Outfit: A New Year

I wore this outfit out to my friend's surprise going away party. My friend hosted a surprise party for her two cousins from Australia! The two girls are going back to their country soon and the party was probably my last time seeing them since they're in NYC right now ): It's upsetting since everyone is so use to them now. I am in love with their accents and they taught us some stuff. Like how they don't see kangaroo's often XD Aha! They also call pop soft drinks, and they told us about things from Australia that we don't have here :P
As for my outfit, it is just something really simple. I added the bow since the shirt is too plain and I didn't feel like wearing any of my necklaces
Oversized shirt: Forever 21 - $10.80 CAD
Navy blue bubble skirt - Forever 21 - ??
Stripped bag - Tai Shan (it says ASOS inside the bag, not sure if it's from the website?) - 50 RMB

Happy Belated New Years!

Hey guys! Happy belated New Years! I hope this year will be even better, and that your new years resolutions come true! I personally never set a new years resolutions for myself, whenever people ask me, I just say "to have a better year". Aha! As for New Years eve, i hung out with four of my friends, since some couldn't make it. We went down to Niagara Falls to watch the concert/fireworks/whatever else happened down there. We spent the majority of the time in the Casino hanging around, taking pictures and having deep discussions. We only went to see the concept ten minutes before the countdown :P










The Casino was packed with people, everyone was waiting for the countdown and they had free hats, although you had to go into the actually gambling area to get one -.- Also the Festival of Lights was going on, which is basically just lights around the falls with cartoons on it, really pretty and cute!
We also went to Clifton Hill, and into Midway which is a gaming center. Since we're all cheap we decided to look for token/tickets on the around and in the machine! XD Ahaha! After searching the whole area we ended up getting 60 tickets! I think i'm pretty pro at finding tickets, people just leave them in the machine! What the heck!? We ended up getting a 75 ticket flippy monkey toy, the guy was nice enough to give up something worth more :P








During the countdown, the Skylon Tower had fireworks coming out and around the concert area! It was amazing, and everyone's shouting Happy New Years at each other. Down fall: so many drunk/ sketch people, but they're all so friendly. While we were walking back to the hill, there were so many people who were hugging each other and saying happy new years to one another. So, what did you guys do for new years eve? :)

tdot with the girls

Hey guys, so I was out of town for three days with my two friends, sister and younger cousin. We went to live in my apartment  for a few days, which is located in Scarborough. We spent most, or actually the whole time shopping LOL I'll do a little re-cap of everything that we did during our stay!

Apartment:
I already told you guys it is in Scarborough, it is a pretty nice condo that includes a small swimming pool and gym that can be used for those who live in the building. I really want to live in there one day, right not we're renting it out to collage student.

 This is the living room, I love how one wall is made up of all glass! Also the balcony is on the left side, very small
 This is the window view of outside. Also what I fell asleep to every night. I swear I can just sit in the dark every night and watch the city, I love it! Can't see the CN Tower though ):
 


Day One
On the first day we headed out town around 3 p.m. since my dad had to work earlier. When we arrived at Scarborough, we drop off all the luggage and went to Pacific Mall to shopp abit. Our main concern was helping one of my friend on choosing a hair dye and actually buying it. We ended up buying Palty hair dye, since I've used it in the past. I didn't end up buying anything, just some chips and other food to snack on during the night. After shopping, we went to visit my aunt who lived near by and went out to eat dinner at a Chinese restaurant. We ended up dying my friends hair first, which turned out right! Then we wondered around the lobby area and the two girls went to the gym while my cousin and I went for a swim.


 
Day Two
After sleeping at 4:30 a.m. in the morning and waking up at 8 a.m. to get ready, i was surprisingly not tired LOL We decided to get ready at 8:30 and take the subway whenever we're ready to head downtown. It took us around 45mins to get downtown, we were nervous at first since it was our first time taking the subway alone, but thankfully my older cousin gave us directions before we left. We stopped at Dundas station and went to Eaton Center. Spent most of our day shopping in the mall and outside of it. Although we got bored of the mall after being there all day, we started people watching, aha. We had to wait until my older cousin was off work to take us out for dinner, we ended up going to a sushi restaurant that's right in front of Much Music (Queen st.) don't remember the name of the restaurant... but the food was delicious and cheap too!








My bento box from the Japanese restaurant. Shrimp tempura, California roll, and teriyaki chicken all for only $10-ish! *O*

Day Three
For the last day we didn't have much time to shop around, so we went to the Scarborough town center to eat breakfast and shop abit, then headed out to Pacific mall again. By this day we were all tired since everyone slept late, I slept at 4:30 a.m. for the two days because I was texting a friend... -___-


 Next post will be about what I bought during the trip! I didn't end up getting much, but that's alright!

New clothes

The second day before the start of winter break, i asked my mom to bring me to Value Village to pick up an ugly sweater to wear for the last schools day's "ugly sweater day". It was just an excuse for me to go to the thrift store, since my mom does not approve of me shopping there. Aha! Something actually caught my eye, a dark-ish red cardigan which was only $7 CAD. There were also amazing blazers, but I don't wear blazers often so I decided not to buy one.





A few days ago my mom was cleaning out her closet and putting some of her clothes in the storage, grandma spotted a sweater that she thought I might like, since I'm still somewhat into the granny style XD Grandma showed it to me and I thought it was pretty cute, although I don't know what to wear it with. This sweater is 18 years old, mom bought it when she just came to Canada, it's older than me!
