To The Races!

I went home this weekend.  Such a great break from preparing for exams and writing papers. The semester is almost over, I can't wait!  Anyway, when I went home, I splurged and bought the new 4S.  I love it so much. :3  Have yet to get a case for it, couldn't find one I liked in store, so I ordered a couple online.  Hopefully they come in the next couple of days.  I'm so paranoid about my phone.  Definitely don't have the money to fix it if it breaks!

My grandfather was in town, and as it always is when he's in town, we go eat somewhere posh.  We went to the kennel club to go bet on the dogs, and had lunch at the restaurant while we were there.  It was nice.  The tables were set with proper settings, and one wall was just windows so you could see the track. 

My mum and i pooled what cash we had on us ($11) and placed bets throughout lunch.

Those are our losing tickets! Boo!  We bet on seven races and we had a losing streak of four.  BUT we won our last three races.  It was fun.

Lunch was so good, too.  My mum ordered a lobster salad wrap, but I got a grilled grouper sandwich with fresh fruit on the side.


Lunch was so good.  I want to go there again!

My Brother's 21st! + Giveaway

Really just a pic post.  My brother was so unfun.  We went to eat at the ale house, he nursed a beer over three hours.  We went to the pool hall and stayed there for hours while he nurses a long island iced tea.  BORING.

My sister, her friend, and I had an amazing time. I was sober.






 There were a ton of other pictures, but I like these the best!  I especially love that silly face!

Also~  Check out Noxin's giveaway!  She's giving away 2 pairs of Geo circle lenses, a lens case for each pair, a super cute penguin traveling case and super super cute hk false nails, all from Shoppingholics (who is seriously my favorite online shop!)  So go check it out!

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.

Zak Bagans

A post that has to do with absolutely nothing.  The other day, my roomie's friend Anna came around and we ended up staying up until 5 am drinking Baileys and watching Ghost Adventures.  We definitely got giggly and a little carried away, probably the Baileys!, and Anna drew Zak Bagans.

We were watching the Gettysburg episode, and there was one part where Zak jumped up and said a ghost groped him.  Anna drew it.  We laughed.  I tweeted it to him, and he totally ignored it.  That or he didn't see it!  Boo.


Then he kept tweeting about soap!  How he was hungry and his hotel had vegetable soap and soap soap soap, so after reading them to Anna, she drew another one!  This time, Zak and soap! Too funny.


Completely useless post.  That Missha BB Cream post I said I would get up?  I'll get it up soon, I promise!  Haven't felt too much like taking pictures of myself lately.  At all, really.  So, hopefully I can get up one before picture and one after picture.

Make It Work! + Giveaway

Just a super quick post!  School's been crazy, and everything's really been weighing me down lately.  It feels like I must be in a slump.  I need to work myself out of it!  So I haven't been online much.  Just been trying to focus on school to drown everything else out.  One good thing about my weekend though, Tim Gunn was at my mall!  He was hosting a fashion show to launch the fall lines for Kate Spade, Juicy Couture, and Lucky Brand.  He was also giving styling tips as the models went down the runway.  The coords they picked were all pulled from the stores in my mall.  There was also a QA session after the show.  I really wanted to ask if he would be doing any more college tours, or if he had any good advice for someone hoping to get into fashion school, but I never got to ask.  Regardless, it was a lot of fun.  I was pleasantly surprised at the pieces that were in the collection, especially because I'm not really a fan of any of those brands.  Lucky had some super cute dresses, and Juicy had some really cute coats.  If only I were not a poor Uni student with no job.  They had an incentive.  If you spent $150 at any of those stores and presented your receipt, you'd get into the after party, and get to meet Tim Gunn, take a picture with him, talk to him, and enjoy refreshments and music!  That's the only downside to my Saturday.  I was so sad that I couldn't afford it.

Anyway, I was actually pretty close.  I made sure to get there super early, when the mall opened (good thing I did, too!) and managed to snag a seat right behind the VIP and Media in the third row.  (VIP being the first and media being the second!) I couldn't believe how close I was to him!  He's one of my role models, seriously.  I love watching him on Project Runway, and I love his books. (He's coming out with a new one next year!)  He's definitely one of my favorite people.  He's always so polite, well-dressed, and well-spoken.  I wish there were more people like him around! 

Enough text!  Photos and video!  I will probably reup the videos to youtube when I have enough free time.  The internet is so slow right now!
