Daily Style: New boots!

I haven't done a daily style post in quite some time, but now that I have a new camera, I've been much more motivated to record my day-to-day casual outfits and post them! And I just recently got some new boots, which I've been absolutely in love with, and trying to coordinate as much as possible!

They are from the Simply Vera by Vera Wang line, which I purchased at Kohl's! I'd never really shopped at a Kohl's before this, and I was thoroughly impressed with the brands and prices they had available! I will definitely be shopping there again soon!! Now, onto the outfits!

Scarf: F21
Sweater: F21
Cords: F21
Boots: Simply Vera by Vera Wang
Bag: ALDO

Bought the scarf and cords recently as well! I've been on the hunt for really nice corduroy pants for a really long time, and I really love these ones! So comfy and a really nice colour too :3 This was just a simple outfit for school, but I really like it! :D

Cardigan: F21
Lace top: F21

Skirt: H&M
Boots: Simply Vera by Vera Wang

Wore this outfit on Remembrance day (as you can see from the poppy on the lapel of my sweater). Didn't really have any particular inspiration for this outfit, I was in a bit of a retro girly mood that morning I guess. Loved this outfit all the same! 

I'm trying to post more often, but between school, having a weak immune system, and my new job, its been tough! Hopefully things will start to slow down a bit so I can blog more! There are still so many things I want to blog about!! ;_;

Until next time! :)

Youmacon 2011 (photo heavy!)

Hey guys! I'm actually being pretty punctual with my blog posts now, haha! So, as you all know, I went to Youmacon this Saturday! I went with two of my friends, and we had such a great time! Youmacon is definitely one of the smaller conventions, but it's gotten a lot bigger in recent years! Attendance last year was over 9000, I believe? Don't quote me on that, but it was quite a large group! And it definitely felt like there were more people there this year in comparison to last year. But anyways, lets get to the photos! I had my new camera with me, so the quality is quite nice too :D

First up are some pictures of the location!

The first two photos are of Windsor's skyline. Youmacon is in downtown Detroit at the Renaissance Centre, which is right on the Detroit River. And there's a large outdoor area that's right by the water, so you got a nice view of the city while you were there. The third pictures is of (me holding) the Rennaisance Centre! It's such a gorgeous building to hold a convention in, because the whole atrium of the building is glass so you get lots of natural light all day. It was especially nice for photos! The only thing is some of the areas of the RenCen are kind of smallish, so some events got a little crowded at times, but other than that, very nice! And the convention this year was so well organized, the crowding was hardly a bother!  

This is a photo of the atrium from the third floor of the atrium. It's very open and a good area for meeting up with people or sitting and relaxing between panels, etc. There are also a lot of shops lining the atrium, where you can purchase food and drinks, as well as a food court further back on the first floor. Also, since this building is the GM building, the very centre houses a showroom of cars!! Which makes for some interesting photo ops, haha.

Now let's take a peek at some of my cosplay photos!

Halloween!

Hey everyone! So as promised, I am going to share some of my Spirit Week/Halloween photos with you guys! I meant to put them up sooner, but you know how life is sometimes. A pain in the butt. Anyways, here are some of the photos!

Personal Panda: Recent (& upcoming!) Events!

Hey everybody! So, I know I've been like, the slowest blogger ever recently, but hopefully everything will be going up from here!

The next couple of weeks I am VERY excited for, and for two reasons. Reason number one is that the upcoming week is SPIRIT WEEK at my school! Most schools will have a Spirit Day, but my school likes to go a little bit further than that and have full weeks of school spirit! And since this years first Spirit Week is leading up to Halloween day, this years themes are mostly Halloween themed! And I definitely plan on posting pictures of all my outfits for the next week!

The themes this year are: Black & Orange Monday, Vampire Tuesday, Witch & Wizard Wednesday, Super Sweet Thursday, and Zombie Friday! And then the following Monday is Halloween, so it will end with everyone wearing Halloween costumes!

The second reason why I'm so excited is because the next weekend is Youmacon! I'm so stoked, because I've been dying to cosplay for the last month or so, and now I basically get two weeks of cosplay, haha! I checked the guest list today to, and I'm very excited to see some of the guest this year! I really want to go and see Lemon Demon/Potter Puppet Pals this year, as I always seem to miss them when I go to Youmacon!

While I'm on the topic of Youmacon, lets talk cosplay! Youmacon is in less than two weeks, and I haven't started my cosplay. Ha. Haha. Orz. However, I did get my Luka wig delivered to me today, and I tried it on immediately!

I look gross because I just got home from school ; ^ ;

The lighting in this photo is subpar, but you get the idea. The wig is soooo soft and silky, and the bangs only need to be trimmed a little bit! It also came with a really good wig cap, so I'm super psyched. When I have my hands on a better camera, I'll take some better pictures of the wig and what not!

And the last note I'm going to post here is: I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the lord, I'm actually going to be able to afford cosplay now! I start training next week, and will be working by early November! I'm so excited about this. Please wish me luck xD

And now I have to go work on a few assignments and projects and what not =____=;;

Until next post! :D

Personal Panda: 17 forever!

I'm a horrible blogger. I know.

But I celebrated my 17th birthday on Wednesday, and it was awesome! :D I'm getting a new camera from my parents, and I am extremely excited! The main reason why I haven't been blogging as much lately is that all my blog plans are for posting gets and coords, but I haven't had a camera to take pictures with!! And it's very frustrating, because I've had so much I want to show you guys and I haven't been able too! I also haven't found a good place to photograph my clothes yet, and its proving very difficult to do so in my attic room :S

But other than that, I've been quite busy with school recently, I actually just finished a project ten minutes ago xD Dance is being very taxing, a lot of hard work, and its very tiring. And I've been selected to do the annual tours to all the grade schools to talk about our expanded arts program, so now I have to choreograph a solo for that. Woo.

In other news, I had a preliminary job interview today! I was super excited, and I really hope I get called back for the second interview~ I need a job so badly ; ^ ; I am suffering!

On a cosplay note, I am ordering my Luka wig soon (I hope), and I'm on the hunt for silk flowers to use on the headpiece! Hopefully I'll have some progress pics to show off soon!

Anyways, I'm going to go play my new favourite game, Fiesta! It's a pretty good free MMORPG! I've been addicted to it the last week or so. Do any of you play Fiesta? If you do, and are playing on the Apoline server, let me know! I'm always looking for people to play with :D

Until next time, and hopefully with pictures~
