Two Thousand Things : June 2010

My newest buy..

I saw this great deal on Forever21 website the other day and without thinking much I ordered it right away ^o^ I mean, who can't resist a $5 shoes, for God sake?? And they have it in my size too! Compare to the prices of F21 here in Indo, $5 shoes is really a great steal :D
Here's my new shoes.. It doesn't have a great style or design but it's simple chic and i love the color so I bought it anyway:

I ordered it and sent it to my brother in law's US address and he'll be coming here to Indo and will be arriving tonight so I can't wait... ^o^

Actually this blue shoes are not my first choice. My first choice is this black and red mary jane style that my hubby also love:

But they don't have my size so I have to opt for something else. This one is cheap too, less than $10 as I recall. Too bad they don't have my size.. I also browsed the tops sale section and got my eyes caught on these two..

This metallic sweater tunic is only $13.99 (still available now at the website). Thank God I didn't buy this because i suddenly remembered that I have a sweater top just like this one (well, a very similar version) on my wardrobe, take a look at this:

Really similar, ha? My dad surprisingly bought me this one, it's a miracle really, how I agree with my dad's choice this time. My dad used to do that sometimes, bringing me home a couple of clothing out of nowhere. Usually whenever my dad bought me some clothes it's always out of my good choice, he always blew it haha but not this time. This time, he finally knows my style and taste ^o^

Anyway, the other thing from F21 website Sale section that I laid my eyes on was this red yoke knit top. This one goes for only $10.99 at the website (still available) and i always want a top like this, with the knit and yoke detail at the neck area. Too bad this one is also out of my size:

So I only end up with the blue flat shoes above..
I also bought a Tresemme Thermal Creations heat Tamer protective Spray from drugstore.com. This was on Sale at drugstore.com -- Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off. So you get the 2nd purchase for 50% off. I bought two so I got to use the discount. The offer is still on going at the website, click here if you want to use the discount too.

I actually in need of a heat protectant spray ever since I bought a new flat iron and curling iron. I learned from some of my youtube hair style gurus that you need to use a heat protectant spray for your hair before you use any styling tools or even before you use hair dryer so your hair won't get damaged. I have been searching for those so called heat protectant in every beauty and drug store here in Indo but I couldn't find it, even at big beauty stores such as Guardian, Shop In, etc..

So I was desperate and then I heard the news that my brother in law will be coming home for good after 4 years studying and working in the US and so I searched for the so called heat protectant and sent it to his address so that he could bring it here to me, yeay!
One of my hair guru on youtube, Judy, uses heat protectant from Tresemme. And after some googling in search of the perfect heat protectant spray I found that Tresemme is one of the best that people recommended.

So, that's my story for today ^__^

This is probably out of date already but I forgot to post about SATC 2 the movie. I figured I just squeezed it here. What do you think of SATC 2? Unlike several reviews that says the movie is a little bit disappointing I say I really love the movie! I like the story, the clothes, the places and all of the details, I just love it! Remind me to buy the DVD so I can watch it again and again and again :D

Anyway, here's what I wore to see SATC 2 movie:

It's nothing special, just a simple outfit perfect for movie night:
GAP ribbed tank // Marks&Spencer shawl/pashmina
random brand skinny jeans // Yongki studded sandals
white quilted bag from METRO // Lola&Grace necklace (etsy)
white asymmetrical bangle -swapped via my online store

And here are some SATC 2 polyvore sets that I found that might remind you of how chic Carrie Bradshaw is:
