Recent Purchases ~ Clothes (Leather Jacket & Aritzia Warehouse Sale 2014)

Woo! Long time no clothes post! Well I went to the annual summer Aritzia warehouse sale again and I also finally picked up a very trendy, biker styled-leather jacket so I thought I'd do a post :D

So here we go!

So I found this leather jacket at Marshall's, but it's not real leather (which I don't mind at all). I forsee myself wearing this a lot soon, when the weather gets a bit chillier. So excited! :D

RD Style Pleather Jacket, $29.99, Marshall's
 -----

So next up is the stuff I got from the Aritzia warehouse sale. I've gone every year for... either 3-4 years in a row now, I can't really remember LOL.. I think 4. But this time around, I felt like there was really not many jackets and it wasn't that great. It might be because I went kind of late this year, on the second last day, during mid-afternoon. It might have been better or more interesting if I went earlier, but anyhow here's what I picked up!


La Notte graphic tee, $9.99
I actually wanted this tee earlier this year when I bought my hexagon graphic tee but they didn't have it in my size! Surprisingly I was able to find it at the sale. I've been wanting a couple more comfortable easy t-shirts in my wardrobe so yay!

Next up is another tee:

La Notte graphic tee, $9.99

In addition to the two tees, I also bought 2 new blazers. I can't help it! I just love Aritzia blazers, and you can never find them for such a good price outside the warehouse sales~

Both are double breasted, which I think gives them a very classy touch.

Wilfred Navy Blazer, $49.99

(Brand tag got ripped off) Black blazer, $49.99
Alright that's all for now! I'm always happy with my purchases when I come back from an Aritzia warehouse sale so I thought I'd share. Til next time!

K-pop - Recent Purchases (Infinite, Infinite & MORE INFINITE! :P)

Hello hello~ I'm back with some new K-pop purchases :D

Lately, even though it's not like I haven't been shopping for other things and whatnot, I only feel like posting about K-pop stuff >_< I'm not sure if it's because I've lost interest in posting about clothes and nails and whatnot.. or if I'm just more interested in K-pop stuff now that I'm more invested in it.. Either way I'm not sure if I'll continue posting other stuff besides Korean related stuff on this blog D:

Actually I kind of want to just make a separate blog for Korean-related things.. but then that means I probably won't be posting on this blog anymore unless I have a huge urge to or I feel like I have something really important or exciting to post. Ah I don't know.. if I create another blog, all the Korean-related things I've posted on this blog will be a little "wasted" I feel.. since it won't be archived on the same site. :S I'm not sure what I want to do, but for now, I'll continue posting on this blog.

Anyhow, I finally met up with my friend Emily a while back, and she helped me purchase a couple things from the Yahoo Japan Auction site, because her sister is familiar enough with Japanese and she agreed to get me a few things x) So I ended up ordering Infinite's Be Mine (Solid Ver.), since it's now out of print and unavailable from YesAsia and Infinite's Star Collection Card #66 (Normal, Woohyun), since that was the only normal one I was missing.
She clearly told me that in the description for the Be Mine album, it said that there is no extra random photocard included in the album, but it comes with everything else, which I was fine with. As a side note, this album originally comes with 9 photocards, one of each member, one group photocard and an additional random photocard of one of the members. Surprisingly, when I went home and opened it, I found Sunggyu's extra random photocard in the album :O! But the album is missing the group photocard. So now I'm just looking for that one group photocard, and I will be content! :P
I'm really glad I ended up getting the random Sunggyu card, though ^__^ That card was on my wishlist anyhow.
So here are some pictures of that~


8 Photocards, 1 of each member and 1 additional Sunggyu (bottom right)

Now I have all three of these! :D I don't think I'm going to hunt down the normal version because I don't feel a huge need to get it.. ><


So on the same day, I decided to hop on over to KR, which is my local K-pop/K-merchandise store, since their annual back to school sale had just begun, and I ended up picking up a couple things there as well~


This necklace wasn't on sale, but it's a dogtag necklace from Infinite's "That Summer" concert in 2012 and it was leftover merchandise from then, I guess, that had been sitting in the store for a couple years. I decided just to buy it since I do think it's cute ^^ and it seemed no one else was interested in buying it.


Also from KR, I picked up one of Infinite's New Challenge posters, since it was on sale for $3. I didn't want to unroll it to take the picture, but here's a photo from the handy dandy internet :D


I didn't really like any of the New Challenge posters when they first came out, but then I sort of regretted not getting any of them. There are 3 in total and I don't really like the other two:

(I guess this one's pretty cute... but Gyu and Woohyun look weird... lol :s I much prefer the one I ended up buying :p)



Moving on~
I can't believe I waited SO long to buy this Koi Ni Ochiru Toki (aka KNOT) limited edition album. It's so freaking beautiful. I can't even describe it! Yes, the album outside and cover aren't the prettiest... but the photos inside, the concept and all the booklets are just so gorgeous!

