NEW BOOTS~~~ 
 |
And only $20.00 too! I put together an outfit for them today 
 |
Kind of crappy lighting in my new apartment 
Probably doesn’t help that it’s always so cloudy outside! I can’t wait for the weather to start reflecting the season.
So I’ve been doing some crafting again recently! With even more sculpting! These new pieces were heavily influenced by crafts I see for sale on mbok and such 
 |
 |
I’ll probably put them up for sale either later today or tomorrow. There aren’t so many because I wanted to put little details into each of them ♥
I almost forgot, I want to review a webshop I bought from recently! In addition to my usual MAC lashes, I’ve been looking for some cheaper lashes for days when I don’t feel like breaking out my #7’s. So I checked around and finally found out about Jcosme. At first I was a little scared to order from them since they don’t accept Paypal and I hadn’t really heard any reviews. But I decided to just go for it and order a bunch of the “Ethnic Beauty” style lashes. They also have “Gyaru Fashion” lashes that are cute and dramatic!
 |
So those are mine above 
I ordered way too many though so I might sell off a few pairs! I loved ordering from Jcosme though, and they even sent me a bunch of cute nail stickers with my lash order, it was so sweet and unexpected!
 |
Made another MAC order recently as well since I didn’t end up visiting their counter at Nordstrom when I was visiting home. And now that I’m back and taking summer courses (including yoga! but more about that later!) I won’t get the chance for awhile. I decided to order some eyeshadows in Woodwinked and Shroom and more #7 lashes. I seriously love #7’s 
 |
Okay this entry is getting long but I’ll update about progress on my Japan internship and more later! 
Has it really been two weeks since my last update 
I guess I’ve been busier than usual lately! That tends to happen towards the end of the year/semester. I’m sure that when the year ends I’ll be back to updating regularly 
The seminar for my possible internship in Japan is coming up fast! It’s on May first. I need to make sure I get all my documents in before then. Also need to get a new iPhone case as I lost my Rilakkuma one recently when I dropped my phone at a dance I’m thinking of replacing it since the Rilakkuma cases are now available on eBay, or I might get this cute Juicy Couture one~
 |
For now my iPhone doesn’t have a case, but considering that I could have lost the phone as well it makes me happy to at least still have my iPhone 
There’s currently a Beauty Insider 15% off your entire order sale going on at Sephora for anyone who didn’t already know about it! The promo code for it is MADNESS and it ends tomorrow. I was seriously considering some of the cute new tokidoki collab items Sephora has up for sale but decided not to buy.

I finally did a bit of crafting over the weekend and here are the results!
 |
I haven’t been feeling very creative lately but it was nice to do some work with clay after not having made anything for awhile. I have most of the rings above for sale as well as some Liz Lisa items and more at the link below 
Just a quick post today – I’ll get back to regular updates when I get back from spring break! 
I got my package from Celga today, just in time, and so I’ll do a post on that on Monday~ Some of the items I bought didn’t fit quite right though so I have some things up for sale at the link below
Liz Lisa necklace, Liz Lisa spring 2010 top, Liz Lisa floral dress, Liz Lisa bag/skirt/etc charm for sale!
I loveee my new Rilakkuma iPhone case though! 
 |
The Liz Lisa boots I bought are adorable too, but I’ll post a full update on Monday with some outfit shots with them! 
As promised here’s a small random giveaway for you all! First to comment will receive a Cinnamoroll sticker pack including all the items shown below~
 |
Also I still have a Liz Lisa necklace for sale! I’m willing to take offers on it as I just want it sold 
You can find it at this link

So I’m finally going home tomorrow 
The campus is dead now that everyone’s on break, and that makes me want to get home even more. I went for a walk around the campus today, since I live on campus and just wanted to get outside, and there was hardly anyone around. It was really unusual, I’ve never seen it so deserted 
Before I leave tomorrow I think I’ll take advantage of the situation and get some pictures of the campus while no one is around to crowd it~
I went shopping today despite the horrible weather outside. I mean wind and snow on the first day of spring break 
But I was glad I went because all the new spring looks are finally in stores! I love that the western look hasn’t been limited to Japan – it’s definitely influencing the spring styles here too 
I was going to wait to buy anything until I got back home, but I tried on this dress/shirt at Vanity and had to buy it!
 |
The tank top underneath came with it so I think it was a pretty good deal for only about $30.00~ I plan on layering it with the Sechuna skirt in the photo since it’s one of those tops that is in between being a shirt and a dress 
There are lots more things I want to get from American Eagle and Vanity now that I’ve seen it all. During the winter I only really shopped at Buckle but for spring and summer I think I like those brands more. Actually I haven’t shopped at Vanity for years but they have some really cute pieces this spring so I can see a lot of outfits coming from there 
I definitely want to get a denim overshirt, wide leather belt, and some new tank tops.
