Lovely shoes surprise!!
Mummy came home today and surprised me with a pair of shoes I wanted from Lovely Shoes!!! I have a review of this store here and is one of my most popular posts.
I didn’t want to just buy one pair from the online shop and have to pay for shipping, so mum combined it with her order and surprised me with it!! I loveee you mummy! ♥
Here are the stock images. Please do not ask me about your size, I really don’t know what size you will be. All I can say is that I am a size AU7.5, EUR38-39.
Pretty cute, right?
When I received the shoes, they were still cute.. and still looked the same.. just somewhat different. I think quality really makes a difference in your shoes.
But for US$17.00, I really can’t complain too much. What you pay for, is essentially what you get.
I think the heel is smaller than I had imagined and the material is alot less stiff. The material is more like soft plastic leather, rather than soft stiff leather. haha! Nonetheless, I will still wear these out.
I purchased a size 39 in these shoes, but they were actually a tad too big. From me and my mum’s experience, we conclude that sandals at Lovely Shoes are big made, whereas closed-toe shoes are usually just right or small made.
If you plan on making a order with Lovely Shoes, they currently do not have a minimum item order anymore so you can actually buy one pair of shoes!!! Before, it used to be a minimum of 10!!!
Have fun shopping!! And don’t forget to tell me about your experiences with Lovely Shoes!
Black & White
Birthdays are usually my favourite occasions to go out.. because I like to have a good reason to get off my computer (geeeky meee!!) and a good reason to lose a few precious hours of sleep. Sleep is too precious for me these days..
So on Saturday, there was another birthday. I didn’t for too long, but I made it for the dinner. I actually forgot to bring my camera out that night (since my SLR’s are sooo big) so I only took photos when I got home..
See what an awesome outfit blogger I’m becoming?
I actually took photos after a night out, just to blog about it! ♥
Okay, I’m just kidding. I do it because I love you guys. *wink ;) (in reality, I can’t wink… so I like to wink “online” as much as possible. Forgive me if you think I’m being a little suggestive. muahahahaha.)
Alright, onto the serious stuff.
I wore this strapless dress with a striped bow on the front. I bought it from an asian boutique like yonks ago, and have never everr worn it!! I think I’ve always steared clear from strapless dresses because my arms are horrrrribly chubby :(
Blazer from Paper & Scissors
Name necklaces from Mynamenecklaces
Used purple and pink shadows from Vogue Culture‘s 88 Metal Mania palette
False eyelashes from Kiwiberry
Aqua mermaid nails
Screw twitter today.
I feel like the traditional blogging rather than micro-blogging!
That said…. if this post still doesn’t exceed 140 characters… Then…. lol at myself..
I’m blogging from my phone for the very first time cause I’m that desperate to blog. Awesome aren’t I?
Anyway.. I spent about an hr changing my nails last night cause I was so overrr my last design.
I then realised I haven’t done many “nails of the day” lately….
I think its because I’ve got gel nails… and with gel nails.. you would usually change your design every 3 weeks or so.. and I’ve just been getting french tips soooo… nothing too exciting there…
I got lazy so I used nail stickers to decorate my nails. Hardly use those these days.. but it turned out kinda simple and cute! ♥
What do you guys think?
Fleas
It’s been a horrrible week for me and Kawaii. In fact, it sounds like something I’ve read on FML.
“Today, I realised my bed was infested with fleas…. but only after sleeping in it for a week. FML”
Sound familiar? Well.. I’ve got nothing to say.. but seriously, f my life.
My whole body is bitten by these evil things and my puppys been scratching herself all over the house. I’ve washed her once a day, and put flea powder everywhere and nothing seems to be stopping them!! Summer is coming soon as welll.. fml.
I originally took a photo to show you guys, but I couldn’t take a picture that could hide my flabs -_-”
Needless to say, I’m furious at Kawaii and the little black things on her fur. Should I shave her?
Bleh.
I haven’t been in an awesome mood because of the itchiness all over my body, so I’ve been lazy with my outfits. Mainly wearing jeans and a sweater. This sweater I purchased when I was shopping with my sister that day. I really like the detailing on the shoulders and leopard prints have always been my favourite.
I like.
Shopping
My sister and I went shopping together the other day.
It has actually been some time since we went shopping together since we both work very different times and can hardly get the “days” off together to go out. The only time we see each other is late at night, or when we decide to play mahjong :D
This time our hair doesn’t look exactly the same.. do we still look alike?
Outfit of the day picture taken in Bardot. LOL. How vain am I?
Haha, but truthfully, I don’t give one crap at all. Stare all you like, I’m still going to whoop out my camera and take a photo of ME, MYSELF and I. That’s how I roll, yo. ;)
Lies and Highschool dramas
Sponsored by Nuffnang
Have you ever lied about something and had it backfired worse than you could of imagined?
