Thirteen Hallows

Hello, my loves!

hal·low - \ˈha-(ˌ)lō\: to respect greatly

Alright, so the title comes from the new instalment of "The Scarifyers".

When a haunted chess set causes consternation at the British Chess Championships, and a horse magically materialises in Kettering Agricultural Museum, MI:13 are called to investigate.

Harry Crow (David Warner) and Professor Dunning (Terry Molloy) follow the trail of inexplicable happenings to an unremarkable terraced house in South Wales, home to the mysterious Mr Merriman (David Benson). He’s very old, and very mad; but is there more to Merriman than first appears?

Meanwhile, in the South West of England, famed archaeologist Ralegh Radford (Ewan Bailey) is on the verge of the greatest discovery of the age. Britain’s Tutankhamen, the press are calling it. But what he certainly isn’t expecting to unearth is boisterous 1400-year-old knight Glewlwyd Gafaelfawr (Gareth David-Lloyd).

As Crow and Dunning unravel an unlikely plot to resurrect Britain’s greatest-ever hero, the race is on to stop sinister forces at home and abroad from finding… THE THIRTEEN HALLOWS.

I bought the CD because Gareth David-Lloyd was lending his voice to a character. I definitely don't regret it. The story was funny, and partly about King Arthur. One of my favourites! Not only that, but today (the 8th), Gareth David-Lloyd was signing copies in London. If you're interested, you can read about the signing here. It was one of the greatest moments of my life.

Shopping haul under the cut.

Shopping Addiction

Hello my loves! What's this?! Another post and so soon!!

Since I've been here in Colchester, I've been trying to limit my spending. I've applied to work as bar staff on campus (fingers crossed!), and I'm going to be looking in town as well, because hello, shopping is an expensive habit, and I need to support it!! There are also some gigs coming up (An Cafe, Big Bang, Blue Gillespie!!) that I have to go to.

Anyway, I picked up some things in town today. What's a trip to town without venturing into Top Shop? My new favourite store.

We had originally walked into Top Shop to get my friend a new bag because hers ripped. I certainly didn't intend to buy anything, but I saw SALE, and I just couldn't resist. There had been things that I had admired the past couple of times I had been in the store. None of them were on the sale rack, of course, but that doesn't mean I didn't find anything! I was actually quite restrained. I tried to justify buying these shorts, and I really couldn't. I already have a pair of black high waist shorts, but these are denim and my other pair isn't! And at £18, if I passed it up, then went back for it and missed out, I'd be so sad! They're a steal at that price, in my opinion, originally costing £32.

I really couldn't pass up the suspender tights. I've been dying for a pair, and these have bows! That's a sure way to get me to throw caution to the wind and snap them right up! I really can't wait to pair them with these shorts. That's one of my favourite looks. I love OTKs and thigh highs and any similar styles.

Who could pass up these socks, too?! I almost bought three pairs with the lace trim, but saw those bones and fell in love. At Trampoline, we bounce in our socks. I always get compliments because I'm a sucker for cute socks. I have so many patterns and styles, I really just couldn't pass these up. Am I wearing them now? Maaaaaaybe.

Love living here and Simple skin care is so easy to find. I've been looking for this Eye Make-Up corrector pen ever since Sami blogged about it. Also because Boots had a 3 for 2 sale and I needed to buy moisturiser, I picked up this deep cleansing face mask. Can't wait to try it.

Until next time, my loves!

I think...I spoil myself too much!

Some recent gets.

I have an Angel card from Victoria's Secret, and every year they send you a gift card. These cotton shorts are my favourite. They're so light and comfortable. Versatile as well! They're comfortable to lounge in, but you can also wear them under a short/flouncy skirt as a type of bloomer. I've had a black pair for about a year now, and when my friend told me they were on sale, I couldn't pass it up. I got some more. Someone take my card away!

Now sexy comes in every color! Supersoft, supercute & stretchy sleep shorts to mix, match, or mismatch. Available in a wide variety of colors. Imported cotton/spandex.