I made a custom carousel ring for one of my friends yesterday – it turned out really cute! 
I really like the color combo of pink x black actually.
 |
Last thing, I have some Liz Lisa and Tralala items for sale~
 |
Brand new Liz Lisa necklace + Tralala sweets cutsew back up for sale
I’m probably going to be doing another giveaway tomorrow so watch out for that
Yesterday I wrote that I did some crafting, and here are the results 
Everything is currently for sale here ♥
 |
I’m starting to use less ‘whip cream’ aka silicone in my crafts and doing more actual sculpting. When I started out I never used silicone and lately I realized I would like to get back to the artistic element of jewelry making Plus I really hate the fumes that silicone gives off as it’s drying. It’s fine when it’s dry but before that it’s not pleasant, to say the least!
 |
Also made a necklace with a little bear as the cork I hand painted the face! I used E-6000 glue to keep the bear attached and I have to say, it’s the best glue I’ve ever used. It dries quick enough and when it’s dry it’s extremely strong! I’d definitely recommend it for crafting.
I’m thinking of selling this Tralala cutsew to help pay for my Celga shipping invoice~
 |
Is there any interest? I paid about $40.00 for it so I’m looking to get about that much for it. Leave a comment or contact me if you’re interested 
So now that spring break has started, I’ll probably just laze around this weekend 
I need to tidy my room before I leave on Monday though. I hate coming back home to a mess! My dorm room is really tiny though so it shouldn’t take too long. What do you all have planned for spring break
I just put up a new layout It’s much more simple than the older one but I like it~ I haven’t ever really added texture to any of my images but for this layout I decided to add a burlap texture to the header’s background and I love how it turned out! I’ll definitely be using textures for future projects.
Now that this layout is done I need to get started on a layout for my sister and her husband! They’re starting a business and so I offered to do the webdesigning for them. I guess we’ll see how well I can pull off a more ‘professional’ style of design
Only one more week until spring break I’m ridiculously excited for the break. I haven’t been home since mid January, which doesn’t sound like a long time, but it feels like it’s been forever. I think I got too used to all the breaks during November and December. And I just need a break from college after all the midterms. This next week is going to drag by I just know it. Note to self: before going home get all papers in order for internship in Japan! I want to get all the documents in asap!
Before I go, I have a special offer for readers! The iPhone case I listed at $39.00 yesterday is now marked down to $29.00 in the shop~
I deco’d another iPhone case yesterday~
I’ve brought back an old shop item – Bottle Pets! Bottle Pets are fully customizable tiny clay animals/characters in a glass bottle surrounded by the items of your choice.
Currently the photo examples are pretty old and I’ve improved my clay sculpting skills since then, but hopefully I’ll get some orders and be able to post newer images.
I’ve also updated the shop with necklaces, rings, and other items!
I was in the middle of an update yesterday when I started to feel sick so some of this is a day late. I think I might be coming down with a cold but I’m trying to rest it off in hopes that it doesn’t get worse. I’m pretty happy lately though because I found out a couple days ago that I was accepted for a summer camp counselor position. The summer camp is a couple hours away from New York so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to visit the city on my days off.
There are some new AP images up (a divider and two images)~
Also I have some new Angelic Pretty shop images for you all today. I love seeing the inside of their stores, the decorations are always so cute.
I bought a couple more things from Liz Lisa in preparation for spring! I think the skirt I bought is from their winter collection, but I plan on taking off the removable ribbon and pearl brooch and wearing it for spring.
And I bought this top in pink when I would have preferred white, but I found it on auction for 4,500yen (it usually retails for around 7,245yen) so I got it anyways. I don’t ever wear pink so let’s hope it still looks good!
Click here to check it out!
And finally here are just a couple more Liz Lisa auction highlights. Just to clarify, I’m not selling these items. I just try to find good deals on mBok and pass them on to you!
