Recent Purchases ~ K-Pop + Cardi

Hello hello~ Long time no blog!
Well it's sorta a good thing and sorta a bad thing, since it means I haven't been shopping that much. Hehe. Since school has started again (well it's already been a few weeks...), my life has returned to its mundane state. Which means I haven't been roaming the malls AS much. Anyway here's a few things I finally received from YesAsia!

First is the anual Infinite calendar package that I've been buying for a few years in a row now. It just doesn't feel right if I don't have an Infinite calendar hanging in my room now! :P

Infinite 2014 Season's Greetings Calendar Package, YesAsia

Being the crazy Infinite fangirl I am... of course I had to order this for the new year! It took a really long time to arrive though, since I preordered it before its official release, and YesAsia kept pushing back the shipment date. At least it arrived within the first half of January!

If you're interested...
Infinite 2014 Season's Greetings available here.

Next I ordered some (kinda overdue) CDs.
I got VIXX's Voodoo Doll (I was so happy for them when they got their first win!! :D) and BTOB's Thriller.
I got Hyuk's version of the CD for Voodoo Doll and Changseob's photocard in Thriller. I really woulda preferred Ken's version and a Hyunshik photocard... but oh well~

VIXX Voodoo Doll & BTOB Thriller, YesAsia

These took about a month to arrive with the free shipping deal they had on YesAsia before - minimum $25US purchase. Now they're changed it to $39US minimum, which sucks... but free shipping for an order that size is still a pretty good deal, even if you have to wait a month.
I still have to get a few of VIXX's CDs to complete my collection so far... I'll get them eventually!
And my BTOB collection so far is complete... apparently they're coming back soon so I'm excited for that :D I'm hoping they'll go back to something retro like WOW since I think that concept/sound was pretty unique. Thriller was super underwhelming, but I really liked some of the songs on the mini album, so I decided to purchase it anyway.

VIXX Voodoo Doll here.
And BTOB Thriller here.

Lastly is this cardigan!
Yup. It's like the exact same thing I got a few weeks ago from Forever 21.... So why did I buy this?
Lol. :( Well I saw it on sale at the TNA store at Metro, and I thought the price was pretty good for something from TNA... Plus the quality seems way better than the one I got from F21... so I jumped the gun and got it! It can't be a horrible thing to have 2 knitted oversized comfy black cardigans, right? Well sale items from Aritzia/TNA are final sale anyway, so it's not like I can return it even if I wanted to (which I don't, lol). I just wish I saw this one before I decided to get the one from F21... but oh well. Can't do anything about it now!

TNA Lockhart cardigan, $39.99, TNA

 TNA Lockhart cardigan available here.

The girl working there that day also got me to try on this dark wash chambray button up... but it was just too pricey! Even though originally, it was $95 and it was on sale for $65, I just don't think I can justify spending that much on a button up chambray... And I already have the one I got from H&M a while back!
Of course I'd love to have it... but I just don't think I can do it. Maybe if I wait a little bit more and it gets even cheaper.... lol. We'll see. They do fit really really well though :(

Alrighty, that's it for this post! See ya next time :)

Recent Purchases ~ Clothes

Hello again! I just have some recent clothing purchases that I wanted to share ^^

First is this adorable holiday cardigan~ I actually saw+tried this on at the same time I bought my black cardi from F21, but didn't wanna spend so much money on a seasonal cardi... but I liked it so much I decided to go back and get it. Too bad, cuz I won't be able to wear this til next year.... lol maybe I can still pull this off in January? :P We'll see~

Grey Christmas cardigan, $33.80, Forever 21

Next is this military inspired button down. I found this baby at Aritzia, since they're having a pretty big sale throughout the whole store right now. I need more button downs to wear with my new favorite black cardi from F21 that I shared a few posts ago :P Sadly, this army green one doesn't look that good with the black cardi... but I still like it.

TNA Military button down, $29.99, Aritzia

Lastly is this blazer vest I found at Urban Outfitters. I've been wanting something like this, and I found it for only $9.99! So even though it's not exactly what I'd like, I settled for it... after all, it was ONLY $10!

Silence + Noise Black blazer vest, $9.99, Urban Outfitters

That's all I have to share this time~ See ya!

Nails ~ Holographic Sparkles

Hello~ I'm back with another nail post :) I did this one for new years... sorta, even though I had no plans for new years... lol :c
I decided to do something sparkly, like last year, but using some different newer polishes ^^

Here's the polishes I used~ OPI Rainbow Connection, Essie Over the Edge, Born Pretty Store holographic polish and Sally Hansen nail art pen in black

Doesn't the holographic polish look so cool?! I love the effect that this polish gives :D If you remember, I purchased it a while ago from BornPrettyStore.I thought I could use it alone on my nails, but you actually have to use it on top of a base colour. In this case, I just layered it on top of the black colour seen on my index, middle and ring fingers. The bottle is so freaking tiny... so I don't think I'll get much use out of it :c but still, the effect is super cool and I'm glad I decided to buy this polish from BPS. I do think the holo effect only works in specific lighting, though. Sometimes, it just looks like boring ol' silver, which sucks... cuz all I really want is the cool holo effect... but I guess since it still looks super cool sometimes, depending on the lighting, it's worth it.

Alrighty, that's it~ bye~
