Nailart Challenge: Week 2

Mixed a lot of random nail polish together to make orange lol.

 

Orange nails:

Surprisingly I had a very difficult time with the orange challenge. I guess if all else fails...use glitter! LOL oh and I added mini pearls to make polka dots =) 

Haul: SHOES

Sorry if my blog is boring you with my hauls...but I don't care I love hauls lol. I dunno what it is but there is some really crazy shoe sales that are going on this weekend! Like INSANELY cheap!

To start off, let me tell you guys that my feet size are a size 5! So it is very VERY difficult to find shoes that fit me lol especially any kind of flats and kitten heels.

Yesterday I found pair of Michael Kors shoes, that were on sale and it was a size 5 and a half...didn't fit me at all! SO...I peeked around the little girls section lol and tried on their shoes size 4/5?...still to big. -.-"

But yea story of my life, I have Cinderella feets! I can never find cute flats that fit me, it is such a pain in the ass. & when I ever do...I buy them in a heartbeat and in every color.


I went to the Bay today and instantly...these pair of booties caught my eye. I didn't buy them right away though because they were a size 6 and a half & I wasn't sure if I could pull them off. So I left them and walked around the Core for a bit. Came back & they were still there! No one bought them! It was definitely fate lol. Tried them on and they looked good! & obviously I bought them lol.

Usually for boots and super high heels, I can get away with wearing a size & a half bigger.

Rachel Roy Leopard Wedge Booties - Original price: $275 Sale Price: $89.99

As I was walking to the cashier to pay, I randomly stumbled upon these furry ones. They were  size 6 and when I saw the sale price, I couldn't resist not buying them.

Expression Fur Belt Boots - Original Price: $109 Sale Price: $24.99

The next 3 shoes are from Aldo.

Loving this raspberry purple.

Aldo Ellenbecker Heels - Original price: $60 Sale Price: $17.49

I wanted these booties since forever! Didn't know what color to buy though until I found these pale grey ones in the sale section...so I went with grey lol.

 I like a good sale, who wouldn't?

Aldo Sandidge Booties - Original Price: $120 Sale Price: $44.99

I have been eying these flats for some time now & I would never try them on because they are a size 36. Aldo's size 36 flats are usually to big for me. Every time I ask to try their 36's, I still had so much space behind my heels but for some reason I still wanted to try these ones on. & GUESS WHAT?! These babes ACTUALLY fit me, like a SOCK!

Aldo Laliberty Ballet Flats - Original Price: $60 Sale Price: $44.98

The next pair of shoes is from H&M and were not on sale. H&M size 36 shoes never ever fit me either but they just launch the Divided collection. I think the Divided collection is more petite because the shoes & clothes actually fit me!

Also, what are these style of shoes called? I never know what to call them lol.

Divided by H&M Tennis Shoe? - Price: $19.95

Tehehehe bought the David Beckham boxers for Dan. Just because David Beckham looked so sexy on the box >.<

David Beckham for H&M Briefs - Price: $17.95

Lol hope my boyfriend doesn't get to mad at me for buying a lot of shoes.

I now have a total of 38 pairs of shoes at his place...which isn't that bad...I also have more shoes stored at my parents house. =) lol

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

Haul: Value Village

I went to Value Village last Friday by myself, to attempt to thrift for the first time ever! & I'm really happy with what I bought within 30mins.

$9.99

This was the first that that I found! Sooo excited! I have been looking for a trench cost, for like ages now & I was seriously considering buying one from Guess ($138). The one at Guess was black also and it look really good on but the extra small was a little to big for me & it was over $100! So when I saw this black trench hanging on the racks, I thought I died! I tried it on & it fitted me PERFECTLY! It was seriously a match made in heaven lol. The length was so perfect on me and it was also originally from Costa Blanca. BTW! I did not get the coat with the studs! lol I wanted  a trench coat originally for the soul purpose of studding the sleeves! I saw Burberry's studded trench for the fall 2012 collection for like $4400ish? maybe more actually lol & I fell in love with the idea. Maybe in the near future I'll be able to afford a Burberry one lol but for now, I'm really happy with how my coat is turning out so far...I'm not even close to finish studding the sleeves btw...It's gonna look SIIIICCCCKKK!

