[BellaSoleil]

Thanks for the shout out, Emma! I'm wearing my Uggs today as a matter of fact.

I think the little ballet flat Crocs are super cute!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Love the Croc update, Emma!! They have a kiosk (spelling?) in a mall close to hear of Crocs, I really think I want the ballet flat looking ones....don't know the Croc name but think they are cute and you could wear them with pretty much anything, I would think. Btw, Love the Ugg pic, too!! As I am a BellaSoleil reader, too!

We think too much alike! LOL!

There is a Croc store at MCO! Or, at least there was last time I was there ... can anyone confirm?

YES...there is!!! Limited and sold out of regular sizes when we were there last, too! If you wear a BIG size you're in luck.

Love your report...we did the land/sea in 2001...didn't care for Nassau. We loved the cruise so much...we only do 7 day ones now...3 days was too short. I would love to do the Med. ones in 2010. My dream is on one the igaugural cruises of the new ships in 2011 or 2012.

Hearing that your Mom packer her shoes away made me laugh...My Mom packed her pjs...luckily the store was still open, she had to buy some new ones...we still remind her each time now.

Cool! Yeah, I love H&M...especially all the bright colors. And lol, that's fun you'll be getting boots for Christmas! Are Uggs as big in England as they are here? Here, every other girl on campus is wearing them (or knock-offs!). I never realized winter boots could be such a fashion accessory until I got here! It's really fun! Even if you don't have Uggs, all the girls wear boots around. I had one older pair of cute-ish boots, and I had asked my Mom to bring them at Thanksgiving last year, and she was like "why would you want your winter boots? Is the snow going to be that bad?" lol! And then I got my first Uggs last Christmas! But I can totally understand why people break out the Uggs early, they're so cosy!

Yup Ugg boots are huge here too, you can't go anywhere without seeing at least 1 pair! At uni ugg boots are seen as the boot that all the 'posh' people wear, so if you have a pair of proper ugg boots you're considered a 'rah' (yup as in the noise dinosaurs make... ) which is basically a person where 'daddy' buys everything for her. It's very funny how sterotypical it all is! I have a pair of ugg style boots which are so so comfy so I can completely imagine what you mean when you say they're love so cosy... I'm trying to persuade my mum to buy me some but at the moment no such luck!!

WE recently got a snooty new mall round here. It addition to making sure I don't have to trek into Boston for my high-end needs , it has a Vera store! it sells Vera...mints!

The jacket is kind of loud (for my tastes), BUT the 1989 princess would push me over into the "buy at a good price!" camp.

Which is how I ended up with my new Pink elephants hipster and Juicy coture sunglasses (they have a $ on the rim!) for Vegas. Oops.

Love it all Emma!!! Great choices! I think my favorite is the shoes!!!!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Woohoo!! Love it, you had fun shopping, didn't you? You got some great stuff!!! Love the shoes, love the tops, very cute and very cruise like!! Not so sure on the Ariel top,myself, but you definately can pull it off, can't wait to see the pics from this trip!!

 

[LISAMWDW]

Great stuff! Shopping!

My favorite is the red flowy top! So cute! Adorable with the glass slippers! Great find!

 

[Dancegrl624]

Those shirts are SO cute! You also can't go wrong with glass slippers! Love the update!

 

[BellaSoleil]

Good job on the shopping, sister! I love the glass slippers! I like to shop at Francesca's for jewelry and gifts.

I'm going to try and PM you later today to chit chat.

Our trip is getting SO CLOSE!!!!

Now, normally I’m a Plato kinda girl, but it’s when I’m shopping that I really start to appreciate Aristotle (lol...I can't get away from philosophy even outside my classes!). Aristotle talks a bunch about the actual versus the potential, and I still don’t really get what he wants to say, but I do get the actuals and potentials of purchases!

At home over fall break we went shopping. A bunch. For the cruise. Yay!

