Boyfriend is forcing me to go to Seattle this long weekend— yes FORCING. I didn’t want to shop but he was so insistent so I felt bad and couldn’t say no. 
I have no idea what I want to buy though because I already did some major credit card damage this week BUT I managed to make a small list of things I’m hoping to get this weekend (can’t go home empty-handed!).
- Trouser suit because I absolutely LOVE Rihanna’s look at the Met ball.
Rihanna has invented a new approach to evening style.
- André Leon Talley - Black thigh-high socks (image via Dinh Dinh L on Lookbook.nu).
- Lady Gaga’s Bow Tie Headband. Lady Gaga has one, Pam got one so I want one too!!
- Brisingr by Christopher Paolini (US
/Canada
). Been patiently waiting for book 3 of The Inheritance Cycle to come out on paperback to complete my collection but I think I’m just going to pick up the hardcover because I can’t wait any longer.
- Marie-Antoinette and the Last Garden at Versailles (US
/Canada
). I’ve been eyeing this book for ages!
- Rainboots. Hopefully ones similar to Plueys (via Urbane Bloc). I don’t need them but I just want them because they’re too cute! It’s perfect for Vancouver weather even though I rarely go out in the rain because I’m either at the office or in my car.
- Statement jewelry. I found great posts in my reader from The Capitol Fashionista and Trend de la Crème with some amazing and affordable statement jewelry. I want more! Maybe I’ll try find some supplies as well because I want to start make my own.
ONLY 7?! *hangs head in shame*

I’ve always had a thing for the thigh-high’s. They had actually been rather popular over here for a good few months (a long time by Japan’s standards) but I haven’t been seeing them as often these days.

thanks so much for the shout out!

Looks like the whole world is going gaga over… Lady Gaga. I lover her ribbon hairstyle, it’s sweet that you’re getting one too
can’t wait to see how you look like. Anyway, take it that your trip to Seattle is a window shopping trip – while getting done with your small little shopping list, try to resist every attempt to summon the power of your credit card 
heheh! Take care, and have a great trip!

Lol yeah I’m jumping on the trend bandwagon. I loveeee Lady Gaga’s style. She’s so daring and such a trend-setter. I haven’t seen many girls in Vancouver doing it yet so it’s all good.
Shopping trips across the border is always a killer to me… can never resist!!

Hey Katy,
Guess what?! I’m watching Boys Before Flowers right now. I stayed up until 7 am this morning watching! holy crap it’s so addictive… I’m only on episode 6!! Hehehe. <3 HOT GUYS!
omg, LOL i use to be a k-drama fanatic in jr high… I don’t even remember all the ones I’ve watched.. My absolute favorite has to be STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN !!! have you seen it?! I LOVE sad dramas. I don’t know why LOL. My dad even cried watching that! hahaha. and the Goong Series.. ^-^ Reminds me of Boys Before Flowers.. rich guy, dumb poor girl kind of story line. All-In is another good one but sorta old school.. Hehe.
I remember I tried to self-learn korean too in high school. Reading is pretty easy, they’re alphabet is easy to learn. But vocab and sentence structure was so confusing.. I gave up after learning the basic phrases! Haha. How’s the learning coming along for you?

I use to watch a lot too but I think BBF is one of my favorites right now. I also loved MY GIRL and that cooking one because the main character in it was soo adorable. I can’t remember much of the rest though which is a good thing because that means I can re-watch them!
You can read Korean? Hmm I don’t even know how to begin!? Should I be learning the alphabet first?

I hope it is.. well I’m not too picky with my books anyway. I’M SO EXCITED TO READ IT!!! I can’t believe I was able to even wait this long even though it was for nothing because I’m going to end up getting the hardcover anyway.

I’m trying to cut back on buying make up.. I realize I barely wear any except for those special occasions. =S
REPLY
I love how thigh highs look. I went through this phase after Clueless came out when I wore them all the freaking time. Guess I never got over them. Lol. Have a good time in Seattle!!

I don’t like to show my legs that much so I want to get them to complete some outfits. They’ll look super cute I think.

We all want stuff! I know I want so much stuff that it’s not even funny! Have fun in Seattle! At least you can get out of your city/town for a bit.
