shopping.

Lately, I've been so addicted to online shopping. I love it because it's so convenient! I can do it in the comfort of my home and in my pajamas! Also, there are websites out there where you can search for online coupons and get a better deal for them! Sometimes they'll have codes for free shipping or 30% off. It's actually pretty awesome! Since I'm still a little iffy about buying clothes online, I decided to start off with items that will definitely fit me. Haha. =) Here are some of the things I've bought recently....

I was determined to start working out again so what would one need? Running shoes!
One of the websites that I follow daily is RueLaLa. It's a site that sell designer items for a discounted price. One day they were featuring Puma on the site and got these bad boys for $30. The price that RueLala was actually selling them for was $40 (original price is about $50), but the site gives you $10 credit for every friend that signs up under your name and makes a purchase. It's pretty awesome.

Classes were then about to start and I decided I needed a new bag for a new semester.
Beyond the Rack (another great site with discounted designer items) was having a sale on BCBGeneration handbags. I saw this navy blue leather convertible messenger bag and immediately fell in love with it. I knew I had to have it for my (hopefully) last semester of college! I got it for $60 (originally $98) and I really love it. It's so convenient too because you can use it as a everyday bag with the chain strap or as a school bag with the longer strap. I've abandoned my Kate Spade bag and have used this everyday for the past month or so. I wonder what my next bag will be... Gucci? How about Louis Vuitton? Haha. A girl can dream right?

Look at how cute they are!!
I've been looking for some brown boots since last fall and a year later I've found a cute one! Haha. Again, off one of those websites (ideeli), I got them for $109 (originally $129.95). The best part about these boots are that they fit my super duper muscular calves! Haha. It was definitely a risk buying these online, but I just had to and you know what? They fit! Love love love it!

I know it's not winter yet and fall just began (Happy 1st Day of Autumn btw!!)...but I knew I had to get one now before stores stop having the good sales on those winter coats. Boy, was I right. Found this gorgeous brown Michael Kors coat on sale for $135 (originally $225) on the Macy's
website. I then immediately checked my handy coupon site RetailMeNot and saw that they had a coupon code for 20% off at Macy's!! So the price then came out to be $108 plus tax (ugh...I hate NY tax! Haha!). When I was about to finalize my purchase, I saw that I had spent over $100 and Macy's decided to be oh so generous and give me free shipping as well! It was such a great feeling knowing I've saved money because of that site. Thank you RetailMeNot!!! I am DEFINITELY using you again for future purchases!!

And that concludes my online shopping adventure.... well at least for now. Haha! I've actually had my eye on these black laceless Keds for a while now so I might make a purchase soon, but who knows! Maybe I'll wait until Christmas and maybe...just maybe someone who loves me dearly will buy it for me. =P Goodnight all!

short and sweet.

Hey! Guess who's back?! Haha.

I know I promised a somewhat big update, but I am currently battling a cold so it won't be as good as I said it would be. However, I'm glad to say that I'm at the end stages and want nothing more but to get rid of this phlegm at the back of my throat!! Sorry, I know...TOO MUCH INFORMATION, but it's seriously killing me. Haha. All I've been doing is coughing up a storm! It's a big disruption in class and even at work! I'm just hoping it will be gone by next week. =)

So today, well I should say yesterday since it's past midnight, was my sister Pam's birthday!

HAPPY 25TH? BIRTHDAY!!

You like how I put a question mark there? I know she will definitely read this entry and if I put her actual age, she would kill me and I will never be able to blog again. Haha. Anyway, we took her out to dinner at her favorite sushi restaurant called Akira with family and close friends. I'm not a big sushi fan, but I do like that place. Their Shrimp Tempura and Chicken Teriyaki is really good! Oh I can't forget about their fried ice cream! Oh man...if you haven't tried fried ice cream, well put it on your bucket list! It is to die for! I wish I was able to eat more than I did today if it wasn't for this stupid sore throat! I hope you had a good time Pamela! If not, we have tomorrow...Beer Garden! =D I love you!!

Well, I should get some rest now. I'm going to lay down and try to sleep while I have Man V. Food in the background. That's the show I'm currently obsessing over. It's pretty awesome. Definitely inspiring me to travel across the country and try all these different food challenges...not like I would be able to finish any of them. Have you seen the sizes of some of the things he has to eat? I love food, but I don't know if I love it that much. Haha. Well, goodnight all!

update.

Hi all!

Yes, I have been MIA for quite a while, but have no fear! An update is near!

Oh gosh...I totally sounded like a complete dork. Haha!

Well I just wanted to quickly let you guys know that I have not neglected you. Classes started a couple weeks ago and that has been taking up some of my time, but like I said, I will update soon! =)
