visited the Newark Slough with my sis to get native plants. walked around a bit and took some pictures with the Sitacon, can't wait to see how they turn out! looking forward to tomorrow but dreading the rain! i hope it turns out well : ]

not needed

omg Amazon Prime, you make me want to buy unnecessary shit! i need to take advantage of Amazon Student!


bought the Conair Ion Shine Instant Heat Hair Setter along with one of my books for my asian american women's class. i wanted to get a hair setter to get more volume and looser curls. here's how it turned out!:





bought this Sitacon St-3 from my friend today. i'm not sure if it works still, but i'll find out eventually! i can't wait to use it at Treasure Island! going this Sunday : ]!!!

WTF

i was walking across a crosswalk when a white truck makes a turn and stops in the middle of the crosswalk. the guy inside yells "red hand means don't cross!" and speeds off.
he must have had a bad morning.



thrifted dress, zipia bag, charlotte russe flats


i bought these forever21 boots online and received them today. turns out they're different sizes, one is a size 7 and the other, a size 6. WTF! i love their fast shipping, but really? i hope i'll be able to return it in the store! : [

hodge podge

this week is finally over, but i have 2 more big things to do next week! ugh! but i had a good time over the weekend, watching Easy A and going thrift shopping with friends! shout out to kha and jimilyn who have discovered my secret life! lol.

we went thrift shopping the next day and stopped by salvation army, crossroads, and black and brown.


my haul: sleeveless printed dress and baggy vintage sweater for the fall from salvation army : ]
below the knee cream dress and a fedora i've been wanting from crossroads!
all in all, a good shopping trip with good friends! : ]

end of the week please

Lately, the boypren and I have been making food, and yesterday we made some sushi.



On the way home from the grocery, I wanted to pass by and get a Hello Kitty cell phone charm from those quarter machines, but got a Mario one last minute and got the one the boypren wanted. It was meant to be.

Went to the Silicon Valley Heart Walk today to participate and do my video project that's due on Tuesay (ugh). Passed by Mitsuwa after, ogled at the makeup, and got noms (the Pineapple Gokuri is delicious!). Passed by Kinokuniya as well and got a Nylon that was 50% off and had a bag with it. I love it when they're 50% off! (>_<)! But I was disappointed with the magazine, because I'm so used to the thick, pictured filled VIVI.



At first I thought this nail polish from Urban Outfitters was disgusting, but now I'm liking it because its slightly peachy tone matches better with my skin tone : ].

The only thing I'm looking forward to other than the end of this exam-filled, project deadlines filled week are the items I ordered from Zipia through my neighbor's group order. Hooray!




Especially excited for the shoes since they have a similar pair at Urban Outfitters that's more expensive. EEEEEEEE!

Lovelyshoes.net Haul/Initial Review Part 2

continued from the previous post!

3. Buckle Middle Height Cylinder Army Boot in Black, $10.86The stock photos that they had showed girls wearing these type of boots, but the one that I received was the one I had in mind. Sadly, they don't look good on me because of my muscular calves! T_T. I feel like these are really good quality and would definitely look good on a girl with skinny legs.

4. NANING9 Belt Round Toe Flat Heel Boot in Black, $12.75This pair is definitely one of the copies, but it's a good quality copy! The tongue of the shoe is puffy and the laces are the cheap stretchy kind. These also don't look good on me, but they're cute!

Overall, it was a good haul. I'll definitely order from them again, but this time order my correct size!!!

Lovelyshoes.net Haul/Initial Review Part 1

My obsession lately: fashion wholesales from Asia. First, it was Zipia.net, then Asia Fashion Wholesale, and the most exciting, Lovelyshoes.net. I couldn't resist!!!
I initially ordered 5 pairs of boots for $64.61. Their prices ranged from $10.86 to $14.75. I picked UPS for shipping and that was $57.41. My total was $122.02, meaning that each one was around $24 each which is a really good deal.
I ordered on a Sunday and on the following Sunday, I received an email saying that one of my items was out of stock. I decided to ship the in stock items and just get credit for the out of stock one. The items shipped on Monday and I received them today which is a Friday, so overall, it took 2 weeks total and 4 days to ship.
Right after they shipped it, I realized that I ordered the wrong size. My dumbass was so excited that I didn't read things clearly and thought the sizes were in European sizing. They're actually in China sizing. I ordered China size 37 which equals US size 6. All of them fit, but some are obviously not comfortable, so I'm planning to give some to my friend who is a size 5 1/2 and loves asian fashion too, so lucky her : ].
Another thing to note is the strong, out of the factory smell. At first, I thought it was fine. They smelled exactly like the wedges I got from Forever21, but then my eyes started to burn a little and even my sister smelled it from downstairs in the living room! They're outside in the backyard now, airing out.

Now on to the pictures!

All the shoes came in a small box. As you can see, they were squished in there, but they're in good shape.

1. Double-Buckle High Cylinder PU Material Boot in Brown, $12.25
I thought that these would be stiff, like shown in the picture, but they're not and they have a zipper near the ankle so it's easier to put on. It fit my size 7 feet. You do have to tug it all the way up though. Also, the knee area gets tight when you bend your knees. They're pretty cute for thigh high boots!

2. Overlapping Bandage Inclined Zipper Boots in Brown, $14.75
These are my favorite pair and the only pair I'll be able to keep! They fit my size 7 feet even though they're a size 6 and they're true to the stock photos.These are my favorite pair! They fit my size 7 feet even though it's a size 6 and they're true to the picture.
