Long time no see!!! Random "recent" purchases

Hello blog world! I haven't posted in soooo long.. Guess I kinda just fell out of the routine, but I'm back xD Unfortunately, I haven't taken pics of the clothing pieces I've purchased since my last post.. but they'll be up soon (I hope :x)

Anyway~ here's a few things I've purchased "recently" :P I use the quotation marks because it's been a few months since I bought some of these things... but anyway, here we go~

Material Girls sunglasses, $13.50 (sale), The Bay

 One day a while ago, I was just trying on some sunnies for fun and I came across these. I was feeling really cheap that day so I decided to go back for them. I received an email shortly before going that said The Bay was having a "25% off for 2 items" accessories sale. It was 30% off for 3 or more items, but I couldn't get myself to buy more than 2 pairs cuz I didn't really like anything else.. plus I was using gift cards, and the most convenient amount they came in was in 25s... so yeah. Anyway, these were originally $18 each but I got them for $13.50 each :3

Silver & Gold Infinity rings, $7.25, Icing by Claire's

 I was SOOOO excited when I found these! I've been looking for something like this for sooo long. I could've purchased them online/from FB shops.. but you can't even try them on. Plus I never really felt compelled to go through all the trouble of ordering and facetrading and blah blah. Anyway~ I walked into Icing one day when I was walking round Metro and I spotted these! At first I only saw size 8's.. Then I found one size 7... Size 8 fits fine, but in order to wear it on my fatter fingers, size 9 or 10 is better.. so I kept looking.. I ended up looking around the whole store (and they had infinity necklaces too! but they were too ~bling~ for my taste, so pass) and then I went BACK to the ring rack.. looked some more and I FOUND THEM~ Size 9~~ I felt like it was fate so there was NO way that I wasn't gonna get them XD Plus they were only $7.25 for both.. what a steal >_< The quality of Icing pieces are a lot better than F21, so I thought it was such a good deal. That's my little story that follows these rings xD I love the infinity pattern... well, cuz I love Infinite :P It's my lil way of showing them some love without being too crazy lol~

Sephora by OPI polishes in I Gotta Blush on You and Ocean Love Potion, $7.99 each, Winners

 These are my first ever Sephora by OPI polishes ^__^ I couldn't resist the colours! They're so cute haha, plus I picked them up for only $7.99... gotta love Winners.

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Polishes in Something Blue and Diamonds, $3.97 each & Pure Ice in Jail Bait, $1.97, Walmart

 Picked up these polishes cuz I haven't tried either brand/line of polishes before. Plus the Diamond Strength ones are usually a lot more expensive...

Jewelry storage box, $7.99, Winners

I picked this up just the other day :) It's so pretty! Btw this is like my whole ring collection.. lol I barely wear em anymore but I have quite a selection, don't you think? -_- Woo spending money on ~useless~ stuff... that's me alright lol. Oh yeah, I totally forgot to take a picture of this before I put all my rings in... and I'm not about to take them all out, take the pic and then rearrange them..... so yeah. This is the best I got, lol.

PHEW~ This is the end.. of this post <__<" I think I'll do one more nail post before I go to bed. Not gonna edit cuz it's almost 3 and I got school early tmr... (sigh... why did I take that nap on the couch... WHY....) Bye!

Hihi! Just wanted to pop in here and add that I also purchased another jewelry organizer box thing from Winners :D

Jewelry storage box, $9.99, Winners

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 ~ Sweater Season!!

Hayhayyyy~ So here's a few items I've purchased during the last little while ^o^
I love winter clothes.. they're just so comfy and cozy.. I actually don't mind the colder months :3

Lalalallaaa these two sweaters I bought a while ago. I've already worn both a TON just cuz they're soooo damn comfy and easy.. not to mention they look good hahahhahaa... In Cindy's words.. I actually look like I try LOL It's not hard Cindy! Sweaters are your good friends c;

Anyway I got these both at The Bay for 30% off!! SOOO AWESOME~ They're originally $39.

