Toothpaste Nails! + Special Guest!!

Weeee! I did these toothpaste nails a while ago... so they're not in the best condition... (you can already see some of the nail that grew out.. xD)
I kept pushing back photographing them cuz I wanted to do so in the sunlight.. and everytime I would remember, the sun would already be set... But finally! Here we go c:


I didn't really notice they look like toothpaste.. until my older bro said so xD I thought that was such a funny name, even though he meant for it to be offensive (psh...) So that's the name of these!! Hehe.. Of course you could always replace the turquoise/mint  colour scheme for other others.. I was actually inspired by a picture I found online, and in that picture, they used pink colours instead. I just happened to be feeling turquoise-y that day.
Btw.. You have NO IDEA how long it took for me to take that picture^ I tried soooo many times to get the focus right.. but that's the best I could do... It's still not perfect.. or the exact way I would want it to be... (and the original picture was totally not centred...) but I really couldn't get it better than that u__u" So frustrating.. I wonder how I did it so easily for my rose nails the other time... Anyway, with the help of some cropping in PS, it is now presentable :p


Here's just another view...

And here's the polishes I used~ From the first coat to the last..

Essie Fill the Gap, Essie Turquoise and Caicos, Revlon Minted, Sally Hansen White On & Seche Vite Top Coat

*Drumroll* And here's my special guest!! xD His name's Allie.. or Ali if you like haha. He's modelling the hat I bought yesterday at Aritzia xD

Ivory & Black Fedora - $19.99 (sale), Aritzia
Anyway that's all for now! Bye bye! Say bye to Ali too :p

Recently... Accessories/Clothes/K-Pop!

Hello again! It's been a while since I've posted... I wanted to wait til I did a bit more shopping over a bit more time to post xD
I went to Metro to sell a textbook and go grocery shopping with my mom and lil bro yesterday, so I didn't really get to walk around the mall.. But my little bro and I also went to RC and night market (the new one) after, so I did quite a bit of shopping yesterday~

Braided Bracelets - $10 for 4, Richmond Night Market (New one)
 Here's what they look like on!

 I really like the right most one.. maybe cuz it looks the most delicate and subtle? Haha.. Oh well I saw these and I thought they were cool.. but I had to get 4 cuz they were 4/$10 so I picked these out. I gave the second from the right to my older bro cuz I offered him any of the 3 on the left.. And he picked that one. I think these can be unisex so I gave it to him. Plus I really don't think I'm gonna wear all 4 of them enough... So oh well :p They do look quite cool, though. I think they'll transfer well into the fall too, even though they do look a bit summery.


Aside from the NM bracelets, I also got some stuff from F21.

Top - Feather Friendship Bracelets, $5.80 each, Bottom - Chain Bracelets, $4.80 ~All Forever21
 I got the feather ones and the chain ones on different occasions :p I think the got the feather ones last Thursday? Not sure.. but that was my first time driving to Metrotown alone!! I was so excited xD I didn't hit anything, so that was fine. I saw/passed by an accident on Imperial & Willingdon when I was going home though.. I thought it might've been a bad omen.. but nothing happened so I was fine xD

Anyway, here's what they look like on.


I don't LOVE the feather ones, but I think they go well with some other stuff I have. The chain bracelets are really pretty though, they look really delicate and subtle.. Right up my alley ^_^

Alrighty.. Next up is clothes!! 

Moon Beige & Navy Skirt - $12.49, The Bay
 I looked at this skirt quite a few times.. but I never decided to try it on cuz I thought "when would I ever wear this...?" That stopped me from buying it xD But the price tag said $24.99 and there was a sign that said "ADDITIONAL 50% OFF" Soooo for only around 13 bucks.. I got it! That's like.. F21 price man. @___@ Plus it looks really nice on... I thought might as well. I better wear this though, or else it'll be a waste of money :x

Propaganda Floral Skirt - $27.50, Plenty
I bought this last... No... last-last Thursday.. When I passed my road test :DDD I went downtown with Susan and got this from the Plenty downtown... It's such a cute pattern... I will wear it during the fall.. Hopefully I don't get too lazy to xDD

Creative Concepts Long Sleeve Dress - $23.60, Plenty
I bought this dress yesterday too ^^ The Plenty at RC is going through a renovation, so they're having a renovation sale at a temporary location inside the mall. I went with my lil bro and he said it looked nice when I tried it on... And I liked it too ;o; Don't really have anything like it.. So I got it! Plus... It's even cheaper than the previous skirt.. omg o-o" So worth it LOL I love how it looks on.. But the waistband is a little low for my taste. It makes the top part more baggy, which is okay, I guess. It still looks cute on. I can't wait to wear this when it gets a bit chillier xD Maybe.. late summer/early fall? Super appropriate for fall ^^ It has little bows on the pattern so it's really cute :D


Phewwww we're already at the end of the post! I also got this BAP CD the other day I drove to Metro :D Now I have all 3 of their albums up to date! Wewt! I don't like No Mercy much, but the rest of the songs on the album are cool, so I figured it's worth it to purchase :p I also ordered a Korean magazine.. but I'm too lazy to take a picture of that loool.
Alrighty that's all for now! Bye bye~

