Fair warning, due to pretty terrible lighting and a pretty lousy camera as well as me being a little rushed, the pictures didn't come out too well, but here's a haul post. Just don't expect the pictures to be a good representation of the actual product, lol. It's gonna be a pretty long post...
First off, none of this is high quality expensive brand stuff. Since I'm currently on a study grant, I don't have a huge amount of money to spend, but I did have a need for a fair bit of new clothing since a lot of my older neutral stuff is getting worn out. So instead I sort of took a gamble with a cheaper store, and generally, I was pretty pleased with what I got.
First item is a kitty hoodie. Despite looking really wide in the picture, mostly due to me not putting it down nicely enough and not realizing that until I started looking at the pictures on my computer, it's actually a nicely slim fit. It's not tight or anything, just not baggy. I like it. The craftsmanship was okay. There were a few loose threads, which were easily fixed, but generally it's about what I'd expect from a kinda altsy hoodie at a cheaper pricepoint. It didn't feel cheap or badly made or anything, and for its pricepoint it's actually pretty good, but I have worn things of better quality.
Secondly, I got a cute sailor collar t-shirt thingy. It looks a little more blue on the pictures than it does in actuality. It's actually pretty deep black with a vibrant red collar. The material and cut are all pretty good. I thought it was going to be a bit longer than it ended up being, but I was satisfied with the cut as it turns out. It's also not as sleeveless as it looks in pictures. It actually has weird half-t-shirt sleeves for lack of a better way to describe them. It's pretty nice. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the fact that the trim around the collar is a little shiny and looks a bit cheap compared to the rest of it, but it's nothing too obtuse.
I also got a sailor moon sweater, which is maybe the piece of clothing that surprised me the most, quality-wise, since it's actually really nice. It's really soft and warm but also feels sturdy and well-made.
Then last but not least, I got a cute little outfit of matching hoodie and skirt. The most expensive thing in the haul, but it's pretty good quality despite the considerable amount of detailing in the lace and stuff.
It even has adorable bunny ears!

This is the front, which has a cute little catface thing with a fitting motif.
And here's the back, which was what I liked most about the hoody. Look at that cute tail!

Love the pirate shirt. I have a bad habit of trying to wear "pirate-inspired" outfits when I'm not just wearing jeans and a t-shirt. 
Not full-blown pirate costumes or anything, just peasant shirts, vests, brown leather belts and boots, clothes with nautical motifs, etc.

I love Torrid's jeggings and I am tempted to get myself another dark pair due to their Black Friday sale (40% is good, especially since they are not cheap at all).

I know this is super late, but if you like BB creams I'd definitely recommend looking into Korean brands! US- or European-made BB creams are pretty decent--and by all means if you found a product that works for you then that's super awesome!--but Korean brands are definitely superior and worth checking out. (I mean, the cream was invented there!)I've been looking for a super light every-day routine that can cover some redness and dark circles without resorting to full-on cosplay make up, (which is the only make up I've ever done) and recently tried out BB creams. I actually really like the Dream Fresh by Maybelline for color correcting, but it has a 'dewy' look and I'm concerned I'll look greasy out in the sun. Some people suggested a matte powder over it, but I'm not sure what to get? Should I choose a powder my color, or use 'translucent' powder? The translucent looks to me just like really pale skintone, and while I'm pale I'm not THAT pale. Will it make me look washed out? I've only ever used liquid foundation so powders are completely new to me.
I scored a leather motorcycle jacket on clearance for 70% off a couple weeks agoLast one on the rack and it was exactly my size.

Thanks for the tip! I've heard the Korean ones are the best and I actually would like to look into them. I just needed to decide on one right away for a trip I'm going on so I picked from among what I could get at my drugstore, and was lucky to find one that works. xD I'm so nervous ordering anything make-up related online because I'm afraid I won't like it/it won't be the right color, and the amount of choices is almost overwhelming. Do you have any Korean brands you recommend as a starting point in a search?

Wish they had that in colors besides pastel purple. With the exception of blue, pastels aren't my thing.

