For the love of...W♥C!
OOTD: May 21,2011
Bonjour mes amis~!
Last week I made yet a purchase from Tori! (^-^)~~~ KEKEKE. My most recent purchase was the W♥C distressed shorts. They are a tad loose on me, but I LOVE THEM. I totally wanted to wear them to work today, but they are just about borderline scandalous.(T^T) OH OH OH, Tori also surprised me with the cutest mirror! *^*~~~~! BLAHHHHH, I recently lost my knock-off Anna Sui mirror, so receiving this was just perfect. I may be changing my interest in clothing, but cute little traveling trinkets never fail to make their way into my make-up bag. ♥
... I have been meaning to blog about my last W♥C purchase from Tori, but I was focused on my yaplog at the time, which BTW will probably be forever on hiatus now. Anyways, I am definitely lucky to have the "sex&w♥c" cardigan! It totally suits me. At first you don't notice the obscenity of the words, but when you look hard enough, the text is shockingly vulgar. IMO, that's kind of like my personality. I'm extremely meek & shy at a glance, but when you get to know me I'm surprisingly obnoxious. LOL~~~ Having pieces that embody your entity brings more value to your closet, don't you think?
^^ A GO GO GO~!
Anyways, head on over to:

It's going to be, BOKEH.
So, recently my family became the proud owners of a Canon 600D/Rebel T3i!Now, I'm not claiming to be a professional at photography... In fact, I am still learning how to use the camera! T^T~~~ But those photos are just a little look into the type of photos I'm interested in shooting outside of fashion. After watching DigitalRev videos, I was really inspired to make my own bokeh shapes. In this photo set, I used a heart shape, though, they look more like a messed up pacman V_V... Hopefully, when I have more understanding of how bokeh works, I'll place a DIY video and tutorial here! ^^ Until then...
See you later~~~

DIY Fringed Crop Top
I'm so horrible at updating this blog. (T __ T) But, I have come back with a video! I have always been into boat neck tops, but recently I became fond of some things I would never pick up before... crop tops & fringe! I used to think fringe was too gaudy and flapper/hippie-like, but somehow I've become open to such a thing. Then there's the ordeal of crop tops... You can be frowned upon for wearing one, but I believe as long as you're carrying a modest attitude, there's no reason for those disapproving eyes. LOL, I get such looks quite frequently, but I know who I am and what values I hold for myself. (^ o ^)~~~ So here's my video!
[*WARNING: You may want to lower/mute your audio. KPOP plays throughout the video ^^;;]
[Sorry, for the LQ of the video. My original video was 1.3Gig, but that would have taken 8 hours to upload to youtube! (O _ o) Unfortunately, I had to compress it to about 70MB for a reasonable upload time.]
Instructions:
1) Gather materials: 1 oversized tee that you would like to reform & a pair of fabric scissors. (Regular scissors will work too, but it'll be a little more difficult to cut with since the blades may have been dulled.)
2) If you would like to a how to on creating the boat neck effect, visit Tori's blog! ^^<33 Otherwise, fold your tee in half and sure the edges are neatly aligned. I already have a particular length that I like in crop tops, so I used my old kitson tee as a reference. But to give you an idea as to how much I cut off, it was about 5" and at this length it is an inch past my navel.
3) Once you reached your desired length, cut straight across the bottom of the shirt.
4) Unfold your shirt and lay it flat, this is where we will begin to make our fringes! Make your first cut at the side of the tee. Then work your way in. You will want the length of the fringe to be about 3" or more and the width of the fringe to be 1/2 an inch or less. For this first attempt I decided with 3"-high and 1/2"-wide
5) When you have completed the cutting around the shirt, pull at the fringes. Add some strength, as you will want these fringes to be skinnier rather than wide! Do this for each fringe.
6. Give the tee a little shake and you're done!
This was really fun and easy to make! Early in the video you see an already cut out top, I learned how to make this via TORI~! I suggest leaving more shoulder space though! I don't know if it's just me, but I can't keep my top up so I'll usually have a long racer back tank underneath. (v_v);;; LOL, earlier I showed the finished product to my mom and she said "That's so 80's! Are you going to do the sleeves as well?" AH, as much as I like fringe now, I think that doing the sleeves would be too much. What do you guys think? I'll be going out today and I predict that I will be buying some oversized tees to use my new DIY skills on! x)T
[If any of you have questions feel free to ask & I'll do my best to answer them!]
See you later~!

