Shopping Finds: Salvation Army, Morgantown

Secondhand and thrift shopping is definitely my favorite kind! I've discovered so many new favorite brands, and learned an ability to be able to sometimes be able to tell an article of clothing's brand from afar before even looking at the tag. Most of the shopping I did while I was in Japan was the same.  Plus, prices are awesome, as long as you don't mind wearing something someone else has worn before

I'll start with shoes!  

While I have lots of nice high heels, they aren't very practical for everyday use, as much as I want them to be X(  So, I've been looking for cute, but everyday wearable shoes.  These are obviously better for spring/summer though.  Oh, and they're Korean!  I can't believe I found them at the Salvation army here!

And next are a nice pair of Converse!  I used to have a pair, but I wore them to death.  These are a little bit more appropriate for everyday and cooler weather.  Plus, I have a lot of pink and black in my wardrobe

AND THEN I FOUND MY MOST FAVORITEST PERFUME!!! Yes, the bottles are both more than half empty, but I paid $2 for each, and I have been wanting these for so long, especially the green one.  Way better than the like $60 for a full bottle

And finally this super cute shirt!

It says this at the bottom:

There's a Plato's Closet opening in Morgantown soon, and they're already collecting clothes! I think I'll bring some of mine there soon :)

This was one of the most fun photo shoots I've ever done, with amazing new friends! I feel like since I've met these girls, I can be completely me and talk about anything and I've just met them all not too long ago! I feel like I've been more artistic lately, and motivated to do what I love ♡  I'm so thankful to have been able to meet them and look forward to when we can all collaborate again!  It's also so nice to be around other girly girls! XD I haven't felt this good in a while.  So I guess I've already completed a New Years resolution? =D This soon?!

My Favorite Gachapon!

Last time I was in Japan, I discovered something amazing.  I love food, cute things, animals, and parrots, and leave it to Japan to combine all of those things together and make yet another dream of mine come true! >_< 

These little Gachapon guys!!! They come from vending machines with little toys, key chains, and figures inside like this:

There are many new ones that have come out since I've left Japan, and I want to collect more of them!  I've had parrots as pet since I was little, and I've always thought that cockatiels resembled bananas...

I also have other animal/food combinations!

And here's a couple more cute parrots

That's my collection right now, but when I go to Japan next, I want to collect more! Here's some of the ones I'll be looking out for:

^ Seriously the cutest thing ever, I NEED these ones the most!! ^

Is anyone else as excited/also collects these like me?

Review: Zenni Optical Glasses

Zenni Optical has all kinds of glasses for super cheap prices, and if you know your prescription information, you can get prescription glasses too!  The prices range between $10 and $50 with most being around $20-$30.  I seriously just want to get a bunch of different ones to wear with every outfit!  But for now I'll stick with these two

First are these pink ones (Browline Eyeglasses 4414419)
which are kind of my everyday ones, currently.  They actually pinch my nose slightly, but it's not distractingly noticeable.  They are also I think slightly big for my face.  Not that they don't stay on or fit well, just that my face is small I guess? ^_^ They just look like they are a bit too big. But, I think they're cute and I've gotten many compliments on them.

These ones are obviously not good for everyday. (Prescription Heart-Shaped Glasses 4420218) They do work with a lot of my wardrobe though. Plus, Valentine's Day is coming up and I can definitely wear them then! I just HAD to own a pair of heart shaped glasses that can actually help me see.  They don't pinch my nose like the other ones do.

And the prescription on them is perfect, even though they are so cheap! I can see and they are good quality.