Recent Purchases ~ Accessories/Polishes/Clothes + Flower Photography

Woo I've been so lazy ever since the semester ended... Never wanted to do anything u__u *cough... Alright here's some of the stuff I bought recently :D

4 Leaf Clover Bracelets - $4.80, Forever 21
 I love theseeee they're so damn cute :D They look really cute when I wear them together too.
Originally I only bought the vintage gold one cuz I couldn't decide... and I didn't want to get both.. But I went again a while after and got the silver one too.. It's only 4.80 so whatever haha c:

Pink&Gold Studded Bangle/bracelet - $7.80, Forever 21
 Ugh I looove this! Love the cute little studs that aren't too bam-in-your-face.... And I LOVE THE PINK!! :D There was a light blue one too but I decided not to get that one.. I liked the pink one more :p Can't wait to wear this >.<

Material Girl Boho Necklace - $3.99, The Bay
 I saw this and I couldn't resist buying it.. The original price was $20!! That's freaking crazy! But then when I got home I noticed the feather was kinda broken... but oh well, it was on sale for 3.99! Can't complain!

Sinful Colors' I Miss You & Nail Junkie - $3.99 each, London Drugs
 These have been on sale for a while at London Drugs... Not sure if they still are. I thought these two polishes would be really pretty for a gradient nail... But I've been too lazy to do my nails for a while now.. haha... Well I wanted to let them rest.. but then they started breaking.. so my nails aren't really long enough to be painted right now.. u__u.. Whatever.. saves me time lol

Black Lacey Top - $7, H&M
 I'm so glad I decided not to get this when I wanted it a few weeks ago... cuz it's on sale now! Only 7 bucks! SUUUPER HAPPY :D I love the lace details on this shirt :3 And the cute little pocket ^^

Here's a close up... c:

Black Skirt w/ Leather Detailing - $10, H&M
I saw this skirt a few times at H&M...  but I don't really need something like this since I have a black skirt that's pretty similar from Zara.. but I tried it on cuz it was only $10 compared to the original $34.95 price... And it looked good so I figured might as well... I love the leather details on the waist band... and it has pockets :DDD I love me some pockets! And it has two tiers.. kinda so I love that too c:


Here are just some random photographs I took in my front yard cuz I was bored... My brother was watering the plants and I was keeping him company xD

 This is heavily, heavily edited... lol. It took quite a lot to make just those flowers stand out... -_- Oh well, I quite like how it turned out though c:

 Just another flower~

 These are super pretty for photographing.. too bad I didn't take pictures of them earlier in the summer when they were in full bloom :/

Here's just a set of yellow flowers.. I have no idea what any of these are called lol.

Alrighty~ Phew I'm done :D See you next time!

Recent Purchases ~ Accessories/Clothes/Kpop!

Here's some accessories that I bought recently... I think it was all on Saturday x__x Can't rmb now.. but I had a paper to write for this past Thursday so I didn't really have time to update.. but here it is :D!

All the accessories ^^



Belt Bracelet - $12, Icing & Chain Bracelet - $9.80, Forever 21

 I KNOW! I can't believe I actually paid 12 bucks for that bracelet... but I've been wanting a belt-wrap type bracelet for a while... and it's so cute with the star details ;o; I just had to~ And the F21 bracelet.. I saw it and I was automatically like.. I HAVE TO HAVE THAT.. So now, here it is.. in my drawer.. waiting to be worn xD

Black & White Dainty bracelets - $6/each, Spring/Call it Spring
 They were the last ones on the rack... ;o; They're so dainty and cute! I love the little feather hanging off of it >.< There were pale pastel pink ones and mint green ones too... but I thought the b&w ones would be easier to match with stuff :p I usually don't like these kind of lobster-claw closure bracelets.. but these were too cute to pass up! Plus it's really not that bad putting it on ~___~ Guess I got over that...

Heart Ring & Pearl Bracelets w/ Bow Detail - $1.50/each, Forever 21
Can't believe these were only $1.50 each! Had to pick buy them >.< Such a good deal >.<

Also went to Lougheed again on Thursday after my last class for the semester :D
Picked up this Vero Moda top.. Wow I've really been loving this brand lately x___x Anyway I love how it ties in the front.. The lace makes it look a bit formal, but the tie makes it casual :D Love it! Can't wait to wear it :)
Vero Moda Navy Lace & Front-Tie Top - $33.99 w/ additional 30% discount, $23.79, The Bay
Close-up of the lace detailing... LOVE IT!

Aside from fashion stuff.. I also picked up...
BEAST! Wewt :D Their new album Midnight Sun. I love the mask on the front.. it's so purty and ~mysterious~ looking xD I got KiKwang's card thingy.. I want DooJoon :c Wonder if I'll ever be able to find someone to trade with me... haha oh well I don't really mind :p

I had to place a special order for this.. .but sooo worth it!

Infinite's Showcase (The Mission) DVD! :DDD I kinda wish I ordered this earlier cuz it's supposed to come with a poster.. but they ran out :c
Sigh~ Oh well, I saved a bit of money, I guess.
Btw, this dvd set was $50, and Beast's cd was... $21 I believe :)

Alrighty! That's all for now u__u~~ Til next time! c:
