I WANNA GO OUTSIDE, YOU REALLY WANNA SLEEP INSIDE [lookbook]

sorry my posts have been so random! school is kicking me in the butt. thankfully it is spring  break for me next week, yippieeeee!

i went shopping at H&M last weekend and bought this dress and scarf. i don’t own anything like this dress but my mom told me to try it on and i ended up really liking it! i had to go to two different H&M’s though, because the first store that i went to didn’t have my size. the one i’m wearing was actually stained with lipstick so they gave me 10% off, and then my mom cleaned it when we got home. it was worth it though!

hype me on lookbook! :D

well i know what’s good
exactly cuz i have been there before
yeah i know what’s good
exactly those things night cannot behold

i really want to go out
i really want to go outside and stop to see your day
you really want to hole up
you really want to stay inside and sleep the light away

i think it’s good to go out
cuz if you don’t you’ll never make a memory that will stay
i think that you should wake up
i think i want to live my life and you’re just in my way

first day of school outfit! [7 weeks later...]

hey everyone! sorry for the VERY late post….i have been studying hard to get good grades this year ^_^ so far it’s been working!

i didn’t really post about it in the past, but i got lucky and got great teachers this year (except chem…meh, at least she has easy tests!) so i’m sure i’ll be getting really good grades this year. i just feel more experienced after going through all this academic shit in freshman year and i’m prepared to work hard. because i know my hard work will REALLY pay off and i can’t screw around anymore.

so here in california it’s been scorching for the past 2-3 weeks. actually today it poured for the first time in a while but i was enjoyin the hot weather. kinda. but, i mean i’m ready for tights, coats, boots, and scarves! :)

this is what i wore on the first day of school.

is it humanly possible to be EXCITED for school? x_x

my peter jensen shirt!

my mom’s sweater. blurriness is key!

i ended up not even wearing it that day–too hot!
everyone loves a tacky gif ;D

looks like i’m wearing makeup but i aint. oh dark eyes and pale skin, you save me!

i wear this clip all the time. my mom bought it for me from an antique store in taiwan or china when i was little.

summer shopping at macys~!

WTF guys i just made this post and everything got deleted…im really mad…T_T

anyway sorry if that showed up in your feed all blank.

i went summer shopping with my mom on may 30th at macys and made up some outfits. enjoy!

this first outfit is a cute one shoulder top and leopard skort from free people :] haha, skort. it’s shorts that look like a skirt ;D

here’s the same top, but in a more casual coordinate with my AG coords that i wore that day :]

you can completely see my bra in this next pic…LOLOL anyway the top is from BCBG and the same leopard skort from free people. i like the beachiness of this pic, and i think the shirt looks nice half tucked in.

same BCBG top with polka dot skort from free people. notice how it looks more french, wheras the other one looks more beachy…or at least in my opinion it does. hmmm!

and the same top again, but with BROWN free people polka dot skort! it was one size too big though so it looked too baggy, ugh.

i like the colors  together though! but i think my favorite skort with this top was the black polka dot combo :)

here’s a marc by marc jacobs sweater that i ADORE but couldn’t afford…well i mean my mom could, but not me x_x

and free people polka dot skort! i actually love these skorts…i think i might buy the polka dot ones…

okay, this was a complete fail. i wanted to wear a marc by marc jacobs skirt that was 2 sizes too big. hence this outfit became a fail. but  you can see how i thought it might have worked…right? XD

now, THIS beuat was a pastel marc by marc jacobs dress. it was one size too big, but i think it was still okay.

you can find it at bloomingdales, piper lime, and saks! i recommend you look at how it looks on the runway on the saks page (just click the link) it looks SO beautiful!

this next dress is from the see by chloe line. therefore it was like, $500. it was also size 10. that’s 10 sizes too big. LOL but look how pretty it is! or…could be…on someone else…

see? the model makes it look great…because she had the right  size…T_T.

this is a really big free people henley that i liked but, like i said, was huge. the colors go together well though! :)

and…the same top with leopard skort.

let’s just not say anything about this. you and i both know why.

(if you’re not catching my drift, it looks terrible. and i look like i have bulging fat coming out from over the top. LOLOLOL)

i was literally stalking this dress on freepeople.com for ages, just to find that it’s extremely unflattering. good thing i didn’t buy it, lol! oh and this is an XS. look how it eats me alive in this pic! AND, i’m even securing it with my hand in the back! X_X.

lastly, here is an ADORABLE swimsuit from DKNY…i tried it on actually and it sucked. ah well.

let me know if these bore you or not!

if so, i won’t do them anymore. i just thought it’d be fun to test my coordinating skizzels! hahaha. i have another one coming up soon! :D

some random purchases!

hey guys i’m so excited! i finally got majority of my packages. however i’m still really pissed about the ebay situation i’m in right now. the stupid buyer is issuing for a refund. but i’m sort of excited because i saw that the bag i have was advertised in lucky magazine–i’m sort of happy to have it back! :D :D

i also got the marie sugar cookie necklace that i’ve wanted for a really long time! the seller Sugarbunnies379 was super sweet and even though she sold out of the first one, she actually REMADE one just for me and kept it on hold for me for like 2 months! it was so sweet.

when i got it, there were cute confetti bunnies with a little business card and handwritten note which i love. after i received it, the seller told me that she read my blog and said she liked angelic pretty too! i was so happy :) she’s such a great seller, i’d buy from her shop again. you can find her etsy here. oh and i forgot, she gave me nerds candy and a really pretty (and yummy) lipgloss! thanks :)

my pictures:

it's so 3D o-o LOL! XD

the picture on her shop: (it was just as pictured, if not, cuter!!)

 

and here are the things that were included :)

i put them all under the somewhat see thru mat on my desk! :D

and a cute note (however my name doesn’t have an H! XD it’s okay)

okay! next, i bought a rare angelic pretty catalog from the spring/summer 2010 collection.

unfortunately there was no dreamy dollhouse but it is a beautiful catalog. the seller was so nice, she dropped it from $20 to $15 for me! :D and again she included cute stickers and an adorable handwritten note! i love those.

i’ll provide scanned photos of this catalog later on. :) count on it! (i’ve already taken pics, just not gonna spam this post with them haha XD)

as i complained about in my previous post, i couldn’t grab the macaron tartan jsk that i wanted from angelic pretty the other day, so instead of paying for $3 parking, my mom and i went to the 3 story juicy couture in union square! and i bought these shorts that i can’t find online which i’m secretly happy about :) they were expensive but it was like a pity present..HAHAH!

THE BOW IS SO PERFECT I’M SCARED OF MESSING IT UP!

i posted an entire photoshoot on flickr,

be sure to check that out! :)

i’ll post it on my blog when i’m not lazy.

sample/teaser:

i also bought the dolce vita boots i’ve wanted for a while! see more pics in the flickr above!

and dreamy dollhouse socks! they are so cute and i got them for really cheap.

these are old pics from about 2 weeks ago haha

that’s all! stay tuned for WAY more, guys! :) i’ll let you know  how the ebay thing turns out too…it will NOT end in tears :)
