What I Got In The Mail Today

Thanksgiving holiday made me extremely lazy. I had gotten a lot of rest over the weekend  and met up with some friends. I also went to see Crystal Castles' DJ set at One Eyed Gypsy, a bar in downtown LA. Let's just say I don't even remember a single thing Crystal Castles played that night but it was a really fun and interesting night!

Black Friday came and left. I found myself at the mall but I wasn't up for going crazy with the crowd. I find a lot of my deals online anyways, like what I got in the mail today.

Look what I got in the mail today!
The Dolica ST-500 68" Tripod I got from Amazon! It comes with a 67" monopod and camera bag too but those will be shipped to me when they get back stock. I got it only for a mere $27.

And it's taller than me!!!

Creepers for Keeps

It finally arrived!

After much thought, I decided on these new kicks. I've seen much more (colorful) designs in Asian stores online but the sad part was that it's not easily available here in the US. Shipping costs and time would have been too troublesome. This T.U.K. creeper design I believe is from an older season and is probably discontinued since I was able to browse through the T.U.K. catalog in a shop in Bellflower and neither Fall 2011 or Spring 2012 had this. I was quite disappointed because I really liked the lace trimming on it. I found it online at Endless and was happy to find out that they had some sizes still. I'm such an Amazon fangirl. Endless is affiliated with Amazon. They offer free two-day shipping both ways and they don't charge tax to California. Aside from free shipping and no tax, they treat their customers well, just as I'd expect from Amazon. Let's just say I was misinformed about the sizing that I had to return my first pair and order again (they don't do exchanges, only refunds which come 2-3 weeks later) that the next customer representative gave me a promotional certificate/discount. All that trouble saved me some money at least, and I'm very satisfied with the service I got as well as the shoe itself!

The shoes are pretty hard and heavy. The hardness of the leather will eventually be better after wearing it quite a bit., I don't think the weight will change though. I was even raising my legs up and down trying to exercise my legs and turn them into some sort of  leg weights! (^_^)'