They really are "supersoft, supercute and stretchy". I have a couple tank tops from the "One Size Sexy" line, as well. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

Clips from Sassy N Punk. There was a coupon 50% off, so I definitely couldn't pass it up! I can't wait to wear the clips.

And a full sample of the Burlesque collection from De Leon Cosmetics.

I have more coming in the mail. I think I've gotten too carried away!

Nyx Haul

Hautelook was having a sale on Nyx cosmetics! Buying things always makes me feel better, and who can resist makeup? Well, my package came today. A patch of bright in a blah day.

Pump It Up Lip Plumper in Elizabeth

Ultra Pearl Mania in Lilac Pearl, Baby Blue, Pearl, Lime Pearl

Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Black

I can't wait to play with them.

Yep. Shopping Problem.

My flat mate and I are horrible.  We get bored, instead of school work, we go shopping! 

Another Shopping Haul!

Ok, I shop way way too much.  It's ok though.  The Bendels that's opening is still hiring for associates and a key holder, so I'm going to submit my resume on Monday, and hopefully I'll get an interview!  It'll make up for it.

Anyway, I can't help it!  I just get so bored.  It's mostly because I was out and about today as well, had to return some things to Ikea so when I drove by the mall I had to stop!  i went looking for a specific style of tank top (unfortunately never found) and ended up stumbling onto some ridiculous sales.  All the sale merchandise was an extra half off!

So~  Went to F21 (the only place I didn't shop the sale racks) picked up some basics, nail polish and face masks

Gray                                                   "Avocado"

Raspberry Mask, Tomato and Grape Yogurt! and basic tanks

Every where else I went I went straight to the sales.

Went to Hollister (cute worker who was super cute was teasing me about my amount of bags.  Such a nice smile he had :3)

American Eagle:

This skirt was $10 and the tank was $5.  Seriously, how much better can that get?

AND last but not least, Urban Outfitters.

I also bought my roomie a gift, but I don't want her to see it, so I won't upload it or talk about it! 

Best part is, everything was so only sale it was all around $150!  So lucky~  Especially because these Urban dresses are like $60 each.  I saved at least $90 at Urban alone.

Just a quick in between post!

I have a midterm due Thursday!  Fun fun. I'm so glad the semester is almost over.  Though, I suppose I can't call it a semester, only two months!  I'm not going to get two As like I wanted. Apparently everything that has been drilled into me over the years pertaining to writing is wrong.  So I'm struggling a bit.  As long as I can pass with a B, I suppose I'll have to accept it.  I won't be happy about it, but it's acceptable.  I'm still trying hard for two As, but I think I might only get one.

Anyway, not why I'm writing this.  I bought a new body wash the other day, and I just used it for the first time today.  It's Olay, which I've never used before.

It has Rose scent and almond oil, which is nice.  I like Rose, but I don't use a lot of rose products because a lot of the time the scent is too strong for me.  This rose scent is just right, and my skin is definitely noticeably softer.  It was so nice after a rough day of struggling to read one of my school books.  The scent was relaxing and now my skin is super silky satiny smooth and I can't be happier.

Anyway, I'll replace with my own pictures later~ and next post will be after my midterm and a BB Cream review!  

I don't know how to not shop...

We went to the mall today. I actually did pretty well! We went into a ton of stores, and I picked things up, carried them around for a bit, then decided I didn't really need them, so I put them back. I am proud! Victoria's Secret was almost my downfall, because the Semi-Annual sale is still going on!

ANYWAY, went to Journeys and got to try on my shoes, BUT I'm pretty sure I won't fit a 3, which will put me up to a 4, which is an adult size and I don't want to spend that much on them ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Got a boy's number though!

Anyway, I couldn't resist. I've been eyeing this palette since I saw it about two weeks ago, I believe. Hello Kitty line from Sephora of course, I'm addicted. The packaging caught my eye first, it's so gorgeous. The cherry blossoms...beautifuuuul! Then I opened the palette, and it's all colors I use. I knew then that I had to have it!

