...my birthday!!  man another year coming up on age (and so quickly again).  for the next days and into next week i'll be dedicating the posts to "birthday" themed subjects like cake, parties, outfits, and gift wrapping and packaging. 

of course you know i had to compile a birthday list of what i'm dreaming (drooling is the truth) about.

♥ happy tuesday.

pure awesome.  J.Crew's Ballet Boutique is just that... A W E S O M E.  it's like looking at all the candy you wish you could fit into a bag at the candy store.  i'd be happy just with one pair...or maybe two or three.


♥ happy tuesday

i am a big hoarder when it comes to buying cool and unique office supplies, stationary, craft supplies, decorations, packaging...um i think there's more to this list.  so i am so happy to find new sites/places that sell these things that i love.

mochi things.com. this site reminds me so much of this korean store that i used to visit in high school. i can remember this store having all these cute and different types of paper, stationary, pens and bags.  kinda feels like i went to another country and i'm viewing thru their eyes of creativity for things we think to just be ordinary. 

jetpens.com.  found this site via Pugly Pixel's tutorial and i'm itching to buy that envelope template.  the site mostly carries pens but has great scrapbooking supplies too.

i'm eyeing on the round bag and those cute notebooks...ah honestly i want it all.


♥ happy thursday.

when most of us search the web or if you're like me having a pinterest addiction, we tend to "want" all the stuff we see, but everything seems to be so ridiculous in price and just not in our budget.  so i love it when the designers, brands and trends we love have great buys worth the pennies.  

here's a "good deal, good buy" shopping list for you...

1.   ASOS floral denim.  with this trend being so hot right now, this is an awesome deal compared to other brands that can cost you hundreds.

2.   TOMS cordones.  i love TOMS shoes.  the one above is the second pair i own and they don't disappoint.  but the best part is that the pair you buy gives back to a child that doesn't have shoes of their own...best buy to date.

3.  false eyelashes.  you can really buy these anywhere ( i get mine at Target and/or Walmart).  i personally like wearing false lashes compared to mascara (no smearing) and they are resuable.

4.  Marc by Marc Jacobs Turnlock stretch bracelet.  this is a lovely accessory to any outfit that won't break your wallet, but you'll be wearing the most coveted fashion designer name. 

5.  Baggu bags.  you all know by now my loyalty to this bag, it really is a lifesaver and the best quality.

6.  Target brand tumbler and caraf.  currently this is on sale for under ten dollars....yes, please!

7.  Target brand paper print tape.  you can't buy this on line, but they are in-stores with Target's new line of office supplies....four rolls for four dollars (most tapes are four dollars each) good deal!


just wanted to share that you can enjoy the latest designers, brands and trends for good buys...you just have to keep your eyes open for them.


♥ happy wednesday.
