Yay! Finally I'm back with another nail post ^__^
It feels like it's been forever since I've done my nails xD
Anyway I felt like going with something a little more subtle since I don't really want to stain my nails really, really bad (although they'll probably still be stained -__-). My nails ended up being really stained from the Christmas manicures - green polish always stains your nails :( Anyhow, I chose this dusty plum colour with a metallic accent finger and a leopard design on my middle fingers with little dots on the rest.
I'm really happy with how these turned out :D! It's my first time trying out the leopard design, and I think it won't be the last time! ^_^
Here's what I used:
Essie Merino Cool, Covergirl Outlast Bronze Beauty and Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black
Hello! I'm back ^_^
I received some CDs I ordered from YesAsia and I picked up this wool coat from TopShop!
I was just roaming around downtown after I had class on Friday, and I found this gorgeous steal of a coat. It was originally $160, but on clearance for $48!! :O WHAT A STEAL~ Plus with a student ID, I got another 10% off which is freaking awesome. I ended up getting this coat for $43.20.... although with tax in BC, the total basically came up to the price without the 10% discount but whatever. A discount is a discount :)
TopShop dark green wool coat w/ furry white lining, $48, TopShop @ Pacific Centre's The Bay
Yep, that's really the only piece of clothing I've purchased in this little while. Good for me, lol. I think avoiding malls is a good choice for me :P
Besides the coat, I also received an order of CDs from YesAsia.
This time I picked up these three CDs :) B1A4's Who Am I, B.A.P's Badman (I know I'm pretty late with this >_<) and VIXX's Super Hero. Slowly, I'm building my VIXX collection... slowly ><
B1A4's Who Am I has some ah-mazing packaging. Like seriously. I know it looks like a magazine, but I really didn't expect much. But when I got it and flipped through he actual physical book, the whole thing is designed to look like magazine pages!
Here are some shots of the inside :P I'm not showing you everything, so if you want to see more, go buy it! ^_^
B1A4's Who Am I available here.
B.A.P's Badman available here.
VIXX's Super Hero available here.
I actually stumbled upon another website that has even better prices than YesAsia - and shipping is free on orders $25 and over! I think I'm gonna start ordering from there. It's called MWave Shop. I'm guessing it's affiliated or a part of MNet? Yeah, anyway, the prices are really good so I'll definitely be on the lookout for some stuff on that site.
If you're interested in the B1A4 album, I recommend that you check out MWave Shop first, since I saw it on there for $19.99 as opposed to YesAsia's $22.99 T___T"
The only thing is that I think this site only has a one-time stock, so if they're sold out of their original stock, they won't restock and they won't have anymore :s at least that's what it looks like. I dunno, I'll have to familiarize myself with the website some more.
Other than these recent purchases, I also wanna talk about some new songs I've been enjoying ^_^
I said in my last post that I was feeling sorta bored with my music, so I went searching for some more new music to add to my playlist. Here's some of the songs I've really been enjoying :)
1. BTOB - 뛰뛰빵빵 (Beep Beep)
Yay! If you didn't know, I'm also a pretty big fan of BTOB :) Although I wasn't too thrilled with their last comeback (Kpop fans, see what I did there? :P lol), I'm really enjoying their most recent comeback with Beep Beep! I'm glad Cube has realized that BTOB's style should head towards the fun, bright and playful direction, instead of trying to have them become a second Beast, or completely under-do other bands in concepts that are trending (cough.. by this, I mean trying to sorta creepy concept, even though VIXX has completely owned that :/) I'm really enjoying the rest of this album too, and I already ordered a physical copy so I'll share when it arrives :)
2. BTS (방탄소년단) - Boy In Luv (상남자)
I didn't really like this song the first time I watched the mv. Probably because I simultaneously read the childish and goofy lyrics.. and there is some completely unnecessary violence against the girl in this mv. :/ However, I decided to watch some of their live performances and found myself liking the song a lot. It's really freaking catchy @_@" A while ago, I said I would be keeping an eye on this group, even though I didn't really like their previous releases. I do really enjoy this one, though. :) Congrats BTS for making it onto my playlist! xD
3. 노지훈 - 너를 노래해 (A Song For You)
This a really simple song, but it's really enjoyable. Plus I heard he personally worked on the lyrics/composition(?) for this song, so good for him! Nice song... oh, and he's really attractive :P
4.Thunder/천둥 from MBLAQ - 없어
Another really simple and nice song. Self-composed by Thunder! Good for him ^__^ Really catchy and I found myself singing along to it easily.
5. 소유 of SISTAR & 정기고 - 썸 (Feat. Lil Boi of Geeks)
This is such a pretty song, and it puts you in a good mood ^_^ I've always like Soyou's voice, and it sounds really good with Junggigo's. The mv is cute too~ Baro is adorable :P
6. Dal Shabet - B.B.B. (Big Baby Baby)
Yeah... I don't really talk about girl groups a lot xD Mostly because I usually like male singers better :x But this song is so catchy! I especially love the background music. It's funky and I dunno.. I just like it! xD
7. Nine Muses - Glue
DANG this song is catchy! Really upbeat and fun :P Great addition to my playlist.
Wow alrighty, it's been a long post xD
Bye!
~♔Josephine ♥
Hihi! It's reading break... but here I am, procrastinating when I have tons of things to do for next week... :(
I'll start tomorrow!!! (I say like a true procrastinator...)
Ok back on track... so I just want to do a post about some songs I've really been enjoying recently ~o~
A few weeks ago, I felt like I was getting really bored of my music. There wasn't enough new selection to entertain me for my hour-long commutes to and from school (and between campuses.... -.-) but I'm glad that there was a lot of music released recently that I really like :P Not that all of these are gonna be new songs... but whatever. Let's just get into it!
