If I could be granted a wish, I'd shine in your eye like a jewel

Paired this beautiful Target find/Valentines gift with a Hanes sweatshirt, Delia's purple cords, and White House Black Market heels.
Wore it to Benihanas for dinner with the best and daddy :)

All I Want Is To Shop

There's nothing like the therapy I get from a day trip to my favorite mall. After an arduous week of quarterly exams, my mom and I ventured to one of my favorite shopping spots on Friday since I had no escuela.

I will not lie: I had been saving my money for this much anticipated trip and I had reached about $80 or $90. Unfortunately, only two days later I remain with $13 and a small amount of change. EXCEPT........I made some amazing purchases to show for my drastic drop in cash (and mommy spent some money on me too). They included:

• elastic waist purple plaid skirt from Target (it was on sale for $11 but the girl only charged me $7: my day started off really well)
• top and dress from Anna Sui collaboration with Target
• Haviannas sandals (slightly gray with strap on the heel: a step up from your average flip flops)
• two pairs of shorts from Anthropologie (sailor and paperbag waist)
• cropped plaid pleated trousers from Anthropologie
• one teal pair of morgan style pants from delias
• one purple pair of morgan style corduroy (spelling?) pants from delias

and I believe that's it. I attempted pictures of my findings but they sucked and it's late so I'm not putting any up. Sorry. Oh, and I discovered a description of myself thanks to the Target commercials I keep seeing: FRUGALISTA. Finally I am classified.

So today summer school decided to have mercy on my summer vacay and give me the day off. I took advantage by making it a shopping day with mommy dearest. We went to one of my favorite malls, Boca Town Center (spelling?). I love it because it has stores that we don't have near us: Anthropology, Williams-Sonoma, Delia's, Abercrombie, Nordstrom, etc.

All in all, I think it was a successful trip. Here are the pix of my purchases........




Shirtdress from Anthropologie, Blue Bird Shirting


Yellow, Purple, and Blue T-shirts from Delia's


Sandals from J-Crew


Ruffle T-shirt from J-Crew

Flower Headband from J-Crew

Not pictured is a pair of pearl earrings from Anthropologie. They're in my ears and I was too lazy to take a picture.

The only problem I had today was trying to find something decent at Macy's for $30 (giftcard). Let me tell you, that was no stroll through the park. The problem is that the Juniors section is tacky, but the nicer stuff is too expensive. So even though it was the one place I actually had a giftcard, I left empty-handed.

Oh well. Dad said he would trade me $30 cash for the gift card. Sounds like a good deal.

Before I depart, considering it will soon be July 4th, I would like to inform you of my new iTunes purchases (no shopping day is complete without an iTunes purchase):

• Birthday Sex by Jeremiah (iTunes decided to be smart and put up the version that is actually worth listening to)
• Phantom Limb by The Shins
• So Close, So Far by Hoobastank

Give them a listen :]
