Nails ~ Lavender Glitter Explosion! + A few recent purcahses

Heyo! Quick update :)

I purchased this light purple polish w/ glitters the other day at Walmart and I decided to paint my nails with it xD

Here are the 2 polishes I got from Walmart.

Essie Mint Candy Apple, $7.96 & Hard Candy pixie pink, $3.98, Walmart

Even though it's called pixie pink, I really think it's more of a light purple/lavender colour...
And I finally picked up Mint Candy Apple! Walmart recently rolled back their price on Essie so I decided to get it. I wanted to get Cute as a Button too... but maybe next time.

Here's my nails~

Sorry for the bottom pic, I know it looks weird lol. It was so hard to take the picture with my left hand when the button is on the left side of my heavy ass camera.... at least I got a decent shot!

And here's a close, close-up xD

 I used Essie To Buy or Not to Buy (on ring finer + loose purple glitter) & Hard Candy's pixie pink... and the usual base+top coat.

Ooooh this reminds me, I took some pix while browsing at Walmart.
Here's the Hard Candy polish display... I want ALL OF THEM T___T

 Here's some close ups of the different polishes...

They're ALL soooo pretty.. Why can't I have them all T_T

 I guess pixie pink does look pretty pink here... but Iunno, on my nails, it still looks purple.. =_= I want that other pink one too.. cotton candy pink.. maybe I'll get it next time. Pink taffy is cute too! I might pick it up next time.. sigh whatever >.<

I really wanted this one, hip hip hooray

I narrowed my choices down to this one & pixie pink, but chose the pixie pink one cuz I dunno how often I'm gonna use this one :c It's SOOOO glittery and that's a guaranteed hard-to-remove polish T_T

Anyway~

I also picked up this pair of shorts (they're actually navy...) from H&M. On sale! Only $7 :D
Yes I have a problem. I srsly need to stop buying so many navy clothing items =___=" This'll be cute with leggings tho, and the weather these days has been perfect for leggings... It's not super hot, not super cold.. sometimes it'll be raining. Meh. Van weather...

That's all for now! Phew. It's a lot longer than I intended, lol. See you next time!

Recent Purchases

Yo whaddap! Here's another recent purchases post... not that many things but yeah xD
Picked up some nail stuff at Walmart last Thursday after my final :3 Things like this are just soooo much cheaper at Walmart... .__."

Sally Hansen nail art pen $6.97 and Essie nail set (Eternal Optimist & A Cut Above) $14.00. Both from Walmart

I wanted to get "Set in Stones" but the set it comes in comes with Turquoise& Caicos, which I already have... so I don't wanna pay for that = = I still want Shine of the Times too.. but I can't find it anywhere.. I shoulda just got them last year I'm such a genius lol.. o well whatevs..

I was at Lougheed anyway so I decided to take a look around the H&M there since I always seem to find good stuff at that location haha.. and I found this dress! I eyed it when it first arrived.. but originally it's like friggin $60, which I'm not gonna spend on a dress that I'm not aiming to wear for anything special, so I never tried it on. But I saw it on the sale rack for $30. It's size 14, and I'm usually anywhere between an 8 to 12, but I decided to try it on just for the hell of it.. and it fit! It's kinda those type of dresses that are constricting, so the 14 gave me comfy room to move around in.. SO I JUST PICKED IT UP~~ It totally sucks cuz I still had that coupon for $5 off.. but it expired THE DAY BEFORE I went and got the dress = = UGH How annoying. I wouldn't have gone the day before anyway since I needed the whole day to study... but whateverrrrr.... :/

Oxblood dress w/ embellished Peter Pan collar, $30, H&M

 Oh and lastly, these are the shoes I ordered from Aldo a while ago. I freaking LOVE the colour! It's so bright and in your face hahahaha :D They're not suuuper comfy, but I don't forsee myself wearing them on days when I need to walk a lot, so it doesn't matter haha.

Aldo Khabou in royal blue, $38.49

 Oh yeah and I wanted to add my Christmas nails from last year into this post cuz I haven't done Christmas nails this year haha :p

They kinda look watermelon-y haha but I still love how pretty they are... maybe I'll end up doing it this year too :p

Anyway that's all for now. Bye! ^^

Recent Purchases ~ Online Purchases + Winter Deals

Why hello there ^^
Sigh~ These days I've been going a bit crazy with the shopping u__u" I really gotta calm down with the shopping in the next few months.. = = But knowing myself, and how bored I am all the time, I don't think I'll be able to calm down much = = Anyway, I purchased 2 bags within like a week or so? Both from online.
This first one is from Hautelook ^^ It's by a designer named Joseph Charles. Probably not a super mainstream brand name, since I've never heard of him before, but originally, these bags were like, $400 0__0 Which is crazy... I only paid $89 for it :P Gotta love Hautelook!

