Sorta angry right now about my shoe situation. As I told you all last Monday, I purchased a pair of shoes last Saturday in a mall, farr farrrr away. They’re deadly comfortable as they should be considering the price I paid for them. But since I’m an idiot and throw everything away — I threw the receipt away too, or so I thought! The sole doesn’t come up far enough on the toe, so my toe scuffs on the ground when I walk, making the shoe look much more worn out in three wears than it really should. I’m really disappointed in you, Nine Wests. Saturday morning as I was putting on my jeans I found the receipt in my pocket. Of course I had to head out to Toronto the next day. However, my big mouth should have kept quiet. I told them I wore them outside even though the manager was like “RLLYY? THEY DON’T LOOK IT”. Sooo obviously I didn’t get a refund or an exchange. I plan on writing an e-mail complaint to Nine West. It’s soft leather on the shoes yeah, but I mean c’mon they shouldn’t be scuffed to hell after 4 wears. Ugh, even talking about it makes me angry :P
So I felt as if I wasted my $29 to get the greyhound to Toronto just to fail at exchanging or getting a refund. I decided to stay in the city for the whole day and just browse around if something caught my eye, and whatta ya know. They did. I have these (really bad pic + braces, don’t judge!) cheap ass $10 sunglasses that are scratched to hell and just look like garbage. I bought them from Winners a year or more ago. I found almost an exact replica at Armani Exchange, only the price tag is a little more expensive — $85 Canadian. I tried them on, and was hmming and hawing about it for a while until finally some sales associate came over to help. There was a HUGE security tag on one of the ear pieces and I asked for this guys honest answer, “Are these lopsided? Or is it the security tag making it look funny”. He agreed with me, and at first I thought he was being sarcastic…cause he kinda looked like a fun type of person (? lol), but no…he was being brutally honest and didn’t want me to drop eighty five bucks for lopsided sunglasses. Maybe I’ll put them on my wish list for boyfriend to buy them for me for Christmas. Surprise me, dear? Ahem.
My trip to Toronto was unsuccessful. Though I did take a picture inside the new Bench store, where they had a live DJ playing some deadly music. I was totally bopping my head like a nerd, and I think he caught me. So was like “oh crap” in my brain, then pretending to text people or whatever. I know I was in the store for fifteen minutes or more, just listening to the music. It was really great. So I got all brave and asked if I could take his picture. I don’t even know why I wanted a picture, he wasn’t even hot lol. Guess it makes me miss the dj scene back home. I used to head out to one of the bars and take some shots of my friend Djing all night. Anyway, here is dude bopping his head (mimicking me?) to the music.
I always get fun promotional items while working as a Marketing Assistant (and Graphic Designer). Look at all of the customized gel pens we ordered! I think there’s 550 in total, with six different shades to choose from. I chose the lime green to sit on my black keyboard. I get to pick out and order a lot of things at this job. I recently purchased post-it note booklets with our logo imprinted on. Anyway, the company was pretty swift with getting the pens to us, I only ordered them sometime last week.
