birthday weekend!

happy birthday to me! I'm 14 now! so first of all before i get into the clothes and thrifting this weekend, my mom got me the biggest surprise of my life.
i'm now typing this blog on a brand new computer. she surprised me with a brand new macbook pro! macbook pro. my other computer was a 5 year old dell. it was horrible, always ran slow and was always loosing blogs. so with this computer i think i will more likely be posting more because now its very very very enjoyable to post.


also, everyone remember my shoe post? about my beautiful butler street boots? yeah well Modcloth cancelled my order. i was so upset you don't even know. victory was so close, but yet so far away.


okay so my weekend!


my mom gave me $100 to shop. Don't bug her. plus i had $120 of my own. so i wasn't poor but i was not about to go on a coach shopping spree either. whenever we go to this mall, i always check out Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Hot Topic, and a few others. 


I already knew what i wanted at hot topic. it wasn't really fashionable but I'll tell you about it anyways. i like dinosaurs  so i bought this;

i think that everyone needs shirts and outfits that are considered relaxing days, and this is definitely one of those. i bought this because i love it and well yeah. $25 down the drain. i never pay full price for things, so that's a sign of how much i adore this shirt.


Then i went to Charlotte Russe. I needed a pair of flats because all i have is heels and all girls know that just some days you just don't want to wear heels. so picked out these ones;

I'll admit they do look a little awkward on my feet but it's not a deal breaker. $10.


i also visited H&M. They were having their big 'CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF FASHION IN THE US FOR 10 DAYS' and a few things were $10 off. it was pretty nice. they had a DJ out front and i danced when they played California Gurls and Teenage Dream.  i picked up a shit that's floral, pinks, browns, greys, greens, with rushed sleeves and a scoop neck. i love it and it was only $9.95.


this F21 wasn't very kind to me so we moved on over to a town 30 minutes away with a mall that no one goes to that has a Forever 21, H&M, and another Hot Topic. I did fabulous here.
I bought a MJ shirt at HT for $10 that's no big deal, another lazy day shirt.


This H&M always has fabulous clearance and sales. i don't know what it is but its great. i bought a white, almost a knit-spandex white shirt that has this wrap around flamingo. it was adorable and only $7. I also found a giant over sized heart face sweater full price for $9.95.
The other styles, lets say you wanted a cat or something, were $39.95, but you know, for a $30 difference i think i can deal with a heart face.


I'm known for my weird sweaters, as you guys will experience on this blog.

so then i visited the Forever 21, conveniently across from the H&M. I was first attracted to this floral cotton knit skirt. i found a brown vneck sweater and it was a little too tight. I tried a lot of shirts with the skirt but i gave up. I decided it was pointless for me to buy a skirt in October where in the mornings its already 22F in the morning. brr! i came across this sheep sweater thought i really liked (Que weird sweater numeral trois.)
another shirt i came across in the bigger mall was this cute little toast shirt! but i couldn't find it anywhere and i wanted it! i saw it very quickly at this mall and i snatched it up and ran to the dressing room. $8.80 and its mine now. it had a cute little toast on it it with a Barrett and a handlebar mustache that said bonjour. i love it and will wear it proudly.


i also picked up a lot of cute little jewelery at forever 21 i wouldn't bore you guys with. a set of hoops, robot earrings, a pair of owl earrings, an owl necklace, and an owl necklace/earring set. i love owls too and it was all so cute.


The first day we were here we also went to a goodwill. all the thrift stores i had planned on visiting we chickened out on the way there because it was in a very sketchy part of town and we didn't feel like taking our chances. 
at the goodwill, i picked up these two things;

they were both $4.99 each. the GIANT owl necklace we have dated to 80's/90's were not quite sure. it's older though, its in remarkable condition. the jewelery box we cannot figure out for our lives how old it is. if you look in the owl picture that red in the back is the red velvet of the inside of the box. it has a very, very, very old 'made in japan' stamp in the back of the box. if anyone has an idea of how old they think it is let me know!


we also went to Marshalls. (LAST STORE, I PROMISE.) i couldn't find much i wanted. i started looking at winter coats because it is, after all, getting cold. then i found a Betsey Johnson coat for $80. Betsey? $80? i was so shocked. i had to hunt to find it in my size but my mom willingly bought it for me.

i decided to go take my Modcloth returned shoe money and buy a pair of boots. Steve Madden/ Madden Girl shoes preferable. I have a problem with those shoes i love them a lot, comfy and cute.

There is a whole other pile not even pictured! i tried on so many i swear they must of thought i was going to steal them! i ended up with a gray, slouchy boot.


really long post! I'm sorry! i hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!
