something along the lines of, "Oh honey, no offense, but you'll never be able to go shopping there. Everything is so tiny. Japanese girls are quite thin."

I won't even get started on that. But I will say this. Women everywhere come in all shapes and sizes, and each should be celebrated. No fat hating. No skinny bashing. 

Even now, a well meaning friend of Bear's warned me not to go shopping in Sendai. "Everything there is tiny. Forget it. It's not made for us." 

Well. It may not be. But I love Japanese fashion. And I will wear it. Because they DO make clothes from XXS-LL and beyond. I've seen it. I find things all the time at the thrift shop that fit me just fine. 

So there. 

If you're a curvy girl, know that there will be awesome stuff in my store that could fit you. If your a thin girl, I got your back too.

Body Positivity. ✚ 

Happy Shopping.

Tiny, Tiny Sweets!

I made these last night from a few clay kits I picked up at the stationary store. I almost didn't buy them. So glad I did! 

I think it's not too bad for my first attempt! Thinking of making a cell phone case. I can't find anything kawaii for an Galaxy S4...

It's the little things.

Went to the arcade. You'll hear that an astoundingly frequent amount of times if you follow this blog. We like the arcade. It's like gambling, but you almost always win. It's the satisfying "CLUNK" of whatever you won hitting the bottom of the machine next to the door.

I won my first figure for myself last night. (I'm always winning them for Bear.) I think she's awesome.

She's Super Sonico. And if you want to know more about her, you can check the article 'Who is Super Sonico?'

She's has some hips going on, and she has pink hair. So I admire her.

Happy Shopping. ❤
