Another Plndr package...dont judge me

This order was made before the last one though! I don't have a problem! Just extra monties, codes, and good offers! But anyways, this is the shirt for the boyfriend and pair of shoes for myself. 
Isn't it cute lol
I got the shirt as a part of the bf's christmas gift of course. Yeah I'm more than likely done with him o.o. I just keep finding stuff that I know he'll like TT_TT lol. 
It's a skeleton fella on a bike white tank. He's quite the clean fellow, so I'm not worried of him messying it up lol.
Moving on to my new pair of shoes, HA. I got another pair of those comfy Cheap Monday shoes to match my others o.o....they were lonely lol.


Don't they look so cute together :3
I'm not quite sure I like the black laces on them sadly. I don't know why, but I thought they'd be white...BUT this just gives me a reason to buy some laces >:D muahahahaha. I actually wasn't thinking about switches the laces until now heh. I really like the bottom art. I'm almost afraid to wear them in fear that it'll be all janked up. If the event of that were to occur, at least I've still got the photos lol.
Also, I made chocolate chip cookie muffins on Friday. Yes choco chip COOKIE MUFFINS lol.

 I put marshmallows on two of them....they were so good! Especially when they were warm.

'Til next time!

Yet another PLNDR related post

My unrelated british twin, Jordie-Bear, messaged me on skype letting me know there was a 50% off code for PLNDR. The code was exclusive to him, and since he [Jordie] also wanted a Mishka hat [that I am quite jealous of actually lol] which would cost an arm and a couple butt cheeks for him to purchase since he lives in the UK, so this was a group effort ^_^. I have had a cart full of $35 worth of stuff that has been waiting to be purchased for a couple weeks now. The hat made my total $55, but with the code I got everything for about $35 [$34 and some change] with shipping included. Which is way better than my $35 worth of items plus shipping. Here's what was purchased this go:

1. The Taos Beanie in Turquoise by Coal
Most likely for the bf's christmas prezzie...unless I fall in love with it and keep
it o.o..lol jk I'll just take it from him when I want to wear it :3
Coal makes some really awesome looking beanies too! I really want a few
for myself too.
2. The Avenue Crewneck in Heather Grey by Dope Couture
This is for my brother's christmas prezzie. I don't see him with words on his stuff anymore
on account of him being 23 years old, but I feel he may just enjoy this...
hopefully...lol plus I don't think he has a lot of Winter stuff anyways so there lol.
3 & 4. The Safe Tank in Gray & Black by Copy
These are both for the bf. I liked that pocket lol, and they were $6.99 each so I decided
he could have two. I think these two are the END of shopping for the bf
though lol. I'm not keeping track of how much I already bought
anymore XD.
5. The Oversized Death Adders New Era in Black by Mishka
Oh this beautiful Gem. Oh Oh why are you not for me beautiful gem, why?
This is for Jordie-bear lol. As much as I fuss and fight about that damn snake-
tongued bear, I can just never have him lol.
'Til Next Time
I'll be editing photos from a shoot earlier today

You can never be too early...

I've decided that I'm just going to do as much christmas shopping as I can now, and maybe do some last minute stuff closer to christmas when they do sales and stuff. I think this is a better idea since when the sales come, I really really want to spend money on myself and am all *sad faced* when I must think of my receivers first. Since I've already started with the boyfriend, and just started on mi madre, I decided why not just knock the stuff out now?! So here are plans and purchases for presents SO FAR.

For starters, whom I shopping for includes: Mom, Dad, Brodie, Boyfriend, Best Friend. [boy has my list narrowed over the years o.o]


Mom
I haven't bought anything for mi madre yet, but I always like to spend the most time on her present. Since we're best buds and all I already know what to get her :3.

What I'd like to/Plan on buying
First thing is probably a purse to put everything in. Possibly some things for her Hookah [which I purchased for her for Mother's day :3]
Neko food charm - eBay
Leo Hello Kitty Keycap - eBay 
Purple fuzzy toe socks - Sock Dreams 
Plum midcalf kitty socks [madre likes cats] - Sock Dreams 
Funk blue Calf cat socks - Sock Dreams 
Noir Cat Knee Highs - Sock Dreams

Dad
Pops is quite hard for me to purchase for...since he mainly likes electronics...and Starfish ain't got electronics money. I did have my eye on maybe a carrying case thing for his ipad, or some snazzy carrying case for multiple or any of his electronics lol.

Brodie
Also am not sure what to get this fella...maybe some clothes....most likely some clothes..

Boyfriend
Bought
PLNDR
Germany flag pin - eBay
American Flag Socks - Sock Dreams
Would like to/Plan on buying
Galaxy shirt - eBay

American Flag Backpack [my baby likes Amer. flag] - eBay

Aztec Print Socks [if he doesn't end up buying them himself -_-] - Sock Dreams
Best Friend [Sara]
Lastly, is my best friend Sara. I will more than likely be getting her a purse with some red themed jewelry pieces, and maybe some tupac things. I saw this Tupac Good Wood Gun necklace that I'm sure she'd like....just gotta find where to get my hands on it again -_-.

As you can see...I've mainly been getting things for the boyfriend...well..he's on my mind a lot and I laptop screen shop a lot and I see things he may enjoy..a lot lol.

'Til next time

PLNDR hits again!

It's like my blog is a PLNDR blog or something. I was on my merry way, regularly checking my email as I do, when up pops an email from PLNDR. "LARGER-THAN-LIFE MYSTERY PROMO INSIDE" were the words I read as I hurriedly clicked open thus email. 
Unknowing to what would happen next I picked door #3 with 3 being my favorite number and all. I was taken to various shoes, so I clicked on the other two doors trying to find the promo, only to find clothes and such like a regular "shop" [the categories are called shops on plndr]. I finally stopped and read the email, picked out a couple items, and picked "spin3". 

