IMATS LA 2013

Hello, hello! Sorry for disappearing (again), I had such a busy couple of months and was also getting sick in between, but I'm back! Last Saturday, I went to IMATS LA, whoo~ And it was actually my first time there, so it was pretty overwhelming because you're basically in a convention center room with thousands of other people, breathing the same air as everyone, brushing against strangers, there's stuff everywhere, and so many things going on all at once. My eyes were literally darting everywhere!

IMATS was a really great experience; although I spent more than I would have thought ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Right when I walked into the IMATS showroom there were half-naked men with washboard abs throwing free make-up brushes into the crowd! I managed to successfully nab myself some (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜  I talked to many amazing people and learned some new make up tips and tricks. I was also so ecstatic that I finally got to meet two of my favorite YouTube bloggers in real life!!! Bunny and Jen were both as cool and nice as they are in their videos~ Discounted make-up, of course was also a huge perk, he he he (・㉨・)ノ There was this stage area where professional make-up artists do looks on the models. My personal favorite was Roshar! I loved seeing him create a chic extraterrestrial look on one of the models. He had a really bubbly and fun personality which made his presentation even more enjoyable. I wish I remembered to bring my dslr so you can really see how beautiful his look was, but I was in such a rush in the morning to get to the train station (≧0≦) After IMATS, I went to this ice cream parlor called Scoops, which specializes in "unconventional ice cream flavors". I had the jasmine tea + honey flavored ice cream. Jasmine tea and honey is a great combination, and tastes even better as ice cream~

Final thoughts on IMATS: Everyone should definitely go~ Make-up lovers would have such a blast and even if you're not that interested in make-up, I guarantee you would be walking outta there with a couple of things~

A tad of plaid

F21 cropped top | F21 skirt | eBay shoes | F21 chain | Asos rings 

The thing with that cropped top was that it was actually a dress that had a gigantic hole on the side of it. So I was like, what the heck, the bottom half of this dress is damaged so I might as well just keep the top half! As weird as this sounds, I love cutting my clothes LOL My mom said I've been cutting up my wardrobe since I was little tot and it transgressed to this present day, my older teen years. 

I am on a gold-toned jewelry grind at the moment! I've never been much of an accessorizing kinda gal but slowly... my "like" for gold-toned jewelry will develop... and soon I will be obsessed... (^_^)y

I've been having sort of a hair crisis lately, like I don't know what to do with it... Like it's just there, lifeless, on my head. Well duh, hair is lifeless, but this sorry thing I call "hair" has no volume or oomph! I'm also thinking about ditching the whole straight bangs thing and just letting that sucker grow and be whatever it wants to be. And yeah! 

Who else is mad pumped for Christmas? Holy shit, I know I am! The inside of my school is just decked out with Christmas lights and Christmas-y things and they've been playing Christmas jams everyday... And it has gotten me so excited for the holidays you don't even know!

Feeling extra synthy

My mum's dress |  DIY studded leather jacket | DIY collar | UNIF Hellraisers

My mom and I were cleaning out our closets to donate to charity and in the process I found this beautiful floral maxi dress! It was my mom's when she was still Vietnam and I love it, the dark florals, its length, everything about it! I thought it would look really edgy with a leather jacket and some bad ass shoes. I cinched the waist so it wouldn't look like I was drowning in the dress because that's the case with some maxi dresses, is that they don't emphasize your waist so you look encumbered with all this material *_*

I just found out about this band, Electric Guest, last weekend and I have been listening to their album "Mondo" nonstop! They're like if Foster the People and MGMT had a love child. All of their songs have such funky beats with cool vocals and synths. I am a sucker for some synth!!! I also always find myself getting out of my seat and dancing when I play their album  (^0^)┗(^0^)┓ (^0^)┛ I am so upset I didn't find out about them sooner! But it's never too late, right?

Stop shedding already



H&M sweater | H&M faux leather pants | F21 socks | JC Tardy Lo

I just wanted to say that this is my favorite sweater of all eternity and the fact that it's angora makes it that much better. I'm so obsessed with angora and the fact that it's almost the winter season feeds to my obsession! And no, not because LDR wore this in her "Blue Velvet" music video for H&M, but because it's so cozy and soft! Plus it reminds me of just chilling next to the fireside! Seeing it on LDR just made me want it more~ The downside of angora is that it constantly sheds... Therefore I looked up ways online to keep it from shedding and one person suggested that I put the sweater in a ziploc tight bag and chuck it in the freezer for a couple hours. As I was walking towards the freezer with the ziploc bag containing the sweater in my hand, I noticed my mom giving me the "judging you" look, but I was like "eh" because I get those often LOL So then I did what that lady told people on the interwebs to do and that sucker still sheds! Never listening to you again lady...
