Super fun day with joyce-san (haha sorry, joycie...somehow i just find that a really cool name to say now). We went for lunch on a patio and then headed over to find some stuff for room redecorating. We started off looking for stuff for her but haha along the way I realized that my room is seriously REALLY uncoordinated. Actually, more to the point, *I'm* really uncoordinated. Also, shopping can be really fun!

So here's where the 'girl' side of me starts coming out. It's also the weird side of me that gets really happy when I find stuff I like at IKEA. The sad/funny thing is that all I bought today was a bowl and 2 plates from IKEA and some lotion, shampoo, conditioner from shoppers. (liked the body butter from body shop but it was a little more expensive and i'm not sure if it works for me since i'm pretty choosey when it comes down to skin products :)) But, the sadder thing is that i was SUPER excited over my new bowl! haha Course, now i'm on a mission to at least get me some nicer linens so my bed doesn't look too third grade (mind the little pink and blue animals hiding behind flowers on my comforter..), mixed with some random orange bed sheet and cream-off-white pillow shams. yes, as you can see, i really don't belong here :) Interestingly enough, i think i've gone quite zen since the colors i've chosen are a clay brown with cream or grey-purple pillow shams alongside my egg-shell white dishes. it seems very plain and simple but I like it that way. :) And here we begin my little (very little) room redecoration scheme...

so, I hope you're happy, joycie --- this is ALL YOUR FAULT! :)

Oohhh...also still hoping to catch summerlicious -- looking for good recommendations! Anyone? ;)
