Anyways, as promised, I'm going to post some photos of some of the items I purchased/featured in my haul video. I don't have all the items I showed (mostly the makeup has been left out), because I'm probably going to make a review post on those products a little bit later on!

I bought a ton of kick ass sweaters! I plan on going back and raiding the story soon for other cool items, so I'll hopefully be posting about that soon as well! For now, here's a preview shot of my sweaters :3


They are such funny awesome sweaters! And they were so cheap too *w* Thrifting is going to be my new addiction, I can feel it...

Recent Gets + Style Inspiration!

Howdy y'all! So I'm officially into my third week of summer vacation, and I am thoroughly enjoying it :3 I know this is no excuse for my lack of postage, but I've just been a very laxy TV watching butt for the last couple of days while I recuperated from all the grad parties I've been attending :< hahaha. So far I've rewatched all of Avatar: The Last Airbender, finished off Legend of Korra and Game of Thrones, and just recently started watching Community! All very good, if you haven't watched Game of Thrones yet, I highly recommend it!! *w* It's excellent!

Anyways, onto the main point of this post: some recent summer-y gets! If you follow my Tumblr (which you all should, I blog much more frequently on there, although it's significantly more personal), you'll know I've been heavily influenced by the Pastel Goth style recently! A friend and I have actually started our own Pastel Goth blog, which you can follow here if you're interested!

So here are a few pieces from my most recent shopping trip!

BDG Dip-dye high-waist shorts, Urban Outfitters

Polka dot collared shirt with cut-outs, F21

Sheer star pattern tank with Peter pan collar, F21

Daily Style: Florals! (+ some gets)

Hey y'all! So today was my first day off form rehearsal in a very long while, and I've been taking great advantage of it by sleeping a relaxing all day! I also did a little bit of shopping this afternoon as well, and I'll show you a couple of my gets in a bit! But first I want to show an outfit I wore for a friend's birthday dinner a little while ago.

Happy Valentine's Day! (LUSH!)


First order of business, Happy Valentine's Day! I'm celebrating my seventeenth straight single Valentine's day this year! (Forever alone... ; ^ ; lol). I've made it through the day! But not without a few choice products from Lush's Valentine's day collection!

Chou Chou... I Love You! Toothy Tabs 

Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar

I already plan on going back to Lush to try and scoop up any leftover Vday products! I sent my sister a nice fat slice of their Sweetheart soap as well, and bought these goodies for myself. :D

Toothy Tabs, for those of you who don't know, are solid toothpaste tablets! To use, you place a tablet in your mouth, break it up with your teeth, and then brush with a wet toothbrush! They are very convenient, and work surprisingly well! I've tried about 4 of the regular flavours, but I am absolutely in LOVE with the Valentine's day ones! They have the same fragrance/taste as the Rose Jam bubbleroon and Ro's Argan Body Conditioner, which is a gorgeous Turkish rose and lemon. They truly leave your breath smelling like roses! It's quite different from your standard mint, but I can't get enough of this flavour! I'll have to stock up before they sell out :3

The Magic Mushroom bubble bar is a returning favourite, and that's no surprise! It has a gorgeous strawberry-vanilla scent, and it just looks so cute! With about half of the bar, you get mountains of creamy strawberry bubbles, and its just absolute heaven! Especially after a long day at rehearsals =____=;; Another product I hoping to stock up more of, but this product always sells out so quickly! I hope I can snatch up another couple this weekend ><

And yes, I spent my whole Valentine's day at school, then rehearsal all night! Such is the life I lead ;__; Phantom of the Opera opens next Friday, so the pressures really on now! I've been at rehearsal every night after school until 10:30 pm for the last two weeks, and its really starting to take a toll on me! I miss the days where I just got to sleep all the time :'D But it'll be over before I know it, and that'll be a little sad!

Anyways, I have some chemistry homework to finish up, so I'll leave y'all for now! I want to post again soon, hopefully in the next couple of days?

Until then, happy Valentine's day! <3

Wigs!

Hey guys! How good of me, blogging two days in a row! :D I'm on a roll right now! Woo!

Anyways, today my second wig arrived in the mail! I was super stoked when I got home from rehearsals, because I was chattering endlessly to people about how excited I was for Anime North and the cosplays I was doing today. So I immediately took it out and tried it on, because when I get a new wig, that's just what I do. So I'm gonna share some photos of my two new wigs, and do some mini-reviews of the eBay sellers that I bought them from!



This was the first wig to arrive. This is for my Melty cosplay, which I am doing for the Saturday of Anime North. The eBay seller I ordered this from is cos-wig. They are located in China, and have 99.6% positive feedback!

The estimated shipping time was between 14 and 20 business days, and it got here in 13! So I was very pleased about that. The wig was packaged well too, in a bubble envelope. The wig was in a wig net, inside of a plastic bag, and came with one of those free black mesh hair nets, which I actually like quite a bit! The seller also packed a little business card in with the wig, which I really liked, since I'll remember to buy from them again! Also, shipping was free and this wig only cost me $24! It's a little thin in a few spots but it's not noticeable unless you are looking directly down on top of my head, hahaha. The fibers are really soft too!





The second wig to arrive is for my Gumi cosplay! This wig was from a seller on eBay named yucui2008. Another seller from China, with 99.7% positive feedback! This wig was $21, and came with free shipping as well.

