Makemechic.com

So yesterday I happened to stumble upon makemechic.com. It is exactly what it's web address suggests. It's an online clothing store that carries chic, affordable pieces. And yes, they are legit (did some Google research)!

As the summer slowly winds down and as back-to-school (or in my case, college) shopping commences, I have been looking for a pair(s) of boots perfect for the chillier weather up in San Francisco. My thing with boots though is that I have to absolutely adore them, but they also have to be affordable. Forever21 and Wet Seal have some great boots, but I'm looking for more...and then there was makemechic.com. It has an unbelievably huge selection of boots. The only downfall is that they might not carry your size. Boots cost roughly anywhere from 20 to 30-something dollars, which is perfect for any college girl's budget.

They also have a Sale section, so definitely check that out because the shoes are super cheap there! And they're also offering free shipping on any order over $50. Yay for sales and discounts!

Here are some of my favorite boots:


1. Akemi74 Slouchy Ankle Boots Black ($20.35)
2. Reva2on Slouchy Mid-Calf Boots Ivory ($21.00)
3. Toby Studded Mid-Calf Boot Brown ($26.95)
4. Key44 Studded Over Knee High Boot Brown ($34.00)
5. Candies15 Ruched Buckled Mid-Calf Boot Pearl ($22.00)
6. Kalisa29 Studded Mid-Calf Flat Boot Brown ($25.45)

Even though all I've been talking about are boots, there are other things that they carry like accessories, tops, dresses, and they have some really cute jackets. They also have some amazing sandals! So, check out the website and have fun shopping! ^_^

Bachelorette Season Finale: Recap and Thoughts

So, Ali chose Roberto. Shocker? Ehhh, you could kind of see it coming. I will admit that I'm not the hugest Roberto fan (Chris is so much better), but I'm really happy for them. They seem like a really great couple and I hope that it lasts. After the show, I actually ended up Googling them (gotta love the Internet) and there are rumors out there that Roberto will leave Ali, so let's hope that's not true!

And what about that rainbow? Where in the world did that come from? Seriously, it was like straight out of a sappy romance drama (Charlie St. Cloud comes to mind?). Ughh, it was so sad when Ali let Chris go early, but I do entirely support her decision and Chris took it so well (he's such a good guy!).

The After the Rose was sadly, uneventful. Frank didn't show up, surprise, surprise! You know, I used to like Frank despite his whole Charlie Brown wishy-washiness, but now I think we all know that he's just a coward. Then when Ali came out to talk to Chris, it was of course, extremely sweet with no bad feelings between them. Awww... All in all, it was probably one of the nicer After the Rose shows, but rather boring at the same time. -sigh-

Well, that about raps up another season of the Bachelor/Bachelorette. And just in case you were wondering... Yes, I will be watching the Bachelor Pad! Yay for more trashy reality TV guaranteed to rot your mind! =P

19 Days!

Until college move-in! Whoo! I can definitely say without a doubt that I am pumped for college! Of course there is that small part of me that is a little nervous, but who cares? Let the college count-down begin!

For all those who have been following me on Twitter and DeviantArt probably know that I will be attending UC Berkeley this fall. I'll be dorming in a triple in the building that used to be a school for the deaf and the blind. And according to Wikipedia (who cares about possible false info?), a boy hung himself in one of the underground tunnels there and strange things happened to the patients and that's why they moved the school. Spooky...

I still have a lot of pre-college shopping to do and I have yet to find out my roommates, but we're supposed to find out this week, so I'm really excited about that!

Enjoy the picture of Berkeley that I took in my dorm room where I was staying for orientation (it's not where I'll be staying for the school year)! =]

Digital Art

Here's a little look at what I've been up to. I've been moving away from traditional media (paint, pencil, etc.) and trying to get into more digital work. This was my latest work featuring a cute little chubby penguin! I hope you guys enjoy it and to see more, take a look at my DeviantArt. Right now, I'm working on a new piece (there's a cupcake involved!). I'm not sure when I'll finish, but it might not be for awhile since I'll be going to college in a few weeks and there is much pre-college shopping to be done! I have new flan charms to update my Etsy shop with along with some old items that still need to find a home, so look out for an Etsy update in the next few weeks before I'm off for college.

Summer 2010

Wow, I haven't blogged in literally a year. But now I'm back! I'll keep this short and simple, so here are some updates on my summer:

• I'm currently living in California.
• In less than a month, I'll be attending the University of California-Berkeley. Whoo!
• I made a Tumblr. Check it out here: http://summersmagic.tumblr.com/ It's filled with pretty pictures and some inspirational stuff just for my personal use.
  
• My Etsy shop has been empty for awhile. Since uprooting my entire room and moving it to California, I still haven't settled in plus I'll be moving to college soon, so I think it's pretty useless unpacking everything at this point and then packing it up again in a few weeks.
  
• I've done absolutely nothing productive this summer, and I'm proud of it but apparently, my parents don't agree.
  
• If you follow me on DeviantArt, I've actually updated with some new digital artwork -gasp-! Yep, I've finally decided to explore the digital side of the art world.

Etsy Finds: Ice Cream

Sorry that you guys haven't heard from me in a while. I've been SO SO SO busy with art camp! After coming home everyday from spending 7 hours at the studio (6 of those which are spent drawing), I am completely wiped and don't feel like doing anything so I usually fix dinner and crash in front of the TV until it's time for me to go to sleep. Some days, I don't even feel like getting online so I've hardly had time to update and make new things. The only time that I do have to update is during weekends, so I bring you a new Etsy Finds on this fine Saturday afternoon! I hope you all enjoy this one as it will satisfy your sweet for the classic summer treat: ice cream!
