Summer Dress (etc) Summary

This is basically bad picspam of my dresses from MySpace angles because I don't have a photographer. It\s a filler guys, no nails today - sorry <3.

Sleeveless dress from a sample sale. Brand: Totem
Jacket from Suzy Shier a long time ago.

Wal-Mart dress from last year. Brand: By George

A shirt from Stitches. Brand: Street Wear Society
Shorts from Ardene from 3+ years ago. Brand: Ardene

Bathing suit! No idea what brand, from Sears clearance ;)

Kismet from Bootlegger! You can't see it, but the sides are longer and it's shorter in the middle. Love it =)

A colder day (shirt from Istanbul, Turkey). Hat from Icing by Claire's

So beautiful it deserves another shot

Bluenotes!! =D Looked so ugly on the rack, but excellent on mine xD

I have a couple fancier ones I didn't get to wear... Oh well! There's always next year =)

Just some scenery from Roe Lake for you

Roe Lake is a little ways from 100 Mile House in BC, where Branden's grandparents have a plot of land. They have a trailer parked there and use it as their summer home. The area is beautiful.

That's all.  Hope you liked =)

The birthday haul!

I'm tired of waiting for mail and so are you. Here's the post that was supposed to be put up last week~

I walked around all week collecting various presents from corporations. I also got a couple nice things from awesome people, the nicest one being a weekend away with Branden at the Hampton Inn and Suites.

Came with a huuuuge fluffy cloud bed

The bed was very comfortable, in fact, the whole room was. We were on the ground floor so we had to keep our curtains pulled closed unfortunately but that was the only thing really. I forgot to take pictures of the breakfast that was included, but they had a Belgian waffle maker and we shared one because it was huuuuuuge. We had time to swim in the pool a bit too, before heading back ^^

China Glaze Smoke and Ashes

 Ulta was just across the street so of course I dropped in. I got a new quick dry topcoat (Ulta X-dry) and the CG on clearance. Lucky me!

We also stopped in Ross and I'm so glad I did, because I found a pair of teal Converse for $25. I'm never buying them full price again =D (or high tops apparently =P)

Teal converse! The colour didn't catch well, it's much brighter and bluish.

When I got back home, the hunt began~!

I went into Sephora on Tuesday

 I picked up my free lip balm beauty insider birthday gift! These are really nice, and I'll probably buy them full size when they run out. The best part is I've never actually spent any money in Sephora haha!

I hate flipflops

But I know I need something for the beach, where I plan to be A LOT this summer and these were quite nice and had a back-strap. I only wanted the blue ones but it was either one for $13 or 2 for $10. New shoes for mee =D (These are also coming up in my next nail post - can you guess why?)

The Body Shop Spiced Vanilla Body Butter

 I was passing by the Body Shop and apparently they've found a bunch of old Christmas stock that they've put up for really cheap. This full size body butter was $5! Holy crap! And it smells so good. I also managed to get my free birthday love your body card so next time I want anything from there (probably for Christmas!) I'll have a discount. Whoo!

On that same trip, I went into the new Dollar Store opened in the local mall and found sunglasses! I'm not gonna spend $250+ on prescription ones so I figured why not.

They were $1! How could I go wrong?

Ignoring the gratuitous boob shot, they (the glasses!!) look pretty good eh? =D

I also stopped by Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in the other mall and picked up my free birthday chocolate bar.

These are sooo good, perfect for those horrible down days =)

My July Bombshell box from Julep (remember, sign up for your first 1 cent box with discount code PENNY at checkout!) was sitting on my counter when I got home. EVERYTHING IS SO SPARKLY.

Wrapped up pretty with a triplicate of Fireballs!

 Hurrah American candy! Too bad I don't like spicy =P Who wants one?

There will be swatches soon enough, don't even worry about it.

My add-ons (Mila and America the Beautiful) still haven't arrived. I was hoping they would so I could post this with them but oh well.

I'm also waiting on is my single $20 *cringe* Rainbow Honey.

20% Cooler

Since then, Rainbow Honey gained a 5000 strong following on Facebook and so offered a coupon code for free domestic shipping or half price international shipping SO I ordered the 8 minis. I'mma have lots of Rainbow Honey!! =D

Last but not least, AquaDaisy Me Too (a Lynderrella Connect The Dots dupe!)

