Black Friday & Cyber Monday Haul

Hello lovelies!

I know I'm super late, but still I wanted to show you the items I bought during black friday and cyber week. For my non-American readers, Black friday is the day a year when stores open late and have the best deals in the year. Lots of items on sale, people go crazy. I've never gone to the stores on Black Friday, crowded places are not my thing. But I shopped online and took the opportunity to purchase Christmas presents for my loved ones, and a few things for myself.

I won't be showing you the presents because I don't want my loved ones to see them... yet.

American Eagle Oufitters

I got these burgundy skinny pants. They were 40% off and they had free shipping.

Juicy Couture

They were also having a 40% off sale with free shipping. So I got this bracelet I've been wanting since forever. I so regret not buying the matching necklace.

H&M

Got his faux fur coat for $16, original price $60.

Basic black shirt for $5.

Black & White skirt, it wasn't on sale, but it wasn't expensive $13

My boyfriend got me this parka. It was 30% off

This olive jeans were only $10

Did you guys got something on black friday?

Taobao Haul no. 3

Hello lovelies!

I purchased some items from taobao recently. It had been a while since the last time I bought from there. As usual, I used Taobaospree as my shopping service and once again I'm very happy with their service.

Vivienne Westwood Cardigan

Super happy with this, it's not too warm though. Surprisingly good quality for 50 yuan. 

 Grey Plaid Skirt

I wasn't too sure if I liked this because I have wider hips and bigger butt than the model on taobao. I thought it made me look super big,  but I found out if I wear it with a baggy top it doesn't look too bad.

Liz Lisa Spring 2013 Floral Pink Skirt

I had seen this on the Liz Lisa website during the spring. But I wasn't sure if it would fit due to my butt and hips so I never purchased it, but it fits great.

Liz Lisa Fall 2013 Pink Shirt.

I originally wanted the shirtin white, but it sold out in both taobao and Liz lisa website. At first I really like it because it is very soft and beautiful but I just washed it once and it is falling apart.

Liz Lisa Winter 2012 White Blouse

 I like this shirt for more formal outfits.

 Liz Lisa Spring 2011 Cream Shirt

This top is very cute and soft, but I have a feeling it will fall apart in the washer too because the sticking is poorly done.

Prepping for Fall+ Halloween

Hello lovelies!

I know I've had my blog a little abandoned, but it's been 2 months since I don't have a computer. I have only been able to use my Dad's computer, boyfriend's or my job's computer when I have a chance. Thus it's quite difficult to blog. So I guess today I will show you a few things I've bought.

I bought the black ballerina flats I've been wanting for a while. They look so chic, I have gotten complements on them. They really look like pointe shoes! The only thing I don't like so much is that they don't have a lot of cushion, so I can't really use them to go out on a long walk.

Lately I've been having a love and hate relationship with Forever21, more of hate to be honest. It used to be my one stop shop because I could always find something pretty there. But lately I hate their stuff. It's like their clothes are for a female version of G-Dragon. You know, lots of black, with studs, spikes, bright colors, the "SWAG" and "West Coast" shirts. Not really something I like to wear myself.

I did find a few things online though, but I had to dig through the website.

I found this pullover for only $10. I like the bows in the back.

Also found this overall dress. I see this kind of dress is really popular in the Japanese magazines this fall. Apparently black and white is big for this season.

Also on found this jewellery box for only $5. It's super bad quality though. It's very fragile, and who ever painted it did a not so good job.

I'm really liking the preppy look right now. I think it looks more mature, classy but still has a bit of cuteness. I'm especially liking outfits like this.

I had not realized this, but Halloween is only a few days ago, and I have not bought my costume.
I decided I'm going to be Marie Antoinette. Since watching the movie  I had been wanting to dress up as Marie Antoinette for a while, but for some reason I never bought the costume.

Kirsten Dunst in "Marie Antoinette"

 So looking online I found this website Trashy. They have the most gorgeous costumes ever!

Like can I wear this everyday? Too bad they are around $300 each.

I've also been thinking if I should buy the white wig because it really completes the costume. I'm even considering the "hair ship" like Kirsten Dunst had in the movie.

