After all my hard work I have decided to reward myself with some shopping. I can't really afford to go on a super shopping spree, but I am working on replacing broken stuff or things that ran out.
First up is this 'Hello Kitty' bag. At first I felt the design was a bit cringe-worthy, but it has grown on me since. Although I don't go on trips often, I found that I do need a big enough bag with a zipper from time to time. I would always try and stuff things into summer totes, but in winter it's just not going to work.
The bag is very basic with only one huge compartment and a small pocket at the top. Also has tiny side pockets. It was 50% off, and at less than a thousand yen I will probably not find anything cheaper.
While trying to find the bag, I stumbled onto some mirrors. I had a pretty fancy Clinique foldable mirror, given to me by Shiv. But, being the incredibly clumsy person that I am, I broke it. I couldn't find a good enough replacement, so I've stuck with it for a year.
Yeaaaah, I'm pretty relaxed about this sort of stuff. I still hope I can replace the mirror part and clean it up a bit.
Anyway, here's the mirror I bought. It's about ¥970 and super pink and sparkly. It was the least sparkly one I could find. But it was the right size and not too flimsy.
Another broken thing is my little comb. All my hairbrushes come from the 100yen shop, but recently my hair got very long and tangly so I decided to upgrade. From this.
I guess pink is a basic colour in Japan. There are not too many choices. However, this totally matches my new mirror, so I am very happy.
There were some other small things I bought for the coming up trip - small cream containers, make-up wipes, etc. not that interesting :)
Some weeks ago I happened upon some skirts for ¥190 at g.u. I think they cost much more before, but since it's last year's stock they were priced down quite a lot. Here are some pics from the g.u. website.
That's about it for now. I'm hoping to get some more much needed items in the coming weeks.
