Pink Sari [OOTD series]

Hello ~

So through university i've made a group of amazing friends and it's SO diverse and I absolutely love it. I got the opportunity to go to a Sri Lankan Formal with two of my friends and it was amazing. I've always wanted to wear a sari and I have to admit- I felt beautiful in it. Something about the fabric draping off my body and the unique silhouette it makes. 

I was so satisfied with the experience and I would totally wear it again!

Marshaull's [HAUL series]

Hi lovelies!

Recently I've made a post about my new love for Marhalls, and because I'm studying interior design and in love with fashion, it's the perrrrfect place for me to find cheap fashionable steals for my room and myself!

So for my room, I picked up some coat hangers which I absolutely love for two main reasons! The felt-like material, and how thin it is. Buying hangers that are a different material than plastic or hangers that have a little rubber/texture can stop your clothes from slipping off (that can be so frusterating when you're browsing for an outfit and everything just slides off). Also, because the hangers are soooo thin, it's perfect for creating more space in your closet for more hangers and clothes! Thick hangers are generally best for those thick and heavy winter jackets.

Moving on! I absolutely LOVE my new bedding! I have an obsession with pink as it is my favourite colour. I just love the style and how simple it is without being too over-the-top. I think the material of it could have been better because I still find it to be a bit chilly. Overall, I'm in love with it and it goes so well with all my pillows.

The last room item I bought was a jewelry organizer that I stuck in my closet. I love it so much because it made me go through a whole box of jewelry and I got rid of some garbage. I also like having a routine where I take something out to wear it but put it back the same night when I'm done so I know where things are the next day. **OH! You don't have to use a jewelry organizer for jewelry, it's definately super cute for showcasing nailpolishes too! I only didn't do that because the smell of nailpolish really bothers me and I didn't want it to soak up in my clothes or pollute the air in my room. Plus, it's super heavy and I didn't want to snap the hanger or break any threads. But if you buy a heavy-duty one I totally suggest it!

And last but not least! Fashion wise- my new black romper! I'm in love with this romper because it's the perfect length from shoulder to crotch. It's totally on-the-run wear when you're in a rush but still want to be stylish (maybe throw on that statement necklace and favourite purse) Anyways, the lower-back area also has a cute semi-circle cut out which adds a little flare.

Make-up My Mind [HAUL series]

Hey guys,

This was a while back but I had to mention it. I'll leave a review below based off of my experience with it. During this shopping session I actually had no idea what I was going to purchase that day except for the Benefit's mascara and Urban Decay's lip gloss.

Details:
OPI: kiss on the chic - $7.99 
Sephora Benefit: erase paste no.1 fair - $32
Urban Decay: lip junkie flushed - $23
Benefit: they're real mascara - $29
Sephora: iphone5 case 250 beauty insider points
Sephora: ribbon hair tie - $2
Sephora: prada candy purfume sample












*BONUS REVIEW*
OPI: kiss on the chic
The colour intensity is a little opaque but 2 layers is good enough but the price was great/fair because it was purchased at Winners! I honestly think this is PERFECT for summer/beach days because of how pastel it is. Overall: 8/10

Sephora Benefit: erase paste no.1 fair 
The color matches around 7/10 with my skin-tone. I am fair toned but because I am asian I have an olive tint and I found that the options they offered didn't range too far. How well it works is great- but for it's price I feel that drug store consealer could offer a lot more at a cheaper price. I wouldn't make this purchase again because of the price and mainly because I don't cover my face with much except pwder, but I do use this for redness. Overall: 4.9/10

Urban Decay: lip junkie flushed 
ABSOLUTELY YEARLY FAV. I LOOOVE how many options there are with colour choices. The minty fresh cooling serum makes my lips FEEL and LOOK plumpier. I mean I feel like I aready have big lips, but this still works flawlessly. I would buy it again and again and it will be my go-to gloss forever. Overall: 10/10

Benefit: they're real mascara - $29
Sephora: iphone5 case 250 beauty insider points
Sephora: ribbon hair tie - $2
Sephora: prada candy purfume sample

Black Mesh&Leather [OOTD series]

Salut x!

A few months ago at my University, there was a year end show event and I decided to wear this dress that I got from GUESS.

The top is all mesh with black and mesh stripes that cut off at the top of my forearm. There is a little cut out near the bust that isn't too big- but adds a little sexiness to it. The leather skirt is attached to the full black mesh torso area and stops just above the knees.

This dress was a bit on the pricey side but the way it looks on me and the way I feel in the dress made it totally worth it!

Details:
Black Mesh and Leather Dress: Guess, size: 2/4, $80

Changeroom Love [OOTD series]

Hi!

FYI, I did not purchase any of these items, I just took photos of them because they were really cute!

So this was at Marshalls, WHICH I am totally in love with right now haha. The cheap finds for the quality and design is really good. Some things aren't that great, cutting and fitting wise but it's amazing for every-day readytowear brands.

Everything I tried on was under $25!

Pastel White [OOTD series]

White Lace Dress: Garage, size: small
Wedges: Vince Camuto, size: 8

Blue Box [HAUL series]

Hola ~

This is my first Tiffany&Co ring ! At first I was eye-balling another one that was a lot thinner and didn't have the curved design but it turned out to be really ugly in person. This is the ring that I ended up stacking under my "Sparkling Bow" ring that I got from Pandora if you read my other post.

Princess && Bow [HAUL series]

Hey beauties x

I've been eyeing some rings at Pandora lately, and I haven't gotten them until recently because they had a promotion that was "buy 2, get 1 free". So I decided to buy the "My Princess" ring and the "Sparkling Bow" ring. I wanted the "My Princess" one for a while just because it's so cute but then I lost interest in it afterwards when I saw a lot of people with it. The bow ring on the otherhand was to die for because it's super stackable and can go with everything! Plus I had a Tiffany&Co ring in mind that I wanted to stack under it the bow.

So you only see two rings right? Where might be the other one? The other ring is with my mom, she decided to get the "her majesty" ring for herself to go along with the "princess" ring that I got for myself. Since her's was the most expensive one and my bow one next in line, I got the princess ring for free! 



Details:
Her Majesty - $80/85
My Princess - $50
Sparkling Bow - $60

Tanks a Lot [HAUL series]

Hey there !

Shopping till' I drop once again! This was from a few weeks back, not gonna lie. Not sure if it's obvious or not.... but I love tank tops! Practically the only things I own, along with a billion pair of black tights. (Everyone probably thinks I wear the same ones every single day- oops)


Details:
Aritzia
Crop bustiers by Talula
Nude printed -$13
Sand gray -$18
Pink tank top by Talula -$24

Zara
White tank top - $13







I just love the pink tank top because it's super fit for all occasions. Pair it with a pair of black tights, tuck it in a skirt, or pull a blazer on top for a formal look. Crop bustiers are also the best; high-waisted shorts/skirts or layer on top with a loose tank such as the white one from ZARA. What I love about the white tank is that the sides of it have little cuts where the ends of the tank is elongated.

Flower-print Skirt [OOTD series]

Hayo,

I went shopping a few months ago, and this one skirt stuck out to me. And it was a complete surprise because it was from Aeropostale and I ALMOST NEVER shop there. Mostly because of the style and cutting/fitting.

So the skirt kind of has a spandex-like material. It's super smooth and the pattern is very bold and colourful. I love how heavy the dress is because it won't fly up if it's super windy or anything.

Details of Outfit:
Haulter Top: Brandy Melville, one size
Skirt: Aeropostale, size: small
Wedges: ALDO, size: 8
