Sheinside Maxiskirt ;)

April 23, 2013

Love this new skirt from Sheinside!!

You can create so many looks with this skirt. Here are two that I threw together. The first one is great for a fun summer outfit or something you could wear to a festival or fun concert! The second is just the maxiskirt worn as a dress and then belted. It’s super simple and can be dressed up or down.

Here’s the second look!! 🙂 I don’t remember where the belt was from, but the cute pearl necklace was from Shibuya 109 in Japan. (Got it last summer!)

No foundation/powder/concealer in these pictures. Lipstick is Revlon and Makeupforever, eyeshadow is Urban Decay, Too faced and Nyx, and mascara is Clinique 🙂

Visit www.sheinside.com next time you’re missing anything in your closet! They have super cute trends going on and nice quality clothing. Sheinside has a very trendy upbeat look that I really enjoy!

Here is a link to another sponsored post I did for one of the dresses they sent me.

Dinner with Grandma! (Family and cute balcony garden)

April 22, 2013

Last Friday we went to my grandma’s house for dinner!!
She cooked us delicious plates of traditional chinese food nom nom nom
It was nice to just relax and spend some time with the family. The only downside was that Bridgette was sick 🙁

Here is a picture of my parents and my grandma! Best family ever!

My grandma also has a bunch of plants on her balcony. They’ve been blooming wonderfully and the flowers brighten up the whole room. It’s so pretty gahh

I barely know anything about flowers or gardening, but both my mom and my grandma love plants and gardening. Good for me, because I’m surrounded by houses with gorgeous gardens all the time thanks to them!

I also have been working on the second Japanese Seventeen magazine outfit imitations, but it probably won’t be up until the middle of this week or next weekend. I’ve been getting kind of behind on schoolwork and etc. bad ally bad ally.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and reading this.

Have a great rest of the night.

Bridgette’s Birthday Party !

April 22, 2013

My younger sister Bridgette’s birthday is this Wednesday! 🙂

She celebrated with a birthday party a few weeks ago with her middle school friends, and I took some pictures of the event to share. Tiffany came over to help as well, and we gave the girls manicures and baked cupcakes for them to decorate!

We made a batch of twelve cupcakes on the day of her party, and then we made another batch the following morning. (And a bunch of tiny ones!)

You can see the tiny cupcakes in the last picture. I decorate eight and put them in a box for my boyfriend. He loved them! (It’s also a great idea for Valentines day.)

I wonder why we never tried out the cupcake decorating idea at any previous parties. It’s actually extremely simple and gives great results.
Just lay out some blank cupcakes, offer different colors of icing and frosting, and an assortment of sprinkles, and just watch everyone go crazy. You can get soo creative with this stuff. I was kind of on a tight budget, but next time I’m definitely buying some colorful candy and fruit to use as decorations too!

The results were so much better than expected!!! I might actually have a shot at being a decent cook haha. I’ve been thinking of experimenting in the kitchen lately…. hmm…

I’ve been really bad with posting lately, but I have a lot of posts that I’m planning to get up soon. Thanks for reading, and feel free to comment with any questions or input! 🙂
