Happy 2013!

I had this nail design for Christmas :)
Hope you're all having a great start to the new year!

Base: Essie Grow Stronger base coat
Colour: Nubar 'Midnight glory'
Design: Konad Image Plate M59
Top: Konad Top Coat

I did a similar design for New Year's but I didn't take a photo of it >< :(
and my first outfit post for the year! I should do more of these.
I am planning on doing my favourite natural beauty products from 2012!
I just need some time to gather everything ><
Enjoy the video :) spot Amber (my cat, who is not real)

and Yes... I made a mistake on the video... it is no longer 2012 lol :p

May finds :)

This lovely bag from Aldo was on sale for $22 :)
The chain is a bit long and not adjustable, so I'll have to remove some of the links.

I found this lovely purple top, with a unique cutout back at Urban Planet.
Now I just need to find the right bra to wear with this =\



I've been looking for a new book to read. My friend let me borrow 3 of her books.
One of which is by Stephen Fry :) I'm enjoying this book, it's funny and random :)

I am currently addicted to 2 (still airing) Korean Dramas :p
Queen InHyun's Man and The King 2 Hearts <3
I've seen over 200 KDramas, so I'm quite picky... if I like them, then they
must be special :p maybe I'll do my top 10 KDramas from last year :)

the scents of 'Florence'

I'm on a roll with my outfit posts :)
I went out with a friend today, visited Anthropologie and Value Village.
I found a perfume I liked at Anthropologie, by a brand called Tocca :)
Their 'Florence' scent is lovely <3

Printed top: Forever21
Blazer: Urban Planet
Cropped trousers: Romwe.com
I wore my 4" beige/nude wedges/sandals with this outfit :)

Crush Jewels

This beautiful aquamarine stone ring was purchased a while ago from Crush Jewels.
She has an Etsy shop and is also selling some of her jewelry on eBay.
They are handmade and some are made to order.

The sizing is a bit unfamiliar.
I usually wear a size 6 in stores like Aldo accessories and Forever21.
However, I would really need a size 4.5-5 for this particular ring.
The ring was too big for me at first, but they kindly let me mail it back
to be fixed. I received it back in about a week or 2... can't remember.
She gave me an extra pair of earrings! how kind!

The wire/ring is made of brass and is very strong and sturdy!
I'm trying to avoid mass produced jewelry and trying to buy things
that I know will last for a long time (and not rust :p)

They have a lot of lovely vintage/victorian pieces!

and the reason why I haven't been posting outfit photos...
well simply because I have been wearing the same things over and over again! lol
I can never live without my mini skirts in the winter or summer ><
left: grey shirt (Stitches), pink cardigan (zipia.net), skirt (Urban Planet)
right: purple top (zipia.net), sweater (H&M), skirt (zipia.net)


green top (romwe.com), tank dress (H&M), leggings (Urban Planet)

Salmon Salad Rolls

I know you want to eat this! but sorry, it's already in my tummy :)


I found this in the fridge and was starving... and it didn't say it was anyone's >>
So I ate it :)

I've been reaching for this wine red sweater a lot recently.
Keeps me warm and great for layering! :)

sparkly grey tank (H&M). wine sweater (Zipia). black skinnies (Urban Planet). belt (don't remember)

L'Air

This is yet another random post ><
I was working at the National Women's show the past 3 days
and I received some samples yesterday night before leaving.
One of which was the Nina Ricci L'Air perfume sample :)
I don't wear perfume, but whenever I get perfume samples,
I always find the need to express my opinion about it lol

Top Notes (Freesia, Honeysuckle, Violet Leaves)
Middle Notes (Magnolia, Jasmine sambac, Bulgarian rose)
Base Notes (Palisander wood, Patchouli)

At first, the smell is very light and pleasant... but after a few
minutes, my nose couldn't really stand the smell. The scent
does dry down a bit and becomes less pungent. It's a nice
clean, floral scent. I won't be wearing this everyday, but I
might wear it again on a cold night out :) I would say that
it is a light, subtle scent when worn for over an hour or two.

and my outfits for this past Saturday and Sunday :)
#1 grey shirt (Stitches). pink blouse&jeans (Zipia)  #2 shirt&cardigan (Zipia). skirt (Urban Planet). leggings (unknown)

yumm, this is what I made myself for breakfast this morning :)
I'm someone who will wake up earlier just to have breakfast =p

I made a banana sliced, peanut butter sandwich with 2 slices of
toasted black sesame bread. Then I added some grapes I found
in the fridge... and some triscuits (I received a free box at the
show I was working at lol) :) it's flavoured with cheddar and herbs :)

Pumpkin Spice & Bows

I know some of you look forward to my nail designs :)
and I'm very happy to know that! I've been wanting to
do some bow designs, so here it is :)

Base: Sally Hansen Green Tea & Olive Base Coat
Colour: OPI 'Pros & Bronze'
Design: Konad M59
Top: Konad top coat

The OPI 'Pros & Bronze' polish was kind of horrid to use ><
I painted 3 coats and the worst part was waiting for it to dry...
I thought it would dry a lot quicker because of the light shimmers
but it ended up clumping a bit at the end... it felt like it took forever
to dry >< the colour is lovely though, but I wouldn't use this again >>
The colour reminded me of pumpkin and spices :)

and a small outfit post :) went to work today, quite casual but friendly :)

sweater (Urban Planet). skirt (Zipia). leggings (unknown). jacket (H&M). bag (Zipia). scarf (Ardene)

I am also loving this song at the moment >> Tomorrow by Tablo ft. TaeYang :)
I love Tablo's music. His songs are composed/written by himself and they all
have an in depth meaning to them. He's also a Canadian of Korean descent!
He has a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and a Master's in Creative Writing.

Silver Metallic Leopard

I have a feeling I've done a very similar design lol
but when Fall comes around, I tend to go for the leopard designs ><

Base: Sally Hansen Green Tea & Olive base coat
Colour: Nubar 'Purple Rain Glitter' (2 coats)
Design: Konad M57 half of the leopard print
Top: Konad special top coat

and I found some outfit photos... I never posted ><

first: top (Zipia.net). skirt (Dynamite)
second: tank dress (American Apparel). grey cardigan (Urban Behaviour). Navy jacket, belt & leggings (H&M)
third: grey tshirt (Stitches). pink cardigan (Urban Planet). skirt (Zipia.net). leggings (H&M)

Delicate pearls

Top: Urban Planet (many years ago)
Shorts: Zipia.net

This is what I wore for work... kind of -.-
I went to work and there was a sign saying that there was no power,
so the mall was technically closed. I waited for 2 hours and left -.-

Posting these outfits is really helping me with trying to wear something
different everyday :) I think we should all document what we wear lol
I'm trying to incorporate some of my older pieces of clothing to my recent
purchases as well. When I go shopping, I look for basics or unique pieces...
I don't go crazy just because there is a sale or if something is on trend.

and here are 2 random photos =p I thought they matched!
I want to read this book, I saw it in store but didn't buy it.
I took the 2nd photo today while waiting outside the mall ><

Resorts... *sigh

Today's outfit for work :) kind of resort inspired :( I want to go away on vacation!

Top: Forever21
Capris: Urban Planet
Belt: Urban Planet (from a blouse)
I bought these capris probably over 5/6 years ago but this is my first time wearing them lol
