Runnin’ Green

So this weekend was fun and eventful, but now I’m so super tired. Since it was after all, St. Patrick’s Day weekend! My girl Holly registered me to run a 5K up in Bellingham in the “Runnin’ O’ the Green.” Holly was suppose to run with me, but she over exerted herself and she now has shin splints.

Gifts for the Girls

Probably the hardest people to shop for are my BFFs (and my Dad, but he usually says socks. :| ). What makes them super hard is that I don’t see them as often as I used to and since two of them are married, I don’t know what the husbands are getting them… And I’ve got to keep it under 50 bucks! HARD, right?!

October’s Must Have

Got my October Popsugar Must-Have last week… yeah, I know. I had the pictures on my phone for a while before I remember to post them. LOL. This has to be the one monthly offering/product/goodies subscription that I might have to keep for a while. The others I still enjoy but some are a bit more expensive than this one.

Dress Shopping

Hi, if you been seeing my twitter posts, I’m currently in Portland! Since my lil’sister is finally starting the wedding process, we are looking at dresses now that the location is set! It’s fun watching her put on dresses and whatnot! She’s so cute!

We’ve got several places to check out! Next after this is the mall! For some regular shopping!

Think Pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Most people are aware of breast cancer, but many forget to take the steps to detect the disease early and encourage others to do the same. I’m happy to say that I know two people in my life that found the disease early and are not thriving stronger than ever!

Must Haves

Every since I’ve gotten back from my vacation, work has been busy more than usually. Then again it is the start of the holiday season and shops are starting to really advertise to get people shopping! Who knows?! But I finally got the August POPSUGAR Must Have this past weekend since no one picked up the mail while I was away. SIGH.

Dior…

With a little research, I do believe this is a circa 1970′s Vintage Christian Dior Monogram Handbag. I think… Isn’t this bag great. I love this garage sale find along with my wicker Fossil Shoulder Bag. Also, what makes this find even better, I got it for 50¢. Yeah, 50¢. The local Lions Club does this garage sale fundraiser every year, but this time I scored! The Fossil bag is huge and is going to be great for Hawaii, while I’m going to try to clean the Dior bag a bit and use it for special occasion or whenever I feel it’s a special occasion! My weekend is going great!

Did anyone else hit up your local garage sales? The season just started, so I know I’m going to be hitting up more places once the weather starts warming up!

May Black Bag Goods

I finally got my latest Black Bag purchase. I actually spend a whole week trading items with other Black Bag shoppers. It took a really long time for me to be satisfied enough with what was in my bag this time!

The one thing I definitely didn’t want to give up was the Nila Anthony Mesh Satchel. When I saw it, I knew it would make an awesome gym bag. I know, GYM BAG! But it’s sleek and stylish, compared to my carry-on that I was originally using.

So the Micheal Marcus Fuchisa Have This Good a Time was a lot more pink than what was shown online. Kind of disappointing, since I was really wanted the purple color.

I’ve started a massive collection of ZAD jewelry. Now add on these two: ZAD Zig-Zag Printed Cuff and ZAD Hammered Collar. I really like the collar and it was a big hit at the bridal shower along with the new asymmetrical dress I brought this weekend. (Will take pictures of that soon, I hope. I’m really bad at finding time to take pictures)

The final item I got is the Case-Mate Waddler Case for the iPhone.  Like I really need any more iPhone cases, but this is so cute. However I kept trading it for other cases like the mummy or the vampire one. But somehow the waddler kept coming back. Had to keep it!

This is going to be my last black bag for a while, since I really need to set aside money for (1) my Hawaii Trip in August/September (I’ve already brought my plane tickets and BFF is super, duper excited); (2) my friend, Amy’s Wedding in July (still need to purchase wedding gift and book hotel); and finally (3) purchase my RUN FOR YOU LIVES 5k Obstacle course run in August. My summer weekends are getting book left and right!