The estimated shipping time for this one was 15 to 25 business days, and it came in 15, so spot on! This wig was a little less well packaged, as it was not mailed in a bubble envelope, but the bag they sent it in was made of a thick plastic and was well sealed! This wig also came in a wig net inside a plastic bag, and more black mesh hair nets! >:D wahaha. They also sent me a pair of earrings as a free gift, which was very nice! The wig looks a little bit different from the picture they had on the listing, but it's a marginal difference. It's also a little bit more lime-y in colour than I thought it would be, but I'm okay with that! This wig is also really soft, and looks like it'll be super easy to manage :D I'm just going to have to trim the longer parts in the front, since I find them to be a little too long.

I've always had good experiences ordering my cosplay wigs from eBay, although I've heard lots of peoples horror stories about ordering from eBay as well. But usually if they have a really high positive feedback percentage, they are pretty good! I only order if they have something in the 99% or higher ^^.

Anyway, that's all for today! I need to go to bed now, since second semester starts tomorrow (well, I guess today now LOL), and I've got class at 7:40 AM ;__;.

Good night y'all! I have another blog post planned for the next couple of days, so please look forward to it :D

(P.S. I started reading the Hunger Games books! Have any of you read them? What do you think about them??)

Happy CNY!

Gong xi fa cai! Today is Chinese New year! :D


It's the Year of the Dragon this year! The Dragon year is very auspicious, so anything could happen! Let's hope  we're all very lucky this year! :D I certainly hope I will be!

This year I've been paying particularly good attention to CNY customs and superstitions! A few of which I didn't know about until this year. Like you're not supposed to wash your hair or sweep your house on the day of, or else you'll wash/sweep your good luck away! Another good luck charm, so to speak, is to wear new clothes on CNY! So, I did a little CNY shopping a few days ago! Here are some of my gets!

Flowy floral top - H&M

Coral-pink-white printed cropped tee - F21

Bright coral cardigan - F21

Cowboy tie-front cropped tee - H&M

Bright coral burnout tee - Urban Planet

BlushxBlack Hello Kitty pattern cardigan - F21

The Hello Kitty cardigan I actually got for Christmas, but I really felt like sharing it because it's so cute! :D I tried to buy some brightly colours items, and some spring-y styles as well! Even though its still dead cold here in Canada, I'm hoping Spring weather will come sooner this year! ; O ; 

Also, I'm developing a ridiculous obsession with cropped tees, so you'll be seeing lots of those in my gets and outfits in the upcoming months!



I also bought one of F21's cute ecobags (only $1.50!), and this one features a super cute print of a Japanese robot family! I really love the dog :D

On a tech related note, I finally realized why I couldn't upload videos from my new camera! It's because it records in AVCHD, and I need a special video converter to use the files on my camera ; ^ ;. So there won't be any new videos on my channel until I can get some decent software to convert the video! Do any of you know of any good ones?!

Anyways, I have to go finish one of my FSEs now, so hopefully you'll be hearing from me again soon!

Until next time!

Today Was The Best Day EVER.

You wanna know why!? Because I am in Las Vegas, I ate the best tuna ever, I bought an awesome head band, AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.
.

.
.
I BOUGHT JEFFERY CAMPBELL "LITA"s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for crap photos, lighting in hotel room is sucky!!

They are honestly the coolest shoe I have ever had the honour of owning. Seriously. I was passing by a shoe store in the Planet Hollywood shops, and these immediately jumped out at me! I was so psyched to see JC's IN THE FLESH, and be able to covet them like I have always wanted to! 



And honestly, these shoes are so comfortable and easy to wear! Even though they are so high (5" heel with 2" platform!), they are very easy to walk in, and just so awesome. I had the best time watching people stare at them all night when we were out for dinner ;D

Speaking of dinner, I had the most delicious food today at Emeril Lagasse's restaurant at the MGM Grand, and I ate Red Chile Crusted Ahi Tuna over Pineapple & Coconut rice with tempura Bok Choy and Dark Rum Syrup. Long name, I know. BUT IT WAS SO DELICIOUS.

(I had already eaten some of this when I took the picture... I'M SUCH A BAD BLOGGER D:)

I was kind of worried when I saw the fish and it was so rare! But it was PERFECT. The tuna was sooooo silky and tender and buttery! It all but melted in your mouth! And the rice was really sweet and yummy <3 I just want to eat it all the time!!

Anyways, its getting pretty late here and I must be going to bed! I'm going to do a full Vegas post probably when I get home, so please look forward to it!

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!! :D

Fairy Drops!

Hello everybody! Today I am doing a non-sponsored review of the hit mascara FAIRY DROPS 'Scandal Queen'! I've been hearing lots of great things about this mascara so I decided to give it a try since it is now available at Sephora! Here is the description of the mascara given by the people at Sephora:


"This do-it-all mascara is blended with fiber to give you lush, doll-like lashes. The unique brush catches even the tiniest lashes, defines, lengthens, and provides all-day curl. 

FAIRYDROPS mascara was created by Japanese TV personality Aya Yasuda. Realizing that the eyes are the secret to making a great impression, she was inspired to create a new mascara wand that is now patented in Japan. The Scandal Queen formula is available exclusively in the U.S."

Princess Camera!

Hey everybody! So, quick post today about this really cute App I found for the iPhone/iPod touch! It's called Princess Camera!

Thats what the app looks like!

It's a really cute "purikura" app that you can use, with or without a camera on your iPod/iPhone. Here's some of the features that it advertises. 


So basically, it allows you to lighten your photos, decorate them and exchange them with your friends! It's a very fun App, and only costs $2.99! A cheap price for such a fun little App! Anyways, heres an example of what it can do :)

Before,


and After!


It's really fun to play around with, and definitely worth a try! I hope you enjoy it :) I've only had it for about ten minutes and I've been playing with it non-stop!! Have fun :D
