home sweet home

hello, i'm back! how's everyone been? did i miss any groundbreaking news?

i've got nothing much to show and tell about my trip. well it's just so expected of me. to forget to pack in the most important thing when one goes travelling: the camera charger. i did pack it in but i somehow left it behind when i did a bit of re-packing before heading out. i also forgot the sunblock. anyway, it was so cold i don't think i'd have taken the trouble to snap pictures. time was also a limited resource. my friend has her cam with her but i didn't really wanna bother her. she's still in tokyo. i'd have liked to stay one more day but i couldn't get on any flight back until next tuesday.

my vintage western fringed boots arrived while i was away. they fit just right. there're lots of western boots in tokyo. i wasn't drawn to them much for a few reasons (at least i'd like to think so!)  it's really unusual for me not to buy numerous pairs of shoes when i travel. i guess i wasn't looking for yet another pair of high -cuffed boots that'd be neglected until colder weather. i also prefer handsome ankle boots that don't cost the bank. i saw a pair of margiela-like faded cowboy boots on a girl in the kinokuniya store on my last day. i'd have liked to buy that altho i'm not sure i know how to make them work here. i chanced upon a shop selling used vintage shoes when i was in Ueno. thinking back, i'm really impressed by my restraint, lol.

these're the only shoes i bought. i almost didn't. they're studded. they're white. there's a cute heart that i didn't notice until now (serious). they're on sale. i bought the oddest things during this trip, lol.

the socks are my best buys (i hope). you might recall that i've forever been looking for a certain type of socks. and i think i found them! now i only gotta be concerned about the type of shoes that'd be perfect with them... i really am avoiding acquiring more shoes. as you can see, i've been a good girl :P

i love these looks so much, amongst many others in the collection. i want to be so very girlie after all (nothing translucent for me, though).

ok, that's all for now. when i blog again, i suspect it'll be very choppy like this post.