Eyeshadow and Blush Palette. It's called Memoirs of a Kitty Palette. dfjapefjapwofij

Eyeshadows are:
Pearlized Pinky Beige
Pearlized Tan
Pearlized Honey
Sparkling Brown

Blushers are:
Peach
Rose









Just bought it today, obviously haven't used it yet, but I can't see how I would be unhappy with it. It's all the colors I use, and well, I needed more!

Shoppiiiiiing...again.

So I did a bit of shopping today.  Mum went to the medi spa and I went shopping while waiting for her!  I went a couple of places.  I'm on the hunt for a cute summer dress.  I remember seeing one in Macy's that I really loved by Guess, but I went today and they didn't have it. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

So I went other places, Delia*s, Charlotte Russe, different brands in Macy's.  I didn't find anything I ilked.  Sad.  I'm quite picky about dress styles.  It needs to hit just right, and I don't want it to make me look any shorter than I am!  Anyway, I ended up not getting a dress, but I did still come away with other things.

Two tank tops from Delia*s, a notebook, a makeup brush, and moisturizer.  I spent way more than I wanted to, but that's ok. 

Anyway, Delia*s~

I shop too much.

Hmmm, so I shop a lot apparently, but anyway~ that's not the only purpose of this post!

I had orientation this weekend for school.  It was boring.  I've already been to two other orientations for college, and they kept saying this one would be different.  It wasn't.  I stayed while they went over the first portion, then they let us pick which info sessions we wanted to go to, and they wanted us to go to three.  I went to one, the study abroad session, and skipped out on the rest.  I took a long lunch :3 then went back for the second half, and advising.  I signed up for two classes for the summer.  I wanted more, but those were the only classes still open.  Buuuut!  I only need about ~16 classes before I'm finished with my degree.  

Anywaaaay so after orientation my friend and I went to this art show the school was putting on for the seniors.  It was an um...interesting experience.  I'd like to leave the first part of it as I've seen more of a girl than I've ever wanted to, and I hope I never have to see it again.

Aside from that, the second half of the art show was pretty cool.

 

It actually worked, too!  It obviously went in a circle, it was supposed to be a carousel.  That was my favorite part of the night.  The rest of it, I was a bit uncomfortable.  Parties aren't really my scene, and I'm uncomfortable around a lot of people.  I played twitter trivia with Block B Intl kkkk

Aaaand my bestie and I went shopping~  to Urban of course!

My friend Nicky got a cute sweater there with his sister some time ago, and I fell in love with it, but at my Urban, they didn't have anything smaller than a large.  A guy's large.  I need like a guy's extra-small.  BUT, I found it at this Urban and immediately snatched it up!  It was the only xs~

It's my favorite.  Soooooo soft, and it looks cute with shorts and my white converse.  (which those are new, too) 

I also got a cute dress.

My first dress of the summer season this year~

The back is my favorite, it's got a cut out and a bow tied on top of it.  Sadly, that's a really awkward position and I can't get a good picture of it, sooooo~ 

that's what it looks like

super on sale.  $5.  New favorite hat~

my bestie gave me these~  they're from Topshop and she got them in London lucky girl. I want to go to London so bad~ 

I bought these not too long ago~  Two for the price of one.  I don't remember if I've already blogged about it.  It pays to be able to wear youth sizes~

I now have them in white as well~

Aaaaand last but not least~

I finally got my hands on BB 4.5~ I was so excited driving home today knowing that this was waiting for me!

it's so beautiful ㅠ.ㅠ

You push where the CD is, and it pops out!  One of my favorite things about it.  The packaging is so clever!

The CD book is a photobook/lyrics full of 100 pages of Big Bang deliciousness~ 

I'm honestly not sure what this is!  My Korean isn't strong enough yet~

The YG Family card I got!  I think Daesung-ah's picture is the sexiest out of everyone else's with Tabi at a close second.  I traded him though for the super sexy mini4 Tabi

and of course it came with a poster.  I'm not sure if I'll put it up, yet, but Tabi and Panda look great!

aaaand that's the end of this post~
