Relaxing day

 Hello!! 


Today i was supposed to see my friend, but i felt really sick last night so i couldn't go (◕︵◕) when i woke up i realized i was having an allergic reaction (so not contagious) and eventually decided to go get tea at the cafe my husband works at!!  

and OMG i did not know how good of a decision that was gonna be!!  I overheard a group of women next to me talking about makeup and how they were preparing for an opera show. OMG. I didn't post about it, but I went to see Barber of Seville earlier this fall and i absolutely loved it and have been obsessed with the opera ever since then. I'm really shy so I didn't say anything for a while but then I knew i would regret it and asked them if they performed in the opera. They said yes and one of the women was in the opera I saw ≧◡≦  They also said they were wanting to do makeup like mine and asked how I did it and what I used, i was totally starstruck xD I asked them to take a selfie with me because they are basically celebrities to me (✿ ♥‿♥) they were so nice, and they said the opera takes volunteers too, so I called the volunteer coordinator and am waiting to hear back. I'm so excited ≧◡≦ 




I didn't get a coord photo but this is what I wore. My friend Sam made the bracelet! 


My eye make! I had to edit it to make the colors look like they do in real life, since I only remembered to take this photo at night. I hate when make pics are too filtered and you can't see what the colors look like, so I usually try to keep the photos unedited. 



I used the purple and blue from this Too Faced Italian Sprits palette, then used the canmake glitter on top, since it's just glitter without a base color. I used a silver liner under my eye and then used the Flower Knows glitter on top!

That's all, see you soon!

Black Friday shopping!

 Hello!! (✿◠‿◠) 

I went black friday shopping with my mom and sister and our family friends!! It's always something I really look forward to because it's a time for all of us women to hang out together, especially since thanksgivng isn't really my thing!! It was a lot of fun this year, I think the best part was getting to go makeup shopping with my sister. We bought matching eyeshadow palettes ≧◡≦  It felt like something out of the Barbie movie, just girls bonding over fashion and makeup. 

I'll probably post the makeup I got later, but I only have pictures of the clothes I got right now! I'm trying to get over the hurdle of "i didn't take enough photos to blog" bc I noticed that's why I wasn't writing as much. I never know if people care about random thoughts to read all the text without photos xD 





This was my outfit of the day!! (✿◠‿◠)


I had seen the forever 21 x Disney collab but it was kinda overpriced for F21, but luckily a few things I had my eye on were half off (✿ ♥‿♥) 


This was something I was SO HAPPY to find. I was worried they'd be sold out by then since it was a popular collab. It's actually way warmer than I thought it would be, it's almost a coat since it's so thick. I also got the matching pants but I had to order online, so I'm just waiting for them to come in!!


ofc I wore it immediately when i got home (▰˘◡˘▰) 

*:・゚✧*:・゚✧

I also got some really cute wide leg blue corduroy pants from american eagle but the photo I took was weird looking, so I'll just update you when I get a better outfit pic! 




VS Pink obsession

Hello!! 

・✫・゜・。.

Recently I've been more obsessed with Pink from like 2010 than I normally am, LOL. It's like my one constant boom since I was a teen, but the stuff was so expensive to me at the time and fashion wasn't as important as it is to me now. Now I have grown up job money but Pink totally changed their style. They released some cute stuff last year that I showed in some of my posts but other than that it's been so hard to find ●︿● so instead, i wanted to share some inspo I found on pinterest!! Come live in 2010 with me ♥‿♥ 



Can you even IMAGINE walking into a Pink store that looks like this?? Seriously I would go feral over this xD the bright colors, sequins ... it used to have such a personality! idk maybe it's too normie fashion for my normally jfashion blog but my interest in this kind of thing led me to gyaru!! 


why did they stop making the dogs (◕︵◕) 





I'm going thrifting tomorrow, I heard that in my area there's a lot of older Pink at the thrifts. Pray to the gal goddesses for me xD i really want some of the yoga pants, i have 2 of them but I wore them so much last year that they're starting to look washed out, i'm heartbroken (◕︵◕) I found some at a goodwill today but they were in wayyy worse condition than the ones I have. 


Ugh, I just miss the 2010's xD maybe i'm just getting old but fashion then always had such an exciting and sassy feeling. I'm so over the "natural beauty" trend ◔_◔  but I've already ranted on that plenty xD 


*:・゚✧*:・゚✧


Anyways, I hope you enjoyed your trip to the 2010's mall with me (✿ ♥‿♥) I am really enjoying blogging and honestly instagram is such a bore to me now. I'm happy hanging out here living in the 2010's instead *:・゚✧*:・゚✧




Taco bell gals meetup ★~(◡﹏◕✿)


LOL I had this post written for like a week and never posted it, but here it is now, enjoy xD

・✫・゜・。.

Hello!! I am posting out of order xD but Sam was able to visit last weekend and it was so much fun!! We have this joke that we are "taco bell gals" since we're both obsessed with baja blast and taco bell. Sometimes people think it's a real gal circle or something when i reference it, which really entertains me since it's such a non-serious joke ヾ(〃^∇^)ノ LOL  

・✫・゜・。.

Anyways!! 

a group of us got to go out to a local restaurant on sunday night and brunch on Monday! I wore a casual outfit on Sunday, i still felt really cute tho!! 



