Highway to Neverland

I must go to bed in 20 min so here's a quick post recapping my day! Destination: States

Challenge: to buy boots
Approx 8:15AM - off to the states w/ Nad and her 'rents!
Long lineup at the border (1hr plus)-- played w/ Nad's new ipod (has games!) which I still find difficult to use :( ... then headed to Costco while the 'rents got new tires and walked over to TJ Maxx (like a Ross) where I found nothing and Ross where I almost bought a dresser/multi-drawer thing for $100 (from $130.. reg $250).. got them to give me a bigger discount 'cause it was all scraped up... I wanted to buy it for around $70... anyway, and I found a kawaii Harajuku Lovers belt bag (notmypics)! After lunch at Wendy's, the 'rents dropped Nad and I off at Bellis Fair where we shopped for over 5 hours where we came across free samples... multiple times haha, I tried on a black and gold-chained Guess dress (suki desu), we saw 2 guys wearing identical pink hoodies and jeans, I tried on silver metallic leggings, & we searched for boots. Nooo luck for me =( Nad got a pair of jeans and a couple things for Dims.. and we both ended up buying long basic black leggings from Target! Then we go back to Costco (Costco ga suki desu!) -- their Costco has so much more variety than ours -- the picture on the right is of their wine bottle selection. They also have a cheese section and the HUGE All American 7lbs Chocolate Cake Nad is hiding behind of on the right hahaha
After that we went to chow a late 9'oclock dinner at a restaurant called Parrot Sisters in Bellingham. Long lineup - waited for over 30 min I think. See below for picture. It was south western/retro chic. I like the retro touch and all... but it's due for a makeover.


Decent-to-large portions - 6/10 food - not so great service.

WHEW that was one quick post! I haven't shopped like that since August! Sad to say, but I have to build up my shopping stamina (whodathought?)
Thanks Nad for today!!

I'll end w/ a couple pics of pics from DBSK's Bonjour Paris Photobooks (daisuki!!! =Love it!)
I wonder if they got to climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe. I loved it up there... it was so magical for me. The sun was setting and the temperature was the most perfect Arc-de-Triomphe temp ever. Forget the Eiffel Tower.. it's overrated - the Arc de Triomphe should be THE place to propose... but shhh don't wanna share the location! Sigh.. I wanna go back. Same with walking across the Brooklyn Bridge in NY during sunset in August.
Pure contentment right there.

Pandas and Pretty Little Things

Was Gossip Girl not on last week? No one seems to have the episode... darn.

Morn Creations Panda Bag [$20USD]
I saw this panda face on bags quite often in Hong Kong.. and thought they got it from Ocean Park... but no! It's apparently stylish! Whoda thought. It's cute, I guess.. well this is a change purse so it's cute.. but I don't know about the huge bags they're selling on YesStyle. It reminds me of the hong mao (panda in Cantonese) stuffed animal I bought at Ocean Park (right)... and the t-shirt HAHA!! I might as well show you the new Hollywood movie coming out next year. Kung Fu Panda. Rain (the superduperfamous Korean singer/actor also known as Bi) is going to sing the theme song... and Jack Black and Jackie Chan are the voices. CUTE! So yea - let's prepare for awesomeness!
OK enough of the cutesy stuff.

I'm looking for a GIANT floor mirror for my bedroom. I want something antique-looking. I see my perfect mirror every time I watch this commercial on the Family Channel (51). It's in this girl's room and it always flashes by and it pangs my heart knowing that the perfect one is out there... in that TV... lol ok I stop.
This is one - it's a beautiful mirror and I like the shape and size and all, but it'll overpower my room and it's not exactly the style I'm looking for. Way out of budget too.

I adore monogram. Monogrammed plates, jewelry boxes, linens... and this bracelet!
(Just not monogrammed bling necklaces...)

Anna Sui was in the Vancouver Sun today. She's coming to Vancouver! So here's to her:

Sorry -- unorganized, boring post... promise tomorrow's will be better.