Gray Tote Bag w/ adjustable strap, $89, Joseph Charles (Hautelook)

 I only purchased this cuz Cindy wanted a pair of sneaker wedges off Hautelook. They still haven't arrived yet, but at least they're shipped out :p I didn't wanna pay for all that shipping cost for only one item :x

This second bag I ordered off the TownShoes/The Shoe Company website cuz they were having a Cyber Monday deal where everything was 20% off. This was originally $128. I've had my eye on it for a while now >.< Every time I walked into a Town Shoes I'd look for it :p But I'd only ever see this bag at Metrotown o.0 Anyway it's by a brand named L.Credi. I tried looking up their website, but it was all in a foreign language I couldn't understand lol. I'm not sure exactly what language, but I'm pretty sure it was a European language. Regardless, I'm loooving these two bags ^o^

Black Tote bag w/ removable strap, $102,40, The Shoe Company (w/ discount)

Next is this sweater! I've had my eye on this for like.. a month? Nah.. maybe a few weeks now >.<
I was waiting til after the 29th so I could use this coupon I had for $5 off. This sweater is originally $39.95 >.< Glad I got the discount.. I don't think I'd pay full price for it, but it is really adorable and I love it :p I originally saw it at Lougheed, but I found it at Pacific Centre and I just purchased it there :)

Gray Hi-lo Hem Sweater, $34.95, H&M (w/ discount)

Ohhh and I also got this realllly pretty collar necklace from H&M. I only purchased it cuz I saw it was on sale.. No way I'd pay 30 bucks for it LOL
I don't really know how I'm gonna wear this though.. I just bought it cuz it's so cute ;o; Hmmmmmm.... I'll figure it out later .__."

Pearl Collar Necklace, $10, H&M (sale)

 I saw these awesome sparkly shoes at Aldo a few months ago.. and I really liked them.. but I wasn't about to pay $70 for them haha... They were on sale, so I got them :P

Black loafers w/ rhinestones, Rembold, $45,49, Aldo

Black loafers w/ rhinestones, Rembold, $45,49, Aldo

 I've already worn them twice.. and I have to say, they're definitely not the most comfiest shoes.. but I still have to break them in >.< They were hurting the widest part of my feet on the sides as well as my heel.. but nothing a few bandaids can't fix... lol.... Well for the most part, I just really have to break them in and make them comfy = = It's not perfect time of the year for shoes like this.. hahaha.. I still really want a pair of ankle booties or.. like mid-calf booties? Something along those lines.. -sigh- But I'm trying to cut back on spending = = It's so hardddd~~
Speaking of which.. lol... I also ordered a pair of royal blue studded loafers from Aldo.. I wanted to get them, but they didn't have my size.. so I was forced to order them :/ Meh, they won't take long to come in anyway. I'll take pics of them when I get them haha.

And here's my last purchases.. My Kpop purchases ^^
I got Kim Sunggyu (Infinite's leader :D)'s solo album, "Another Me" and B1A4's "In the Wind"

That's all for now! Until next time~~
~♔Josephine ♥

Edit: OH SNAP! I forgot I had this picture from my phone ^^ I forgot, I also got Dalmatian's State of Emergency, B.A.P's Stop It and BTOB's Born to Beat :D Cindy got her mom to pick those 3 up for me while she was in Korea ^^

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:

Recent Purchases ~ Polishes + Shoes!

 Just some stuff I bought recently~ :D

Essie - Tart Deco, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Black Out & White On, Rimmel - English Rose

Can't wait to wear Tart Deco! It looks like such a creamy orangey colour.. sooo cute! I got it at Superstore the other day cuz they had coupons for $2 off their regular $9.99 price... I don't mind maybe 8ish for Essie too much so I just got it~
Aaaaand I've wanted just regular black and white polishes for a while so when I saw these at Walmart.. I figured why not? They're only $2.97 there anyway :x The Rimmel one is also from Walmart.. I think it was $4.97 or something like that.. I threw away the receipt so I can't check xD

Aside from polishes... I also got 2 pairs of sandals today!! So excited ^__^

Aldo Hembre in Ice - $27.99 (sale)

 I love these! They're the ~casual~ ones :D They just look so pretty on ;~; I can't wait to wear them!!

