We're suppose to be Bo Peep and her sheep.  We were both pretty sick the week prior so I think that made my costume take a big hit!  By the time I got out to do some shopping I couldn't find a suitable wig or anything that would resemble a bonnet.  So my apologies for the poor excuse of a costume.  On my part, that is :P.  But at least we didn't miss out on the festivities!

Dress ~ Target
Apron ~ Mom's closet
Tights ~ Leg Avenue @ Party City
Mary Janes ~ Anne Klien @ DSW
"Shepards Crook" ~ a contraption we made from a much smaller cane and painting extension and a lot of tulle to make it one color.

This year we spent most of our time at church.  Dinner, activities, and "Trunk or Treat."  This was my first year to do this and had no idea what it was.  Everyone just hands out candy from thier trunks in the church parking lot.  Such a great idea for the little ones.  I should have asked someone what it was b4 then.  I think we were the only ones that didn't hand out candy.  Oops!  Slightly embarrassing, but I know for next year.  :P

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!  And thanks for looking!

So a fellow Kaboodler has suggested a few times that my daughter should get her own WIW blogzine.  I've always been a little weary about doing it because:
1.  She's a toddler, who but me is going to care?  Is what she's wearing noteworthy?
2.  The hubby doesn't want her face plastered all over the internet for safety issues, and
3.  I don't read very many blogzine entries so it would be retarded for me to ask people to read mine, right?

We'll I think I'm overcoming all of those with a recent purchase:  a 4T Juicy Couture jacket!  I know what you might be thinking:  "What?!  A Juicy Couture jacket for some kid?!"  My answer:  "YES!"  But I didn't pay retail, or even a "sale" price.  This jacket was new with tags and retails for $245.  I got it for $64.something  with shipping! 

Now I think that some may be asking "Where?"  Answer:  www.shopgoodwill.com.  I didn't think that I would find anything like this there, but I did!  $65 is a little steep for us to pay for a jacket that she may not be able to wear next year (especially when Target has a super cute one for $24), and it maybe last year's model, but for a rare gem like this, I'm telling myself that she's worth it.  :)

p.s.  In that last picture I asked her if I could take a picture of her and she replied with "You can take a picture of me doing this."  I like it because it shows her pink, glittery shoes that we bought at Target.com.  She won't stand still long enough for me to get a good one of them :P

My spin on the oh so popular ilykthx blogazine post.  (p.s.  the third pic was taken by my two-year-old.  That's why it was taken from so low.  Pretty good photog though, eh?)

How tall are you?
5’ 3-ish”

What is your shoe size?
8 ½, after baby :-/

What color is your hair?
Black, with reddish brown streaks and highlights.

What is your ethnicity?
About 50% Filipino, ~25% Chinese, ~25% Spanish, and the other "about" is a mix of a lot of other things (so my mother tells me).  But I call myself Filipino (the majority.  Duh, right?).

Style:

What is your favorite online shopping website?
Kaboodle, duh! ;)  I try to always checkout retailmenot.com to see what kind of super coupons I can get.  I got my daughter's toy kitchen, which retailed for $200+) for 90-some dollars with that sites help!
 
How would you describe your style?
I love fancy things but am really a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl.  Though I love big hair, heavy makeup, and cute clothes, I rarely have the time, energy and/or budget for it.

What's your favorite shoe style?
Flip flops.  Easy on and off, and no socks required (I say "required" because we all know that some people still wear them.  Hence, flip flop socks).  Plus, I love clothes but actually hate being fully dressed.

K Lists:

Which list would you say you add to the most?
My Rhapsody in Plume list is the longest but I think I'm pretty much done with that one.  It was kind of a binge.  But, though my Style & Fashion - Dresses is shorter, it seems that I find things to add to it on a regular basis.

Which of your lists is your personal favorite?
Gosh, that's hard to say since I have so many that I love.  But my top three faves are:  Better World, If I Had a Buzzillion Dollars, Sensitive Girls (& Boys) (it got me into the Gloss Kit).

What is your one pet peeve in lists?
Extremely long lists.

What do you always make sure to do with your lists?
Put the items in the correct list.  If not, they go in my Misc . . . list to get organized later.


Favorites:

What is your favorite food?
I love sushi and sashimi!  Though, if I eat too much of it, it does weird things to me. :(

What is your favorite drink?
A good mango lassi.  YuUm!  From the restaurants though.  I can't seem to make them as good at home. 

What is your favorite color?
I'm a hot pink kinda girl.  Though not too much of what I own is in that color.  I like to wear warmer colors (I read that it's suppose to compliment my skin tone :P)

What is your favorite dessert?
Chocolate Fondue.  I could eat it by the spoonful!

5 Random Facts (plus some)
1. When I was about three-ish, I got into my mother's purse and sprayed pepper spray on me, thinking it was perfume.  Not fun.
2. I was in the US Navy for almost 9 years and think I had a pretty successful run at it.
3. I was the first female Coal-fired Boiler "Control Operator" (they sit in the Control Room monitoring different parameters for a power plant) in the mid-west.  Or so they told me (people seem to tell me a lot of things, but I don't really have any confirmation of it :P).
4. Finding my spirituality/spiritual side is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.
5. My husband is a foot taller than I am.

6.  I completely relate to the awkwardness in My So Called Life and Napoleon Dynamite.  In high school and now.
7.  I'm jealous of the people that can keep up with all of their Kaboodle requests, comments, and such.
