❤Hello Kitty is my best friend❤

Well Hi there~

I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I've been cleaning all day. I'm still working on my room but I thought I'd take a break from that to write a little blog post.

One of my roommates and I went the International Mall in Tampa last Thursday and it was a brillant way to end the last day of classes for the semester. (Minus all my lovely finals coming up this week).
Also random but hey I got an A on my Anthropology final so I'm really happy about that. A's always make me excited. :)
But anyway back to the shopping part. This mall is absolutely amazing and I hope to at least go back twice before I go back to New Jersey and then depart for France. It has so many awesome stores like MAC, Sephora, Zara, Forever21, and so many more.

This post however, is about another store they had that I was previously unaware of! They have their own Sanrio store!!!! Insert extremely pleased face here. I love Hello Kitty and friends and just everything with their faces on. I have a slight problem when it comes to small and cute things and pretty much all of these items fit that bill. I actually forgot to take a photo in front of the store. :( But, seeing as I'll be going back to that mall to get my phone fixed I will be able to go back. That will be good for my happiness but not for my wallet.
It is not a huge store, but it is quite big from what I was expecting. They had so so so much and I was pretty much hyperventilating. Haha, just kidding. I was dying on the inside though. My roommate actually commented that I showed great self control while inside so woot!

Now time for the best part of this post, my Gets. ❤❤❤❤

This is the store bag and it is just so cute I'm not throwing it away. It's actually really big as well. Just look at their cute little faces.❤

FREE POSTER! I don't know if this is normal protocol but my roommate said the saleslady most likely pitied me and gave me some free stuff including this poster. I haven't hung it up yet seeing as I don't know where I'd even put it. I might even give this to my little sister since I know she has lots of room on her walls and it's really cute.

The marshmallows to the left are the other freebies I received! Haha I didn't read the wrappers at all until I popped in the brown one and there was chocolate inside! It was definitely not a normal marshmellow. Also to the right is a stack of post-its! They are a pastel pink, yellow, light blue and purple. I also have a habit of collecting post-its so these were screaming for me to buy them, and who am I to refuse cute things? I have way to many post-its but they are perfect for putting everywhere and making notes so I see no reason why having a lot is a problem. ❤

Next is this cutiepie.❤ I haven't named her/him yet but this is one of the softest plushies I've ever felt and just look at its little face. This was actually the first thing I picked up in the store and I was always pretty set on buying it. I didn't even look at the price tag which was a tiny it of a mistake seeing as this was actually the most expensive thing I bought without realizing. Learn from me guys. I actually would have bought it anyway though. Also attached is ribbon and a chain for connecting it to a phone or key-chain. Any name suggestions?

 

Stationary❤ I still need to find something to use this notebook for but I'm sure I'll find something. I'm actually debating on using it to write out my French and Japanese lessons. I also got three regular colored pens. I got a hot pink, purple, and a dark blue color. 

More pens. Haha
The bottom four are special markers. They have two tips, one is a smaller marker, while the top is more thick and large. The huge one in the middle is one of those pens that have around 7 different color settings. There are lovely to have for when you're taking notes and want to make something stand out, etc.. They are perfect for school so I had to get one. Lastly the one on top is a gold shimmer pen. It's a really cute shade and I just want to use if for everything. My agenda is currently covered in this color since I've outlined the next two weeks using it.

MY NEW TUMBLER. I actually only got this for 7 dollars or something because of a deal they were doing. I did not have one of these cups and everyone else seems to have them and I always sort of wondered why but now I know! They are actually very convenient. I had a choice between 2 and this one was more cute so I chose this one, I've been using it for water (Gotta drink at least 8 glasses a day ;) ) and for when I drink my ice coffee and this new soy drink I've been gulping down lately.
Also another amazing and awesome part of this cup is that it does not contain any BPA. If you do not know what that is, it is a chemical that is included in plastic products that is not very good for you to take into your body. This is a nice little article that explains it a little and gives the hype vs the fact commentary.BPA, Hype versus Fact

Lastly this is the bag that all the stationary came in. Once again it is adorable. It came with a little patch that can be put on clothes or a bag. I might do that since I am trying to learn how to sew at the moment and that could be a nice little project. I hope I don't hurt myself though, that would be a bummer.

But that concludes my gets from the Sanrio store! I did buy some other things but I'll post about them another time. I can't wait to use all my new pens and stickies❤
Also here is their website Hello Kitty and Friend goodness .  They ship worldwide and even have different stores for Europe, Brazil, and China, as well as Taiwan!
I'm so happy with my purchases!
I cannot wait to go back.

