Weekend Outfits and Purchases

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 | 65 Comments

I hate when I get so busy. Then I end up with a bunch of random photos and topics I want to write about and super long entries always equal DAUNTING TASK TO READ. But it’s OK, don’t feel pressure to read it all. I’m not a psycho who thinks you need to touch on every topic I write about in order to leave a comment, haahaa.

500 Days of Summer
So I finally got to see 500 Days of Summer! Definitely the best movie I’ve seen all summer, though it’s not fair to say since those were all “blockbusters” and I’m an indie-flick sort of girl. It wasn’t perfect, but it was worth seeing. In the sea of “men are dogs” movies it’s nice to have one shining star so gracefully demonstrate how women, too, are pretty screwed up & heartless at times. Wanting a little bit of everything while refusing to sacrifice anything. My favorite part had to be the expectations vs. reality scene. I play scenarios over & over in my head so this really appealed to me.

MY OUTFIT~



Dress: FREE PEOPLE
Tank: FOREVER 21
Leggings: H&M
Necklace: GIFTS

We had planned to go out and grab a nice dinner but that was ruined. We headed over to the Tako Grill in Bethesda. We had been there before. It’s a little pricey for Japanese food. Only this time… we had an uninvited guest at out table… A BIG GROSS BUG! A silverfish to be exact. DISGUSTING!!! Those are the type of bugs that when you see one, there’s ALWAYS more. It’s not like a beetle that could have gotten carried in on someone’s clothing. No, this is a bug that shows the tale-tale signs of poor sanitation. So we left, of course! I won’t be going back, ever.

Moving on~~



Non-fat Frozen Yogurt Find
The next night I stumbled upon a local frozen non-fat yogurt shop! It’s new! I was SOOOOO happy because the places I’ve been visiting for this low calorie treat were in neighboring cities like Sweet Greens in Bethesda. . So I couldn’t really justify getting it all the time or on a whim. But I’ve been addicted to this stuff since my diet started

It’s called Caliyogurt and so far it’s actually my favorite of all non-fat yogurt places I’ve tried! They have the most flavors too all at the same calorie amount as original. 25 calories an ounce (except chocolate, it’s 30 calories an ounce.) 4 ounces = quite a large serving of yogurt!!! Plus it’s self-serve. You can taste test and mix flavors and choose from dozens of toppings yourself. Then you just pay by weight.
The flavors at the moment are:

Original:The normal tart flavor
Chocolate:Pretty damn good!
Green Tea:This is nice. A mild matcha flavor.
Honeydew:Too sweet, I didn’t like it.
Mango:FANTASTIC and sweet but not overwhelming.
Blackberry:My favorite. Very tart but quite flavorful!

I’ve gone there twice this weekend, haahaa. GOOD-BYE KRISPY KREME! That’s where I used to run to when my sweet tooth came calling.

It has the best atmosphere too & seating arrangement.
Sections are closed off like cubicles so it’s semi-private plus there are open tables too.

I always go for blueberries and raspberries as toppings but this place has more like kiwis and mangoes!


Shopping Saturday
After trying the free sample months ago I finally bought Boscia’s Amino-AG Eye Treatment.

I had that 10% coupon for Sephora that they’re giving out with their new “V.I.B.” campaign.

I’ve had dark circles under my eyes since childhood. I thank my Italian genes for this. Very mobster-like circles indeed. I could never really cover them up well. When I used thick cover-up makeup it would only make it WORSE. So usually I’d put some highlighter on them instead. It helped, especially in photos (haahaa,) but they were always still there.

This Boscia stuff is amazing though! Literally the next morning I could tell a difference. A BIG difference. I remember freaking out when using the sample. It was the first time in my life my dark circles were ever nearly gone! So I broke down and bought the $40 full bottle :good:

Mike was skeptical with my purchase being it so pricey, but the next day he was surprised at how different I looked! YAY! See, this stuff works so well even GUYS NOTICE! And guys don’t notice ANYTHING!

Now my dark circles are much lighter and when I put on this BareVitamins Eye Rev-er Upper I got from Yesstyle my eyes look much brighter and less tired than before when only using a highlighter or cover make.

I’ll try to find some good befores & afters. There’s a lot of photos I never post because my dark circles are SO BAD! haahaahaa

I also bought the “Sin” version of my favorite Eyeshadow Primer from Urban Decay. I like that it’s automatic glam color PLUS a primer. But it does feel slightly heavier on the lids than the original primer mix. I’ll probably go back to using the original after I’m through with the “Sin” bottle. However I NEVER wear eyeshadow without this stuff. I wish it existed when I was in High School & college!

Visited Free People while out. LOVE their Fall lineup though only a few pieces were in the store so far. didn’t try much on. A good way to keep yourself from trying on massive clothing is to wear something you hate taking on & off! I wore overalls plus leggings! LOL Too many layers to fret with in order to try on clothes, haahaa. Yea, I’m THAT lazy.

Overalls: YESSTYLE
Top: FREE PEOPLE
Leggings: H&M

Weeeeeee single mega curls, LOL


Hot Baths/Cool Baths!
Coming back from vacation I busted out a cooling bath salt for once! It felt soooooooo good on my post vacation sunburn. I really missed my big soaking tub too. It’s the 1 thing I always miss when on vacation. Most tubs can’t compare, you know? *spoiled*

[涼湯めぐり] The Summer “cooling” version of my favorite brand~!
It’s mentholated

[温泉郷めぐり] A typical relaxing bath salt from my favorite brand.
Soothing aroma~



Lastly. My maxi dress shrank and all but 1 of my edamame died. I followed the cold washing instructions and even laid flat to dry but it still shrank. The edamame died because I didn’t show Mike how to properly water them while I was away. Their dead and dying dry leaves were then infested by millions of baby spiders soon after. So, they’re gone now. *sigh*
