Update

Whew, it's been a while since I've updated my blog! I'll probably have multiple blog posts a day since I've been lagging. It's my fourth week back to school since winter break and so far, I'm settling in well. This semester I'm taking, "Fashion Coordination" which is a course that deals with planning the annual fashion show at my college in May. As a class, the theme we came for this year's show is EVOKE.
I'll be blogging more updates about it once my class gets rolling. Needless to say, I feel rejuvenated and inspired again. I'm looking forward to a great semester :)

Just in case

you forget who I am (since I haven't posted up any recent pictures of myself), here's me on a bored warm winter day

"If at first you don't succeed, try, and try again."

H&M Dresses

Bridesmaid Dress

 

 My cousin spotted out this dress while we were browsing through H&M and thought I should try it on. I took it off the rack, tried it on, and fell in love with it! Though the material of this dress wasn't what I was looking for, the style of this dress was what I was looking for. Something simple and NOT strapless. I think the tulle gives this dress a ballerina look and the exposed silver zipper at the back adds an edge to it. Instead of coral and green as the colors for my cousins wedding as it was previously, the theme is now Sparkles. So I'm planning to go to Joanns and buy a diamond chain to use as a belt. I can't wait to post up photos from the wedding soon!

Grey Elegance

I told myself I wasn't going to spend any more money on clothes, but of course I just couldn't help myself when I walked into H&M's winter sale. I spotted this dress right away and was hesitant at first to buy it, but after trying it on, I knew I had to get it. I think this dress gives off an elegant and sophisticated feel. Besides, this dress was on sale for only $10, I couldn't pass up on that offer ;P

Bridesmaid Dress Recap

A few months ago, I posted a a blog about my order of a bridesmaid dress from Hautelook.com. Well to give you all an update, the dress came a week later after that post, and it turned out, the medium was just too loose on me. I wasn't able to return it since it was a final sale, so I've decided that when I go back to school after break, I'll sell it somewhere.

In the meantime, I found a bridesmaid dress from H&M that fits and bought it. I'll post a picture of it on my next post ;D

My Style

These are pictures of my previous OOTDs, from my tumblr. I wished blogspot had a webcam picture option as Tumblr does, where I can take photos of my OOTD and just upload them on here. Oh well, you have to work with what you have right?

My personal style as you can see is just really plain and simple ;)

Happy Halloween

Barbie blowing love your way

I hoped everyone had a great Halloween weekend.

Bridesmaid Dress

I just ordered my Bridesmaid dress tonight from HauteLook. I can't wait to receive it in the mail and try it on! As I wrote in one of my earlier posts, my cousin will be getting married (next February) and her colors will be black, silver, etc...It's going to be a winter wedding, so hopefully there will be no snow storms and things will go as plan. In the meantime, here is the dress I ordered. I will post up pictures soon of myself wearing it, when it comes in. There was no more size "Small," so I ordered a "Medium" instead. Hopefully it's not to loose on me, if it is, I'll have my mom tuck it in or if worse comes to worse, I'll sell it.

Charlie

Bow Sheath Dress

I know this dress is just really simple, but I love it. Besides, I was aiming for a dress with a neckline anyways, so this one is perfect.

Asymmetrical

I'm super excited to see that my hair is growing! LOL, I'm always googling new hair styles and I definietly CANNOT wait for my hair to grow out so I can try out this hairstyle.

Isn't it just lovely?! This is going to be my hairstyle for next school year. Though I know asymmetrical haircuts are really in this year, who says you have to be "in" on everything?

Lipstick♥

I normally do not buy or wear lipstick, but after watching endless makeup tutorials on youtube with the makup gurus using lipstick I decided to give it a try and took out my few lipsticks I have bought throughout the year.
I am def. looking forwards to getting more shades and colors! I apologize beforehand for the bad lighting. In the first picture you can barely pick out the color of the lipstick I'm wearing, but it's a nice soft pink shade.

I really want a coral shade and I'm still looking for the perfect nude lipstick, that hopefully doesn't make me look sick. LOL. What are some of your favorite shades/brands of lipstick?

Every/Any Ecoist Wrislet

I came upon www.ecoist.com a while back while I was doing some research about fair trade stores. Ecoist is a fair trade company that sells purses, clutches, wristlets, etc.. made out of all sorts of recycled materials such as candy wrappers, news papers, magazines etc... All of the products are uniquely handmade and for every purchase, a tree is planted! Isn't that neat?
If you're into green products or you're interested to see some, I advise you guys to go check out the website and possibly make a purchase of your own.

Here's what I just ordered today!

Every/Any MagazineWristlet 

$28.00

 

Isn't it cute?!?! Gahh, I can't wait to receive it in the mail and take it out with me.

H&M SALE

If you didn't know, H&M is having a CRAZY GOOD SALE going on right now! I've made a few trips there at my local mall and bought something each trip. I know as a college student who is home for the summer and who doesn't have a job shouldn't be spending money on clothing, BUT I cannot help it=/ These sales are just to good of a deal to past up! *Sigh, I'll be going to the mall tomorrow again and HOPEFULLY, I can restrain myself from buying more clothes! HOWEVER-I shouldn't feel to bad right since all of the clothing I buy are usually always on sale. I seriously don't remember a time where I bought any clothing for full price, unless it was under $20.00.
In the meantime, here are photos of some of my best steals (no, not steal as in actually stealing).

H&M Cropped Top

Originally: $7.??

Sale:$3.00

Plain and simple the way I like things! I couldn't resist the $3.00 and bought three of them. The gray, coral and navy (not pictured) ones. Since these were the last ones on the shelf, they were all large (I usually wear mediums). Nevertheless, they still fit me fine.

I'll post up more photos from my H&M sale hauls very soon.

Madden Girl.

Hello, hello! I just wanted to share with you all a recent purchase of high heels I bought yesterday at DSW. They were originally $44.94, but was on clearance for 40% off. My total purchase came out to be $26.96. I have always been a flat girl and would only wore high heels to special occasions, but NOW, I'm inlove with heels and would def. wear them with my everyday outfits! LOL, I want to get more pairs of them in all sorts of cuts, designs, and colors. So, this pair of heels will be the official start of my new heels collection.

What really attracted me to this particular pair of heels was the design of it. I've seen a lot of gladiator style heels, but never one like this. The thick leather straps that laces up reminds me of a ballerina and the plat form of the shoes reminds me of a rocker chick. I can't wait to wear these babies out and start her story.  

Zipia.Net

I came across www.zipia.net in middle school and loved LOVED loved all of the clothes that were sold on the website. Zipia is an online mall where one can purchase clothing from different Korean brands. There are endless selections of clothing for all types of occasion for BOTH men and women. Unfortunately, today still, in order to purchase the items on this website, one needs to have a minimum order of $300 u.s dollars. Perhaps one day when I get a real world job, I'll make an order on this website,
Nevertheless, I still love coming onto this website to just look at what's new and in, in the Korean fashion trends.If you guys haven't checked it out yet, you guys should! However, I believe one will have to make an account before you can view the clothing sold. If you have to, you should just do it. I guarantee you'll go back on the website just to look at all the different styles of clothing=)

Here are some of my favorite styles from the website:
