F21 :: Shorts
Fashion Young :: Top
Michael Kors :: Wristlet
Pacific Mall (Toronto): Shoes
Hermes (non-authentic) :: Earrings

Metallics are a must-have this fall and winter, with gold embellishments at the top of the hot list. This combination has been seen on celebrities and all over the runways this season. Black worn alone is always sexy and flattering; add a touch of gold, and you’ll have an outfit that is simply chic. Black and gold combinations are perfect for nights on the town, whether it’s out to dinner with friends or if you’re off to the club. Dress up your black and dazzle in timeless gold!

I've been obsessed with leopard prints lately. Here is my take on leopard prints on my nails. I did 1/2 french and 1/2 full so it doesn't look too chaotic on my hands.

Outfit Of The Day: How to ROCK The White Jeans



1 Comments
Hey Everyone!!! First of all, Happy LUNAR New Year to all the ASIANS :] Here are some of the pictures that i edited and took for my youtube video!! I don't really like white jeans cuz they always make me look fatter and shorter, but i found a secret to eliminate those cons.


Tip #1: If you have a slim figure with long and slender legs, try to find skinny WHITE jeans. This will make your legs even longer and your thigh will even look smaller.
Wearing: FORGOT where i bought this jeans (sorry)


Tip #2: Try to wear "NUDE" heels or flats with white jeans because it will give an illusion that your legs are somewhat 2 inches longer.
Wearing: My NUDE Tory Burch flats

Tip #3: For the top, try to wear colors in the "neutral" family such as any pastel, light pink or gray top.
Wearing: lose tops from F21

4. Wear the mask for 20-30 minutes
5. To remove the mask, peel off slowly from the edge

Cautions:
1. Avoid using on blemishes, pimples, irritated or sunburned skin

Repurchase: yup!
Satisfaction : 3.9 / 5

My Honest Review:
To start with, I've tried many + different kinds of masks (even the one in life), but this one is pretty good for its price. I got this for only one dollar at H-Mart (A Korean Super Market) in the "cosmetic/tooth brush" section.
About the product, i love how it is packed in a thin and easy-to-open bag. The mask is not "overly" wet so that the solution are consistently dripping down on your neck. This mask has the right amount of "wetness", the smell is not too powerful that it will sting your sensitive nose, and thumb up for the little mess it leaves behind. This mask works wonderfully in term of its goals: detoxifying your skin, leaves the skin super soft, and is verryyy refreshing afterward. However, my skin is "kinda" itchy RIGHT NOW from the mask. Maybe i didn't clean it with a cleanser afterward (i will do that after this blog). Overall, this mask is very decent for its price.

Tips:
1. Close your eyes while putting on this mask (your eyes might get irritated)
2. Continue to close your eyes for 20-30 minutes (with the mask on)
3. Afterward, wash your face again with a cleanser (just in case u don't get itchy like me)

Sorry if i just cracked your computer screen due to my ugliness ^
And of course, I look nothing like this OUTSIDE in person :]

SOPA Blackout: Internet Censorship



2 Comments

The so-called SOPA blackout — protesting the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA for short) in the House of Representatives and the Protect IP Act in the Senate — has spread across the web today, perhaps the most widespread online lobbying effort ever coordinated by Internet entities.
Sites checked by ABC News did not actually “go dark” as originally threatened. Instead, they posted appeals to users to get in touch with their Congressional representatives to argue against passage of the two bills.

The bills were intended to protect movie makers, music publishers and other providers of online content who fear that in the digital age, people can copy what they’ve created and spread it without paying for it. They’ve said digital pirating is a major threat to their businesses. Supporters include the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Motion Picture Association of America. The Walt Disney Company, the parent company of ABC News, is among the firms supporting the legislation.

Internet companies have been complaining that the bills put them in the untenable position of having to be online police. They say they worry that the two bills could hold them responsible if users of their sites link to pirated content.

The companies said the bills could require your Internet provider to block websites that are involved in digital file sharing. And search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing could be stopped from linking to them — antithetical, they argue, to the ideal of an open Internet.
Wired.com ran a headline this morning that read, “Why We’re Censoring Wired Today” — if you could read it before most of the words on the page were symbolically redacted. (Move your cursor over the black bars and the words will reappear.)
The one headline that wasn’t blocked read: “Don’t Censor the Web. Tell Congress No on SOPA and PIPA.”

Life is a Picnic

It has been FOREVER since i last picnicked with the family. Life, nowadays, seems too fast and "modern" for this slow-pace activity at the park with loved ones. Therefore, my sister and i decided to have a picnic and might as well a photo shoot for our newest family member, Tigrou (aka Tiger in French). This is Tigrou first picnic, photo shoot, and park-time.

Fact about Christian Louboutin's Shoes:

1. Christian Louboutin's famous red soles were inspired by an employee's nail polish, so it's only fair that those same red soles inspired a manicure called, what else, but the "Louboutin Manicure." The trend involved painting the underside of the fingernail tip red, and the top of the nail black, so what looked like normal black polish delivered quick flashes of red, much like catching a fleeting glimpse of a Louboutin sole.

2. He used red nail polishes to create his "first" Christian Louboutin's first red sole EVER :]

Materials:
1. Shoes
2. Nail Polishes (1. Top Coat, 2. Red Nail Polish, and 3. White Nail Polish )