I mean, we all do it right? Whether we’re hiding something from our parents, or our friends, or our
teacher.. we’ve all made a little lie about something.
Nuffnang invited me to watch the pre-screening of Easy A on Wednesday night, which opens in cinemas on September 16.
Easy A is a comedy movie about a high school girl Olive Penderghast who makes a little white lie about losing her virginity. When the word gets out, the whole school finds out, including her classmates, principals and teachers. The girls start to call her rude names, and basically, she sees her life paralleling Hester Prynne’s in the book she studies in her English class, “The Scarlet Letter”.
Olive tried to portray herself as an entirely different person, and at the end of the day, she realises, she doesn’t like that image of herself. She makes up a few other lies to cover up the first one, and eventually ends up in a very complicated position!
The movie was more of a high school flick, but it was nice to watch nonetheless. It really reminded me of high school days..
I mean, its been a while since I’ve been at highschool, but thinking back, every single thing you did in highschool made an impression of you. For example, something very little, I used to always come to school well-prepared.. with scissors, glue, liquid paper, you name it, and I’d have it.
Everyone used to know me for having everything. It wasn’t bad in any way, but just a little example of how the movie had related to me.
Highschool is like a little community, a little town. If you do something, word is bound to go around. There is so much drama, so much gossip… you’ll find yourself losing friends, and at the same time finding some. It’s something we all go through.. but at the end of the day, we realise what’s right and what’s wrong.. who our real friends are, and who aren’t…
So, my question to you is.. have you ever made a lie, and it has just completely backfired on you?
For me…
My fondest memory about a lie I’ve made that completely backfired on me was from primary school. In primary school, I was very insanely obsessed with whiteboard markers!! I dreamed of being a teacher for years, and I used to always draw on the mirrors at home with whiteboard markers as I was “studying”… and teach the class the maths question, or comprehension question I was doing.
One day, being the mischief one I always was, I stole a whiteboard marker from the classroom and quickly shoved it into my school uniform pocket. I mean, the teacher had so many!!! It wouldn’t hurt to lose one, right?
So after class that day I was walking down the stairs after class for lunch. I took out money from my uniform pocket, and it was so full of tissues and coins that I had to take everything out to take out my money!! When I took everything out of my pocket, ofcourse I also took out the whiteboard marker cause I wasn’t thinking, the teacher behind me stopped me and asked where I got that marker.
Teacher: Where did you get that marker?
Me: Eh? My mum bought it for me.
Teacher: Can I see?
Me: Sure………………..
Teacher: I don’t think so. It prints S.S.P.S (my school name). You come see me after school finishes today.
Me: -_-“ fml.
Maybe I should of just told the truth, but I was too young to even realise anything. And ofcourse I got into trouble after school and I think the teacher wanted to talk to my parents…
So what’s something that’s happened to you?
Easy A is released in cinemas on September 16, 2010 and I’ve been given the opportunity to give away 5 free double passes for this movie!!!!
Now, all you have to do is comment below and tell me what lie you’ve made before, that’s totally backfired worse than you’d imagined?
For more fun from Easy A make your own A tag!
Side Swept Bangs like Gyarus and Ulzzangs
I’ve admired gyaru bangs for the longest time now. They always look so so cute with their bangs!!
And then when I try to grow it out, the pictures make me wanna cut my bangs again. So.. it’s always been a hard decision on whether to be banged or not ;)
Anyway, I made this tutorial since it was requested on my Formspring.
So if you want bangs like these… then you can try this tutorial! Keep in mind though, that alot of gyaru’s hair is “fake”.. such as fringe wig, or just a full head wig! So.. that’s why it always looks perfect!
So if you’re interested in how to recreate these fringes… then watch my tutorial ;)
Keep in mind that my bangs are actually a lot longer than their ones, so thats why it might look a little different.

I can have gorgeous pictures too!!
I think ever since I started photoshopping last night, I got hooked onto it!! Mr.CG was over all night supervising my studies so I wasn’t able to photoshop!! But after he left, I just managed to slip in 10 minutes to play with another picture!
This photo was from about 4 years ago when I first started dating Mr.CG. Wow, so long ago huh? I didn’t even know how to use make up back then, and circle lenses and lashes weren’t even part of my world yet.. I didn’t even own a foundation for god’s sake!!
BUT.. ofcourse, all these can be photoshopped ;) I decided to mosaic my friend, I don’t think she’d be happy with me showing pictures of her from 4 years ago to all my readers. haha!
I also want to say thanks to all those who told me I was still beautiful without photoshop.
You guys are totally so sweet cause I can totally make out a heaven and a hell from the last photo! haha ♥
This is actually quite fun!!
In this photo, I added lashes, circle lenses, bigger hair, an extra strand of blonde streak (how similar the two pieces look huh? You’d guess…) and some pink lipstick and blush! :)
