Shopping: New Bag, Boots & Rings

I was feeling so sick yesterday it was like I was hit with a sudden flu. My body was soooo sore and my head was hurting so bad and I was feeling sooo sleepy and tired that I actually took a 2 hour nap on my bed. (｡´✚ฺω✚ฺ｀｡) I rarely ever take naps even when I am sick but yesterday I was just feeling really horrible. My body felt so weak that I could barely move! Maybe it's because I have been working 5 days a week and my body was just drained out. I'm working 5 days again this coming week (I'm only suppose to work 4 days) but it's been busy at work and I haven't been getting the rest I need. I wish I could go back to working 4 days again because it just feels nice to have a day off to relax and do nothing. ｍ（＿　＿；；ｍ

Anyway, since I wasn't feeling well this weekend I didn't have time to get much blogging work done as I have planned to do. So instead I compiled some photos of things I bought recently in the past month. 

I bought this new bag for work from Aldo Accessories because the current one I was using was getting old and worn out. Doesn't it look so classy, elegant, sophisticated and business-like? I got a lot of compliments from my co-workers at work asking me where I bought my bag. I really like how classic and stylish it looks and how it's big enough to carry all the things I need to bring to work. 

I have been really into rings lately that I bought some really cute and pretty ones to wear for the spring and summer. The last two that I got are actually those "knuckle rings" or midi rings that don't go all the way down to your fingers but instead they fit mid-way to where your knuckles are. I've been seeing them a lot on other blogs and on instagram that I wanted to get some for myself. Can't wait to wear them out when the weather gets warmer! ♥

I picked up this cute pink rose statement necklace when I had some credit value left when I went to exchange a skirt for a different size and bought this necklace for $5 only! =)

And then I bought these boots which I actually have an exact same one but in a different colour in this post here. I was actually shopping around for some "light coloured" boots to wear for the spring and these were for on sale for $15 only! OMG it was sooo cheap I couldn't resist not buying them, lol. =P

Lastly I bought a cute Totoro cushion just because he's soooo cute! There are two sides to him, one awake and one sleeping. ISN'T IT SO CUTE?! Now all I am missing is the middle blue totoro and the small white one and I will have a complete family. I think I'm going to buy the blue and white one when I go to Japan! 

Polkadots Bow Headband Outfit

Went out again for dinner with some friends last night. I really need to stop eating out so much. I've been eating out for the past 3 weeks now and yet I'm going to have dinner with friends again this Wednesday. I swear after my birthday celebration that is coming up soon, I'm going to ban myself from eating out for a month, lol. 

Outfit I wore to my dinner last night. I curled my hair with my new conair youcurl iron for the first time and quite happy with the results. It creates much more 3D dimensional bouncy curls that my other iron can't do. My curls lasted me all day long too! It's no wonder this curling iron won the #1 best selling styling device in Canada. It simply works like MAGIC and makes curling my hair ever so easy! ♥ And it only took me 20 minutes to curl and style my hair versus how it takes me 30 minutes with my other curling iron. Saves so much time and so much more convenient! =D

Wearing the gold rings that I got from Aldo Accessories back in March! Love these rings soooo much. ♥

We went to eat dessert at dessert kitchen (糖潮) I ordered a summer mango festival with mango ice cream. SOOOO YUMMY! I want to go back to eat more dessert. Ah, I can eat dessert all day! ♥ 

Went into Forever 21 to window shop while I was waiting for a friend to pick me up with her car at the mall. Ended up getting this cute mint top with laces. Such a cute top! I don't have anything in this colour or style so it was like instant buy to add to my wardrobe and also because it was the last small on the rack so I had to get it before it gets sold out! XD

Spring Shopping! (Aldo Accessories and H&M)

Did more spring shopping this week from Aldo Accessories and H&M. I think I'm almost done spring clothes shopping. I just have a few more key items to get and I'm all set for spring! =D

I got these really pretty mint green, gold and pearl rings from Aldo Accessories on Friday. This is actually my first time ever buying rings in my entire life. Anybody who knows me personally would know that I am hardly ever seen wearing any rings simply because I don't like the "feeling" of having rings on my fingers. It kind of gives my fingers this very itchy and tickling feeling and I don't know why. I'll probably never wear my wedding ring when I get married in the future but instead I'll wear it on a necklace. I'm sorry future husband, you'll have to deal with this weird allergy (can it be considered as an allergy since I kind of have allergic reactions to rings?! XD) that I have, lol. However, these rings didn't give me any uncomfortable feelings at all when I tried them on and I was just so in love with them that it felt almost like it was love at first sight! I also love that the mint green, gold and pearl is a perfect colour theme for spring. It's so refreshing and with a hint of the soft girly cute look. ^___~ I finally found out what my ring size is too, which is 7 so now I know for future reference when I buy rings! XD 

Got this light blue button up dress shirt from H&M last week. I love the fabric on this shirt. It's super soft and thin that it's great for layering in the spring and summer on cold days when it's a bit chilly. I especially like how it's got a bit of stripe details on the inside of the sleeves at the bottom cuffs when you fold them up and at the back of the shirt near the collar. Also, the "patch" detail on the elbow of the sleeves is a super cute special touch add-on! ♥

Because I love the light blue dress shirt so much I actually went back to buy a pink version at H&M on Friday! I don't think I have anything in this light of a pink so it's a great new colour to add to my wardrobe. =) 

I was also cleaning and reorganizing my closet on Friday night. I put away all my thick heavy winter clothes and start organizing all my spring clothes. It wasn't until I started going through my spring clothes that I have found so many clothes I bought before that I have forgotten about. I've been buying some much clothes lately that I haven't actually got the time to sit down and plan how I want to wear them. Things like what do I currently have in my closet that would match with this skirt, what item am I missing to match with this top, or how can I wear this top in ways to create 3 different outfits and make the best use of it? These are the kind of things I usually ponder about after I buy clothes home. I also always go by the rule of how can I match this top/skirt to create 3 different outfit looks whenever I go shopping for clothes. If I can't think of at least 2 other ways of wearing the top/skirt then I usually pass on getting the item. It really helps to save me money in the long run because I absolutely hate buying clothes that you can only wear once in one way and no other. I try to avoid making purchases on clothes like such unless I really like the top! It just really makes me feel like I wasted my money and not really getting for my money's worth. Always shop smart and save and not buying whatever appeals to the eye.  

Another big thing I want to take into consideration while shopping for spring/summer clothes this year is colour. I'm trying to buy clothes in colours that I currently don't have. Colours such as purple, mint green, red and yellow. I also want to consider trying new styles too and not buying too much of the same material or style/type of clothes. For example, I have 3 long tulle skirts for summer in almost the same colour. I think this summer I want to focus more on getting shorts in different colours with unique patterns and prints on them rather buying more skirts that all look the same. I need less of the "same" type of clothes in my closet and more variety. I just feel that I tend to get sick and tired of my clothes more easily when they're all looking somewhat the same. I need a change for once this year! I think I might need to write myself these friendly "shopping tips and reminders" on my iPhone notes just so I don't forget them when I go shopping. LOL. =P