I ended up buying this album from this girl off Tumblr. I was specifically looking for an album, already opened, containing Sunggyu's booklet. This album comes with a CD, a DVD, a lyric booklet with pictures of all the members and an additional booklet featuring one of the members, given randomly. So while just searching around the internet here and there, I discovered this girl's Tumblr and purchased it off her. It was definitely not cheap. I paid $75 for the album, and another $25 for the bonus Sunggyu post card (given for free depending on where you purchased it from when this album first went on sale, but now it's rare). So in total, this album and the postcard put me back $100+. Not to mention horrendous Canadian shipping prices... but I'm glad I have it now :P



Sunggyu's booklet gives me life ._. he's so adorable xD If you didn't know already, he's my favorite from Infinite and quite possibly my favorite person out of K-pop overall xD
Sunggyu is so adorable.. ;~; I can't deal~ haha

Alright, lastly, I received Woohyun's Season 2 photocard in the mail today~ I bought this off of a girl on a K-pop merchandise group on Facebook, Ji Hyun Woo.Ah I feel like I should do a post about those K-pop merchandise groups on Facebook and other places for buying and selling K-pop merchandise online sometime.. I'll do it later :P

Anyhow, now I finally have Sunggyu and Woohyun's photocards from Season 2! Two more down ^_^




That's it for now! I definitely have some more stuff coming in soon so stay tuned for some more K-pop posts :D!

K-pop - Recent Purchases (Collective)

Hello!
The semester is finally over, and I'm freeeeee~~~

Anyway, I'm back with another collective K-pop purchases post!
This definitely isn't as long as my previous one, but I'm just here to share some stuff I received over the last little while~

First off is some photocard stuff I successfully traded with people through K-pop merchandise Facebook groups.

You might remember from my last post that I received my 2 Good Luck albums, and I ended up with Doojoon's black card and Kikwang's black card. I successfully traded Kikwang for Doojoon white! So now I have both Doojoons ^__^ yay! My favorite!



 --

Another successful trade that went through was for my VIXX Jekyll Hongbin card. I received Ken ^_^! He's my favorite from VIXX. :D


--

Alrighty! Onto some purchases~


First off is this FREAKING BEAUTIFUL A4 card from Infinite's She's Back Japanese Limited Edition version...

It's so beautiful... ;o;
I got Hoya's card with mine, but I really want Sunggyu and Woohyun's.. and now I have Sunggyu's! ^_^ I wonder if I'll be able to find myself a Woohyun one.
These things are ridiculous. I've seen some on eBay for $90ish to over $100. And this is JUST for the A4 photocard/poster thing!
I got this Sunggyu one from a person in a Kpop merch Facebook group for $45ish after shipping and extra fees and stuff. Still pretty ridiculous, but I couldn't pass up the chance to own this, even though the person didn't do a great job packaging it and it was a little bit damaged when I received it.
Still happy though!


 --

Next up is Doojoon's photocard from Beast's "Hard to Love, How to Love" album from last year. I got Kikwang with my album originally, but I bought Doojoon off another Facebook person. Wow, I have some luck with Kikwang right? (I also got his photocard in Midnight Sun, but I traded it for Doojoon :D)


 --
Next up is Sunggyu's photocard from Season 2. It's soooo beautiful! I bought it off my friend/acquaintance Jessica. I met her off Facebook too ^__^" It's so beautiful!
I also have Woohyun's coming in soon so you'll see that soon. Now I can sell my Sungjong and Dongwoo!


--

LAST but not least! It's my "Be Back" album!!! Ahhhh :D I got it earlier today.. well technically yesterday but you know what I mean.
It's such a gorgeous album.. and the photocards are gorgeous as well! I ended up with L/Myungsoo's photocard but I think I'm going to trade it for Sunggyu's from Jessica as well. Now I need to get my hands on a Woohyun! :)

I got this album from KR for $25 since I preordered it. I also ended up getting a free poster, which is totally worth it for $25 :D
(poster not pictured since I was too lazy to take it out of the tube but I'll put a picture from the internet in :p)


There's 3 posters for this album and I got this one for free:


I also really like this one, but I don't know if I'll have to order it online since KR didn't have it in stock :(




Alrighty that's it!
Bye bye, til next time~
