bday pics part 1 *heavy img*

hey ladies! as i promised, here are some pics from my bday. the weekend before and during.

the weekend before my bday, i was in my hometown hanging out with friends and family. it's been too long since we all celebrated someone's bday together...might as well be mine since everyone was in town. :P but we all had a BLAST!

me with my favorite 1st cousin

between us 7 girls, we finished a bottle of 1800 in like 30-45 mins. talk about crazy! lol

me & the Mr.

then last weekend, my actual bday, we went out to a bar. my first time there but you know, had a good time... danced the night away with the lover and the fam/friends.

my ROCKSTAR look of the night.

what i couldn't believe is that i got this faux shiny leather Bebe top for only $3.50 and this Guess gem belt for $4 at a thrift store! what a steal! ^_^

that's it for now but i will surely post up some more pics later this week. thanks for looking ladies!

*quick update*

hey ladies! just wanted to stop in for a quick update. i haven't been bloggin' lately due to a damn virus that has infected my computer at home so i'm doing a quick update here at work. lol

anyways, i just celebrated my bday this past weekend so i will have to post pics up from then and the weekend before. now it's on to getting school stuff for my lil' man who's starting kindergarten in 2 wks! *cries* it's gonna be another busy 2 wks for me!

Saturday look

i know, it's kinda late but wanted to share my saturday look with you ladies. yesterday was a lazy day, yet busy so i didn't get to posting.

white tank & black cardigan & heart studded earrings: F21

black lace mini skirt: WetSeal

camel studded gladiator sandals: Target

belt: NY&Co. (this is the one my gf gave me. i'm so glad i can wear it as a belt too :P)

i haven't done a brown smokey in a long time so that's what i ended up doing.

i am sooo addicted to....

THRIFT SHOPS!!! just spent like $90 yesterday at 1 thrift store. OMG!! i love this thrift shop that we went to. they have so much variety and not to mention, they were having their 75% off certain summer items. lots of stuff were going fast!! i think i might hit that store up again next week to grab a couple more items that i didn't get. but here is my haul from today's shopping (this is excluding kelly's stuff that i bought for her) ***heavy img

here's my lil' man in his blazer and dress shirt & tie. he LOVES it! and it was a good price too! everything we got was less than $5 besides 3 items.

don't mind the tag that's still on the scarf... ^_^

these boots are lace and they were only $17!! woot woot

love the neckline detail of the black tank... sooo pretty!!

i might return the white mini cuz it's a bit small but man, it was less than $2... i think i could make it a high waisted mini and wear leggings/tights under neath.

and my FAVE find of the day... this dark brown faux leather jacket!! so darn hot and i've been looking for a leather jacket too....now gotta get me one in black keke

to end the post... here's my makeup look for the day. until next time ladies, ta-ta!

2 early birthday presents!!!

hey ladies! i'm so super excited cuz i just received my bday present from the Mr. *screams* I SUPER LOVE HIM FOR GETTING ME THESE SHOES!!! i've been wanting a pair of these studded heels for the longest time and when i first found a knock off pair, they were going for $66 bucks on ebay. Mr. didn't want to spend that much on a pair of shoes for me so when i found them on makemechic.com for only $23, i had to tell him to get them for me for my bday next month. ^_^ after s&h charges, it was about half the price of the first pair i found. SUPER EXCITED TO SPORT THESE FOR MY BDAY!

here i am sporting my new shoes with today's work outfit :P

then last weekend, during gavin's bday party, my bestie gave me my bday gift as well. she told me "when i saw this, i thought 'this is so pang.'" and when i saw it, i totally agreed with her!! love the necklace she got me too!! so funny how i was asking one of the Mr.'s older sis to make me a similar necklace to this one. now she won't have to. ^_^

a closer view of the necklace.

what can i say? i'm a bit of a spoiled brat. lol

i have a mini clothing haul that have to share as well but we'll save that for tomorrow. have a good night ladies!

mini clothing/shoe haul

hey ladies! so during lunch today, i went over to plato's closet to check out their stash of thrifted clothes. didn't really find any clothing that i liked since i was on a time limit but i did find some cute shoes for $6. yes, that's right $6!! i was thrilled. they're so cute and good for work as well. :P

today was also my first day back to work from my 4 day weekend. during my absence at work, the skirt that i ordered from f21 last week came in. i was super excited to get home and try it on. sad to say, when i tried it on, it didn't fit as tightly as i hoped for. i got a large, thinking it would be like one of the other skirts i got from there. boy, i was wrong. anyways, thinking about asking my mom to alter it somehow to fit me, if not, i'll just give it to kelly.

i love the faux leather look it has...that's the main reason i bought it.

but since that since didn't work out, i'm thinking about getting both these skirts instead.

love the zipper details on this skirt, both front and back ^_^

i love the crazy black and white design on here. and it's less than $10 so why not.

ok, now i'm all excited about ordering these! *eek! p.s. this is what happens when you're bored and wanna surf the net lol
