Look-A-Like: Anna Sui & Daiso
So you remember my compact mirror obsession a while back. It was actually started by Anna Sui's mirrors. I just love the glossy black color of the mirrors and the rose patterns. Butt he one thing is that they are pretty expensive, about $25 for 1 compact mirror! But I would still look for them because I think they are just so pretty! But not just the mirrors, her combs, makeup cases all have that black rose print.
So when I went to Daiso a while back, I remember seeing similar mirrors that looked very similar to the Anna Sui ones but dirt cheap, like $1.50, $3, or $4. But I didn't buy one of them because they weren't foldable like I wanted but more like hand mirrors. But now I totally regret it and I hope I can go back to Daiso as soon as I can, which might be a while because it is a little far from me.
I haven't seen this one in person yet, but it has a rose and is folding so it has hope for my liking. It's probably $1.50.
This is the bigger version of the hand mirror I saw and this one was $3. I If I was going to get a hand mirror, I would get this one, but I already have so, I'll think about it.
The smaller version of the hand mirror. I don't know if I could be able to shove it in my bag though. This one is $1.50, a very good deal.
This is the mirror stand that's $4. I would get it if I didn't have a mirror on my dresser in my room. So not, it's not 1 of the ones I want to buy but still very pretty and Anna Sui-esque.

Metal Hearts
I have recently been looking for a new belt and at Walmart (yes, Walmart) while I was shopping for toothpaste, saran wrap, and CD cases, I found a black leather belt that looked almost like the ones (pictured above) from American Eagle Outfitters a while ago.

Coastal Scents Palettes
This is the 78 Piece Makeup Palette that's $18.95+shipping from Coastal Scents. There are 60 eye shadows, 6 blushes, and 12 highlighting and liner shades. I think I would get this palette if I had to choose between the 3 mentioned in this post because I am a beginner at makeup and this has more variety, not just eye shadow, but also blush and highlighters.

All Over the Place
-I finally got a haircut. Not the shoulder length bob, but just re-layering and a trim. I kinda regret because once again, my ends are sticking up and its too thinned out at my neck. Hopeully it will grow out soon. The bangs I'm quite satisfied with it but can get into my eyes.
-I finally found and went to Daiso California. Turns out it was closer then I thought. I bought an eyelash curler that fit my eye (But the padded curling part is crooked. Oh well that's what I get for $1.50), two packs of stickers to stickerfy my phone, and a compact mirror. Not that much, I hope I can go back soon.
-I got Boys Over Flowers on DVD! And...it was $6 at Soyodo! Most likely pirated. It was kid of a waste though, since I was already on episode 23 when I got it, but the episodes were broken on http://www.mysoju.com/ so I decided to get it.
-My dance recital was on Saturday. I had 2 shows. 2 dances in the first show (1 tap and 1 jazz) and 3 dances in the second show (2 tap and 1 jazz). My parents only went to the first show and taped my dances...the ones I messed up in. And the show my parents didn't watch and film I did great on! I didn't mess up on anything! Now I have 2 costumes I have no idea what to do with. I can use the pants from my tap dance costume as pajamas, my friend suggested. And as for the big pink skirt for my '80s/jazz dance, Halloween costumes anyone?
-I helped out at my church's VBS. This actually happened before my last post but I don't know why I neer mentioned it. But I did, and I never regret helping out every year and the week before to help decorate. The kids are all so cute!
-I saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I mean who didn't? And I realized I forgot a lot from the book. But so did the movie. I still liked it though. I went shopping after, the movie theater just being a few feet from the mall and I bought a pair of gold sandals.
-I actually read the books that were mandatory for summer reading. I'd never thought I could bring myself to read books that weren't about teenage romance or vampires over the summer. Just kidding. but these books seemed kind of, just kind of boring. So far, I finished The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I am half way through The Distand Land of My Father by Bo Caldwell and a few chapters into The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad.
-It's the top 8 of So You Think You Can Dance. I can't wait to see this weeks dances and Ellen Degeneres judging as it is the 100th episode of SYTYCD! I also want to go see the tour. It just happens to stop at the sity where I live! I hope I can go, I still haven't asked my parents about it though.
-t1enacious! Enough said.
So that much happened so far. Sorry for no photos! I usually love to post photos but I thought it would ruin the list layout I used this time. Also sorry for typos!

