FINANCE//: [coin star | gift cards]

i was doing laundry last weekend and as i used our last quarter up i thought, "we have a whole lot of change that isn't quarters, what am i suppose to do with all that other change?" and then a light bulb when off... ding ding ding COIN STAR!

there's a tiny catch if you want coins for cash.. there's a $0.086 for every dollar fee. unless you want to turn you change into a gift card from their selected stores there's no fee, like starbucks (annie i thought of you!). click here if you'd like to see the other places you can get gift cards from. 

TECHNOLOGY//: [camera | phone]

those darn japanese and their nifty electronics. they're coming out the a flip phone and a 8.1 mega pixel camera all in one.. oh oh and video recorder. they also make phones that let you purchase things using the cell phone to scan it. it was only a matter of time until they came up with this. it's a sweet idea if you take lots of photos. maybe i would take lots of photos if my camera was this convenient to carry around.

PERSONAL//: [wardrobe | edit]

a few months ago i decided to go thru my entire wardrobe so that i could edit out all the pieces of clothing that i don't wear, wouldn't wear and shouldn't wear again. this past sunday i decided to go thru my wardrobe once again and edit even more. i feel like a second edit is always a good thing because your first edit you're more attached to things and are more hesitant to let go of things. at the second edit you've gotten use to letting things go and had time to rethink about what to keep and what to let go. 

i actually feel good to let things go and make more room for new and better clothing. ha! the weird thing tho, out of all the clothes i just edited out of my closet, it still feels like i have no room. *sigh*

next thing i have to do is edit out my accessories, especially the old tennis shoes. gotta make room for my fabulous new heels. ha!

MUST HAVE//: [dream | boots]

i know i've posted this boots before, which are my dream boots. not because who they're made by, but because they're seamless, classic, elegant and so much more. 

every girl out there knows that the PERFECT pair of boots are one of the hardest things to find and every girl out there has their own vision of what they're perfect boot is and every since i can remember i've always wanted one with rounded toes and NO seam. 

i've always dreamt about this boot and now i have FINALLY found them. yesterday was the first time i actually tried them on. it was like they were made especially for me. obviously i can't tell if they're long term comfortable but from what i could tell by just trying them on, my toes weren't cramped, the arch wasn't strained... from what i could tell i probably could walk a while in them.  

i was with my friend krista at the time and she's normally the one telling me that i'm crazy for even thinking about spending that type of money... but even when she saw them on me she said "i'm not even going to lie, they look HOT on you! you should get them." and to be completely honest if they had my size i probably would've got them no questions asked. (they only had my size in the suede) 

i had a OMFG moment when i zipped up these boots. OMFG!

MOBILE//: [rock band | store]

Who doesn't love Rock Band?! I was having dinner with my friend Krista on Thursday night at Koji's at hollywood and highland. After dinner, a little shopping we headed to starbucks and across the way was a Rock Band store. It was filled with 4 stations so that people can test the game out but it was crazy hot in there. My theory is they did that so
people don't stay long playing the games buy it made me not even wanna stay there long looking at the different product.

But what I did see was a drum set with 3 drum pads and 2 symbols just like the one gutiar heroes just released. If you happen to me in the area and you're a rock band fan you should go check it out.

MOBILE//: [music | tatum jones]

Wednesday night my friends performed at Room 5 lounge. Some of you
might know them as At Last from the first season of the tv show
America's Got Talent.

DJay left the group to head back to home to Dallas and the three that are left hans, justin and mike are now going by Tatum jones.

They recently do my night club sets which I haven't really been in the night club mood for a while now. So when they finally performed at a nice chill lounge I thought I'd go support.

They're crazy good and I suggest to go see them perform whenever possible and pick up their cd at the shows.

FASHION//: [polyvore | style set #4]

BEAUTY//: [fragrance | perfume]

when it comes to fragrances i by far like the fruity smell more than the flowery scent. in 2003 mina introduced me to my FAVORITE perfume thus far. (versus time for pleasure by versace, shown left.)

top notes are apricot and wild strawberry; middles notes are musk and vanilla

i don't have much left, so I'm trying to ration what i have left.. but soon i should just suck it up and find it some where online and order a ton of it. haha

a new fragrance i wanna smell/try is the new scent by Lanvin called Jeanne. i saw it in i think the October issue of the harper bazar mag. which i don't think has hit stores yet. 

top notes are blackberry, citrus and pear; middle notes are peony, freesia and raspberry; base notes are sandalwood, amber and musk.

i just hope the musk doesnt over power the fruity scents. 

we'll have to wait and see.. or should i say smell ^_^

INTERIOR//: [dresser | drawers]

last month while i was visiting my parents up in sacramento, my mom and i went shopping at stopped off at pottery barn kids. while we were there i found the CUTEST dresser.

if i wasn't married and if i wouldn't feel bad about having our bedroom be girlie i would so get this dresser. 

PERSONAL//: [laundry]
