Catching Up

Hullo All!

I believe you all know that I have a lot of catching up (blogging up?) to do thanks to NaNoWriMo. 
(ノ_ _)ノ

So it looks like I'll be posting frequently during this first part of December! I definitely think that's a good thing. With the holidays coming up, there are more things to see and do--so I can't wait!

We were going to pick up my new phone so that people can start contacting me again! I have to be honest, I was (and still am) enjoying the novelty of being disconnected (at least, mobile-wise. I'm obviously still active on the Internet when I'm at home), but it feels good that I can new go around the city on my own since I have something to contact my parents with. :)

But we also went around to look for winterwear (and post-halloween sales)! It's already getting colder by the day. And since we were bound for a trip soon for Thanksgiving, we had to stop by for some things for the trip.

Adding some color into my wardrobe! I love the darker colors of autumn, but I try to add more reds and oranges so I don't look too doom and gloom. (`ε´)

I really terrible at getting other details of my outfit. Oh the woes of being your own "model"/"photographer."

But check out these feather details! I'm not entirely sure if I've shared this top before, but I'm not big into large feather prints. This is my first and I guess I couldn't stay away from the soft fabric or these colors!

I wasn't a big fan of my mom's orangey-yellow scarf either a few years ago, but I totally gravitate towards it now!

Shades are a gray area for me. I can never really confidently say whether I look good in them or not. "They never seem to fit my nose right"--that's something that Flynn Rider might say.

Yep, I'm ever the classy one.

Mandatory "oh, I didn't see you there because of my shades" photo. 
(I'm such a loser. *・_・)ノ⌒*

Admittedly, I didn't get to take a lot of photos while shopping. I'm never good at restraining myself from being engrossed in shopping! 

I did, however, spot this adorable Christmas tree! While and purple with hints of gold and blue? You got me!

Hello cute little purple birdie! Can I take you and your tree home?

One of the reasons why I shop. :)) I'm a cheap, cheap vulture.

Rainbow-colored candy canes!

Trivia: candy-canes are my go-to gift for Christmas when it comes to acquaintances like teachers, other classmates that I'm not too close with, orgmates. I believe everyone should get a gift for Christmas (from me) and so how can I go wrong with a sweet, minty treat? :)

There are pastel-colored ones, mother of all candies!

I believe this is my sole photo from when I was shopping for boots. We went into DSW and Payless. Alas, DSW was way beyond my budget, so Payless it was!


Up next is an Instagram mega post! If you want to follow me, you can! :)

Tuttah,

Adapting + Halloween Party City

It has been an interesting two weeks! That being said, we've done some adapting in this new environment; which includes the weather situation. 

And so, I finally get to try some Layering!!!



Time to head out!

Black and Gray theme for today! The checkered scarf and black slouchy bag I nicked from my mom's closet. Shh!


Trying out a pair of new gray Lower East Side booties my mom got for me! I was actually hesitant because I was scared they'd make me look shorter than I already am! :))

This Harry Potter-inspired Dealthy Hallows logo shirt was a gem I found on District Lines last year! Unfortunately, I don't know if this is still online, so I'm glad I got it when I did!


My black Oxygen cardigan I've had since 2010, but my Xhilaration jeggings are a new acquisition here! I like them so much that I bought three pairs!


A common sight out in the neighborhood street! There is a man that stands in the corner and feeds them.

We headed into the city again. This is the first time I saw Madison Square Garden this close! I always remember Godzilla (and Godzilla babies) running around in that location (in the movie)!

Before Hurricane Sandy hit, people were still running around preparing for Halloween! This was where my mom got her costume for an office party!

 Having a party? Party place is the place to go! It's huge and they have all sorts of items in every color for all your party needs!


You can even have sports-related parties if you have a favorite team!

Gift wrappers in every color! I just wanted them all--especially the pastel colored ones!



Rainbow pastel paper lanterns! I waaaant!!!

Making some Hello Kitty + Baking friends jealous! :P

A cute message for your party-goers!




Even the napkins are to die for! I want all the designs! My future home shall have you all some day!

But the reason we came to Party City was of the costumes!
And costumes we did find! Wigs anyone? They have an entire wall full of them!

Costumes for every decade! I wonder what 2000's costumes will look like?

A very Halloween-y theme! They even have Pirates, Futuristic, etc! So many!

They have other themes too like Harry Potter, Toy Story, Zorro, etc! Seeing all of this, it's making me realize that we could have used a Party City in the Philippines for our Advertising class presentations!



Okay, I'm guilty. I actually watched the first episode of Monster High. It's based on a set of new Mattel Dolls. Being the Barbie fan that I was (and am), I was curious about what it was about. The dolls themselves are cute.


And because it's election season here in the US, guess who dropped by Party City for his campaign?


Of course Halloween wouldn't have been complete without candy! Guess what, Party City sells them too!

After Party City, we went off to pick up a few more things.


Pumpkin patches on the street! Interesting touch for Halloween! The entirety of 34th Street has them!

I picked up this post card for a friend! :)



I bought this cute pair of fuzzy socks at the Dollar Store for some warmth when I'm inside the house!


They match my cute pink fuzzy piggy slippers!

And, finally, at the grocery store, my brother spotted these!


 Can't decide which you want? Now you don't need to worry!

 That got me hungry! I think I'll pick up a Golden Oreo now! ;P
