Today's Photo: Punk Rock Stitch!



I just received this in the mail! I bought it for very cheap ($6) from a lovely member of Vinylmation Exchange! A big shout-out to Jenmarie who introduced me to this awesome group on Facebook! I've wanted this one since it first came out last year but my Disney Store never had them (only had the Daisy, Goofy, and Chip/Dale) so I never got to purchase him. This one has no flaws and I'm so thrilled I got him in 3 days and for so cheap! They're going for a few dollars more on eBay !

Friday Favorites: Random


 


HTC One - T-Mobile
Canon EOS M - Best Buy
Display Box - The Container Store

These are just a few things I've really been wanting lately. I kind of hate my phone (Windows phone...) right now so I've been looking into getting another one. The HTC One is highly praised and has a front facing camera, Android market, frontal stereo, and is small. I don't like big phones! I've been looking into getting a new camera and I really love the Canon EOS M! It's not too expensive and has a removable lens. The display box I want to display my favorite Vinylmations. I've heard that it's great and can hold up to 20 or so Vinylmations!

That's all~ just came back from the movies. I saw Star Trek Into Darkness and it was amazing! Better than the first and that's very rare.

Today's Photo: Girl in Yellow


Today's special photo of the day is something I received in the mail- what is it?

"Vinyl Circus"?

*gasps*

The Girl in Yellow!

The vinylmation I've been wanting since this series came out! This is my new favorite vinylmation! Isn't she the cutest? I'm almost done with the en Vogue series (sort of). I don't count the variants, so now I only need a few more from this series. The red flapper, Audrey Hepburn (girl in black), and the chaser! Not sure if I will buy the chaser, but we'll see.

I bought it from this seller on eBay. They are based in the U.S. so the shipping was fast. There were a few marks on her but that was expected. They sell a bunch of other vinylmations I want (and are no longer being sold) so that's pretty awesome!

Recent Purchases: Downtown!


These are the purchases I made last Friday! I don't know why I haven't posted about it yet haha... sorry! I went out to eat and shop with a couple of my closest friends and we had a blast! I bought things from my favorite stores- the Disney Store and Forever 21! But I also bought something from Wet Seal- did you know they actually have a bunch of cute things?

I also traded at the Disney Store for the first time. I gave up my Robots 3 Mickey duplicate for an Urban 5 Knight! I'll trade the Knight for someone else another time.

Stopped by the Disney Store and picked up a Whiskers & Tales vinylmation- I got Lucifer (from Sleeping Beauty). At first I was bummed but this little guy is a keeper 

These pairs of headbands from Forever 21 were only $3.50- I love pink and black! I now have way too many headbands 

This top was 60! Isn't that amazing? It was only around $5!

Friday Favorites: Pink & Glitter

Hello Kitty Hanging Organizer: Strawberry - Sanrio
Hello Kitty Adult Slippers: Strawberry - Sanrio
Revlon "Girly" Nail Polish - eBay

Simple Friday Favorites today. I've been wanting a hanging organizer for my clothes (I don't like drawers) and this one would be perfect! The slippers from the same Strawberry collection are so cute and I'd love to own them! I tried on the "Girly" nail polish at the store and was surprised with how much glitter it gave with one coat. I wanted to buy it but I figured I could find it cheaper online (and I did), so I will be purchasing it online soon.

Vinylmations: Myths & Legends and Robots 3

I received my vinylmations in the mail! Two Robots 3 and two Myths & Legends! They were securely packaged with bubble wrap and in a brown box (did you know that Disney changed their packaging? I love it more now!). 

Two of the vinylmation boxes


Here were the possibilities of what I could get! The chaser for M&L collection was a purple dragon with an expendable neck. The chaser for the Robots 3 collection was Goofy.

I received the Mickey one! It was my first duplicate- I purchased two Robots 3 vinylmations around two months ago and this is one of the one's I got. I wasn't too bummed (I can always trade or sell it) but my record of not getting a duplicated EVER was broken (I had 18 3in. and 4 Jrs.).

I was so stoked to get this one! I really wanted it! One of my favorite vinylmations I own to date!

Now for the Myths & Legends series...

I got the gnome! Isn't the hat adorable? I really wanted Medusa or the Mermaid but the gnome and big foot were one of the one's I wanted, so I'm happy!

Not gonna lie, I was pretty bummed about this one. I really wanted Medusa or the Mermaid! But it's okay... I may decide to trade this one if I see something I like in the trading box.

I do have a couple of complaints, sadly. My gnome vinylmation had a scratch on one of the ears (not cause by me) and the Winnie the Pooh had some strange sticker residue on it (which came off with warm water and a napkin). This is strange, since I haven't heard any complaints of defects on either series. It's fine, though. I'm not that crazed of a collector (yet, at least) to write the Disney Store an angry review. I'm still very happy with the items I got and will continue buying from the Disney Store (both online and in store).

Recent Purchases: Vinylmations, Lights, and Books!


Went to the mall and picked up yet another en Vogue vinylmation and yet another Goofy's Candy Co. vinylmation Jr. Was so lucky with my pulls! Finally got one of the girls! I was so ecstatic. I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened the GCC vinylmation but I was so happy with my pull! The gummy bear keychain was the one I wanted most out of every one available and I was beyond stoked when I opened it.

 her hair reminds me of mine! cutie!

cutie patootie!

Also, I stopped by Target and picked up a couple of things! Both John Green books I wanted were on sale and I opted for the cheaper one, Looking for Alaska. Starting to get things from my previous Friday Favorites!



I ordered 4 vinylmations for $21! If you collect vinylmations, you'll know this is a steal! They were all on clearance for $5.99. The Disney Store has a sale going on that will let you take off a bonus 40% off sale items, so the vinylmations were now $3.60! I bought two of the Myths and Legends and two of the Robots collection! I already have two from the Robots collection (Mickey and the White Rabbit) and one of the Myths and Legends (the Ogre).



For the M&L, I'm hoping for the mermaid, medusa, gargoyle, or gnome! For the Robots, I'm hoping for the alien, Mad Hatter, Pooh Bear, Minnie Mouse, or Tigger!


I received the best package in the mail on Saturday! I didn't expect to get it until early next week! As I have mentioned before, I pre-ordered the Siberia Acoustic (reviewed the album here) and today I received the physical CD copy and the SIGNED POSTER! Definitely need to get this framed!
Okay, so a story comes with this. I was not home since around 2:30pm because I went to a family party nearly an hour away. I had checked the tracking that morning and it had left Canada on the 2nd. I didn't expect it to come so fast since Canadian customs suck! We walked up to the door and my sister held up a package and told me I was lucky this wasn't stolen! UM, YEAH!

STOKED!!!



I also received my tiara ring from eBay, which I previously blogged about a couple of weeks ago. At first I thought it was bad quality (like what you get in a gumball machine) but it's not that terrible. Pretty great for 99 cents! It fits my ring finger perfectly but I just wanted to show my nails in the photo too 

cute, right?
