OMG...I'm one of those girl girls!

So, I've been sick for a few days...a really bad COLD. I think I got it from my dad or is it my mom who got it from my dad. Whomever I got it from...THANKS....NOT!

So today was my Daddy's birthday and despite feeling sick, we all went out for some sushi at Yang's! I haven't been there in so long...and nothing really has changed except I couldn't get any Japanese Seaweed Salad because it's only offered for dinner. So after lunch, we dropped by a few places before heading to Yorkdale Mall. I really wanted to go to that mall because I was in search of something...a wallet to be exact. I wanted to pick up a wallet so badly since late last night when I first started searching the internet for this particular one.

Ok...so some background information on the kind of wallet I wanted to get. For Christmas, my Mommy gave me a brand new purse. A few months before the holidays, we had gone to Yorkdale and I spotted this bag and from that day forward I wanted it so badly. But the price tag was preventing me from buying it right then and there. My mom being the mom that she is decided to surprise me and get it for my Christmas gift. I absolutely loved it. Up to that point, all I have eyed before was Coach purchases. So anyways, I try my best to coordinate my bags with a matching wallet. However, since this was given to me as a gift I never really got around to getting the matching wallet. Until last night, when I decided it was necessary for me to go to the Michael Kors website and look up to see the matching wallet to go with my purse. Keep in mind, that I had fallen asleep literally from about 5pm until 10 pm because I was so sick. You can imagine how awake I was at that point.

So, it was late in the evening...past 1 am because I had stayed up with my dad watching Fool's Gold. I actually enjoyed the movie. Ok, back to the wallet. I went onto the Michael Kors website and started looking for the Austin collection. Oh no...it seems like the website wasn't carry the collection anymore. So then I used the trusty GOOGLE search engine and started searching for "Michael Kors wallet + austin". And then I finally came across the image of the wallet I wanted to get because it would match the purse. But I couldn't find it anywhere...so I decided at that point that I would go to Yorkdale Mall and check out the Michael Kors store there in case they would have it in stock. So after lunch, my dad agreed to take my mom and I to Yorkdale Mall. I went straight for the store and started to search. I asked the first sales lady if they had any of the Austin zip wallets and she said no. Can you possibly imagine how disappointed I was. But then I saw this other wallet from the Astor collection and thought it wouldn't be so bad that I could live with it. It would be a whole lot better than pulling out my black Coach collection series wallet from my MK purse. But I didn't decide right away, so my mom and I perused through the store at the bags and shoes/sandals they had.

Then I came across the sunglasses section and took a peek at what style I could get. And I came across a pair that I absolutely adore. They look almost like the ones in the picture to the right but they were all black...but I'm also looking for a pair of brown ones too. My mom even liked them on me. So after being helped by Hannah with the sunglasses, I spotted a wallet...but only this one was in navy blue but looked like the exact one I wanted. Hannah let me know that it had come in black as well but they didn't have any in the store at the moment and they weren't sure what they would be getting in the next shipment. So what Hannah was so kind enough to do for me was to order in one from Montreal. So hopefully by mid week, I'll have in my possession the wallet that I want so much.

So, having left the store with nothing, we decided we would call it a day since the mall was closing at 6pm. Along the way, I stopped by at Bath and Body Works (they finally have it here in Canada! woohoo!) to look for a purse size hand cream in Black Berry and Vanilla scent. But they too didn't have what I was looking for. So, we finally were making our way to the parking when I decided to take a look at the MAC store to see the new Hello Kitty line of cosmetics they have for a limited time. When I was younger, I absolutely loved all things Hello Kitty. I would pick lots and lots of stuff from the Philippines that had anything to do with Hello Kitty...heck Sanrio for that matter! So I decided to pick up one of the blush po
wders and the finishing powder from the collection.

I'm absolutely in love with this line. I want to pick up a few more of the things they have. But it seems like it's such a popular Limited Edition line because even on the website (http://www.maccosmetics.ca/) things are already sold out! I want to pick up one of the cute Hello Kitty make up cases, one of the lipglass, oooo...and I so want to own the Limited Edition Hello Kitty compact that has the Kitty herself on the front made from Swarovski crystals! And I even saw that MAC had some Hello Kitty essential make up brushes that came in a cute Hello Kitty head container. And they have the cutest Hello Kitty compact mirror or mirror on a key chain! How cute is that?!? And on top of that if you purchase from the Hello Kitty line, they pack it for you in a Reusable Hello Kitty MAC bag!
That pretty much sums up my day and how I didn't realize how much of a girlie girl I am! Oh, and I can't wait until the warmer weather is here. It's pedicure season time soon and open toe shoes! Woohoo!