Anyone else like cute and adorable items? :) Also how is everyone doing? I know it's finals week for me so I'm a little stressed out but I'm almost finished so I shouldn't complain. :)

Gets! 04/09/2013 and Crazy Morning Adventures!

Hello again everyone!

Happy Wednesday♥......We are so close to Friday and the weekend! I seriously cannot wait until the weekend. I have so much to do and it is all just depressing! College certainly isn't easy, but then again a challenge is great. I think that difficulties are good at times because they really help us grow as people. Hopefully from this year I'll be able to be more organized, and do more things in a timely manner. Anyway! Yesterday was an amazing day. It actually started off terribly though. I slept through all three of my alarms and because of that I missed my classes for the day. And yup you read that right, 3 alarms. Not one, not two, but three. I seriously need to have multiple alarms to get up because this semester I have discovered the "snooze" button. I had actually never used it before and now it will probably lead to my undoing. But thanks to that I was able to tag along with my roommates to go to Chick-fil-A! They serve free coffee in the morning with any purchase apparently so that was amazing. Then we hung out for a couple hours (completely taking over my one roommates bed as seen in these embarrassing photos :P) bwahahaa.
Eventually though, my other roommate and I went shopping and I got some really cute and awesome things. I spent too much money though....but anyway!
Firstly I went shoe shopping at this cute little shoe store whose name I cannot recall at the moment but I absolutely love this store. I got one of my favorite pairs of shoes from there and the quality is quite nice and the prices are not bad. :)  I finally own a pair of brown shoes! I was in desperate need of some type of shoe that was brown since the more I put outfits together the more I realized that they are essential. They look really light in the photo but in reality they are a darker brown. Very bright flash, I guess! But they are adorable and are actually quite comfy. Next I got a really cute pair of black shoes with a small wedge. They even have a bow on the side. They are great because I can wear them to work, on campus, out with friends, and with both dressy and casual outfits! I wanted them in red too, but they didn't have my size. :( I'm still upset about that. Just imagine... They were gorgeous. I'm totally a shoe girl in case you couldn't already tell. What are your favorite kinds of shoes? Heels, wedges, flats, converse?

 

Next we hopped over to Rue21 and Ross! In Rue21 I found a Hello Kitty tank that has leopard on it, and I could not leave it behind at the store. It's everything I love all in one tank! The yellow shirt is from Ross, and it is so cute. It's a nice yellow, which is great for spring and summer since it's also a very light shirt. The back is all lace so I'd suggest a camisole, or something underneath!

 These shorts I also got from Ross. I like the blue ones a lot. When I tried them on I realized that the only short I owned were in that same old jean color and texture. These blue ones are really soft and it also came with a cute brown belt. I love when clothing items come with belts, and little extras like that. Makes spending money a little better since it's like you're paying for one item and actually getting two. Next I got these stylish high waisted black shorts! These were an instant love. They feel so soft, and they are perfect for going out and that is something I was looking for since it's going to be too hot to wear pants all the time. Gotta love Florida weather.

 I also got a cute brown, meshy shirt that has white polka dots on them. It has a collar which is a double plus since I've been obsessed with them all season.

I also got this dress from Rue21 and it is fabulous and was only 10 dollars. :)

 I also got this sock things..They were only 3 bucks and they are practical for some of my shoes. I got one in black and nude.

Now for the makeup load.......I think I went a wee bit overboard. Haha. BUT, In my defense I had a 30 dollar giftcard that I had to use. lol
I got another one of my Nexxus hairsprays. This time, however, I'm trying a different type/ The one I've been using is supposed to help combat Frizz and I really love it. It's the best hairspray I've ever used and I might actually make a post on that by itself. Anyway this one is supposed to have a strong hold, and also not have that crunchy feeling which I hope works.

I got two nail polishes! A dark purple, and a starry midnight color.
I got two eye shimmers which I've been wanting to try out for the longest time. They help your eyes appear larger and give them a cute shimmer.
Then I bought 3 lipsticks. An ELF red matte color, and then Milani #17 PlumRose color, and lastly I wanted to try out the color whispers so I grabbed #55, One size fits pearl. It's a really light pink and super adorable. They are all such nice colors and they go on quite nice so I'm excited to wear them. .

Wheeeeeew♥. That is a lot and now as I'm blogging I think I can hear my bank crying. Haha just kidding, just kidding. But actually everything I got was at a good price and I didn't really pay that much money per item. I got some seriously amazing deals so I'm very content with this shopping trip.

Well has anyone gone shopping recently? What did you buy? :)

Seeya later everyone! I'm off to go to class, and then I'm going to sushi! ♥