Aldo Hankel in Cognac - $27.99 (sale)

These are the little more dressy ones... It has a 2-ish inch wedge, which makes it realllly comfy :D
Both pairs of sandals were the last sizes at the store! I was sooo lucky! For the Hembres, I got the last pair in the colour and style.. SOOOO LUCKY...

Anyway I'm done for now :p

Recent Purchases - Clothes & Accessories

Yes! I went shopping again :p I did a presentation earlier today (well... technically yesterday)... and I decided to treat myself afterwards by participating in the glamorous cycle of consumerism hahahah :p Anyway I went to Lougheed again and got some stuff from The Bay and H&M... It's a lot less crowded than Metro and a lot quieter.. so it's more comfortable to shop there heh. c:

Vero Moda top - The Bay, $19.99 (sale)

I got another one of these tops in a different colour xD! I like the other one so much I figured why not... And I think they brought out new stock this week since I didn't see this last week or whatever. Hey, it's only 20 bucks so why not :p

(Top) Expression bracelet - The Bay, $6.99 [sale] + Material Girl cuff - The Bay, $3.99 [sale]  (Bottom) F21 flower bangles, $11.80 + F21 beaded bracelets, $7.80 + Material Girl + Expression    ~of course I won't wear them altogether like this XD

 I know the price tags say $11.99 and $7.99 but all jewelry from that shelf that was $10 and over was reduced to $6.99 and everything under $10 was reduced to $3.99... So I figured again, why not? :p
The Forever 21 bracelets I got some time ago, but I was too lazy to take pictures of them lol, but here they are!

Pink fancy jersey - H&M, $14.95

This is another duplicate.. xD I bought a mint green one just like this a few months ago and I liked it so much but I didn't want to spend $30 at once to get 2 of them.. So I only got that mint green one. I saw these out at H&M yesterday and I just had to get it! Plus it's pink!! I love pink :D I originally wanted to get it anyway and they're soooo relaxed, casual and comfy c:

Mint Green Dress - H&M, $15 (sale)

I tried this on for fun and I loved it so I decided to get it :) It smelled really strongly of perfume though and there's a small brown mark on the skirt part, so I'll definitely wash this before I wear it... Ew. u___u Why do people wear really strong smelling perfume and then go to stores to try on clothes? Dafuq really. Anyway I can't wait to wear this :D I would never wear it by itself, but the detail in the back is really cool... I probably should have taken a picture of that also eh?... Oh well haha :p

EDIT- 
I took a picture of the back! Here it is ^^

Back of the Mint dress c:

I taped the sides up so the back would show properly xD I already wore this once and I love it :D!! P.S sorry bout that lighting.. yikes... my blinds were closed and the lighting messed up so bad.. I tried making it better in PS but this is the result... xD Oh wellies~

Light brown blazer/jacket - H&M, $20 (sale)

 This jacket has such a funny story... I probably saw it at the store in the sale section like 5 or 6 times... And it never got sold. xD I was curious, but there was no price tag on it and I tried it on just to discover the price tag in the pocket. (It said $49.95 so I was like o_o). The first time I tried it on I probably didn't feel like spending that much money that day... or I was just lazy to ask if it had been discounted. Either that or I thought I really had no use for something like this, but today (yesterday...) I finally asked an employee if there was a discount on it and it was only $20! I tried it on in the fitting room before asking, and it fit me really well so I decided that for $20, I might as well get it :p I was like, fated or something to get it anyway haha. This will be perfect for late September/early-mid October so I can't wait to wear it :D!

That's all for now!

Recent Purchases ~ Clothes + Polishes

It's been a while since I've blogged! I've just been too lazy... or busy(ish) I guess. Here's another post :P! It's a bunch of stuff that I've bought over the past 3ish weeks. All the stores are having their sales and stuff.. and of course, I can't resist.

Minted - Blue Lagoon - Pale Cashmere (Revlon Colorstay line) - Gold Coast - Sparkling - Scandalous

Minted - Blue Lagoon - Pale Cashmere (Revlon Colorstay line)

Gold Coast - Sparkling - Scandalous

Another group shot... isn't this one cool? xD I clearly haven't been taking pictures for a long time, being fascinated by a shot like this u__u

 All these Revlon polishes were from Walmart except for Gold Coast which I got on sale at London Drugs for like $4.99 I think.. At Walmart they were $3.97 each.. so cheap $__$ Not sure about the Colorstay one.. I think it was on sale too.. Maybe 5 bucks ish?