I love this top from Pink, I got it last year when they did a special release of some of their original style pieces. 





 Sam brought me so many presents, I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the my melo set ♥╭╮♥  and all the makeup, really everything omggggg. She brought me a glitter liner from flower knows, and now i'm obsessed!! 



Going to brunch!! 


I had chocolate chip banana pancakes, they're my absolute favorite breakfast food from this restaurant! I need to go more often (✿ ♥‿♥)



This was my outfit for brunch!! I had my eye on this skirt from urban outfitters for several months but I was NOT willing to pay like 50 or 60 for it. I found it on the clearance rack for less than $20 the other day so i had to immediately get it (▰˘◡˘▰) 


Thanks for reading!! ・✫・゜・。.

Thanksgiving outfit ・✫・゜・。.

 Hello! Today I wanted to show you my thanksgiving outfit (✿◠‿◠) 


I'm really not a big thankgiving fan (⊙︿⊙✿) but at least I get to dress up. 



I forgot to get a good photo of my makeup :( I wanted to do a really sparkly mermaid type look, so I used a pale purple eyeshadow and put glitter on top! I did my usual shading under my eye with a darker purple too. I always like doing that since i think it makes my eyes look really big! I also did a bright pink blush and lipstick. 



This is my outfit!! I felt so pretty ★~(◡﹏◕✿) We went to my husband's aunt's house, and they had a super cute dog so I was happy xD 



Thanksgiving is sorta boring for me, honestly the real holiday is going black friday shoping bc I always go with my mom and sister as well as our family friends and it's like a special girls day where we get to spend time together. I'm really sad that they don't open the stores at midnight anymore, because now everything is way more crowded since there's only one day of shopping. Plus it was just weird and fun to be in a Macy's at like 2 am xD I'm still really excited to go tomorrow though!! I hope everyone had a relaxing day or holiday ・✫・゜・。.

Outfit photo dump and glasses shopping *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

 Hello!! Today I wanted to show you some recent outfits and talk about trying to find glasses



On Wednesday I went to the mall to find a present for my friend! I was inspired by swankiss for this outfit, I really like how it turned out!! 



I also tried bright makeup!! I felt really cute (✿ ♥‿♥)


Yesterday I met my friend for tacos at the other mall ≧◡≦ 


I love this outfit, I got it last year when Pink re-released some of their older designs. I wish they'd do this again bc their store is pretty much just basics now?? like plain lounge clothes.. sometimes there are cute things, or I just need something plain but idk, their brand used to be so much cuter and now it's all about natural beauty or whatever the hell. I wanna look loud and unnatural so it doesn't usually suit my style xD even with the softer looks I've been wearing I still like my outfits to have personality. 


I got carried away with my makeup xD I was like"just a lighter gal look today" then 10 mins later i'm gluing lashes on! It looked more dramatic in person i think. 



So I've finally given up with my glasses :( I'm so sad because I love them, but they keep breaking.  My husband offered to glue the screw in so the lens would stop popping off, but now they are breaking in other places and it's not worth the stress. I would literally be losing this stupid lens like once a week!! Sometimes i wear contacts but really only for special occasions bc they kinda make some of my health issues worse :( 

So anyways I went shopping today ... i didn't really like any of them?? I think I'm gonna go back tomorrow and make a decision bc I'm just ready to be done with it. Here's what I tried on!! Let me know if you have an opinion on any xD 






I tried to look at a lot of different styles, but a lot are too big on me since i guess my face is more narrow than average (◕︵◕) so there were a lot that I thought were cute but just didn't suit me, like one pair was pink glitter but I didn't think it looked good on me. I'm hoping tomorrow I will feel better about at least one of them!! *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

Overall skirt project *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

 Hi!! Today I DIY'ed an overall skirt (✿◠‿◠)  I'm still in my blue obsession, and i've been interested in Swankiss style a lot as well. 



I had this denim overall skirt in my closet and I thought it would be the perfect chance to use this seashell patch I've had for a while! 


This DIY was pretty quick and easy. I ironed on the shell and then decided it would look cuter with a bow on the top! I wanted the tails of the bow to frame the shell, and I chose a shiny sheer ribbon since it worked with the dreamy iridescent theme. 


I trimmed the ends of the ribbon and tacked it down by hand sewing it at several points so it doesn't unravel. 


We went to a burger place this evening with some of my husbands friends who have become my friends as well (▰˘◡˘▰) I was so happy that they had dairy free milkshakes!!




Make photos!! I used a new eyeshadow palette. I've never really experimented with bright shadows before. I went for a purple and teal eye look since I wanted to have mermaid vibes. I don't know if I really liked that combo though, I might do purple and blue next time?? I've been reading Saaya Hayashida's blog for inspo, since her eye make was actually super bright even though it's filtered to look pale on her blog. I found swatches and photos of the palette she used, and got one as close as possible to that!! 


This is the final outfit! I think it turned out so cute, and I'm happy I have cute compression socks as well since I have to wear them for medical reasons. 

That's all for today!! Tomorrow I'm going out to find a full length mirror that's better for photos than this one. I want to add some decorations to it. I'm hoping to do something like this, but not with flowers the whole way around.
