What happened?

Nothing really, just too much work. Took my last belated midterm (my prof kept pushing it off) yesterday and now I am home free! Not really, finals are coming up right around the corner but UNTIL then, I will be blogging - oh yeah!

I FINALLY got a new camera. It's a Nikon (I had a Sony for 6 (?)years) and starting today's post, almost all photos will be taken with my new camera! I am in love with my new camera! Lol, funny story though. I calculated the cost of the camera + NY tax and came up with how much I needed. So I needed $X and I saved just enough but I seemed to have forgotten (yes I was that excited to buy my camera and I'm not that smart, apparently) that I need a memory card as well. So in the end, no I did not pay for EVERYTHING since my mom paid for my 4gb memory card. I am still such a child.

I'm still learning how to use my camera. Two things I'm still getting used to:
a) For my Sony camera, I typically charged the battery by itself (outside of the camera body) but for my new Nikon one, I must charge with the battery inside the camera body. I'm not sure if all Nikon cameras are like this but it's just different!
b) Same idea for importing photos. For my Sony camera, I only had to take out the memory card but now I need to plug it in my camera body to import.

BUT THE PICTURES ARE AMAZING! So much better than my Sony.

It was my mom's birthday last week and we went to the city to eat/shop. We picked up things she wanted but I didn't want to leave empty handed even though it wasn't MY birthday. So I asked if we can stop by h&m and we did! Picked up three things for myself:



A dusty pink bag which was $24.95, I don't know why the tag is flipped over like that lol. And two polka dot scarves that were $4.95 each (regular $6.95). Sorry for the black shadow on the left, my chair is REALLY black and it created this weird shadow lol.

Junk food post preview!

but it won't all be easy like this...

I did it! AND it's very PICTURE heavy! :)

Second post in a rowwww oh yeah.

So today I woke up because my mom yanked my blanket away from me so she can wash them T_T. Got up, registered for summer classes and did my thing. I didn't wear make up today because we were supposed to be at the doc's by 1 and I woke up a little before 11 so, no time. Oh never mind. I wore concealer on my chin because I was breaking out there (thank you finals!). Every time I take pictures of myself I see my round round round face and it's so annoying!

God......... look at my calves! They get bigger the more I walk :((((

So for yesterday's post I wrote about how I lost weight from all that walking to and from school! And today I wanted to show the pictures. I have these AE cargo bermudas (size 4) that I wore last summer. I wore wanted to wear them today with a yellow top instead of ^^^^ so I put it on and watched it fall down without much effort! :( (the shirts are different by the way, the one I wore in these pictures are what I wore to sleep last night LOL) I had to stand awkwardly so my pants won't fall down for the picture but it wasn't THAT much of a pleasant surprise given that I really liked these pants, and those are fake drawstrings so I didn't use them lol.



T_T ^ I know it doesn't seem like much but it really is :(

Last but not least, for the non-readers!


(w/o flash) By the way, the silver shatter is awwweeesome. I don't own the black but I tried it and I think the silver leaves a better finish.




New wallet! :)



What I like about this bag beside the design: That it's big and spacious! WHY ARE ALL QUILTED BAGS SO SMALL :( They had a beige color and I really wanted it but my paychecks are not great enough to buy both T_T



and the bottom opens up like this or you can zipper it and keep it flat!



New AE pants :( but they're not the same..



got this for my mama but I feel like we're both going to be using it.



:DDDD how can you say no?!



<3<3



I thought the heart on top would be a lot smaller but it's pretty much the same size. the lengths are different though~

Yeppeunsonyuh & Recent Purcahses (Long post ahead!)

