09: This Picture Tells A Couple Stories.

Personal, Shopping

30 Day Blog Challenge
A photo of the item you last purchased.

I bought this necklace stand at Winners while shopping with a girlfriend a couple days ago but there’s nothing on it yet because most of my necklaces are too long. The ring on top was from one of Seoul’s many amazing department stores. The necklace dangling on the bottom-left is my current favorite; I picked it up from a local designer at Stanley Market in Hong Kong (where my dad grew up). The Ladurée Marie Antoinette tea is delicious and straight from Paris. St.Ives leaves my skin buttery smooth. Tresemme’s Heat Tamer Spray is a love affair between my locks and my flat iron. My mirror desperately needs cleaning. What’s in the box? That’s a secret. And yes, I still have my high school grad pictures up. It’s been 5+ years but I’m too lazy to change it.

I Like Stuff.

Fashion, Hair & Make-Up, Shopping

1. Love my new Talula blazer… it was sooo worth it even though the picture doesn’t do it justice.
2. My favorite necklace. T’was from the BFF. ♥
3. I heart tassels. If only I found that perfect dress for a flapper costume for Halloween tomorrow.
4. Pearls + gold = beautiful combination.
5. Scared myself by losing another one at the club so I had to stock up on my favorite lipgloss.

Favorite New Things: May

Shopping

1. Necklace Stand from Urban Outfitters. I wanted to hang my necklaces on my wall but that involved too much work.
2. Big black sun hat. Had a white one so I had to get a black one as well.
3. Snake-print Obi Belt.
4. Scarves. I know it’s getting too hot for scarves but I couldn’t help it. It doesn’t help to stock up!
5. Books! I’m still waiting for two more boxes but I think I need to get a new bookshelf first. Mine is totally sagging and looks like a huge mess.
6. Marie Antoinette and The Duchess DVDs. I’ve been meaning to add these two to my collection and finally got it! I needed the MA one because there’s a scene where I want to use as a reference for my wedding in 200 gazillion years.
7. Crispy Minis. I’m soo addicted to these snacks.

I WANT STUFF.

Shopping, Wishlist

Boyfriend is forcing me to go to Seattle this long weekend— yes FORCING. I didn’t want to shop but he was so insistent so I felt bad and couldn’t say no. I have no idea what I want to buy though because I already did some major credit card damage this week BUT I managed to make a small list of things I’m hoping to get this weekend (can’t go home empty-handed!).

1. Trouser suit because I absolutely LOVE Rihanna’s look at the Met ball.
   

   Rihanna has invented a new approach to evening style.
   - André Leon Talley

2. Black thigh-high socks (image via Dinh Dinh L on Lookbook.nu).
3. Lady Gaga’s Bow Tie Headband. Lady Gaga has one, Pam got one so I want one too!!
4. Brisingr by Christopher Paolini (US/Canada). Been patiently waiting for book 3 of The Inheritance Cycle to come out on paperback to complete my collection but I think I’m just going to pick up the hardcover because I can’t wait any longer.
5. Marie-Antoinette and the Last Garden at Versailles (US/Canada). I’ve been eyeing this book for ages!
6. Rainboots. Hopefully ones similar to Plueys (via Urbane Bloc). I don’t need them but I just want them because they’re too cute! It’s perfect for Vancouver weather even though I rarely go out in the rain because I’m either at the office or in my car.
7. Statement jewelry. I found great posts in my reader from The Capitol Fashionista and Trend de la Crème with some amazing and affordable statement jewelry. I want more! Maybe I’ll try find some supplies as well because I want to start make my own.

ONLY 7?! *hangs head in shame*
