Outfit of the Day- Lace Mini Dress

Sponsored Post

Hey guys!
It's been so long since I posted and outfit. I always complain about my room being dark. But I found a way to take outfit pictures!

Oasap.com sent me a pretty minidress. If you have never heard about Oasap before, it is an online clothing store specialized in street fashion.

This is the  V Neck Zipper Front Long Sleeve Lace Dress- $25
I paired the dress with a wide waist belt
Front
Back
Sleeve detail
Zipper detail

The dress was somewhat thin. So I would only expect this dress to be worn with a cardigan or during the summer/spring when it is not too cold. Also it is short. I'm very short, and I can still pull it off without any shorts underneath, but taller girls would definitely need to wear some pants or shorts.

I like that this dress can basically be worn 2 ways. With the zipper in the front and also in the back. I might add the zipper in the back looks elegant. It comes available in 3 colors. White, Black and Beige. Mine is beige.

Also I wasn't expecting this, but they also sent me this pretty Fox ring  $5
Pretty, right?

Also Oasap offers a 20% off discount for your first purchase. Check them out!

Spring is in the Air: Liz Lisa, Ank Rouge and Forever 21

Hey guys!
In a month is going to be spring. All stores are already bringing in all their spring collections, and as usual it is pastel overload. Lots of mints, lavender, pink and sky blue ♥
From Liz Lisa Spring Lookbook
Honestly, I feel so frustrated because I buy and look at cute clothes, but I have no occasion to wear them! I work all day and I have to wear hideous clothes like this:
It's so boring, and then come home at night at basically I just lounge in my PJ's. Some weekends I don't do anything at all, so I just wear yoga pants and some t-shirt.

I'm going to show you some things I've liked from browsing online these days. As you already know I really like that sweet gyaru look, so everything I'm about to show you falls into that "category"

First is my favorite brand Liz Lisa


Ank Rouge is slowly becoming one of my favorites too. Althought I don't down anything from this brand because every time I see something I like it's sold out.



Lastly Forever 21, not a gal brand, but it is great to find simple staple items in your wardrobe.

Hope you guys enjoyed.

More Valentines and Outdoor Weekend

Hey guys!
So I will talk about my valentines day again. I got a lot of flowers, which I wasn't expecting at all. Sorry for the crappy photos, but I took these with my phone.
From my boyfriend
From a Coworker
From a client
From my boyfriend too
 I also got a ridiculous amount of chocolate :S I'm going to have so many pimples in the coming weeks.
My boyfriend and I went out for dinner, we had Italian food. I'm not really into Italian food because it's all cheese and pasta with the sauce, and I think all tastes the same, but my boyfriend really wanted Italian, so we went to Little Italy.

I had so much fun this weekend!. It was totally unexpected. My boyfriend is going to participate in a 50 mile bike race so I told him we needed to train together.  Which we didn't really do. We were planning on going biking just me and him, but the bikes didn't fit in his car, so we ended up inviting his sister who has a jeep and his cousin. Next day we went hiking, we climbed up Otay Mountain which is 12k both ways. We didn't reach the top because the sun was about to set down, and there is virtually not a single soul around there so we just jogged our way down. I think we walked up around 4 or 5K.

Picture spam

We then went home, took a shower and we went to the movies to see "Side Effects" Really recommend this movie. It's one of those that has an "unexpected" ending.

New Liz Lisa Stuff & Valentines

Hey guys!
So I purchased again from Liz Lisa. They were having a crazy sale right after new years. A really good sale, up to 70% off! I didn't have too much money so I couldn't get everything I wanted. By the time I saved up enough money it was the last few days of the sale and almost everything was sold out. So I only got 3 items.
Romper
Dress
Pullover
The pullover is incredibly pretty. In real life it looks like a golden caramel color. I honestly hate how these pictures turned out. The lighting in my new room is horrible. It's always dark and ugggh I hate it. My pink room had great lighting despite having a tiny window. This room has a bigger windows but is like light never ever comes near! The only place in this room where the lighting is decent it's the bathroom! I can't take all my picture in there.

I have been considering getting one of those ring lights. You know, professional equipment... BUT it is so expensive and bulky.  The only other way to change the settings in my camera, I don't even know how to use my camera properly. My camera has GPS and I don't even know how to use it! let alone switching to manual settings to change the aperture and shutter speed. It's too complicated.

Well today is Valentine's day. My boyfriend and I are going out for dinner at one Italian restaurant in downtown. My boss gave me a big box of chocolate, and another coworker gave me a rose. One of our clients gave me flowers ^.^!

I haven't seen my boyfriend today, but he told me he also bought me flowers yay!

Vassen Rainbow Eyes Greenish Blue Review

Sponsored post

Hey guys!
once again I have another circle lens review that was kindly sponsored by loveshoppingholics.com.


Origin: Korea
Diameter: 14.5
Base Curve: 8.6
Water Content: 42%
Lifespan: 1 Year

Comfort ♥♥♥♥♡ Fairly comfy, I took them after 6 hours but I had not discomfort or drying sensation during those 6 hours.

Color ♥♥♥♥♥ By far these are the most vibrant lenses I have. Usually colored lenses don't show up that well on people with dark eyes, but these are very vibrant and show up so well on my brown eyes.These wouldn't really be suitable for someone who is looking for a natural look.
Enlargement ♥♥♥♥♡ I love the enlargement on these. It's perfect, not too big, nor too small to not be visible at all.

Overall I really like these lenses, I some people telling me my eyes looked pretty.

Also Loveshoppingholics sent me a discount code for you guys. Type at checkout 1000160035 and you will receive $2 off your purchase.

Vassen Jewel Brown Review

Sponsored Post

Hey guys!
Loveshoppingholics sent me two pairs of circle lenses to review. The One I will be reviewing on this post are the Vassen Jewel Brown.  Here is everything they sent me.

I had never received such and adorable packaging!


Origin: Korea
Diameter: 14.5
Base Curve: 8.6
Water Content: 42%
Life Span: 1 Year

Comfort ♥♥♥♥♥ These are very comfortable, I don't even feel them the moment I put them on.
Color ♥♥♥♥♡ Brown is simply one of my favorite color for lenses. The lens itself looks a bit more yellow, but when I put them on my eyes they look like they have a red tint making them look kind of vampiresque.
Enlargement ♥♥♥♡♡ Because these lenses don't have a solid black ring, but have a faint and pixelated ring they look very natural. The enlargement is minimal, and almost the same as a 14.0mm lens.


Overall I really like these lenses, they give a unique look and they are not too big, and don't make my small eyes look alienesque.

Also Loveshoppingholics sent me a discount code for you guys. Type at checkout 1000160035 and you will receive $2 off your purchase.
