| | Comments (0)

Seriously, every month deserves this kind of post :) When Jacky came to visit me earlier this month, he brought a lottttt of stuff for me, including....The latest issues of Cosmo!!! Yayyyyy :) 
Here's one of the latest Lomo cameras I've always wanted to buy but never did.. The Sprocket Rocket!! Jacky helped me get it in Hong Kong 'cause it's cheaper there :) 695 HKD versus 695 RMB in China.... Yeah right.

Jacky knows I love Playboy, so he got me a pair of earrings from HK :)

Check out all the food he got for meeee!!!!! Kraft Dinner, Ruffles chips, Neocitran, and two packs of my favourite Korean ramen noodles.

Now, onto the things I bought this month :D Check out my latest Betsey Johnson ring :)

Cute platform sneakers I bought for 480RMB... Probably should've bargained harder, but they're so cute!

Cute huh?

Cute purse I got on Taobao for less than 70RMB... Quality is great too!

Love it!

Cute robot watch :D

Stickers for the new scrapbook I'm making :)

I'm currently obsessed with animal prints right now, so I thought this was cute.

A day of shopping :)

My first time buying a romper.. Perfect for the summer.

I got another pair of Juicy flip flops.. Ahhh, now I have one of every colour!

Another cute dress.

Crop top.

I can never get enough of over the shoulder tops :D

This past month, I bought 3 pairs of harem pants - they're so comfy!

Cute camera bag I got on Taobao for only... wait for it... 18RMB!

OMG, my favourite purchase of the month. I've been wanting to get the Instax 210 camera for the longest time, but it's so expensive in Canada. I think Urban Outfitters sells it for $150 or something.. I got it for $80 on Taobao.

Anna got one too.. We were soo excited when it arrived!

So happy!!!!


Jacky & I with the camera and our first shot :D

Look at my shot from the Instax 7S and compare it with the new one from the Instax 210... It's so much wider!


Anyway, I've got about two weeks left here in Changchun before heading back to Hong Kong. I'm super excited, especially since Anna and Ahmed will be swinging by for a couple of days too :) Then after that.. My summer adventure with Jacky begins!!

    Life of a degenerate (it's pretty good)

Eating, sleeping and shopping. That has been my routine for the past three or so weeks. It wouldn't be so sad if it weren't for the fact that in actuality, it's eating (take out), sleeping (in), and shopping (online). I've essentially been a degenerate for the past month, but all that is about to change.

At first, it was all about saving money. Last month, I decided on a whim that I'd fly Jacky over to visit me in May. That meant I'd have to save money these couple of months so that when he arrives, we'll have money to travel and shop.

That was the case, until I discovered.... Taobao. It's like, the best thing that's happened to me in a long while. It's basically a huge online market similar to eBay, except it's not limited to an auction. Anything you want to buy, you can find it on Taobao. Variety is great, and shipping is extremely cheap... Usually just 10-15 RMB ($1-2 CAD) per item, and it arrives within a week. Last night, I bought 7 tops and a bag for about $40 CAD. Life is good!! Haha.. With that said, time to show off my April haul :) Woohoo!

Gems and charms for decorating cell phones!!! So cute and cheap. I got these on campus, before I discovered that there's a far better selection on Taobao...
Nail art supplies from Taobao~

A DIY cell phone cover I made :)

Side-by-side comparison with my (store-bought) iPod touch... Crazy huh?

Cute earrings I got on campus :)

O M G. My favourite shoes everrrrrrr. I owned two pairs previously, but one of them got destroyed and the other I have yet to find... it got lost in the Ho sisters' 150+ shoe collection (not joking). So, I was more than ecstatic to find them online. I got three pairs!!! I might get a fourth pair, we'll see.  
SUPER cute, super comfortable.

Lalalala~ Best investment ever.

Super cute underwater film camera I found at my favourite shop.. ONLY to find out that you can buy it on Taobao for 16 RMB ($3 CAD) -_-

OH YEAH, I ordered a bikini from Victoria's Secret! It was supposed to arrive within 21 days, but being the super impatient and anal person I am when it comes to shopping, I called at 22 days. Since no tracking information was provided, they sent me a new one. How awesome would it be if I ended up getting two bikinis? ^^ Speaking of clothing...

Lace top from campus, 25 RMB

Ahhh, I also love buying random cute things.. A pair of children's (or hand/eye coordinately-challenged) chopsticks for me and the boyfriend.

Remember the Dior travel set I got from a few posts back? The same student got me a stash of samples.. So sweet :)

I love buying nail polish! My collection of crackle polish..

Other colors I got recently :)

I haven't done nail art in forever, so I'm a bit rusty. TV + nails = best combo

Purple/green on me~

My nails yesterday.

Like my new Betsey Johnson ring?


Proof of my laziness... This is all the takeout I had in a 1.5 week period. Michel asked me, "Do you feel ashamed?" .....Thanks, NOW I do! I'm definitely not a skinny girl, but not fat either. I think for the amount of junk I eat, I'm in pretty good shape.. ;)

Caramel macchiato... been obsessed with it recently.

...and also jasmine green tea! :)

Ughhh it's been so cold lately, hence why I'm still bundled up.. I'm dying to go out in shorts and a tank top!

Hopefully by my next post, the weather will be better :) Jacky will be here May 13th. Can't wait!
