Strapya World order, Sirens crazy shopping excursions, and outfit shots!

Hello everyone!

We are now heading into the month of February and I am frankly quite amazed at how fast the whole entire time session is progressing at. One blink of an eye and we have gone from January to February in what feels like no amount of time at all!

Earlier on during the month of January, I had placed an order at Strapya World, for what I felt, had been my most expensive purchase at the website as of now. While looking through my Facebook news feed, I had come across this very adorable bunny bag charm that had just recently been released. Interestingly enough, the little bunny goes by the name of Petit Trianon, which is a small cheateau located on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. Usually I don't buy new releases for anything, let alone phone or bag charms, but this particular seems too cute to pass up (despite the hefty price tag of $21). So I ended up buying it along with a couple of items that my sister had wanted to get from the site, which consisted of a Sentimental Circus Mouton plush phone cleaner and a Manpuku-kun plush to go with the Juju-chan plush that was previously ordered.

Of course, a 10% discount helps a little bit in the purchasing process.

Deco Post - Cell Phone Case Redo

Sorry for the extremely late post, but it turned out that my latest project (which I will be talking about in this post later on and is hinted in the title) took longer than expected ^^;. I haven't done a deco project in such a long time, so I decided on redecorating my phone case. It doesn't help matters that I had finally received the glue that I had bought from eBay (that and my desk is now significantly more cleaner). The urge to deco something went way up after that. 

Now I had named this post as a redo since this wasn't the very first time that I had decorated my phone case. I had actually decorated the case a while back, probably around a year or two. Why did it take this long to redecorate my phone case then? Better yet, why redecorate at all?  Well the first time around, the glue that I used (Clear Gel Tacky Glue) didn't hold down the rhinestones and bigger gems for a long period of time. Actually it didn't hold them down at all. -.- I was so disappointed... So knowing that any attempt to using the phone case will just lead to more fallen rhinestones and gems, I decided to redecorate but couldn't until recently. For one thing, I didn't have any glue other than my epoxy (which I had already used up most of it on my sister's DS lite case). For another thing, I didn't feel like slowly taking off the gems one by one until recently, since that would be very tedious work and we all get our lazy moments. I guess in a way, redecorating my phone case is a way to free up more space, since up until now it had been doing nothing except collecting dust on a shelf ^^;.

Anyway, the total time it took to finish up this project was 3 days. Yup! 3 days! I know that I could've finished this sooner, but with projects like these I am usually slower than the average person and my perfectionist tendencies tend to get a hold of me, since this case was heavily inspired from Luxaddiction and I want it to look almost like the cases on the website. Technically the case was finished in 2 days, but it is 3 days including finishing touches.

I apologize if some of the photos seem a little bit blurry.
