Sennheiser HD201 Lightweight Over-Ear Binaural Headphones
Over the ear headphones for me has been way overdue and I finally got these for a very good price. They are not completely noise canceling but that doesn't bother me much since I live in a pretty quiet place. The sound quality is very nice and bass is booming but isn't all up in thur.
· $22.19 from Amazon
impulsebuyer I've heard good things about these cans... I'd be curious to hear how they compare to the Bose or Beats counterparts... Have you tried those?
fleshmusic I have never tried bose but I have tried beats but only in the store. In comparison these are not noise canceling for the listener or the people around you if you play music loud. Of course, it is not like it doesn't cover any noise it's just the beats are incredible at doing that. And the bass I feel could be better but if you turn up the volume it is alright. Oerall, I think it is very good bang for your buck. (;
michaelaking my industry there is an old saying "no highs, no lows it must be bose" haha

sennheiser make very good headphones and at 22 dollars they are what like a quarter of beats and bose.
fleshmusic They were actually originally $30 but they dropped to $22 during a certain period of time on regular Amazon. I think they do this price change once in a while you just have to wait for it.
Solid Bow Ring
aaahh!! How can you say no to this?
drpepper234 Ah thats is super cute.
amyuhrich I have incredible willpower. But seriously, it's very cute :)
Truly Madly Deeply Boxy Tee
So I hav ebeen looking for the right boxy tee that comes with the right price for the longest time and had been keeping my eye on one from nastygal but it was like.. $30 a shirt which is over my porr little student budget sooo when I saw this for only $10 on Urban I grabbed two! White and gray because unfortunately they were out of my size in black );
Boxy tees are so simple and comfortable but can make you look dressed up and are very easy to accessorize. I'm in love.
amyuhrich Are you talking about Nasty Gal's bamboo scoop top that I gave a glowing review to and essentially promote at every turn? Because I LOVE that one :) But yeah, $10 is a great deal! Is the material soft? Is the white as sheer as it looks in the photo?
Cooperative Multi Flap Turnlock Satchel
Okay so... this is just what I needed. perfect brown bag for me!
drpepper234 That was only 20 bucks? wow that is nice.
amyuhrich Very nice! I like the unisex style. Was this on sale?
beverlynoelle I love this! How large is it?
fleshmusic yes it was on sale! The dimensions are 13"l, 3"w, 9.5"h
Sparkle & Fade Cropped Dolman Sweatshirt
I once saw a picture of audrey hepburn in a green and gray striped sweater and I thought oh gosh she looks so beautiful. And of course it's not the shirt that made her look like that but ever since I've been wanting one just like that and what can I say? I found it! On Urban Outfitters for only $14.99. sigh it was meant to be. Audrey I love you<3
· $14.99 from Urban Outfitters

amyuhrich Love the story :) Cute sweater; I love the cropped hem.
beverlynoelle Only $15?! That is awesome! Do you look like Audrey now? :D
Urban Decay Naked Palette
Ahh!! I finally got this! Sadly it is with the brush not the double ended eyeliner but it is a nice brush so (;.
Needless to say the colors are amazing. There is some glitter fallout but nothing that can't be fixed with some dusting off with a clean makeup brush.

Cool Story Bro, Tell it again T-Shirt
Pkay so who doesn't love a cute simple crewneck? Okay maybe you don't but I love crewnecks. They are comfy, warm and you don't have to deal with a retarded hood which many of my big comfy sweaters seem to have. In addition to the comfort, it says 'Cool Story Bro, tell it again'
how cute is that? And funny(;
A good conversation starter actually.
William Rast for Target® Twill Jacket in Khaki SApparel
This jacket was such a steal! The length is a bit cropped and there is ruching on the sleeves, the front and the back. Flattering and I love the button neck detailing. Military-esque and versatile. Very glad I bought this.
· $15.74 from Target
amyuhrich That's a great price! Is the color the same as the photo?
fleshmusic yes! It is the same but looks way better on and in person definitely.
beverlynoelle So cute! Is it cropped? Can't tell from the photo!
fleshmusic Yes it is a bit cropped(;
Angry Birds Rio
So if you are an angry birds addict or have been, this game is a easier version. Instead of killing off evil pigs you set caged birds free and so far it has been easier to get them free than it had to get rid of evil snorting pigs.
Xhilaration Dark Brown Tertia Heeled Oxford - 6Apparel
I already own a pair of black oxford heels but those heels are at least 4 inches tall and do hurt after a while of walking. So these are the perfect alternative when I'm not feeling up to beauty pain. Just received them today and they are adorable! The heel height is just about 2.5" so I know I won't have to worry much about pain. And they were only $10!! What's not to love?
Can't wait to wear them this spring break!
· $10.48 from Target
amyuhrich Wow, what a price! Were they on sale? I don't buy much inexpensive footwear these days, because it tends to be cheaply made, but I haven't tried anything from Target. How do these far? Are the insoles cushioned? Do they dig into the foot at all?
fleshmusic Yes they were on sale and I got lucky because they only had my size left. I haven't worn them out yet but they are lightly cushioned and no digging in yet but that has yet to be tested out since I haven't worn them out. I will get back to you on that.
amyuhrich I meant to say 'How do these FARE' up there :) Oops. Please do tell when you get a chance!
Fringe - Marionette
I just started watching Fringe over winter break with my sister and I've got to say it is one of the most interesting creative tv shows I've seen. They things they come up with are sometimes incredible and I can't believe this show isn't more popular.
· tv episode "Marionette" from Hulu

