Finally! You're Mine!

I am in love with the Donut Tape Dispensors by 3M. These were only made for the Japanese consumer. There's an American version, but they come in weird bright colors like Teal and Magenta. The last time I was at the bookstore in my local Mitsuwa, they only had the Strawberry and Caramel. I went today and they had all 4 flavors. I was pretty tempted to get the Chocolate because it was a dark brown, AND it is also the only flavor that's translucent as opposed to being opaque.

Sweet Panda!

I received these in the mail today from Lindsay of Em & Sprout and Sick for Cute

And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE them. They're super cute and comfy!

At Your Local Japanese Bookstore

I went to Kinokuniya for the first time at Weller Court in Little Tokyo.
And I realized that I should go to japanese bookstores more often, considering there's one 5 minutes away from my house in Santa Ana in the Mitsuwa.

I picked up a copy of Fudge. They called themselves the "New Type Fashion Magazine for girls." I've forgotten just how freaking amazing Japanese fashion mags are! and naturally I picked this up because you know, I love military-inspired, fall/winter wear, and understated femininity.

Feast your eyes on some candy.















And the best part about this was that it only cost me $9.66 after tax, which is cheaper than most of the graphic design magazines I read.