$4.99

OK! So I found just a plain black button up shirt, that I just bought & chopped off the collar to make a studded collar necklace. Lol I guess I should of took a picture of the shirt before I chopped it...oh well. Anyways I'm almost done studding this lol...Studding is hard work man!

$1.99

Found this beautiful satin forest green scarf with orchid flowers. Lol I wanted an old grandma scarf for a while now & was considering buying a Christian Dior or Gucci one...but when I saw this for $2...I would be crazy not to buy it.

$5.99

I've have been obsessing!!! Over huge ass, chunky, gold tone, chain chokers atm!! You guys don;t even understand! When I obsess over something, I go INSANE!!!!! & when I saw, this just hanging in the jewelry wall, I swear! There was like heaven light, just shining over it and sound effects in the background going "HHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"...I pretty much snatched it sooo fast & ran! lol no joke. I use to HATE gold tone jewelry lol but ever since I saw Jen from Clothesencounter on Youtube wear one, I've been going crazy over it.

$7.99

I found this matte gold tone choker & I thought this was pretty expensive for a necklace at a thrift store lol. I dunno but I like it a lot, it sits nicely on my neck

.

$3.99

 Beautiful gold tone cut out bangle.

$1.99

Simple gold tone bangle. Very good for layering bracelets.

$1.99

Pale pink and gold earrings. I've been into classic looking jewelry atm, like jewelry that are so classic and chic that will never go out of style.

$2.99

Gold and pearl earrings. FYI, I cleaned the jewelry with white alcohol. So yea...lol. All the jewelry that found, had  really nice weight to it and is really good quality.

They just don't make fashion jewelry like they use to anymore. Honestly you can't find what I bought here, in retail store now, they would either tarnish of just fall apart on you.

But yea...That was my first time thrifting. :)

Oh! I also went back to Value Village on Sunday, with a few friends and my cousins. It was was cousins first time thrifting too!! lol My cousin Linda found a really nice sheer dress and a few tops. Didn't take a picture of her purchases. & her sister...my cousin Lisa found...well I found!! lol & I'm so proud of what I found for her actually lol.

Here is a Diptic picture that she took, of the two pieces I found.

Pea-coat: $14.99 & Blazer: $9.99

I found this really pretty...REALLY WHITE! pretty much brand spanking new! Pea-coat. It was super soft and SOOO clean! The only problem with it, was that it was missing a button. Which didn't bother me or her because the belt hides it anyways, when tided up. I originally wanted it but it was to big for me and when I showed Lisa & made her try it on, it looked so fabulous on her.You guys can't see the detail on the buttons but it's really pretty & shiny.

Also the black blazer...Lol Lisa sucks at taking picture honestly, you guys can even see the details on it!

It just looks like a normal black blazer in this picture lol BUT IT'S NOT. It has beautiful detailed trimming around it which made it very flattering around the torso? area. Originally, I also wanted this lol but it was to big lol so I made Lisa tried it on. & of course, it fits her perfectly! It defined her waist and just UGHHH! So jealous of her because both the jackets fits her like a glove! But I'm happy because she seriously needs new clothes lol.

Coca-cola Wings?

Decided to try out coca-cola chicken wings the other night lol. surprisingly it was very tasty and super TENDER! I think pop carbonation is the secret for super tenderized chicken. No joke it was so tender that it pretty much fell off the bone! Also, if your wondering...the wings didn't really taste like coke but it had a hint of coke and was sweet, sorta like honey...ish.

The first thing that I did was marinated the wings in a little bit of soy sauce...I dunno why, I think it was my Asian instinct that was telling me to do it.

 

I heated the a non stick frying pan with oil...I used way to much oil here btw. 

Got my can of coca-cola ready. 

I'm frying the chicken wings lol. This is what it looks like at first.

Than this.

After the top picture, I added coke. About half a can, than I drank the rest.

Look at all the yummy chicken wings drowning in coke.

Cooked it till the coke reduced a bit. Than...





BAM!!!! All done =)

Wedding: Laura & Jason

Congrats to Laura & Jason for getting married last Sunday! I wasn't able to post any pictures for the longest time because my firefox was having problems this week. Oh and sorry for all the bad pictures, there was really bad lighting at the restaurant.

Invitations

The wedding was held at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown...very typical asian wedding.
 Lol & the invitations said 5pm...Everyone got there around 7pm.