A new vibe~?
As of late, I have really been into creating looks that posses a strong image. I have not touched black articles of clothing since my freshman year in high school. I was told that I needed to broaden my closet and rocking black all the time was not really appealing. Hearing that hurt my pride back then... PFT! But here I am doing the black thing again and rocking it better than ever!
LOL, that photo btw is the very first middle part pic of myself I have posted online.... ughhh it's just not me :[

Can you keep a secret?
WOOOOOOOOO~~ "Secret Garden" galore! LOL, not really, but these products are enough to last me through winter and most of the summer. I have always been a fan of Love Spell, but the last time that I used this product was when in my freshman year of high school. I stopped using it because 1) The scent correlated with bad memories 2) I felt that it was too mature for me & 3) I was just a little 14 year old girl with pocket money that I would rather spend on my fads of the time. I believe I saved money to look like a snotty wannabe jrocker. LMFAO.
WOOOO~~~ This was on my Christmas list and I believe my bestie is the only one who actually gave me products that were actually on the list. ^-^ I love her xD Oh, and btw if you ever plan on giving someone a gift set from Victoria's Secret "Secret Garden" line, you should get them that particular box. There's more bang for your buck in that purchase. This set comes with three bottles of 8.4oz products for $25.00 whereas the purse set comes with one 8.4oz bottle of body mist and two 4.2oz bottles of lotion and body wash for $24.00. For a dollar more you would be getting way more product than what the purse set would be giving you.
Kekeke, here are all of my Love Spell products. It doesn't seem like much in this photo, but I'm not the type that needs to use lotion for more than once a day. Oh, and I just realized that I stopped using "Secret Garden" because I thought their hand cream was crap and didn't moisturize my skin at all. I noticed that it works better if I had already applied a regular lotion beforehand. I'm glad I've become more trustworthy of the hand cream. I have to thank my brother for buying me three bottles of it! :) I have been complimented recently about the "softness" of my hands. hahaha *note to self* use product often.
This isn't a part of the "Secret Garden" line, but I absolutely love "Dream Angels Wish". My boyfriend bought me a little gift set of this particular scent a couple years ago and I loved it! I bought this during this years semi-annual sale! This is the 2.5oz bottle and is usually $49.00, I bought it for $12.25! :D!!! Wahoo! It'll be a while before I use this one though :O I still have the .25oz perfume that my boyfriend bought for me. I can usually get away with one little spritz and the scent will last me the whole day.
Over the past couple of years I have been unable to find the right scent for me. I've grown out of my vanilla and cupcake scented days and have been searching for something more elegant and mature. Victoria's Secret products do the job. I believe it was Jenny who said something along the lines of wanting to be "a nice smelling woman", I totally get what she means! I don't know what it is about "Victoria's Secret" scents that make me feel so good about myself when I am immersed in these garden scents, but its given me confidence! Corny right? But it's true.
(btw, sorry for the inconsistent editing and quality of photos I was playing around with photoscape and I've already held off on this entry for so long I was too lazy to find the original photos :'D)
*EDIT* During my personal run for "Secret Garden" products I bought 10 for $40($4 per product) :O Not too bad since the regular deal is 8 for A$35.00($4.38 per product)?
See you all later~!

As much as I enjoy blogger..
As much as I enjoy the easiness of blogger, I am always returning to yaplog. This blog was originally meant to portray my personal fashion interests, but I keep going back to my old blog. It's kind of hard to quit since I've had it for almost 4 years now!
So, maybe I'll try to find a way to clarify which yaplog entries may be of interest to some of you guys. My personal daily life is not very interesting so I would like to avoid disappointing any of you with daily life entries. If nothing works out, I'll be staying on blogger!