Dex deep purple/eggplant hi-lo sweater, $27.30, The Bay

Dex forest green hi-lo sweater, $27.30, The Bay

I also bought 2 more pairs of Jessica Simpson jeggings from The Bay (THEY WERE 40% OFF, original price $59, OMG I AM SO LUCKY IT WAS A ONE DAY DEAL TOO ;o;o;o;o;) But they're just black... too boring lol so I didn't take pictures of them :P

Next up is H&M. I just picked up these bracelets cuz they're so cute :D And on sale for only $2 a piece ;)

Various claw clip bracelets, $2/each, H&M

ONTO today's purchases... ^o^
It's "Black Friday" and even though I live in Canada, lotsa stores here had/are having sales too.. They're trying to keep people from hopping the border to participate in (and dump money into) America's Black Friday sales... dunno if it's actually doing anything loool but it's not like I would ever hop the boarder for Black Friday anyway.. so w/e... Just another day of shopping for me ahaha.

It turned out to be such an eventful day ^o^ First I was just gonna go to Langara to meet up with a person to sell them my textbook, but then Cindy ended up asking me to go to Richmond Centre with her in the morning.. so we met up at around 10:30 and went to RC. Walked around... and it was a lot emptier than I expected it to be o.0 I thought people might go crazy like on Boxing Day lol but no, it was just quiet. The sales going on weren't that good.. but I did manage to pick up this cute Christmas sweater from Forever21. I tend to try to avoid buying clothes from Forever21.. I guess dresses are an exception cuz I don't wear them often anyway... but yeah. All sweaters were 30% off and I just like this cute sweater so much so I bought it c: (original price $29.80 :D)
I looove Christmas sweaters.. I have 3 now lol but December's only so long :c I guess my H&M sweater w/ snowflakes can be worn for a few more months, but Christmas sweaters like this can only be worn during a certain time lol, which for me is ONLY in December, so I really don't get a lot of use out of them T_T BUT I DON'T CARE~~ I JUST LOVE THEM TOO MUCH T_T I will wear this one this year. I promise XDDD

Gray sweater w/ burgundy details, $20.86, Forever 21

 Here's my sweater collection so far LOL.
Left bottom 2 are from last year, and same for the top 2 and bottom one on the right.
I have a few more.. but these are the only ones I actually WEAR. I hope I'm not going too crazy with them.. Sweaters are just the COMFIEST thing EVARRR I srsly don't want to wear anything else during the fall/winter LOL :D

PHEW. You've made it to the bottom of my post :D Here's my last purchases for this post. Three candles! I LOOOOOVE how the peppermint mocha one smells. Freaking scrumptious LOL I haven't even burned it yet but I know it's gonna make the room smell SAOOOOO good :D
Anyway Bath & Bodyworks was having a 2/$22 for the 3-wick candles.. so ofc me and Cindy had to take advantage of that xD She only bought one though, but we used a coupon that gave us $10 off :D Wewtz~

Bath & Bodyworks 3-wick candles, 2/$22

OH SNAP. And and and here are my most recent Kpop purchases XD

~♔Josephine ♥

Recent Buys ~ Front & Co. + Aritizia Warehouse Sale + Aritzia + KPOP

 OMG seriously took me forever to do this post.. I took the pictures like 3-4 days ago and edited them all about 2 days ago.. but for some reason.. I just didn't write the post! Well at least I'm here now :P

Anyway~ Glad I got to do some shopping before school started... Sigh~ I think that's the only thing I'm glad about ;c
Front & Co. was having a rummage sale.. And I managed to find this cardi-vest for $8.

Country Road Cardi-Vest, $8, Front & Co.

