so yeah... i bought loads of things ever since new years... i couldnt help myself.. in japan they have these magical "fukubukuros" which means lucky bags in english...福袋 its a beautiful concept! like fof the first two weeks of new year, all shops are obliged to sell them.. put random things inside these sealed bags and sell them for lowered prices... and every new year thousands rush to malls queuing, pushing, forgetting all manners and propriety because... shopping is survival mode now... each woman for herself? i guess it could be compared to UK's boxing day sales? sometimes the things inside are actually worth a WHOLE lot more than what you would normally pay them for.. so yeah.. it was beautiful..
I was literally on a high during those times... rushing to shops where attendants were screaming "time sale" buy two items and you get an additional discount of 20%.. oh the adrenaline rush...
LOL! looks rather similar to last year and the year before.. and the year before that.. (pfft!)
i had no money to save in jan.. ;(
there was a sale in ZARA!so right... i started the year.. with supposed "resolutions"... i dont know if i did well or not.. i dont believe i bought a lot of things... i bought things that were cheap.. no more ridiculously absurd prices for simple things.... if anything.. its my electricity bills.. dang it! winter hurts... last month i had to pay 11000yen... DAYUMMMMMMMMMM
the oddities that i fell in lust for.. hehehe
cute house slippers which help "mop" the floor as you walk.. EHEHE keeps feet warm too!
a pretty pretty coat!
wabi socks! (socks for the japanese slippers?) these contemporary designed socks.. some of them are even featured in MoMA awesome no!?
the new headphones.. of the old ones died... ive been cycling around with only one function-able (left) earphone.. and occasionally when the wires are aligned(?!) the right earphone would slip back to action... and then fade out again... god dont you hate it when that happens?!
the boots that ive always wanted! like the sketchers.. but with heels! ahh love~
FUKUBUKURO #1
ah.. this is one PRIME example of a fukubukuro.. i bought all this for 10000yen! isnt that just a bargain.. there were more freebies but i was too lazy to retrace where i placed them.. and i know that the perfumes arent exactly the hottest things at the moment.. but thats a SHIT load of perfume eitherways... and i havent opened anyone of them yet!
this is a small portion of my ZARA haul... usually 12900 for the red blazer, i got it for 3900.. usually 15800 for them pumps.. i got them for 3900 too.. i got two other shirts and pants for 990 each! i wanted to buy another jacket.. but my friend had already bought it.. and i felt queasy about buying something that someone you knew already bought... i wore the boots today.. and FUCK my feet are crying... i was in a mall just now looking for books, and asian food materials.. but halfway, i crashed... my feet could not take another step... so i cycled home without much things.. sniff sniff.. the things we do for heels..
FUKUBUKURO #2
this set and more... (i didnt take pics of the scarves) is another example of a fukubukuro that i fell prey too.. the bag alone is 30000yen, but... in the fukubukuro.. all the pics above became 10000yen! haha oh and the golden thingymajig up there.. its a tube.. HAHAHAHA how random is that?! im thinking of wearing it as an awfully shiny and obscenely SHORT mini skirt.. hahaha after winter has gone... 
other than that... ive been purchasing reading materials.. for my research, for my studies, for my vanity, for ME!loves,
