summer faves ☼

hello lovelies! i'm going to be sharing with you all about my updated beauty/fashion wish list for this post.

i've been watching a lot of fashion videos on youtube lately. and note that when i say fashion videos, i don't mean stuff like zoella or michelle phan because i find that those types of fashion videos are very.... umm.... i don't really know how to say it but it's sort of like you're just looking at things that they like and you're not venturing into your own style from watching other beauty gurus like them. i've been watching videos from fashion tv or vogue about models like lindsey wixson and alexa chung which i really just adore. so without further ado, let's start off with what's new in my beauty wish list. 

beauty wish list:

1. morange by m.a.c. 

this is an absolutely beautiful shade of orange by m.a.c. because it's so light and summery. it really gives a pop of colour to your face especially when you wear it with chocolatey brown eye shadow. i found out about this lipstick from watching the DSQUARED2 spring 2014 backstage video on youtube and i'm considering on recreating the look that they had on lindsey wixson for my school's prom this year. i can tell that it'll look stunning. i might substitute it for rendezvous by revlon because m.a.c. lipstick is quite pricey and the revlon one is quite reasonably priced and the quality is great too. 

what a babe!

2. m.a.c. pro sculpting cream in copper breach and richly honed

these are the same eyeshadows that lindsey is wearing and the same eyeshadows that they used for the DSQUARED2 spring 2014 fashion show. they mixed both these colours together for the eyes to create this beautiful chocolate look.

3. eyeko - me & my shadow (eyeshadow pencil)

eyeko has recently teamed up with alexa chung to create a whole line of beauty products. alexa uses this eyeshadow for her signature simple and clear look that i am deeply inspired by. 

4. eyeko - eye do (eyeliner) 

this liquid eyeliner is the key to alexa's famous cateye. i currently use another liquid eyeliner called in2it which is pretty good but a little light so i end up having to colour many layers for my cateye. this eyeliner by eyeko is extremely good quality and the ink is dark which means that you don't have to colour on so many layers. in case you're wondering why eyeko's products have such cute names, it's because when alexa herself got to name all of them when they teamed up with her. 

5. rimmel moisture renew lipstick - nude delight

a perfect nude shade of lipstick that unlike other lipsticks out there, keeps your lips moisturized. i'm not sure if they sell it in my country but if they don't i'll just have to buy another brand that has a similar colour because i honestly just need this lipstick. i mean c'mon. it's perfect! 

so that's all the beauty products that are currently on my wish list. i don't use foundation or concealer a lot because it clogs up your pores and it makes all my pimples come out the next morning. also they aren't good for your skin so i avoid using them as much as possible. anyway, moving onto my fashion wish list. 

fashion wish list:

1. alexander wang white manuel mary jane pump

alexander wang is a fantastic designer and this mary jane pump is just super cute yet sophisticated. they have them in white, pink, and black. they cost a fortune though.... however, i'm planning on getting this look alike pair from charles & keith that i saw the other day

2. lia peekaboo blue romper

this romper is the same as the one on the left in the picture above. you can buy it from hello parry. it's still quite pricey but cheaper than buying from the actual alexander wang website. tip: use the discount code "freeshipping"

3. diamond print nude tights

super cute tights from romwe that'll go well with a my leather skater skirt and white cropped blouse from mango. 

4. verge girl blue knit crop sweater

i'm a huge fan of shelby hamilton and i saw her wearing this gorgeous knit from verge girl and i fell in love. i love shelby's style and i would definitely style this sweater just like how she did with a simple denim skirt and white birkenstock sandals. 

well that's about all for now. my mom just gave me a bunch of her old clothes today so maybe i'll make a haul post soon. till then, stay fab xx

love love love

most of my blog posts lately have been about me ranting about certain things so i'm trying to make this one full of positive vibes for a change（＾_＾）

things have been pretty good for me lately. on monday i finally received my dress that i ordered online from romwe  (which is my new favourite online store) and it looked as great as it did on the website. the quality is fantastic and it comes with its own zip lock bag for if you're travelling and you can exchange or refund it if the product has any issues eg. size being too small/large or too long/short. it's just this absolutely adorable light powder blue dress with eye prints and a really cute little turtleneck. if you've read one of my previous posts, i mentioned that this dress was in my fashion bucketlist and i'm so happy to finally cross it out. i wore it yesterday when i was out with my parents and styled it with my oversized denim jacket which was tied around my waist and my white chunky high heeled sneakers that i got from japan during my holiday there. i used my studded faux leather backpack but you can't really see it so i'll just show it some other time. 

extremely adorable dress from romwe *squeelsssss*

they're kinda like creepers but at the same time not?????
i don'treally know what they're called. 

i thought that i looked hella cute and i even did a little make up but just a simple cat eye look. nothing much. 

cat eye alexa chung style ( ^ _ ^ )

i don't like the lines to be too thick because it makes my eyes look smaller and they're already as small as it is on their own. do excuse my eyebags. insomniac problems one-o-one. 

so while i was out with my parents, i had lunch at this place called hakata ippudo which is some japanese restaurant that's pretty famous for their pork ramen. i ordered the miso pork ramen and oh my god it was so good! definitely food for the soul and perfect for a cold rainy day 

（＾ν＾）

their salmon avocado bacon rolls were good too and not to mention, good presentation as well as taste.

and after that i had green tea ice cream which was wonderful. 

i've done a little redecorating for my room too and i really like how it looks. it's not much. just one corner of my room but i think it looks great. i'll planning on doing more in the future. 

the black picture is a birthday present from tracia that she drew for me. do ignore the weird patch of white light it's just my camera's stupid flash. 

this week has been very good to me and a lot has happened. i also visited an art gallery the day before and saw many beautiful paintings done by talented locals. this one was my favorite because of the beautiful meaning behind it. 

the rest of the paintings are on my instagram account (link at the bottom of the page). okay, i'm gonna sign off now because i wouldn't wanna bore you with my life so till then xx