I already have something like this.. but I feel like this one fits better... Oh well, it was only $8 so I just decided to get it. There was a Community jacket from there that caught my eye too.. It fit really nicely but it was $75. Even though it was cosigned... I just didn't feel like it was worth the money. :/ Oh well. It's not meant to be then :p

The next day Cindy, Susan and I went to the annual Aritzia warehouse sale on Waterfront at the Convention Centre. I managed to find two things while they didn't find anything.

Wilfred 100% Silk Breezy Pants, $49.99, Aritiza Warehouse Sale

 I'm SOOOO glad I found these pants! They're so freaking comfortable and I have nothing like them :D Plus they're black so they're slimming. I can't believe the regular price for these is like $145...I think I saw them at the store a few times too while Aritzia was having their end of season sale (I think they were either 70 or 60?).. But omg... 145.. so ridiculous. I'm so thankful I found them at the warehouse sale x_x I've already worn them like 3x and I am in looooove! Hopefully I'll still be able to wear them for a while before it gets too cold cuz the material is realllllly thin. They're my breezy pants :D Especially on a day like today when the sun is out, but it feels too cold for shorts :)!

At the warehouse sale, I also managed to find this jacket ^^

Talula Jacket w/ Hood, $99.99, Aritzia Warehouse Sale

 It's not cold enough to wear it yet.. Maybe in a month or so :P So I haven't worn it yet.. but I really, really love it! It's just a casual jacket.. and I was looking for that cuz I don't really have any casual jackets.. They're all trench coats @___@ And OMG how awesome is it that it has a hood... a hood that's actually big enough to cover my big head xD
It's funny cuz last year I bought a beige trenchcoat from the Aritzia Warehouse Sale last year.. and it was also from Talula. But I only paid $49.99 for that... Maybe I should've taken a picture of it? Haha oh well..

I also got this comfy sweater from Aritzia today.. Since I had to meet someone at Metro to buy their iClicker off of them.. I decided to walk around the mall while I was there.

TNA Burgundy Long Sleeve Pullover, $35, Aritzia

 I actually bought a dark purple one (V-neck, though) from Aritzia last year... but for some reason... I didn't notice how horribly it fit on me -_- It fit alright in the store when I tried it on.. I think I was just blinded... lol.. or desperate to buy something :/ but I can't wear it -__- Such a waste of $35... It's like freaking 40 with tax :/ SIGH. And it's stitched together in the sleeve area... AND I took out the stitching in the purple one so I couldn't return it... I KNOW. I'm such a dumbass :c
Anyway.. after being depressed about my stupidity... I just bit the bullet and purchased this today. It actually FITS and I know I'll wear it tons cuz it's super comfy.. and it goes with my comfy silk pants c; I actually took the sleeve stitching out in this one too.. Right after I took the picture. I don't know why they do that.. People can roll up their own god damn sleeves if they want to :/ You don't have to stitch it like that. LOL random rage. :x

Alrighty.. On to Kpop purchases :P

Beast - Midnight Sun Limited Edition

This album comes with so much random stuff xD But I'm pretty sure I'm missing a photocard lol.. Why would they give you all 6 members for one set of the photocards and only give you 5 for the other set.. It doesn't make sense... but I guess I don't really care since Yoseob isn't my bias anyway LOL. Wewt for both Doojoon cards<3

Lalalala also got BAP's Repackaged album yesterday ^^

BAP - Crash - Fist Mini Album Repackage

 Honestly.. I think I just went out of my mind when I saw this at the store x__x Even though I want to get the poster.. and it's cheaper to buy the album + poster from FB.. I just ended up buying this album at Crystal. I have no idea why. I wasn't thinking... I think I was possessed or something LOL. Another dumb move by yours truly.. Oh well.. I can sell the other album off if I really end up getting the deal from FB cuz you have to buy the album in order to get the poster for only an additional $5.
-COUGH- Alright. Let's stop judging Josephine and her stupidity. Until next time I get off my lazy ass and actually post.. :D Bye~

~♔Josephine ♥

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!

~♔Josephine ♥

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:

~♔Josephine ♥