First and foremost: *Thank you for the recent follows. I'll follow back~

How I missed you, blog! It's been 10+ days since I last updated and now I'm going to make sure I post something at least every three days. School definitely takes a toll on my time and I started working out so there goes my blog time, haha. I think I'm really... bad at doing reviews but I'm going to keep doing them so I get better aha :p YAY FOR NO MORE SHOPPING BAN. :P

Secondly, I'd like to share a website called www.yeppeunsonyuh.com ("yeppeunsonyuh" means pretty girl) and the store owner is also a soompi member. For the past two years(?) I've bought from her and they get to me within 3 days without fail. But that's probably because we live in the same state but regardless -- you WILL get your purchase within a week, if you reside in the US. Plus her prices are VERY reasonable. I wear normal contacts and I personally don't really like circle lenses but if you want to try it, DEFINITELY try her out! Here's my latest purchase from her:


Braided hairband
(Credit: Yeppeunsonyuh)



My photo. As you can see, it's very shiny/glossy (it looks real!) and luckily it's my hair shade! I've been watching "My Princess" lately and I love how Kim Tae Hee had her hair braided pretty often in the beginning but I don't have that kind of time in the morning. Now I just wear this baby everywhere I go LOL. This was for $12.49 which is reasonable considering how expensive some things from Korea are here in the US. There's a thinner version for cheaper, I think. Plus the ends kind of wrap behind your ear (at least for me) so it's really impossible to tell that it's actually a hair band!



Green tassel phone charm: I think this was $8ish and I normally never spend that much money on phone charms but I couldn't resist this one. It's actually pretty bulky (I LOVE BULKY THINGS!) and it's from the Korean website: Richbon.com. It's like a faux leather... kind of material. SO CUTE! I don't want to use it yet though, not sure if I want to wait until my next phone to use it lol :p I wish they had a red one :( My blackberry cover is red so I'd really use it now if it.

I also got Etude eyelid tape but it wasn't for me so I can't really review it. But it was well packaged and my friend says it's comparable to the eyecharm ones.

Thirdly, Macy's! I pass by a Macy's everyday now so I get tempted to go inside every time. I went in everyday since Monday LOL. And I never left empty handed.



Clinique: ~$34 together. Clinique is the only skincare line I use on my face, I have very fair complexion and sensitive skin, dry -- yet acne prone. I love Clinique's acne solution line EXCEPT for the moisturizer. Stuff dries me out SOOOOOOOO much I can't move my face for hours after I use it. It works well though. Just too painful for me. So I use steps 1, 2 and the DDM (gel -- no oil) and it works like a charm every time. I wish I had gotten the pump for the DDM but... yeah I've been spending way too much money.



Material Girl(?): Not a brand I'm familiar with but that doesn't mean I won't buy it if it's cute! Love the zipper on the back but it's not really true to size. But it was on clearance ($11) and I couldn't resist. There are studs.. and I don't know how I feel about them. I mean, I like them but I just can't "rock" it. Lol, tough luck for me! Can't wait till the weather warms up so I can wear it :) The material is very light and soft so it'll be perfect for summer. I don't know why but I don't like wearing revealing things even in the midst of 100 degree weather. I need shirts like this to get by NY humidity.



Random brand that I don't know again: This was also on clearance ($13) and it's adorable :) The back is really interesting and the sleeves are folded about an inch and have buttons. Love the pocket in the front and I love the price! I got the shirt above on Monday and this one on Tuesday LOL :( I'm going to stop, I promise! I kind of like this shirt more than the one above because of the sleeves, my favorite style. It's a little bit sheer though, but I don't think it shows anything.


*stock photos



My photo. Obviously my camera and lights hate me. It looks exactly like the stock photos though~

$7. Retails $25. So as I posted before, I love bags. LOVE THEM I CAN'T EVER HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM! D:" This was so cute I couldn't pass it up. End of story. It's small and crossbody and ugh just so CUTE!


$25 so cute as well. Lawl, the back is higher than it looks. I appreciate the extra 4-5 inches. I love ruffles and bows so this was too cute to pass up as well. Sucks for my wallet, I have $6 to use until next Monday. LOL The only flaw I can find on these were that they're not very true to color :| I expended a lighter shade of grey but that's alright, grey is still grey (plus my lighting isn't that good).

Lastly, I'm tired. So tired. I slept two hours yesterday. POOPPED, I''m going to sleep at 8. So excited about my packages though ahah :p