Shoulder Length Bob
And at first I wanted to keep the style I had, layers and sideswept bangs, but just to fix my bangs and get a trim. I tried to find pictures of celebrities with my hairstyles but no luck, you'll just have to use your imagination. The length of my hair is to about my armpit, the bangs are to the left and my hairline is about to the middle of my right eye. The layers start at my chin/jaw area and are seperated into about 3 or 4 layers.
But then I thought of getting a shoulder length bob, thanks to pictures from the internet of Nicole Richie and her gorgeous haircut. I realy like her haircut, but I don't know whether it would look good on me, and how it would grow out. It would just grow out to be a straight-across kind of style, which I really don't want after the bob.
So what do you think, should I go with the haircut or just get the same-old, fix my bangs and layer my hair again. I really need your help on this, I can't decide!

Unique Collaboration
The tin was a tokidoki tin! That reminded me of my past wantings of tokidoki for LeSportsac bags. But gosh, I never got 1 because they were just so expensive. I pondered about getting a fake one in Chinatown when I was in New York City, but it didn't look that nice (It was a fanny pack) and it was pretty expensive, even with my Asian haggling skills, for a fake bag. Then at the mall that I usually go to, there is a stand outside of the Sanrio store, that also had fake tokidoki bags, but that stand put really high prices for everything! So I didn't get. But now I have something that's tokidoki, authentic I hope!
I didn't discover the second thing until I opened the tin to see what it looked like. Inside was a mirror! I can't really explain so I will let you look at it for yourself at their official website, www.littlei.com. So how it related tomy recent past, so as you know since the beginning of 8th grade year for me, I have been wanting a little compact mirror, that was also unique. So I looked everywhere, and now when I wasn't looking I got one! It looks really sturdy too.
But I sure hope the tokidoki & Little i Mirror Mints collaboration is authentic because I didn't see anything in both of their website about this collaboration between them 2, so that means no pictures to show, boohoo!
But check out www.tokidoki.it and www.littlei.com even if this unique collaboration isn't listed on there!
Oh yes, by the way, the tin of mints was $5, a bit pricey for just a tin of mints, I thought at first, but I bought it anyway and I'm glad I did.

5 Romeos & Juliette
They just released their dance MV, which is all dance, no annoying Krystal Jung or Transformer-esque masks, just all dance. I watched it and now I want to learn the dance.
They are so in sync and together. They are very "charasmatic", but because of that"charisma" I like watching SHINee performances more than anybody else. they always give it their best and they never look tired.
So enough of my praising SHINee, I bet you want to watch the dance MV for SHINee's Juliette! They are all amazing but you should look out for Taemin, he is by far the best.

Forever 21
I need a compact mirror, and I really liked the rose, so I waited...and waited for it to be in stock, but I never saw it in stock at the store. I went to two different stores for it and still nothing.
I wanted this tank because...this might sound crazy...Sohee and Ye Eun of the Wonder Girls are on it! Ye Eun is the one standing the most to the left, and Sohee is the one standing in the center. For the pictures of the girls in that pose and clothes, go to http://www.allkpop.com/ and look through the archives, it's not that old. So I went twice and still no tank top.
I wanted this shirt simply because it had a heart and it had Snoopy. My friend and I have been wanting a Snoopy shirt since the celebrity endorsements (Super Junior, Big Bang, maybe SHINee) for the Korean brand Nii (www.nii.co.kr). Same thing, I went to the same store twice and no shirt.
I might try the stores again for the 3 things above, if I don't find them I might just have to order it online, which I really don't like to do.
Going Back...
This was the only top I bought today. I needed more of the not-as-casual-as-t-shirts-but-still-pretty-casual kind of shirts. I realy like the plum color of the top and the ribbon and stitching near the buttons.
I liked the ties on the side but not the fake tank top underneath so I put it back. But still, an honorable mention.
I liked the flowery lace where the bottons are on this shirt but I didn't want white and the only other color was brown so I didn't get it. I also don't know what I would wear underneath of it because it seems really loose.

