WAZZUP NEEKS >:)

its yer daily...? dose of y2k shit.


sorry for not updating this in a while; some stuff came up irl and i needed to do those...

BUT!!! i am back now n will b making posts again daily!! :))


Juicy Couture--if you are a 2000s fashion enthusiast, that name may immediately turn your head and make you scream
"WHERE?!!!?!?"

From their iconic blinged-out tracksuits 2 their faux fur handbags or their velvet-textured velour zip up hoodies, Juicy Couture was a staple of various 2000s fashion subcultures, namely, "trashy y2k", better categorised as McBling (or "Bling Bling" for all yew old folks out there >:3)


now as u all know, mcbling is all about the bling. shiny rhinestones, pink, black, and white fabric, low-rise bottoms and cropped hoodies and shirts.

if you wanted to show off how much was in yer wallet but didn't want to look like some hoity-toity dingus, you would most probably wear this kind of stuff.

juicy couture was EXPENSIVE. 
(and it still is now... or is it?)

now, of course, mcbling had its own fair share of problems, like the oversexualisation + objectification of women and enabling paedophilia. there was big focus on celebrities and models in this subculture, so of course, there was a spotlight on all sorts of horrendous scandals that came to light in the 2000s when this fashion was in its height.

but anyways back to the point,

where did juicy couture go?
and why is it suddenly relevant again?



well, juicy couture has been making more stuff. theyve always been.
they sell them online for a pretty hefty price, but if ur a student like me, you dont have that kind of money.
so you go to wholesale stores that sell excess product at an INSANELY cheap price.

places liek tk maxx (or tj maxx if yer in the USA), burlington, kohls, marshalls, ross.
and for the past couple years, its been awesome.

u could snag a bag or a pyjama set for max 20 USD.
clothes that had been SO expensive and considered the "trashy luxury" style were now accessible 2 people who were fanatics of the style and wanted 2 wear it.




well, too bad. this isnt the case anymore cuz tiktok can and will ruin anything and everything for you.


although i myself dont have tiktok, apparently there has been a juicy couture craze with people going to resale stores and buying juicy couture things in bulk and reselling them at insane prices on depop.

i personally think this is disgusting, as if you go onto the actual juicy couture website, you can see how much they actually sell for. these resellers are selling them way over these prices (sometimes into the thousands in USD), but when you can get the same bag at a store like tk maxx or burlington for literally TEN DOLLARS USD, i find it unfair that people snatch all of them for like... at a maximum 100 bucks and then resell them for a total of over 1k.

like these ppl arent even wearing the clothes, theyre jus making a big buck out of it.


i mean yeah ig. very 2000s mindset; get that bag gurl. u gotta do what u gotta do, i guess.
its back 2 the old skool for mcbling ... but imo not necessarily a good thing.




however, if ya wanna beat the tiktokkers, heres some tips on how to get ur hands on some nice juicy couture shiz :3

1. Ask store staff when restocks will happen!!
This may vary based on store or region, but whenever I ask, they give me a good time frame. Some stores restock on certain days of the week and it's usually later at night or early in the morning

2. Get to the store early in the morning!!!
Get to the store for when it opens!!! Check the store hours, and make sure to get there RIGHT when it opens!! I cannot stress this enough!!! there are scalpers everywhere.

3. Order online from wholesale stores!
Ik that Tk Maxx ships from online sales. This way, you are guaranteed to get an item for the price that is listed. If you dont want to risk not getting the item from the physical store and if they ship to your location, then order online!! Be aware tho that stock may run out online as well though, but for some reason, tiktok hasnt found out that you can order them from the online store...
so take advantage of that!!

(most of the resale/wholesale stores only ship to few areas tho, so thats why im putting it lower on this list :3)

4. Go thrifting :P
Kind of a dumb tip, but if they dont ship to you, theres no wholesale stores near you, and you cant find any resellers who sell at a normal price, try heading 2 yer local thrift store(s).

ive found multiple juicy couture things at a thrift near me; pyjama tops, bags, etc.
if u do go thrifting tho, go early in the morning before others get there so u get first dibs on what they have that day!!!

(i may make a guide to thrifting l8r if anyones interested :P)


As alwayz, lmk if you have anything to add, correct, etc., or if u just wanna yap about whatever :P

stay kewl bbz!! ^.^ <3

What ever happened 2 the radio?

i know, the stations gotta keep w/ the trends and push out that sweet billboard music, but ive found myself getting bored of the thing that is "modern pop"

dont get me wrong, it has its own merits, but for my personal taste, its just ... not fetch enough... ykwim?

like theres stations dedicated to the 90s... the 80s...

what about 2000s and 2010s pop?


even then, i didn't like the majority of billboard songs, but at least they differed enough so much that i could determine which song was by who. And it wasnt just pop either; like every now and then people would call in and ask for a song to be played that wasn't on the billboard, and then everyone in the area kept asking for the song to be played again, and again, and again...

maybe thats just how the radios near me work, but jus saying :P


miss when the top hits radio played more than one genre </3



so, heres a list of songs u may have forgotten :P

i will be updating this as much as possible!!
