HAPPY NEW YEARS

2010 kind of sucked. ..for all of us.  So I'm wishing everyone a better year.   =D  cheer up ...things could always be worse and we have to remember what is good in our lives...

Loving Family 

Wonderful Friends

Good fortune

Perfect health 

Love

My happy lil dog

and...

FREE stuff.

Want this glove for FREE?    

Yup you heard it  free  lol.  Here's how it happened... I was in Aldo cause I walked by and saw a huge sale sign and it was UBER crowded.  So I wandered in.     Well I got no shoes cause it was all still expensive.  But I did manage to find this cute pair of gloves for only 13 bucks!  Awesome.  The pair I grabbed didn't have a price tag so the cashier grabbed another.   However, it was so crowded and she was so flustered that she ended up putting BOTH pairs into my bag.

YAY.   I'm giving the 2nd pair away.   Size small!   First one of my friends to comment and claim it, I'm mailing it off to you~   Happy New years!

They also had tons of cute purses!  I wanted a few but limited myself to this one.  $25 after sale.

Been wanting a light colored shoulder bag..

for the price and quality this was steal.

Oh and check out J. Crew store ASAP!  They're having additional 40% off sale in stores!  I grabbed a few things

Perfect Fit ruffle Henley in white $ 14

Sequin Boyfriend Sweater $20

Double Cloth Colletta Coat instore = $101  ( Originally $298, on sale online $238)

 I also got some Konad dupe stuff coming in the mail soon so check back for that!

Happy New years again guys.  Miss you and see you in a few weeks

jcrew sale

Some of the stuff I was looking at...  make sure u check the stores, the prices are always lower + they have the same 30% off discount!

bf shorts - $39.99

holland sweater $34.99

Merino Pocket Sweater $34.99

Lisette Shell $39.99

Taffetta Marvelle Mini $39 .99

Lace row tank $39.99

Makeup Forever HD Microfinish blush

$25 at Sephora 

So I got a gift  sample of this from Sephora and I have been using it for a week and I have to say I LOVED  it.  I don't have any blush that last me more than a few hours....but this...last at least 8 hrs of wear.  Its highly pigmented and a tiny toothpick dot is enough.  It also sets fast and does not dry out my skin.   Highly rec you guys go to the stores and try it in person first.    Lots of shades to choose from.   I gave my sample to my sister cause she's been looking for a long lasting blush as well.   So i'm def going to have to go find another one for myself.

Christmas is hereeeeee

almost.

I'm so busy studying now that I don't have much new to post.  I've decided to go on a 'no shopping' dry spell for at least a month or two.  Let's see how well I fare. 

But christmas is coming up?  What are your wish list????  mmmmMm I actually don't know what I want either.  Will get back to you with a reasonable list. hehe

more charolette russe rings

How do you like this one?



jcrew ring dupe

So I saw my attending wear this ring and of course i LOVED it.   But 29 dollars for a fun ring..and it can be only ordered online??  ughhhh man jcrew i hate u/love u.

jcrew Fiver ring buy it!

But look at this dupe I found at Charlotte Russe for FOUR bucks!   I'm surprised by the quality of their rings.  Forever 21 rings seem to get cheaper and cheaper looking..esp now with that stretchy band they use BLAH.

my first time at the korean spa

SOoo my friend took me to a korean spa in Chicago and it was SO FUN - head bun and all!!  It's called www.kingspa.com.  So I thought I'd blog about my experience there.

You first enter and take off your shoes and place it into a cubby.

  They give you a wrist band with a sensor on it  which they will use to charge any purchase on.   You then enter the spa and get naked to rinse down.

 This was probably the worst part cause everyone was naked.  But it was all old ajima's (old korean ladies) , kids, and some girls my age.  No one acted weird, so after a while it wasn't too bad.    They also offer a scrub down where you lay on a table and with a scrub glow they rub u down to get off all ur dead skin.  My friend says it feels really good.  I wasn't adventurous enough to do it today.  Maybe next time.  =)

Then you enter the lounge which is unisex.   They have huge ornate pink chairs!

me lounging in the huge chair

 Here they have a huge sitting area, food court, and multiple themed hot rooms.  We first sat around and tried all the hot rooms.   There were probably like 10 different themed steam rooms.

rock room

pyramid room - real gold plated!

entrance to the salt room

Then of course we ate!   We got smoothies and dukbokigi , soup, rice, and of course shaved ice patbingsoo!

Then we went into the theater room, where they have THE MOST comfortable leather recliners ever.   They were playing Harry Potter so we mossy on in to relax.

We both feel asleep  lol.

Woke up and ate some more.

layed around some more and called it a day.   It was like being in your pj's and lounging around a really big house.  So it was really fun and relaxing.  lol.   If you guys ever visit, we def have to hit up the spa again.   It was so fun and relaxing I wish they had more around!

shoes

betsy Johnson Ruffle belts from Marshalls $14 which one should I keep?  Brown or black?

DSW Franco Strato $30

DSW - Naturalizer Bridal Brown Step Up $35

omg because these shoes are Naturalizer...they are SOOO comfortable...more comfortable than my flats i dare say.  Just gotta figure what to wear them with.

I also got the same cardi Shopaholicness got from AnnTaylor Loft!  but they only had it in pink =(

haul continues

So more from my recent haul.  I also ordered 2 things from ASOS from their sale which i mentioned a few post back.  They finally came and and I will say I am extremely happy with my purchase.  Free shipping and all =D

The first is this pink tulip skirt  $20 ASOS.   The necklace is from Macy and Forever 21, see previous post, and the belt is jcrew, sweater is from Zara, tank is from F21.

Dress:  ASOS  $19
2nd thing from the site.   I saw my friend wear this and LOVED it.   So when I saw it on sale i was super happy.

Now this dress is super tight so I ordered one size up but in petite and it fits great.  It's from the body conscious collection.  The dress is tight but the fabric makes it less revealing and is actually slimming in effect.   I'm super happy with this dress cause you can put a cardi/blazer over it, wear it to work cause its knee length.  But take off the cardi and the dress alone is more of party dinner dress cause the back is open.  Love the knitted collar detail and I'm impressed with ASOS' quality.

Remember I mentioned i wanted more lace.  Well I got this top from Forever21 from my recent haul.  I'm a big fan of buttons, puffy 3/4 sleeves.   The band at the waist makes this a super cute top with skinnies or pencil skirts.  Fover 21 lace top $15

I recently also been getting into thin headbands.  I like how they're simple and also you can add two or more for different layering effects.  The first two are  from Jcrew outlet  $14 each and the gold stud one is from H&M $5
