How have you all been doing? It has been a long while since my last post, but I haven't really gotten the chance to blog ever since I had started taking spring courses. They actually go quite fast what with only lasting about 6 weeks or so, so let's just say that a ton of studying has to be done and
Anyway, I had first bought a cute ring from Forever 21 for around $6. It was after watching I believe The Hunger Games I think? (Which was a good movie) As you can tell from the picture, I really love the bling circling around the face of the ring along with the flower gem in the center. Really lovely and it was one of those "must haves" for me, especially if it is pink.
I then got some essence nail polish and Maybelline Masterprecise pen eyeliner for a total of $14 from Shoppers Drug Mart. I had a $10 off card last time I had made a purchase there and I wanted to use it before it expired. The nail polish were really cheap, less than $2 for each.
A couple of days later, I got this nice 1920s style nude dress from H&M for $19.95. I really love the style and had been looking for one for a while now. However it was not really "love at first sight" when I had first seen it in the store and had been trying to decide which dress I should pick out of three dresses. Eventually I had decided on getting this one not just because of the style, but I don't have a nude dress yet. I guess now is a good time as any to get one.

There is where I had finished my old haul and took a long break from the shopping world. Of course by the time the end of May came along, I started having a feel to get back to shopping and my new haul started up. I stopped by Urban Planet after work and I found out that they were actually selling what looks to be bandeau tops for $5! I had been obsessing over bandeau tops ever since I had purchased one off of Yesstyle and had been wearing it constantly. So to actually see them in the stores and in a lace pattern no less got me straight to buying one in black and white (so they could go with everything).
Lastly, the latest purchase that I had gotten was these cute clay rose earrings for $10! After seeing how cute they were just sitting on the rack and in the colours pink, purple, and blue, I knew that I just had to get them. I had been on the hunt for some cute cheap earrings for a while now to fill up my earring hanger, and in particular I had been looking for earrings that come in a cute design along with some pastel colours to go with my hime wardrobe. I had been specifically looking for ones in pink, purple, and blue because those are the main colours that I had been using, more-so pink than the other colours naturally. Now these earrings were not on sale originally, but who cares! The design more than makes up for it and when I usually see something in the store that I love and did not buy, I usually never see them again! Might as well buy them while they are still "in bloom".
I was dressed up the day I got the earrings, so I decided to take some outfit shots. I also decided that when it comes to outfit shots, I will be taking more "detailed" shots. When it comes to outfit shots in general, I value small details like the accessories used, the hair piece, etc. I had been wondering on how to approach the concept of detail shots however. Do you think I should alter the photos to make them fit into one large photo via collage style, or do you think I should post each photo individually to keep them large enough to see the details?

Take care everyone!
I love essence nailpolish and you are so pretty <33
ReplyDelete@Marjolein Hoekendijk Thank you! <3
ReplyDeleteI love essence! They make the only acceptable drugstore shadows, and their gel liner is incredible! I have a few essence polishes, including the baby pink one you have there (it's sheer and I imagine that it is meant to be used for french manicures, as I'm certain you may have discovered?). Overall, their polishes are very nice.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is sooooooooooooo sooooooo pretty! I have a top that is pretty similar (I believe~). I'm shocked that you were able to find so many things at such typical stores~
I'm pretty closed minded in that respect, so I rarely shop anywhere that isn't online x)
@Pearl Actually now that you had mentioned it, the pink nail polish is really sheer. I had just discovered this lately after painting my nails pink. None-the-less, it is still pretty and it gave my nails a nice "shine" along with the top coat.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you! <3 You are really sweet Pearl! :) I actually had that top for quite a while now. I got it back when I was working at the store.
You will be quite amazed at what you can find at local stores once you take the time to look around. I had even manage to find items that can go well in any other style, such as Lolita and Fairy-kei.