I know what you mean about the online thing! I unfortunately don't live near an asian market so the authentic stuff has to come from the internet
As for brands, I've heard a lot of great things from Skinfood! Here's a product of theirs on amazon that I've been eyeballing lately, and here's some listings of the same product on ebay from what seems to be a reputable seller (#1 light beige, #2 natural beige.) Skinfood also makes excellent scrubs and masks that I definitely recommend looking into! (The brown sugar scrub mask is my favorite...)
I've also been looking at some Holika Holika stuff since they're somewhat cheap and have some pretty good reviews on amazon.
SKIN79 is also a big brand, but their stuff tends to be more pricey and you'll probably find more counterfeit products than the real deal.

I just sold a Juicy charm that never fit with all my other ones (bigass chandelier) and some Doc Martens on Poshmark. That was exhilarating as I'm currently nearly broke. Someday I'll have Docs, I swear. I bought them on 6pm a couple years ago so they were already way discounted and I made my money back, but they had a metal zipper rather than plastic. And they were also the wrong size because I couldn't remember what my last pair were.
Coincidentally getting sold was the fate of my last docs. I had some Mary Janes that were really comfortable but kind of heavy. They were damn near brand new at a thrift store for $6 and I tried wearing them, riding my bike in them, existing in them. If they were boots I'm sure I could have sucked it up but I ended up selling them for way more than I bought them for. I also realized they just weren't really my style and they were too big for my friend who just started at Joann Fabrics. The woman who picked them up from me almost started crying because she said it was such a hard-to-find style.
In other tragedies I lost all but an inch of a NYX jumbo eye pencil. I grabbed what I thought was a jumbo sharpener but I think actually sharpened ONLY a specific thing from benefit that was much larger than my NYX pencil because the damn thing split in half and I've got about an inch left. They're cheap but goddammit there was so much pencil! That's what I get for trying to do shit with my glasses off I guess.

I got myself a concealer from MAC after I was given advice to stick with concealer instead of foundation due to my good skin. I may get a foundation from BareMinerals (thank you for the $15 gift card, Sephora) and another lipstick. Any good mauve-colored ones?

I finished up Christmas shopping yesterday. I got some stocking stuffer type gifts but wanted to show off this pretty rad comic-print shirt I got for Mr. Multiples. It's what I'm calling a shoot for the moon gift. He'll either love it or absolutely hate it. I think that's part of the fun of gift-giving as I really try not to give gift cards. He likes Marc by Marc Jacobs ever since I opened those floodgates a few years back so we'll see.
And for myself I got this Alice and Olivia skirt. The print is one of those things that I would die if I didn't get.
My arms are so sore from hauling everything around the mall yesterday. But the B&BW 3-wick candle deal was worth it. I have mahogany teakwood in the ridged glass holder!

I've really been getting back into jewelry lately, since it's a way for me to express some style if I get a job where I have to be a bit more conservative than I do now. So I've been trawling Etsy to find some unique things and I found a shop that sells nothing but Depeche Mode-inspired jewelry:
Sounds of the Universe!
Playing the Angel!
My personal favorite of the lot.
A Violator spinner ring!
I also love body jewelry. I have 7/16g plugs and I really want a vertical labret, and to get my septum re-pierced. I've been drooling over these finds:
Also, opals! I love shiny, sparkly, rainbow-y things and opals are my favorite.
I would love to have a clicker like this but they usually cost $200+ and I'm not sure I want to drop that much on something that's going in my nose...
Found these on the site of a local piercing parlor. The chips inside come in different shapes; I want hearts!
Apparently these are solid black opal. A bit out of my range at $290 and not even in my size, but I would gladly go back to 0g for these!

Duuuude. If you want a nice septum piece, get it. I spent $300 on mine (custom from BVLA), and it was worth it, because I never take it out or change it.
You can always hit up bodyartforms for more affordable titanium and opal septum pieces--they're super reasonably priced and even offer a autoclave sterilization service so you know your jewelry is sterile when you get it.