drpepper234 This episode freaked me out a lot. When he is making her dance. Creepy.
fleshmusic I know! I was so speechless when she started to breathe.
Aerie Double Stripe Tanga
Aerie is seriously my favorite place to get underwear. Most comfortable and they fit me just right. And they have the cutest designs ever!
amyuhrich Good to know. Hey, $3 isn't bad! Is that a sale price?
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Duo ($45 Value) Sugar Lip Treatment Duo
I got jipped! I totally thought these were full sized and I just couldnt believe how cheap it was but of course they are these extremely mini versions of the originals. Gave one to my sister.
I still love it though and when you want to splurge a little and give your lips the princess treatment you should invest in one of these. They are seriously the softest most moisturizing great things ever. It's almost like water on your lips when you first try it on.

BDG Letterman Cardigan
Perfect to throw on when my brain has gone on the fitz on what to wear for the day. Very comfy and good material.
amyuhrich I hate those days. Or love them. I haven't decided yet. Really cute cardigan; I like the sleeves-rolled-up look.
Foil Pattern Mini
Can't wait to go out clubbing or a crazy party with this cute mini!!

Lace Insert Romper
Omg this has got to be one of the cutest rompers I've purchased. The cute meshyness in the front gives a sexy tease vibe while the three adorable bows on the back show your cute girly side. I absolutely love this. Only con would be that it is kind of a hassle to take off. But oh well it's worth it(;
· $19.89 from Forever 21
gkruis I've never been described as pixielike.
gkruis I wish I could wear something called a romper... but I don't think I want to wear what is currently defined as a romper, if you understand what I mean. Although, I don't know for sure what a romper is.
amyuhrich Got it. A romper is essentially a top with (usually rather short) shorts attached. It's like a summer onesie for big (but not too big, I would guess) people.
gkruis Yeah. I guess rompers for men would be... coveralls? No matter what, I appreciate the name.
chrismolnar gabe, just romp and be free.
gkruis You're right. Who needs clothes to romp?
Chain Glove Bracelet
This I am definitely glad I purchased. It is so unique and just so cool.
Have yet to wear it but I can't wait! It was a bit difficult to figure out how it would go on my hand when I first got it but now that I've figured it out its very simple.
amyuhrich I think I saw this one online. Big fan of chain jewelry myself! Does it wear pretty much like a bracelet?
fleshmusic This was actually a bit tricky to figure out how to wear. I want to say that it is part bracelet and part ring. But once you figure it out its something you dont forget(;
amyuhrich Oh, right, so it's like a hand harness (couldn't see it in the photo). I have one like that but mine is simpler and might be less complicated :)
Triple Finger Rings
I get compliments on this ring almost everytime I wear it. It gives a little edge to any outfit I wear. And it goes with practically every everyday outfit and when you just want to have a little fun.
amyuhrich Love these! I have a few two-finger rings myself; I worry that the sizing and fit would be a little more awkward with three. Do you find it awkward to write or anything? Also, what size did you get, and how does it fit your fingers (are the holes all pretty much the same size, or one size larger in the middle, or what)? The thing I hate most about buying these rings is that they almost never tell you the exact sizes of each finger hole.
fleshmusic Yes these do not fit perfectly but I find that I like that about it since it is a three finger ring it is more restricting so the extra space gives you some freedom to move the ring around. I wear it on my left hand since I am right handed so it doesn't bother me much.
amyuhrich Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not always logical like that :) What size did you get? Do they size it based on your ring finger? My ring finger is a 7, while my index and middle fingers are both an 8. I always worry about how these will fit.
amyuhrich @heiditron Leather armbands with metal hardware make me feel like a superhero, too. The difference is, you ARE a superhero.
UO Heart Tight
These are it.
The tights you will love that will complete that one outfit you have that needs that little extra something.
Easy to add to an outfit and great for when you're feeling girly cute(:
KateeCat CUTENESS. I love tights, I bought some a couple weeks ago and had to return them because they started splitting right when i put them on for the first time. I'm still not sure if I can bring myself to get another pair.
fleshmusic they have cute little hearts on them! And no sparkly just black(; They are a bit pricey especially since I was used to buying tights from forever21 and hnm but they are worht it(;
amyuhrich No matter how popular this kind of tight is I can't not love it. Hearts are the ESSENCE of love, duh! So cute. I don't mind paying $12 for tights as long as I know they'll last (like the opaque microfibers at We Love Colors; so thick and stretchy!). I don't have much experience with sheer tights, though, so I'd be wary of these and others with a low denier. How have they held up? Do they snag easily or anything?
fleshmusic I love sheer tights! Most of my tights are sheer tights. These have held up very nicely so far but then again I have been very careful with them considering the price and cuteness factor.
Other sheer tights I have purchased at Urban such as their basic black sheer tights, which are ~$10 a pair, have not been so great. Which sucks because I love them so much);
fleshmusic Oh and I've never heard of we love colors. I gotta check it out.
amyuhrich Thanks for the info. It's possible I'll want sheer tights at some point, so I'm always looking for good options. We Love Colors is the best if you want opaque tights (or fishnets), since they have 50+ colors in every style and a few funky patterns. I used to buy the $8 tights from them, and they're good, but they do tend to lose their shape (ie. sag in the knees) more quickly than the microfiber ones (which are apparently dance quality). I also love their knee highs for summer :)
