Guess where they came from :v:

Twill Paisley in charcoal, clover, coral, and wine. Almost as easy to work into an outfit as a simple solid color, but with more going on.

(Referral link)

That is a beautiful shade of coral.

I bought a bunch of popsicles:



These ones are Margaritaville branded, but there's no alcohol in them, so they're less margarita/daquiri/pina colada flavored as they are lime/strawberry/coconut. Whatever.



Paletas! I actually got these three flavors together in a pack, but I couldn't find a picture of it on the Michoacana website. The walnut ones are my favorite!

Non popsicle purchase of the week:

A present for my best friend, because she got some really lovely news a few days ago. I had originally wanted to get an arc reactor locket that I had seen on etsy, but every single one of them that I could find shipped from China, and I didn't feel like playing that game. This one is handmade, and the folks who run the shop were super nice when I emailed them the morning after placing my order because I suddenly realized that I had no memory of changing the shipping address from mine to my friend's.

Armani watch is bad because it charges a premium for Armani. People buy watches because A) they like it aesthetically B) prestige C) they get hard for dope movements. Armani is not prestigious when it comes to watches because they don't have the dope movements that give real watch brands prestigious reputations. The only legit reason would be because you like the look of it, which is a pretty poo poo reason to spend a load of money on a designer brand watch when you could probably get the real version it would be ripping off for a similar price.

Spending money because you like the way it looks is bad, got it.


I bought a new phone case because my old one had a crack and I liked the way this one looked.

Had a bunch of Birchbox points:

Caldrea perfume (I love this brand, all their poo poo smells so simple and pleasant). My favorite scent of theirs is the aloe water apricot but I already have a lotion in that scent.



These look awesome! I was going to say that I wish they had a sample pack so I could try out all three, but apparently the rollerballs are on sale right now, so I might just take the plunge on the coconut/fig one, that sounds really nice for summer!



I bought the OST for the original Battlestar Galactica movie last night, because I found the novelization of it a couple of years ago at a thrift store, and I thought it would be funny to have the matching set.

The boy's birthday is not for a few months, but I found these today while I was waiting for my friend to try on pants, and I couldn't resist. I actually haven't decided if I'm going to save them, or send them now as a "just because" gift.

FIV test for this pretty lady. All other adoption fees and costs were waived, since apparently the city animal services shelter has way too many cats right now, so they were having a special promotion. I get to bring her home on Monday!

Phone case for my phone. In reality, it's about 100 times brighter than in the picture, which is okay with me because bright coral is my favorite color.



Curvy Kate bra for my boobs! Not pictured: my boobs.



Comfy drapey sweatshirt for my torso, I guess?



Perfume samples for my skin. Obviously these are the full-sized bottles, pictures of actual perfume samples are super boring.

So goddamn warm and they breathe so you don't wake up covered in sweat but you're still warm. Like I can't stand being wrapped up in a down or poly filled comforter, even in the winter, but I could cocoon myself in this year-round. They come in other colors too. I wanted the one with different shades of brown stripes but I ended up selling it and this was the only one we had left at the store. There's a thow-blanket sized green one with blue stripe sitting around that I'm going to snag to keep in my car if it makes it to markdown time.

I found a vintage one at an antique store last week for $300. If I had had $300, I'd have bought it.

(Instead, I bought a bunch of old roadmaps and a vintage Boy Scout manual for various Christmas presents. I don't have pictures of any of them so you have to use your imagination.)

I went on vacation and spent a lot of money.



Valentines Day card for my boyfran, by Lauara Berger



Inspirational art by OrangeBeautiful. Both this and the card came from Modern Cooperative in Chicago, they are super nice and replaced a broken necklace that I got for Christmas with no hassle.



This shirt from H&M.



Books, because I'm the kind of idiot who buys books on vacation.



Cleo Neve, because it was $22 at Nordstrom Rack and I can't ever pass up bras that are that cheap and also my weird size.

Because, as a heterosexual male, I enjoy the scent of a woman.

I am not attracted to another male's scent.

I guess it all comes down to what/whom you are trying to attract.

Do you really think that every choice women make is entirely done to attract you, a heterosexual male?

I paid for this a few months ago when I backed JOY's latest EP, but the shirt just arrived today! Sorry not sorry for the instagram photo.



I also got these cute 'lil photo hangers from Target because I'm tired of the art situation in my bedroom, and I thought these would be an easy way to switch stuff out.

My wife has the same complaints and she's only a DD. Her other complaint is that barring ordering online or going to specialty stores, the only bras she can find that fit are either really boring or straight up looking like a bra for a 60 year old. The other problem is that she won't wear anything with any real padding because she doesn't need it. Suit jackets are tough on her because she's like a size 6 in the waist and a 12 when you have to fit her chest in.

You should treat your wife to a proper bra fitting because an actual DD cup isn't going to be that large on a size 6 frame. Also, there are loving loads and loads of cute bras for larger sizes, so long as you're not just shopping at like, Macy's.

I've tried to convince her of that, but she's really stubborn and doesn't seem interested in doing it. She's really weird about interacting with sales people in stores for some reason, which is odd because she's not a shy person at all. It's just people in stores.

Check out reddit's abrathatfits forum, or our own bra thread in ylls. You can do fittings at home! My brand recommendations are Cleo, Freya, and Tutti Rouge, they're always really cute like what you would find in Target (my favorite Freya bra is beige, but it's definitely not matronly), and Cleo and Tutti Rouge are pretty affordable!
