Thanks to Kristi and Alea for IMM :)

This week I didn't get any books but a few weeks ago I got Penelope and completely forgot to put it on IMM. It was on sale at Half Price Book Store. I got it for a dollar! :)

Penelope Wilhern has everything a girl could want: A wealthy, socialite family, an enchanted bedroom and some of the coolest clothes around. There is only one problem: She was born into a cursed family and has the face of a pig.

Hidden away from the world, Penelope now finds herself subjected to a string of snobby, blue-blooded bachelors in a desperate attempt to find her a husband in order to break the curse. Though she yearns for something greater, what’s a girl to do when faced with a determined mother and her matchmaking sidekick? Hoping to snap a photo of the mysterious girl, mischievous tabloid reporter Lemon hires down-on-his-luck Max to pose as a prospective suitor and infiltrate the family. But when Max finds himself truly drawn to Penelope, he can’t bring himself to expose and disappoint her, so he just disappears. Fed up with this latest betrayal and determined to live life on her own terms, Penelope decides to break free from her family and go out into the world in search of adventure. Hiding her true identity with a scarf, Penelope discovers a wondrous world where freedom opens her eyes to possibilities she never knew existed. Making new friends along the way, she discovers happiness in the most unexpected places.


Non-Books:

I got these adorable tights at Wet Seal. :)
I won these freakin' ADORABLE heels (in black) over at Viva Fashion Blog. You should check that site out it's soo cool and has tons of fashion-y awesomeness. I especially love the notices on sales. Just sayin' haha :) I am actually wearing mine right now. Gosh I love them so much I don't ever want to take them off :D If you want to buy them yourself you can go to Franco Sarto (links to actual shoes) and get them for $95 bucks. They have them in grey and purple. They're suede by the way in case you can't tell. I love 'em!

I just had to buy this movie so my dad can see it. It's SO funny and I love anything of Stanley Kubrick's. :)
I adore this necklace!! I just got it in the mail Saturday. Three days after ordering it on iamsnizzle's etsy. Ya'll better check out her site! She is so nice and sells really cute stuff that's not overpriced. I love it all! :D She shipped super quickly and even included some really cute goodies with my necklace. Gosh I don't want to take it off ever. I'm wearing it now. It's kinda big with I freakin' love. She currently has another bee necklace available so if you love it (you better! hehe kidding...a little) you can buy it. It's $7.00 plus $2.50 s/h if it's being shipped to the U.S if not then there are other prices just check and see :)

This week was pretty awesome I must say. I GOT MY LICENSE!!! on Tuesday (totally failed the parallel parking part because I was too nervous even though I know how to parallel park! I'm sooo good at parking thankyouverymuch) then got those shoes then that adorable necklace then those other things. Totally had something to make my week extra special ;) Hope ya'll's was awesome too :D That definitely is not a word...

If you want leave a link to your IMM's or just let me know what you got this past week and/or how your week was :)
