I still don't have a picture of my new hair. Yes, I know, I know! It'll be up next time. Sorry about that :3
But I went thrift shopping with a friend and got a few new amazing things! If anyone out there doesn't thrift, do it. Trust me. You can find so many lovely things out there that no one else will have and it barely costs you anything.
Goodwill
I liked Pretties enough when I read it to add it to my shelf. I mean, what's 99 cents really? And that thing takes plastic surgery to a whole new level.
Through Violet Eyes is something I've never read before. The summary states that there are people with violet eyes (Ok, who saw that coming?) who can expose the face of a murderer and someone is killing them off. Oh, what the hell. *Throws in cart*
Unwind was also pretty enjoyable. Abortion has been outlawed, but when teens turn a certain age their parents can have them "unwound" (taken apart for your organs) and it's not considered murder because the organs "live on" through the people that need them. Yeah, that makes sense.
I also found The Silence of the Lambs which is one of my all time favorite books, but I already lent it out to someone so no picture.
This bow tie belt was $1.99! and it's got SPIKES. :D
This bracelet was actually hidden deep in the purse bin. Alexis and I had ransacked everything else and decided to dig around. Normally I would be all like "The pink! The pink! It BURNS!" but it was really cute and only $1.99.
I don't actually know what this is supposed to be...but I saw polka dots and snatched it up for 99 cents. I need another blazer, one with a chest pocket, preferably red or black. Once I locate one I think I'll stick this in the pocket.
This dress. is. AMAZING. I nearly left it on the rack but Alexisforced persuaded me to try it on and I grabbed it because it was only $10.
Dots
Ok, Dots isn't really a thrift store, but we raided it so it's going on the list. This pretty scarf was $5.
I left behind a red blazer and now I'm beating myself up over it. I thought I should put the money to another scarf, tie, and necklace, but now that I have that polka dot thing...*sigh* I'm a miser and it was $20...but....WHY DIDN'T I BUY IT?? It made me feel like a ringmaster. <3
I'm going to jump onto the "popular vampires" bandwagon and admit that I absolutely loooove the Vampire Diaries. It's one of my guilty pleasures. The finale was beyond what I would have expected and here are some of my thoughts. Warning: spoilers and possible fangirling ahead.

- Elena is a complete bitch to Damon. The poor guy loves her and is obviously the superior choice...
- Stefan should crawl in a hold and die. He's seriously pathetic. GET AWAY FROM ELENA. SHE DOESN'T NEED MORE ANGST.
- Didn't we just get rid of Klaus last episode? Is he seriously back already?
- Oops, Elena's a vampire. Well, that sucks.
- Elijah is back! Oh how I've missed him and his fancy clothes. I miss his old, oddly endearing haircut...

| I loved that floppy hair... |

| It's Ok, we forgive you. You still look good ;) |
Anyone else notice how much they LOVE to kill characters off in that show?
Great haul. I've never heard of "Unwound" but it sounds like a really good story. :)
ReplyDeleteLove Scott Westerfield novels - the Uglies series was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am envious of that pink cuff - you're Goodwill is STOCKED. xD
Have you read his new series, the one that begins with Leviathan? I love the whole steampunky feel to that trilogy. ^^ And yeah, I've been pretty lucky with thrift shops down here. It takes some digging, but I normally come out with some lovely new things and I don't feel guilty about spending money :)
