OOTD: DC, Definitely not Cold.

During the holiday weekend (right before the new years) I took a trip down to Washington DC. It was to commemorate my five-year anniversary with my boyfriend. We wanted to travel and have an adventure. What a better way to go somewhere we've never been together! We spent the entire day exploring just two Smithsonians. I honestly did not think it would've taken so long but it took the whole day. This is what I wore on that abnormally warm day.

OOTD: Layering 101

I haven't posted an outfit on here in a while or anything really. Life has taken an unexpected turn for me. A lot of things have happen that made me change my perspective on things that I didn't even think about so I haven't been able to take the time and create content. Enough about me, here is an outfit I wore this weekend, on Halloween. Needless to say, I didn't do anything for Halloween. I just went around and ran some errands.

Dying Asian Hair: Silver Purple Hair

Here is the last chapter of Dying Asian Hair series because this is all about putting color onto your hair. I might make another post to show you all the fantastic colors since fading will occur. For now, let's talk about how to color.

Dying Asian Hair: Bleach Session #2 & Toner

It has been a little more than 3 weeks so I finally took the time to do the second session of the bleaching process. This time I got it blonde enough to actually tone it lighter because honestly, I don't think my hair could handle another bleach session.

REVIEW: Tokitti's Shop

Let's start this post by thanking the universe because after hours of google search, I finally found a place that sells a hefty amount of kawaii sticker flakes that a) does not take a month to deliver b) does not have any crazy shipping cost; I found a store where shipping was a whopping 14.99 USD for a handful of stickers. T_T and c) a site that did not look shady. I eventually found Tokitti's Shop on storeenvy.

Dying Asian Hair: Going Blonde

This summer I am determined to dye my hair something wild. It's going to be my last year of college so I want to try something outrageous before I go out there and be professional. Before anything, I have to create a base where I can go crazy. I have to bleach it blonde before I do any color. This is what I did. Follow me on my journey to pastel hair. ;D To get started, here is what you need:

OOTD: Finally Floral

The weather finally decided that it wanted to be spring so I can officially put away my winter clothing. Just in time to celebrate, my city had a Spring Festival ~ It was crazy crowded but I got a lot of free swag. Heh heh! Its always fun getting free stuff, it's that #collegestruggle life. Haha. Moving on, this is what I wore. 

One Day Adventures

I decided to take a trip with my boyfriend up to Mitsuwa and then go to New York because it's only 30 minutes apart. I haven't gone to Mitsuwa since last year and now that I'm twenty-one, I wanted to buy some sake. I remembered wanting to buy some the last time I went because they were so pretty! I'm a total sucker for pretty packaging. I'll start off the post with my outfit of the day. I went for comfy because New York is all about walking. Honestly, I should have worn another layer because it was unexpectedly cold that day.

Revamp!

Hey, everyone! I will be changing my URL really soon but I wanted to give a heads up before I do so. I will also be updating a few things on here, mainly some layout things. My old posts will carry onto my blog with the new URL so if you're worried about that, there is no need too. For the couple of weeks I will under construction. Blog will still be up and when you visit this site again, it will lead you to me new site and hopefully, you guys will follow me again there.

Blogmas... & A Summary of My Break

My blogmas was definitely a bust. I did not account for finals week. Those were long and vigorous weeks. I spent 4 consecutive days working on a final project that was mandatory BUT it was only worth 10 points out of my entire grade. There were countless struggles with this project. /sigh. I had so many problems trying to figure out these specialized printers that I cried upon seeing my boyfriend. Yea…it was that stressful. :( Not to mention I spent a hefty amount of money just trying to get it done. Again, :(. Thank goodness for Priscilla and Turner for keeping me sane during the whole process and my boyfriend for helping me mount my project because exacto blades are no fun.

REVIEW: TonyMoly Avocado Cleansing Cream

I wanted to buy a heavy-duty type of cleanser that will remove my water-proof makeup, mainly water-proof mascara. That stuff is so hard to remove! I have tried oil make-up removers. I even bought a travel-size Josie Maran Argan Oil Cleanser to try but I find it so hard to apply. The oil just end up seeping through my fingers so I never have enough product to rub on my face. Not to mention Argan Oil products are expensive so I feel like it's such a waste. So I thought I'd try TonyMoly Avocado Cleansing Cream. 

Fall Haul; Uniqlo, F21, etc

New season means new clothes. Here are the goodies I bought so far throughout this season. There are a few that I didn't take a snap of because I've worn them and it's in the laundry at the moment.

BLOGMAS 2014

I'm challenging myself to BLOGMAS this year! If you're unfamiliar with it; it is when bloggers post a post everyday until Christmas. This is supposed to get bloggers into the habit of making content and posting more often than usual. I think this is the appropriate challenge for me since my posts are...rather sporadic. I know, I am so bad! Which is why I am doing this ~ I really enjoy running this blog so I want to create content for all the readers I have so wish me luck! And enjoy all the posts coming to you everyday until Christmas!

OOTD: School Outfits

Here are some noteworthy outfits I wore for school. I picked out 5 outfits that you can wear in a week with interchangeable pieces so repeat pieces but still have a new look and be cute!

TAG: What's on my phone?

iOS 8 just came out so I thought this would be an appropriate time to show you, what's on my phone ! This is a quite popular tag. I probably went through at least 10 tags to seem what apps I should download and it seems that most bloggers and youtubers have the same apps. It is understandable but the videos and the posts definitely got boring after viewing like 3 so I hope mine is mildly interesting.

Discount codes galore ~

Being a college student means long nights with that $200 text-book instead that new wardrobe for this season. So save a little with Unidays. They give you a specialized student discount code for some of the trendiest fashion stores like ASOS, Levi's, Karmaloop, boohoo, etc that you can use EVERY time you shop there.

OOTD: Autumn is Coming

It just turned August and suddenly everything is about back to school and the Autumn holidays. I'm also in that weird transition where I want to wear all my Fall fashion items but the weather (usually) does not permit. Here is an ensemble that shows my indecisiveness:

HAUL: Forever21

I bought some things from Forever 21 online. They had a extra 30% off sale items and I got tempted into buying some things. Here are the things I purchased:

OOTD: Goose & Geese

I haven't done an OOTD post in a long time because I don't carry my camera around too often since it is so heavy. I had it on my little sister's graduation so I was able to take some OOTD photos! Here is my outfit for her graduation.