AquaDaisy Me Too

Hopefully these live up to that awful price tag. You'll be sure I'll be trying them soon!

LASTER BUT NOT LEASTEST, Owl City is coming to the Commodore Ballroom and I have tickets! (for September lols). An excellent use of my birthday moneys no? ^^

Friday was very eventful.

So! Friday was one of the few days of sun here, and I was determined to wear a dress.

The original.

When I got it it smooshed my boobs down and chafed under the arms (who designed this thing?) so I cut the straps off the back and tied them together for a halter dress =)

I'm not as wide as I look.

Notice the ankle wrap? Explained later. It's also the reason I didn't get any make up today ==

Here's a better picture.

Aaaaannnddd nails!

I decided to do that vintage rose thing over Sally Hansen Blue Me Away!

Sally Hansen Blue Me Away + Essence Passion for Fashion + Ulta Snow White + Sally Hansen Ivy League all with dotting tools

It wasn't quite right to go with the dress sooo...

Sharpie bows in the morning!

 Muuuuuch easier than the striper brush, even with my off hand.

In the sun~

And then I mattified it.

This was the finishing touch

Ugh, I love it so much.

I'm wearing this dress for as many days as this stays on my nails.

In natural light

I just could not get enough.

With one of my Turkey bracelets, which also matched this dress perfectly!

Lacy trim~

I'm just dying of happiness.

The hairpiece.

So my friend has this eight year old sister, the youngest of like 9, and I gave him one of the bracelets from Turkey for her (we've never met). In return, she made me this dragonfly! OHEMGEE it is so cute. First thing I did was put my bobby pin through it and put it in my hair. >___< LOOKIT HOW AWESOME IT IS.



At this point all of you who don't care about my life can stop reading. =) I won't hold it against you.

I had one class Friday, and I missed it, instead spending it + 2.5 other hours getting six stitches on my heel because a door hit me on the way out. There was SO much blood. I totally missed my class, then when I finally got out of the doctor's, it started bleeding again and I had to go back to get it cleaned up again. SIGH.

That's real blood.

So my first stitches (except for wisdom teeth) were because of a fucking door. Also I have fabulous friends and the doctor thought we were hilarious. Now I'm limping and have to go back next week to get them out.

On the plus side, my stitches are blue. They match my dress. Which I can't wear anymore because my matching shoes have a back. I'm stuck in flipflops (which I don't own) all week and it's raining. Hurraaaaayyyy..... ==

GlamorousUK Giveaway!

Hi! I got a comment about a contest the other day from www.devorelebeaumonstre.com and went to check out GlamorousUK. Holy crap, cute dresses! And not gonna break the bank either! (Unless you have no money like me...). On top of that, SHIPPING. How is it that shipping from the UK is like $6 and shipping from the US is $20 - $40. Baffling.

Check it out!

Here's my picks:

Sophia Cream Bird Print

Onion Print Sheer Asymmetric

Mint Green Lace Detail

That last one looks light blue to me, but I'll take mint green too. I think the onion dress is my favourite, especially because my boyfriend loves onions xD

I am definitely just putting off studying now...

... even though there's absolutely nothing to write and my lunch looks atrocious (and going right into SFU's new compost bins) and I made and finished a mocha and I have two midterms next week and three weeks worth of lecture to catch up with for both of them....

There's not much to talk about. I'm still waiting back from my aunt to tell me if I can mail Amazon.com purchases to her so she can pass them on to me in the far off land of Canadia, because who ships to the Great White Vancouver North? Not Americans! Winter folk don't need nail plates, it'll just chip when they're unhitching the sled dogs!

Bah. Anyway. I want the Red Angel Image Plate Set and the Konad double-ended stamper and they're just not sold here. What's more annoying is that among all these tests and studyings (even though those aren't happening fast enough x_X) is that I have no time to sit down and use my new polishes (Essence Choose Me! ;_;). Yeah. So. /firstworldproblems.

In other new, this may be the greatest nail polish blog in existence. Enjoy.

I WANT NERD LACQUER.

Only three though.