Passions
This stuff not only smells good, it also kills germs! I don't know how much more expensive it is than other hand sanitizers but it doesn't smell like alcohol whenyou rub it in (Does that mean it does not haveas much germ killing ingredients?). It was also five Pocketbacs for $5. They are really tiny, and I will admit that it is a little expensive, but before it was like $1.50/Pocketbac! That would be $7.50! I saved $2.50! I got Nectarine Mint, White Citrus, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Midnight Pomegranate, and Unscented. http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3610484&cp=2484525&cm_re_o=3AEw%20mzkw%208sv%20PPCjCmA_n.nCjCD%20uBy%20D%20VBgLwf_zg
Not the cracker kind, the soft bread kind you find at the mall! I usually don't eat pretzels at the mall, but today I just had to get one, or two! Pretzel dogs to be exact. One for breakfast and one for lunch. I have never ealized how good they were. I am getting hungry from just writing about it. I want another one!
Flip-Flops
I got a new pair of flip-flops and Old Navy today. I really wnated a pair of fancier flip-flops and the rubber ones I always love. I don't know if I should get a pair that's one size bigger because I think I would feel ore comfortable in a pair that's one size larger, I have wider feet too, so I don't know if I should keep them. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5523
Hollister Co.
I used to not really like Hollister Co. that much because it was really expensive,but today with my friends, I really liked all the knit tanks there. It's perfect for summer, for me at least. I want to buy some, even though they are a bit on the pricey side for clothes. That's what the clearance section and outlet stores are for! http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category1_10251_10201_12646_-1_12552

Celebrity Look-A-Like: Aaron Yan & Jung Ui Chul
I was just watching episode 11 where Ha Jae (Jung Ui Chul) comes in and basically saves Jan Di. I noticed that he looked like Aaron Yan, someone who I used toreally like when I like Fahrenheit. Not saying that I don't like them anymore though. I had to do my research about Jung Ui Chul, before I didn't know what his real name was. It was pretty hard to get a nice picture of his.

I like all of them, I really don't have a favorite out of all of these. I hope I can go to Forever 21 and get one of these tops, and exchange the pair of pants I got...again.
I got too small of a size the first time, and I was in too much of a rush to go to the changing rooms, and then I went back and exchanged it for a bigger size, and now its too big. I have to dance in it and it needs to be the right size. So another reason for me to go to Forever 21!

How do you like the new Super Junior photo at the title? Want the link?http://icepluscoffee.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/5e0f58b40589618a0925678ff2b37aee.jpg I tried to get the logo free scan of their Version B poster that you can buy, I want it myself! http://www.yesasia.com/us/super-junior-vol-3-sorry-sorry-poster-version-b-all-members/1014517639-0-0-0-en/info.html
What about the new color scheme? Is it too black-and-white? I guess I channeled in some of Super Junior's 3rd album into this color scheme, hehe.
So, so express your thoughts on this new makeover!

I like the the bow belt but not the collar on the 3rd one. I like the skirt but not the "shirt" on the 1st one. I like the "shirt" but not the simpleness of the skirt on the 2rd one. The least expensive one is the 2rd one, then the 1st one, and the most expensive is the 3rd one. If I had to pick one of the 3, I would prbably pick the 2nd one; cheap, cute, and it looks the most like the one I was picturing in my head.
What would be your choice? Or do you think I chould just get a different dress altogether? Comment and let me know!

Celebrity Look-A-Like: Key (SHINee) & Taeyeon (SNSD)
I couldn't find good pictures of Taeyeon, partly because I didn't want to but, doesn't Key (farthest right, top picture) look like Taeyeon with his wig on? I sure think so, so does my friend. I mean it's not the greatest comparison, guy to a girl. I'm not trying to insult them or make fun of them. I love Key! (I don't really like SNSD, but that's not really Taeyeon's fault.)
Okay, they might not look alike in these pictures but do search on a search engine. I swear you will get a much better picture.
On a side note, so you know where the SHINee picture came from? It's from the MNet School of Rock episode with SHINee on July 24, 2008.

Buttons
Oh, how much I love these boots/pumps. I love the fake buttons on the side. I really want them. They are on sale at about $43 at www.yesstyle.com. The brand is 59 Seconds, a Hong Kong Brand, and it is about 50% off. Do you think that's a good deal? Should I buy it? The problem is that everyone knowws that I am a very casual girl. I almst always were sneakers. When I don't I wear flats. I NEVER wear pumps unless a special occasion. BUT I REALLY LOVE THESE! Do you think I should buy it? Would it be worth it? I probably have to tell my friend soon so that she orders them if I want them. Please help me decide! (Even though I know like no one knows about or read this blog)

Headbands
*All of these headbands are from Forever 21. They can be found at the stores and at www.forever21.com.
Super Rookie
I went shopping today It was proabably only because I had to return a wallet. I simply didn't want it anymore. I think I got pretty good deals today.
At H&M, I got 2 cardigans for the price of one. They were having a spring sale. I got a grey and a black cardigan. There is no internet shoping in the US for H&M, so I can't show what they look like.

I didn't get the exact same one, mine is pink, but a lighter blush-like pink. It is not grosgrain, but polyester made to look like silk. The bow was a double bow and lastly it was $3.80, not as great as a deal but I really liked it. It also came in cream and black.