I'm ditching the cutesy look!
Yep, I am finally "graduating" from the cutesy look. Just kidding~ I have been into a Kpop idol lately. She is a part of the group the "Brown Eyed Girls." Her name is Ga-in. What I love the most about her is that she can wear something provocative without looking like a 4th Street hooker. Haha, there's a 4th Street here in Vegas so don't be offended if you have an upscale one in your state. Another thing that I love about her style, is that she owns what she wears. OK DUH, of course she owns her clothing! I just mean that she wont dress according to the trends. She dresses according to her personality.
Through watching her in Korean variety shows such as "We Got Married" she always displays a fierce attitude. Although she is petite, her personality is strong, her sense of style seems to match with it too. In the photo above, she is wearing a top with an embellished shoulder. I always thought I could not pull such a thing off, due to my short stature. Ga-in has given me the courage to step out of my stylistic comfort zone and try to pick up pieces I would have never otherwise wear before.
I also have a thing for her choice in shoes. I always limited myself to flats and sandals, but Ga-in somehow made boots look so "buy worthy"! LOL, you guys may have noticed just how fangirly I am when it comes to Ga-in. I basically worship her right now. xD
She's also quite famous for her make-up. More specifically, her eyeliner. Ga-in is just one of those few female idols that has not had any surgery done to her eyelids. She has considered it in the past but has become such a powerful source of inspiration to the monolid community, she has decided she is just fine with her monolids.
Here are a couple more photos of her eyemake. These are just more elaborate forms of what she does with her eyes. Usually she'll keep it a subtle smokey eye or just wing out her eyeliner.
kekeke :) I know I've promised to do some entries before, and I may or may not get to them. Finals are on Monday, but I will be totally free after they're over! See you later~
(BTW: I actually have been blogging on another website as of late. It's more of a personal rambling blog than a style blog. You're all welcome to visit if you want xD http://yaplog.jp/lovelyaikochan/)

The past week has been great!
These past two weeks have been great. Last weekend I went to a JYJ concert. They were just too amazing and I cannot believe I saw them live! I'll do an entry about the experience soon. (^-^) I have made a few shopping trips this weekend.( Charlotte Russe has recently become a staple brand in my closet!) Also, as you might have noticed in the photo, I am sporting Minnie Muse! I am very pleased with the line ^^ Will post pics eventually~
Also.. *drum roll please!* I HAVE MY FIRST JOB! I am just too excited! It's only a seasonal gig, but at least I will gain some experience. (^~^) I won't be at the registers just yet but would any of you have tips with working in the fitting room?
Thanks for visiting, see you soon~!

Leopard mode ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)
Hello Everyone~
It'll be a short entry because I am just exhausted from the weekend!
Here's a photo from a coupe weeks ago.
The weather in Vegas is finally going down and I
was able to dress up in a coordi that I have been
dying to try out! o(^^o)(o^^)o
Top: F21
Coat: F21
Leggings: GlamSquad
Coat: F21
Leggings: GlamSquad
Boots: H&M
LOL, I'm aware of the fact that "GlamSquad" sounds really
goofy, but those leggings are from a boutique here in Vegas.(*≧▽≦)
I never would have stepped into a place like that, but my bestie gave
those leggings to me last Christmas and now I'm not so hesitant to pop in there.
Here are my current nails.
Yes, those are my real nails ._. IDK why so many
people ask if my nails are fake and they think
I'm lying whenever I give them an answer..
Excuse my cuticles -_-...
I forgot to push them back before I painted my nails.
(I don't like to clip my cuticles :|)
I would have done something more intricate on the pink nails,
but I really have no time or any more patience to get back
into nail art... ＼（－－）／ マイッタ
I'll try to find some photos of my nail art days and post them here.
Well, I'll see you guys later~!

Harvest Festival & Bargains!
Last Saturday my brother had a volunteering activity to do at our church in N. Las Vegas and I unfortunately had two hours to kill! I say unfortunately because the church is within two miles of a mall. d(>w<)b GYAH~ I originally planned to take a nap in the parking lot and enjoy the festival with my dear brother later but my body would not allow the car to maneuver into a parking space! So, off to the mall it was! ʘ‿ʘ The pet shop was my first stop, and I was in there for a good 20 minutes before I decided I had enough of staring into those yearning eyes of the 30 or so dogs in the kennels. ಥ_ಥ GAH~
Moving on to the real purpose of this entry~
I finally found the union jack tank that I have been searching for!
I also came across a light cardigan for $6.80!
I actually have a blue one in the same exact style,
but it was $5.80 over the summer.