Every purchase starts out potential, but then it’s fun to see which actually come to Disney World and which are just left at the store. (poor neglected purchases…)

Actually I don’t feel so bad for the potential purchases, I’m too happy with the actual ones! I found some really cute things over break. The first one was at Target. I saw a picture of it in a display first. A picture kinda like this:

And I thought “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo” Doesn’t the blue kinda look like the sea?? So I browsed a little bit and found that they only had two left, one of which was my size!! It’s so swirly too…I just love it!

At first I was thinking Triton’s, but I have the navy dress for that, so now I’m thinking that the blues aren’t so different from the blues on a parrot, so it might work at Parrot Cay! Since Parrot Cay is a little less dressy, I might just do it with black shorts…BUT, I had a brain storm on a way to make this outfit more parrot-ish, and I decided that I’m going to try to get some red/green/blue feathers and make them into a little fascinator-type thing to put in my hair!! I’m pretty excited to make it…it should be pretty cute! (and if our Parrot Cay is on pirate night, that would work for that as well…all pirates have parrots, right? )

Also over break, I stopped in one of those boutique-y stores in our outdoor mall (I think it was called Francesca's??) and found a few things, including a pair of GLASS SLIPPERS! For $2!!! Check it out:

Isn’t it princess-y? I love the gold streaks in the shirt, I took a close-up…

The reason the (plastic) glass slippers were so cheap is because they only had really small sizes and really big sizes. And I just happened to fit into the smaller size!

Like the pumpkins in the background? And I love that they were $2 which is practically as cheap as Cinderella got them for (except she got them for free, but still).

Here's another potential purchase of shoes that unfortunately was not actualized:

Somehow they look like cruise director shoes to me. Plus they're cute. But I already want to bring more shoes than I will bring, so I skipped it.

The next purchases of note were at White House Black Market. Now I normally don’t do sleeveless/strapless…it’s just not my thing (I KNOW! The target purchase was kinda surprising!). But I saw several sleeveless/halter tops that just looked too cruise-y to pass up (plus they were on the SALE racks!!). There were many potential ones, such as this:

But only two actual, which of course aren’t on the website, so I’ll have to post inferior pics taken by me.

This one is a halter top and (gasp!) has no back, but I have a black top I’m going to wear under it. But I love the design and my favorite part is the gold chain and the little pearls at the end of the chain:

This one I really like…doesn’t it kinda look Polynesian-y?? One of these will definitely be for Animator’s Palatte, but the other I could wear at the Poly! They’re both pretty tropical!

There are a few purchases I was thinking about online that are actually still potential…I just can’t decide....opinions welcome! They’re on the Disney outlet/sale shopping site. Firstly:

lol…don’t you love how snobby Snow looks? And I love how it says “Still Waiting for My Prince.” Problem was, when I first looked at it it was $35!!! For a T-Shirt??? And it was originally $80!! I don’t know if there are gems on it or what, but that was too much. Then I looked again recently and it was $19…better, but I’d still have to pay shipping. So I’m still undecided.

This shirt I also like (it is long-sleeved, but it should be cooler in Disney in January…)

Front.

Back. I don’t know…I hesitate b/c the back is pretty…flamboyant, I guess? And Ariel somehow doesn't look quite right. I think this might not even be on the site anymore, but the thing I really like is the text:

Princess of the Sea! That’s me on this trip! Plus I was born in 1989, so that part is perfect! Maybe I'll try to copy it on a shirt of my own? I don't know...havent' decided yet...

So there you have it. The potential and the actual. The purchases. lol...I think I'm pretty much completely outfitted for the cruise now! I've got my three restaurant ensembles and many other cute things to boot! I am soooo excited. Before I came back at the end of fall break, I organized all of my cruise things and put them all neatly in bags, so I'm pretty much ALL ready to leave...why can't the days just go quicker???

Speaking of which, I can't forget a count-up pic!

Next Time: Cruise Door Magnets!!!

Wow I love your tops. I really like the Ariel top. Are you going to get it?

Can't wait to see your cruise Door magnets.
