Mall haul!

I went to the mall today. In search of a shirt to go with my black velvet skirt for the first day of school. I think I found a good one, I still have to try it with the skirt. Its ivory with black lace. I also have a purple shirt. But, I bought other stuff that I don't need!


I bought two things here.
Fishnet Gloves (black) and this Spider Bracelet (From the halloween section). Its a sad, sad day for hot topic when Claire's has more pairs of black lace gloves and fishnets than it does. Granted, they were mainly little tiny children sizes (I do not have 8 year old hands), but still.



The closing sale FINALLY got good. 50% off. I got the third Emily The Strange book, and Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. Both of which I've been wanting. I like Shannon Hale, I read The Goose Girl and Enna Burning, and I need to go to the library and get the next in the series. My mom also got a book with the first two Nancy Drew books ever written, and I got a book of shipwrecks, mysteries and monsters of the Great Lakes (of MI)



I bought three scented burning oils. I use them to put in coconut oil (A few drops won't hurt you, and it smells nicer than perfume.)
I got: Sandlewood and Ginger, Fire Lily and Amber, and Vanilla and Tonka Bean.


For a while now, I didn't like Lush. I thought it was overpriced, and smelled bad. Then I actually went into the store for more than 40 seconds. It was rather interesting, and not as expensive as I thought. And what's a few more dollars when it comes to nice skin? I got
Breath of Fresh Air toner, which I already love.
T Tree Toner Tab, 'cause it was cheap.
Herbalism Facial Cleanser, because my face cleaner is drying my skin and not really helping anyway. And it smelled herby.
I also got some samples of fresh face masks, which aren't listed on the website. They have no preservitives (and need to be kept in the fridge) and come in a bunch of different kinds. I got Cupcake (Smells like chocolate and the girl working there suggested it) and I got my mom BB Seaweed, which has seaweed and rose. I haven't used mine yet, but I'll get my mom's opinion of hers. She says it "Feels pretty good" (Very extensive review) and her face looks clean. She also loves the scent (Real roses.)


My outfit today:
White and black striped shirt
Black bloomers
Purple tights
Boots
Short sleeve crochet cardigan

I decided to wear two colors other than black today, because my mother was doing the frustrated "You need to wear something other than black!" thing again. Sigh. But I did like the tights with the bloomers, and I got two compliments on them.

Oh, and I forgot about the newest episode of Doctor Who! Its online now! MWAHAHAHAHA! Imma go watch it now.

Going to Salvation Army tomorrow

And while I am at Sally's, I will be searching for stuff to fit my desired look. What I want it to say...

I sail a pirate ship across the River Styx, and spend my free time having tea parties in graveyards. Oh, and escape to the forest to live amongst the fairies (FAIRIES ARE REAL!!!)

Do I actually do those? Nope. I hate boats and graveyards are too creepy (It would be kind of hard to enjoy tea when YOU ARE STANDING OVER DEAD PEOPLE.) but I do like the gothic pirate look, as well as pretty tea party dresses, but one just seems a wee bit more practical for when I actual have to do stuff. The fairy one might be true. That's for you to decide.

Now, pictures!

All pictures found on google.

Arrrrrgh, I gots me some loot.

(Yes, that was pirate talk.)

Hello! Today, I went shopping. Some good finds. Let me show you. Er, should I explain the pirate talk? I got a cool scarf I'm wearing around my head. I feel like a pirate. Arrgh.
Its more pink in real life. Don't you just love the irony of pink skulls?

Now, on to the stuff I got.

Thrift store- Sadly, not much. Not my favorite thrift store, all the clothes are old and ugly. But I did get some pretty scarves.


Walmart- This was yesterday, but I got an umbrella/parasol. My mom refuses to let me sew lace or bows onto it because its "Weird".

Black with white trim :)


"Dollar" Store (the quotes are because like nothing costs a dollar, more like the $20 store but they say its a dollar store)- This shirt. So epic.

Simply Fashion (Some annoying trendy store)- OMG THEY SELL BLOOMERS! In different colors! I got a pair of dark, almost denim-like ones. Can't get a good pic, but this shows the decorations and color. (I also got a skirt with the same fabric)



Sally Beauty- Nail polish (black), nail base coat, black eyeliner, pewter and black eyeshadows.


Well, thats it for now. I'm exhausted. (Woke up at 7 am in the summer, went to a therapy appointment then to my mom's physical therapy, that included a ton of waiting. And then shopping and going out to lunch because the chiropractor closes his offices at insane hours and we still needed to go and didn't want to go home)