Oh, these are in no particular order btw.
1. Exo - Baby Don't Cry
Man, I freaking love this song! It's definitely one of my favorite Exo songs. I'm so glad they got the chance to perform this live @ A Song for You :D I don't know what it is... maybe because it's so soulful? Oh and it's a great display of what the Exo members are capable of, vocally. Regardless of how good some of their songs are, though, I will never forget the nightmare that was "Wolf". I'm still in disbelief that they won tons of music show awards for that song.
Now I don't necessarily consider myself to be an Exo fan (or Exotic, if you please), but I do enjoy some of their music, and I do like them. While I have been watching their show, "Exo's Showtime", I don't think I'll ever be able to call myself a full-on Exo fan. Their fandom is just too crazy for me. And I still have this preconceived notion of what SM and their idols are like. My justification is that they already have so many fans who support them on such a big scale, it doesn't really matter if I'm not a full fledged fan. I don't think I'll ever buy their albums either, but I still like the members and the group.
If you're curious, my favorite members are Chanyeol, D.O. and Lay. :)
2. B1A4 - Lonely
Here's a newer release :) When this song came out, I wasn't too sure about it, but it's definitely one of those songs that sounds better the more you hear it. It's just so freaking catchy! Lonely lonely lonely~ lonely lonely lonely~
I've sorta had B1A4 on my radar since their debut. They were so cute during their "O.K" days! I'm glad they really made it big with this album, following Baro's appearance in "Reply 1994", which I enjoyed (yes... I watch a lot of dramas although I might not mention every single one I watch here...) and admist their whole sajaeji (or buy-back) scandal. I ordered this album for myself and I can't wait to get it!
B1A4's definitely found a style that's pretty much uniquely theirs, and as always, I give praise to idols who are involved in the production of their music. Jinyoung is one talented dude :)
Speaking of which, there a plenty of other songs from B1A4's newest album "Who Am I" that I really like as well.
3. B1A4 - 사랑 그땐 (feat. 하림) (When in Love feat. Harim)
I really love the nostalgic vibe of this song. When I first heard it, I thought "Jinyoung must've been inspired by the retro-craze that was brought about by Reply 1994". Not sure if that's really where the inspiration came from, but it's a really pretty song. I love the harmonica and the lyrics :)
4. B1A4 - Who Am I
I'm really in love with this youthful sound that comes from a lot of B1A4's music, it's energetic, but still has substance. This is a really fun song called "Who Am I", which is also the name of their album. This song makes me wanna play it really loud in the car and just jam to it while driving :P
5. B1A4 - 길 (Road)
This is another really cute and fun song from their album. I actually really do like the whole album, but these are just some of my favorites :P I also really recommend "Amazing", "Baby", "Seoul", and CNU's solo song "음악에 취해 (Drunk on Music). Omg. Hell, I recommend the whole album ok? xD
6. B.A.P - 1004 (Angel)
Omgah. Yes. I absolutely adore this song. I'm really happy that B.A.P won their first music show award on Show Champion with this. Hopefully that's the first of many for this song ^_^ Even though it was only on Show Champion, it's still a commendable feat *clap clap*
I've liked B.A.P since their debut too. Although I felt like none of their subsequent releases really topped their debut song "Warrior", I think 1004 really breaks that wall. I do like their tough and powerful concept/image, but this song is just too good to pass up.
I also like the songs "Spy", "Lovesick", "Save Me", "B.A.B.Y" and "With You" from their newest album, "First Sensibility".
7. Royal Pirates - Drawing the Line
Super fun and catchy song! Hope they release more music like this. I watched the Royal Pirates on the After School Club yesterday and they're seriously so much fun! It's always more fun when they don't have to go back and forth translating for non-English speaking guests ><
8. 박명수 & Primary - I Got C
Yeup. This song is a few months old, but I love it. After watching the Infinity Challenge episodes leading up to their music festival, I loved this song so much I didn't even care about all the plaigarism accusations/controversy surrounding the song. It's just too much fun to listen to to care about all that crap.
Hello!
Just a short post today :)
I picked up two things from Metro today that I thought I'd share.
I got this t-shirt from Aritzia. Just a casual graphic tee. I liked the one with the triangle and the hot pink accent too, but they didn't have my size ><
La Notte graphic tee, $14.99, Aritzia
Secondly... I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
Yes! This is the glorious chambray I talked about in my last post :)
I went back a week later, and surprise surprise~ they lowered the price! So I decided to pick it up... even though they would probably lower the price again after another week or something.. but whatever. This ended up being half price from the original full price of $95. (I KNOW, freaking 95 for a freaking button up.... I mean I'm not that happy to have paid ~50 for it either.. but 95... like a hundred bucks for a freaking button up... you gotta be kidding me)
TNA dark wash chambray, $47.50, TNA
Although I have to give it to them... these fit really well. Oh btw this is the boyfriend fit.
Sadly... the black cardigan that I bought last week was also discounted... from $39.99 down to $34.99... I should have waited for that one T_T But sigh. What can I do? They're final sale.. and it's only 5 bucks...
Unlike this freaking chambray. The girl working there last week (same girl was there today too but didn't recognize me.. lol) was trying to push so hard for me to buy this chambray for $65. Luckily I waited to get it. I would've felt really pathetic if she actually convinced me to buy it for $65 lol.
Anyway that's all~ I really have to stop shopping, lol. ;~; It's like a disease!
Alrighty, until next time~ bye!
