So my latest gmarket package came a few days ago. It was quite a small order since I just wanted to used up the cash balance.




Dr Jart BB Cream + freebies~




The package should be sealed with a sticker!




Comparison of the old and new packaging (old on left). The old one was bought over a year ago, so I can say that this lasts quite a while (if you don't constantly use make up, rather only when you need it).




Packaging info.




Cute flats <3 I bought it in size 245 and it fits perfectly. (I usually wear size 7 or sometimes a 6.5 in Australian women's sizing.). Last time I bought a pair of heels on gmarket in size 235 which fit, but were too tight. Seller is BOLL. Check out Poya's gmarket haul over here in which she bought several pairs of cute shoes, including this one!




And finally: bro's shirt cuffs




But~ since we're on the topic of gmarket, I'm going to go ahead and post some pics of the Special Hello Kitty version of the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s that my dear friends bought for my bday. I had linked them this item from gmarket, but little did I know that they would actually get it for me Q3Q!!

Absence and lack of blog posts, I know >3<



The holidays have flown by and it is now already the start of the new uni semester! I'm trying to be a good student this time. Starting to study a bit (hopefully more) and preparing for tutes! Let's hope this habit will stick!



Anyhow, big thanks to gmarket for selecting me as one of their top bloggers for February!







I've made a small order using the gift certificate they sent me + what was left in my cash balance from previous orders. I got Dr. Jart BB Cream (Silver Label), a pair of flats (I want to get more, they're too cute!) and my brother ordered a pair of cuffs for his shirt.

I drew something up on Photoshop and uploaded it as my new banner~ Can you guess who that is? It's meant to be Red Riding Hood, but it probably doesn't hold too much of a resemblance doesn't it XD

It's finalised! We've booked the plane and hotel! I'll be going to the Gold Coast in Mid Febuary - a quick little get away before the uni semester starts!

It looks like I did another disappearing act! I hope everyone had a great christmas feasting with their families!

I changed the layout again because the old one was really buggy. This new layout by bituwin is classic and cute. I changed the banner though, to a design by Shinzi Katoh. I am planning to change it soon because I know I'm probably not allowed to use it due to copyright or something like that >< I find Katoh really inspirational as he draws on simple and childish themes which appeal to us because of the nostalgic feeling it creates. The characters he uses in his designs remind us of our childhood and add a cute yet sophisticated flavour to simple products used in the household. Those Japanese designers for you! They're just one of a kind!

I want to design a new banner soon, inspired by Shinzi Katoh and the theme of fairy tales, while adding a cute and classic and vintage touch to it to project the image I have in mind for my blog site.

Blog related thoughts aside, I had a mini BBQ (not really a BBQ, but a small gathering in the spirits of that) on Christmas day in the evening and then went to my relatives the next evening for a family BBQ.

The day after that I went to the boxing day sales at Parra, to which I was a little disappointed. I could not find the tunic I wanted from City Beach, but I bought a cute lace skirt instead. I might buy the shirt I want online, if I get the money. Found an amazingly adorable and vintage-esque rusted "gold" necklace with an oversized key and a pink rose. I also grabbed a wallet for my mum at Strandbags and a few other things, which I may post later if I can gather the strength to!

Today, I headed to Liverpool to grab the nail polish I wanted from Sportsgirl. The previous day, I bought the wrong nail polish at the Parra Sportsgirl, mistaking the "Jelly shade" "Bikini Babe" for the cute Lilac colour named "Lace" that I had tried on my nails. Very disappointed that Lace was not discounted to the $3.64 that I had bought the jelly/clear for, instead it was full priced at $7.95. I bought it anyway. I couldn't resist, it was an insanely cute pastel colour! I am also looking to add a mint green and a baby blue to my small, almost non existent nail polish collection.

My bro and I also put an order in for Gmarket, it's been almost a year! I bought two bags, heels, a polaroid album and pens while my brother bought two shirts. Will blog it when the package arrives.

I also ordered City of Flowers from the Stravaganza series by Mary Hoffman from the book depository a week ago. Gotta love the low prices and free international shipping the site offers! I started the series in high school and I've been waiting years to read the third book! I am also hoping to get Blossoms and Shadows by Lian Hearn. I'm still waiting for it to go on sale in the book stores, and if not, I'll grab it online.

I am so broke now OTL