 I got this other Revlon one on Thursday, at Walmart again while I was with Nini c: We both bought one polish each haha she got a dark blue one that I've had my eye on for a while but never felt like buying cuz it's dark... and it's Summer now so I don't need it :P Well I guess I don't really need any of these... But never mind that *cough*... Essie's Camera was from Superstore on Wednesday. I got it for $7.97 I believe since it was on sale. I've had my eye on this colour for a while, but I never wanted to buy it cuz full price Essie is just so expensive (even on sale... 8 bucks.. sigh)... There were only a few left, and since I wanted this colour pretty badly I just decided to get it (x

Anyway~ On to the clothes ^^

Vero Moda Peter Pan collar white chiffon dress - The Bay, $29.99 (sale)

I got this dress from The Bay a good... 3 weeks ago while shopping with Cindy. It was on sale for only $29.99 so 30 bucks +__+ I just had to get it! It's so cute c: Hopefully I have somewhere to wear it to soon haha.
There was a sheer dark green blouse from BCBG Generation that I wanted too.. It looked good when I tried it on :c But it was on sale, and still $55.. I didn't wanna spend that much money :/ It was on sale too -sigh- Oh well. I haven't been back to the Oakridge Bay since... -.- Oh well. I'm not sure if I would get it even if I saw it again anyway.

H&M sheer white blouse with black details - H&M, $15 (sale)

I still haven't had a chance to wear this one... I'm not really sure how I would wear it anyway, but I just liked it so much -.- Plus it was only $15 so whatever~ I will wear it though! I promise! If not it'll just be such a waste of money...

H&M black t-shirt with lace detailing - H&M, $10 (sale)

Haven't had a chance to wear this one either... Hopefully I'll wear it soon! I love the lace detailing.. It makes a kinda masculine looking shirt so feminine. (btw the photo on the right is harsh ps'd cuz I wanted to show off the lace... :p sorry if it looks weird)

H&M boyfriend fit jean shorts - H&M, $10 (sale)

I loooove these! I can't remember the last time I bought shorts so I was super excited when I found these cuz I won't wear shorts unless they're a little longer like this c: They're super comfy~ It's so funny cuz when I first found these, I just wanted to try them for fun, and the price tag said $29.99 and I was like.. nah.. ;~; even though I was heart broken... Then I came out of the fitting room to walk around the store more and I found the exact pair of shorts, but the price tag said $10 instead and I was like F YEAH~~ SO GETTING THEM! Such a great find c: Can't wait to wear these when it's absolutely unbearable to wear pants outside xD

Dex long white cardigan with striped detailing - The Bay, $12.99 (sale)

I'm so glad I got this :D It'll be a good piece to just put on when it gets really hot and I want to go out for the night time or something ^^ Even though it's a tad bit long for my liking... I still love it! I saw it the first time at The Bay and it was $19.99 but I didn't wanna get it since it had a little stain on it :c I just left it and really regretted it lol. That was at the Lougheed Bay and I checked the Metro Bay to see if they had the cardi since I needed to pass by there on my way home anyway... I remember seeing it at the Metro one over a month and a half ago when I was there with my little bro, but I didn't try it on cuz he was super tired and I didn't want to bore him :P Plus at that time I just finished shopping for him.. so I was pretty broke luls. Anyway they didn't have it anymore at the Metro Bay.. So after a few days, I returned to the Lougheed one and tried it on again xD But this time it was reduced to $12.99. There were only XS, S and a L left... I tried on the S and it fit alright but I wanted something more comfy and baggy to wear over a t-shirt and shorts so I just decided to get the L. Even though it's a little longer than I'd prefer, I still like it cuz it's nice.. plus it was only $13! ^^

Vero Moda top - The Bay, $19.99 (sale)

I got this top at the same time as the cardi above.. I tried this one on a week before too and I realllly liked it, but it just wasn't worth $29.99, especially on sale.. I can't believe the regular price was $39.99... 40 bucks just for that omg x___x Anyway when I went back, the price tag still said the same thing.. $29.99.. I was so frustrated but I really liked it/wanted it.. So I asked the cashier lady if there were any further discounts on this. She said probably not since that's what the price tag said, but when she rung it up at the register, it only said $19.99 so I took it :D! I wore this today and it's suuuuper comfortable and light weight. Good for hot days!

H&M boyfriend fit jean shorts - H&M, $10 (sale)

These were an awesome find too c: I purchased these on Thursday with Nini. We were just browsing and I came across these.. Thought it'd be nice to have more than one pair of shorts :p So I tried them on and they fit so I got em! Such a steal for 10 bucks only c:

Phewwwwww! Long post x__x Hopefully it won't be too long until I do another blog post... But who knows, I know I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks.. then final assignments and exams u___u Can't wait... Anyway, until next time~
