It's That Time of Year

You can smell it.... Black Friday is COMING. THE biggest shopping day of the year. I live for this day (sad I know), me and my BFF Wayne plan for it every year, it's pretty much a tradish for us. We usually go to Waikele, leave at around 11 p.m. get there by midnight, shop til like 2 in the morning. I love the thrill of the hunt. This year though I've decided to take it easy, don't get me wrong, I'll be shopping Friday, but I'll be shopping more wisely going to places where I specifically saw things I'd like to buy as gifts.

Actually I'm about half done with my Christmas shopping, yes I'm one of those people who started their holiday shopping in July. I enjoy shopping for other people and finding that perfect gifts for loved ones. My mom says I could be a great personal shopper, give me your list, a budget, a little background on the people you are shopping for, and... I'll definitely find you the best deal in town.

Fashion, Politics, and Japanese Snacks

Our new First Lady got style. Last night she wore a dress from Narciso Rodriguez's spring 2009 collection, which just hit the runway 8 weeks ago! During the campaign trail Michelle Obama's fashion mixed affordable from H&M and J.Crew and designer pieces. It's been awhile since a First Lady had an impact on the fashion world, I can't wait to see what she'll choose to wear to the inaugural ball!!!!



Yesterday I went to Marukai, to stock up super cute Japanese snacks, and to look for Christmas Omiyage. And I found some Disney Pakkuncho (little biscuits filled with cream then stamped with your favorite Disney character)! OMG my sister and I used to LOVE these when we were little, our gramsy and auntie used to take us to Marukai and let us pick out one candy. We usually picked our candy based on the free toy that came with it but once in awhile we bought candy based on the taste, Disney Pakkuncho was one of them!