PFT! Another set of similar cardis were on the same rack as
the one I bought but they were $15.80! WTF?!
The only real difference was that the expensive one was
The only real difference was that the expensive one was
slightly darker than the one I have on in the photo.
You can't outsmart me F21!
(￣▽￣)ノ＿彡☆バンバン！
(￣▽￣)ノ＿彡☆バンバン！
(As I find more opportunities to do more style entries you
guys will see that I am very price conscious.)
WOO, I made this coordi collage in July and have obtained
two of the seven things that I wanted!
The boots were not the ones I found at Urban Outfitters though.
Those were over $100 (u_u)
Fortunately, I found a pair at H&M for about $35.00!
They are comfortable and very durable!
(IMO they don't look too faux & the only downside is they get a bit squeaky)
I don't mind if I can't obtain the shorts or the sweater,
I am way more interested in sheer tights and studded accessories!
I actually left the mall with nothing in hand and made my way back to the fesitival~
I decided that I would only get those two pieces
if my brother wanted to go to the mall. xD
(LOL, we went back and I bought them.*I hid them in a rack*)

(LOL, we went back and I bought them.
Haha, anyways I walked around the festival for a little while and sat down in a shaded area by the "food court." The weather was in the low 70s and the atmosphere of the festival was quite peaceful. I usually hate the sound of children playing around but the two boys at the middle picnic table were adorable! The kid in the plaid made me a bit ashamed to be Asian. He literally bullied that poor boy in the purple the entire time I was there! Mr. Plaid dragged him around by the collar saying "Asians are better than caucasians! I'm Asian, so that means I'm superior to you!" OMG, this "Asian=superior race" thing went on forever. It was like a little Asian Hitler in the making! GAH, I felt so sorry for Mr. Purple but I didn't think it was appropriate for me to parent another persons child..
Oh, how I wanted to go onto that!
I was afraid the volunteers would tell me I'm too fat to be going on it,
so I just sat and admired it for the longest time. ㅠ.ㅠ
NOM NOM, Halloween Cupcakes that bro bought for me!
I got my bestie a cupcake in the cutest Halloween packaging,
but unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her -_-
WHOA~ It's 12:04AM?! I have school in a few hours!
Time to sleep~
See you all later!

1st and only midterm this semester.
Sorry for looking so haggard... It was pretty late when I took this..
I sped through that test like it was nothing. Though I know that I answered a few of them incorrectly because I spent more time trying to complete the question banks rather than pause to understand the material. I was laughing because all of the people who took the time to write everything they could onto their index cards
Mom bought be a toffee mocha frape before we dropped her off for work!
(My dad's car just came back from the shop, he didn't want to use it yet
so mom and I were forced to share my car today :p)

These are just some random sky photos that I snapped while we were on the freeway :)
The upper levels in the I building have beautiful views of the Strip!
I couldn't help myself and took a picture from one of the hallway windows. ^^

OH! After class while I was walking to my car, rain just poured all over me! I was wearing all white ;( I even had my lolita-esque umbrella sitting in my car! It was so nice before I went to class and I figured it wouldn't rain so I left it behind. T-T HEH, fortunately I got a text message from my friend who needed the service of my umbrella and alas I was able to use it...for the first time. LOL x) Vegas weather does not call for the use of an umbrella most of the time. Even if the conniving little weather woman says so! So getting to use my umbrella for the first time here was pretty exciting. I hope everyone has a safe and entertaining weekend!
See you later~!

♥USAMIMI ♥
It has been about a week or so since I had the urge to make my own usamimi. In the beginning I really thought that such a piece was just an overrated fad, but as time passed, I grew to love this style of headband! I am currently in the process of finishing my usamimi~! I am so psyched and cannot wait until I put the wires in tomorrow.
I already have the "ears" sewn, but I didn't feel like taking a picture of that portion of the process. My usamimi is currently right side out and not ironed. She is waiting very eagerly to be wired and sewn shut! kekeke. I know the fabric is ugly. I figured, if I was going to mess up, I would want it to be on some scrap fabric that I wouldn't regret using. I guess the fabric would be more appealing if it weren't that odd blue color. I love the pattern and it would definitely be better in a black or brown(lol, faux Fendi fabric!) It's late at night and I should get some sleep! See you all soon~ :D
At this point I had already(obviously) cut out my
two pieces of fabric and placed lines to sew on.
I had to use a pen because all of my fabric pencils are white. -_-...
(omg... I do not like the way I formatted my url in this photo! T-TSo ugly..)
(omg... I do not like the way I formatted my url in this photo! T-TSo ugly..)
This photo represents the one side that I had finished!
I nearly forgot how to use my dang sewing machine!
I thought the bobbin thread & top thread were suppose to create a not when it came up...
Okay long story, short, the threads are suppose to be separated &
clearly I am no expert with sewing terms. T-T...
