Narwhals and Unicorns December 29, 2009

Currently I’m in the process of migrating See Creatures to a new, shinier server. I’ve been busy working on client websites lately, and battling a terrible sinus infection, but over the next few days I’ll be using my spare minutes to update the look of See Creatures to be more compatible with all web browsers, in addition to a special iPhone version (in celebration of receiving my own iPhone, which by the way, I’m in love with it!)

Unicorn vs. Narwhal

My little sister knows me too well; for Christmas, she gave me this Unicorn vs. Narwhal battle set! I’d been pining over it at our local comic store (I love collecting “designer toys”) and she used her allowance to buy it for me. So sweet! She also got me the Unicorn Code tote bag that I’m sure will prove perfect for carrying my texts:

I can’t wait to add the Cold War Unicorns Play Set to my collection; it will make the best conversation piece for visitors, no?

Here are a few more pictures of my Miu Miu bag, too, for those who are interested.

Sorry, one more

I only wish it could fit my Moleskine planner, which I typically carry around to parties & outings for recording quotes. Looks like I have an excuse to get a pocket Moleskine, I guess!

Happy giftmas! December 25, 2009

Merry Christmas – I hope everyone’s was safe and fun! My boyfriend’s little sister was sick all day, and my twin sister also managed to wreck our car on the ice. (Yes, we had a white winter in northern Texas!) Luckily she’s okay, and the damage is minimal, but it was definitely a stressful event. Regardless, we all managed to have a food-filled, family-filled holiday and I’m glad we all managed to survive another year. ♥

I think this year has to be one of the best as far as loots go. I was gifted with a pink snuggie, a Unicorn vs. Narwhal battle set (can’t wait to post pictures), a Unicorn Code tote bag, a beautiful plaid Anthropologie dress, and most importantly, an iPhone (to replace my old, broken Sprint). I can’t wait to plaster this Deer Wearing Gym Socks decal on the back of it! But first – a protective case!

Most importantly, though, I bought myself the following (it arrived on Christmas Eve):

As you can probably agree, the most rewarding feeling is buying something that you have wanted for years with your own, hard-earned money. When this popped up on eBay at a very opportune time (I had just received a webdesign check AND made a 4.0 in university), I couldn’t pass it up. I have loved this Miu Miu collection — the aged vitello totes — for years, and I stupidly hesitated buying it when it was in stores. I’m glad I took the chance, because the leather is so supple, the hardware shiny, and most importantly, this little clutch is SO INCREDIBLY SPACIOUS.

This photo is probably the most representative of the color. As you can see, it has some intentional aging around the stitching, perfectly illuminated by the gold hardware. Ah! I’m in love. I adore how girly the color is, without being too “Barbie” (as it appeared in the photos).

More photos later, I really just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Miu Mius & Snow Treeson are here! December 12, 2009

Miu Miu

My sister’s Miu Mius are here! More (better) photos later, but wow… I am in love! The patent leather and perfectly-sculpted stiletto make these so fierce, I seriously want to wield a sword when I wear them. Worn here with my white Wolford tights, which are a godsend in this cold weather.

Hello, little guy!

Snow Treeson is also here! I’m quite a fiend when it comes to collecting these little guys. I’ve been in love with Treeson since the original one first came out (& I’m kicking myself for not buying him when he was $25! Now he’s on eBay for over $100). Snow Treeson’s one out of 600 in the world (and 1 out of 300 sold online). I also bought a limited edition Treeson tote to match my Treeson keychain! Obsessed? A little!

Treeson Babies
As you can see, Snow Treeson’s texture is different from the rest – he’s a little bit grayer than the other white babies, and a bit more gritty, or “snowy”. So cute!


My bag was limited #23 out of 50.


Love his pink cheeks!

If you want one of these little guys, visit Crazy Label (or eBay for the older Treesons). Also see the Treeson Flickr group for more Treesons & Treeson photos. The group is watched by the creators (Bubi Au Yeung, who created the story, and Andy Woo, who casts the toys), so sometimes they pop in for comments and news.