Results:
Promo Code: SPIN3 --> 20% + Free Shipping no minimum order.
 RepCode: STARFISH --> 1% off
Index Ink The Skeleton Biker Tank in White
for the Boyfriend christmas Gift
$5
Cheap Monday The Bird Lady Sneaker in Black
awwww yeaaaaaah to match my blue ones :3
$10
[SPIN1 and SPIN2 are two completely different specials, but I decided on SPIN3]

I just keep getting sucked in by PLNDR's lovely deals...I ain't even mad :3

eBay Treasures Haul

I am one of the many lovers of ebay shopping. Even when I'm not purchasing anything, I do a little computer screen perusing [window shopping]...or a lot. haha.

Here are the many random items I've been purchasing since the 17th.

Gifts Shopping

Since I've started doing swaps, my way of giving gifts has changed. 
Instead of finding one thing that my recipient's going to like, I gather all the information I can of what my gift receiver likes and get a smorgeshborgh of gifts (ノ♥ヮ♥)ノ*:・゚✧. With that said, the boyfriend's birthday is coming up [Aug 3rd] so I'm gathering my information and goodies lol.

I had already decided to get him more of those Jelly sticks from the Asian Market, but since he really likes fruit snacks I was going to get a good selection of fruity snacks :). I was going to get him a brown fox tail keychain like my grey one, but I didn't want him to think I wanted him to match me lol. Maybe I'll save that one for Christmas. I also got him an oriental bowl and spoon set, since he was taking things from oriental restaurants we'd go to lol.


Since my fella has a certain hipster-eque dress style, I perused Plndr to see if I could find something that I think he'd like. I was quite successful in finding two items that I thought were just perfect for him, but sadly when I went back to pay....one was sold out TT_TT. The one that was sold out was the perfect perfect one lol. It was a white tank top that had "Sneakerhead" written in white letters bordered with a red background. My baby loves his shoes lol.

What I was able to get was a cute flannel hooded buttondown
Torrance Flannel Hooded Buttondown Shirt in Teal

There was a red one also that I went back and forth with this one, but in the end I've chosen the Teal one ^_^. Since Plndr has new deals everyday and fricken amazing prices, I'll probably go back a couple times to see if anything else catches my eye for him. Though I'll be pushing it with trying to get it in before his birthday and all lol. Sidenote: oh, and don't worry ladies Plndr has lovely items for you too! I've ordered some cute pieces for myself in the past ^_^.
Before my time's up, I'm going to try and find him some nice tanks. I just hope that he enjoys all the pieces I've pick out for him (◕‿-)

July Shoppings

Let's start off with a trade I'm doing on facebook with V's A'more Bello
She was interested in a few of my rare plushies that I was letting go of, including:
- Nyan nyan nyanko cake plush

- San-x Rilakkuma Sandwich squishy
- 6 Sanrio Hello Kitty Desserts squishies
- San-xRilakkuma Dango squishy
- San-x Kamonohashi Kamo Platypus Squishy
She said she sent today, I'm quite excited to receive and send.

Moving on!
I had ordered some Hello Kitty Cabochons for my swap with paperfun, and they came in yesterday. I have to say that they are quite adorable. I bought them off of ebay. Just put cabochon in the search. They have a wide variety.

Early yesterday, the family went out to eat at my favorite Indian Restaurant up the street.
My delicious plate consisted of: Rice, Chicken Tikka Masala [on rice], Spicy Chicken 65, and Malai chicken. omnomnom

Now onto the serious shopping portion. My favorite stores include anywhere I can get a whole wardrobe for $50-$60 lol [i.e. goodwill/thrift stores, ross, rainbow, wally world etc etc.]  I went to Ross and Rainbow the other day. Here's my loot:
This Crocheted shawl is actually from eBay. I bought it
for $5.50 with free shipping
Rainbow: Dark Navy Blue Star and Lace tight Dress
Acquiring more clothing with Stars lol Lil Miss Starfish
$7
Rainbow: White and Denim Blue stripped strapless dress with belt
I also bought an earthy floral one in the same style with a diff. belt,
but that was a different trip lol
$7
Rainbow: White, Black, Baby Turquoise tanks
$3 each
Rainbow: Super comfy, Black&White floral print  lounge pants
They had an animal print pair also that I may go back and get.
These are extremely comfy!
$10
Ross: Navy Blue Floral print dress
$7.99
Ross: See-thru checkered floral tank with mesh back
$8.99
the mesh back
Along with shopping, I've also been trying to get some refashioning done, so I can have some "unique" clothing items for the coming school year.
I bought this button-down on one of my Goodwill trips back at school. 
It's a size XL [I think in Women's]. I started off with taking one of my tank tops and "measuring" off where I wanted to start cutting. I started with the sleeves, and sewed a hem on one of the holes. I'm going to do the same to the other side and take in the sides so that it isn't so wide.
In the end, I should have a lovely sleeveless button-down for the hot summer.
When I got back home, I ventured to one of the Goodwill's in my area that I haven't been to yet and found this lovely blouse:
Sadly it had a hole in it, but I didn't care. It was too cute and such a lovely color that I decided I could just fix it. So this is the second "refashion" I'm working on.
I've decided to put a pocket over it :D
This is only the beginning of my shopping ventures. I haven't done back-to-school shopping yet >:3