It's really over the top, but that's what Marie Antoinette was all about!

New Liz Lisa Stuff

Hello lovelies!

If you guys are a reader of mine you know of my love for Liz Lisa. I hadn't purchased from the brand in a while. To be honest, I was avoiding visiting the website because I didn't want to spend too much money, but I saw they restocked some items I've been loving for so long, so I purchased them because they were also having a sale. They are getting rid of their spring/summer items.

I finally have a Liz Lisa Champouf, and it's a a pink one, and it's huge!

Since I found out about it I've been wanting one, but they rarely sell them on the website. I finally have one, it's so fluffy and soft. It also has rosy cheeks, I'm so in love with it. ♥

Also bought this cushion cover. If it weren't so bright it would match my bedding.

Finally a pink pullover. I love the bows detailing around the shoulders.

That's it for today!

Getting ready for Cancun haul

Hello lovelies!
I just realized that I have less than a month left until I go to Cancun!

I have most of my stuff ready, like swimsuits, toiletries, and clothes. I still need  luggage, comfy sandals, a backpack and one of those u-shaped pillows for the plane. I still need to get in shape, I have a bit of back fat that I would like to get rid of before I go, so I have been working out to the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, I like the results I'm seeing, especially on my butt xD.

One of the places we want to visit are asking us to use biodegradable sunscreen. I didn't even know that kind of sunscreen existed. Let me tell you it's not cheap! Like $17 dlls for less than 3oz. I can get my coppertone for like $3 for about the same amount. I feel robbed even though I haven't purchased it yet.

I have purchased some clothes, and finally my last bikini arrived!

My tie dye bikini from victorias secret pink

this top is from dELIA*s I loved the pastel colors

From dELIA*s as well

 

I saw this and I had to get it! I love mean girls, but I don't know if i'm actually going to take it.

 Bandeaus from  victoria's secret pink

These Shorts are from Forever21, they were only $8!

I bought these a long time ago, they are also from victorias secret pink

These two makeup bags from Forever21

The makeup bags have to fit all of these!

This pullover is from Forever21, but the in the picture looks so weird, in real life is super pretty.

 

 This has to be the most interesting thing I've bought, a waterproof camera!

To be honest I was a bit worried to take my good camera to Cancun, because we're basically going to be in the water most of the time, I didn't want to sacrifice not having pictures at all. I didn't want to take a disposable camera, because you never know how your pictures will turn out. Also didn't want to spend too much on a new camera, so I found this camera pretty cheap at target! it was $80 but it came with a $10 gift card, so basically it only cost me $70. Best thing is that it came with the case and the floatable strap, it might not be super fancy but it does what it is suppose to do. I tested it out yesterday at the pool, and it worked pretty well. The water didn't leak inside. Here is one of the pictures I took.

Recent Hauls: Sasa, Victoria's Secret, Jeffrey Campbell

Hey guys!
I wanted to show you what I have purchased recently. I haven't purchased clothes nor any makeup in so long.

I bought bikinis from Victoria's Secret

I'm going on a vacation this summer, so I need bikinis. I have been buying little by little because VS swimwear is not that cheap, but they have the cutest bikinis and I love that you can mix and match them with almost anything in their collection. I'm still waiting for 2 more tops and one more bottom though.

From Sasa I bought a lot of masks

Probably enough stock for an entire year. The masks are from Innisfree, My Beauty Diary, Face Q, Beauty Mate, and Love More.

Lastly I got my first pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes

These are called "Delphia" I had been looking for a very simple shoe with ankle straps, and I'm so glad I found these because they are super comfortable.

That's it for today

New Liz Lisa Spring Lucky Bag

Hey guys!
Today's entry is going to be very short. Some of you may know that Liz Lisa releases some Lucky bags through the year. In March they realeased one and when I went to the website to purchase it they were already sold out. But in like 2 weeks after they restock it and I was able to get one.

I really like the bag itself. I think I will use it as a beach bag.
Inside came 2 tops, 1 bottom and 1 accesory.

This one look like a shirt I used to have when I was in High School

I'm not so sure about this one, I'm very concious about showing my stomach

I got 2 headbands

That's it
