Money Saver

Last week my friend & I were walking around the city before we met up with our friend for dinner and stopped by Anthropologie.  When we entered, we saw some accessories and I immediately fell in love with the first two headbands that are featured below :)  I would have purchased both of them but I've been doing my best to save my money for many reasons, especially in this economy.  

I love how the first headband is named as "Bow Chiffon Headband" when it's made out of polyester and they're charging $38!  I really want it though HAHA!  The second one is $28 and the other two are $38.  I would love to have a shopping spree at Anthropologie, `sigh someday.  Gosh, I am a sucker for cute accessories, especially if it has a bow on it. :P

Here is another reason why I have been saving my money:

The MANHATTAN VINTAGE SHOW is coming up this Friday & Saturday!!!  Being the vintage junkie I am, I am so excited and have been saving enough money so I can shop till I drop :) I'm pumped because I plan to shop when the doors open exactly at 1pm and I've never been able to do that, EVER!  If you are interested in going to the show, print this invitation above to save $5 off the admission price and click on the link for further details.  I hope you fellow vintage lovers get to shop at this wonderful event, maybe you'll even see me. :)

Atlantic City Trip

My boyfriend uploaded pictures from our trip to Atlantic City and here they are as I promised:

  • Vintage Red Wool Dress (given to me by my dear sister :] )
  • Black Tights, Black Payless Patent Peep Toe Wedges
  • Black Patent Vintage Clutch, Vintage Cocktail Ring, "Chanel" earrings & vintage bow hair comb featured in the picture below



My boyfriend was nice to pose for my blog in his outfit :P  I know he's wearing a vintage tie, button down shirt, cardigan (given to him as a gift from one of our friends), I gave him those jeans for Christmas & his shoes.. well I have no idea where he got those from LOL

Here's a better view of my vintage cocktail ring & my delicious midori sour cocktail ;)

My boyfriend winking at me & being cute as always with his cocktail :)

I thought the bar looked nice at the Continental restaurant at night.

Szechuan Shoe String Fries with spicy mustard sauce.  We ordered this as an appetizer because my brother told me it was good.  However, I forgot he told me this could feed a party of 7 people or more HAHAHA!  So basically, the waiter was walking to us with these fries which could probably be the same size as my head & boyfriend's head combined!  We had to bring the rest back to the hotel & finished the rest the next night HAHA!

My boyfriend's dish:  Seared tuna with mushroom risotto (so yummy!)

Pardon the way my dish looks LOL I started eating my dish almost halfway and realized I forgot to take a picture of it.  It's more appetizing than the way it looks HAHA!  I ordered steak with wasabi mashed potatoes, & bok choy.  


We took a picture together when we came back from dinner & browsing through the mall.
Thank you for a lovely trip Pat.  I love you.  :)

April showers..

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
I just started using my polyvore account again.  I had so much fun creating this simple outfit with a nice pop of color.  When it starts to get warmer, I want to purchase a yellow cardigan to go with my orange beaded necklace.  I know spring is here, but it's still cold.  Hopefully, it will get warmer.

However, yesterday, the weather was beautiful and a bit chilly.  The flowers are starting to bloom and I took some pictures of my mother's flowers in the garden.  Only these purple flowers and the daffodils are starting to bloom.  Aren't these so pretty?




I have pictures from my road trip and pictures of my most recent outfit with my boyfriend, but it's on his camera and he hasn't uploaded the pictures yet.  So stay tuned until I upload them :)
