*~Post-Exam Retail Therapy~*

lol my exam was done on thursday *sigh*...worse than i expected x_x...but post-exam retail therapy is always good LOL...but sadly i haven't had any items that really caught my eye...lol any suggestions?
i've been shopping around for a new wallet though...i've been a fan of the guccixheart combination but i don't feel that buying impulse for it...



*sigh* gotta rant about coach...not a fan of their poppy collection and seems to just get worse and worse...haha i think i'm just going to save my funds for xmas shopping...

*~Heart Me~*

i just got this necklace from forever 21 and i absolutely love it!! it's not up on the canadian website yet but it is in stores because i just picked it up at the mall n_n it's actually quite classy and i love how it's just the perfect size...not too bad and goes very well with a casual t-shirt or dress it up with your LBD~~

Dainty Heart Necklace - USD$3.90 or CAD$4.90

did i mention that it's a perfect mock look for a swarvoski necklace i spotted awhilte ago... haha...seriously it totally made my day admist all my exam stress *in 3 days*
this is a great buy that i definitely recommend 100%!

Sweetheart Pendant - USD$85.00 or CAD$95.00

P.S. the forever 21 version actually also comes in gold...but i just personally prefer silver more :)

*~Finally~*Zara Online!~*

so it's about time!! zara finally offers online shopping yay...*well not yet coz i don't think the site is fully functional*
many ppl don't realize BUT zara carries the most awesome winter coats that are really price friendly for their quality (wool is super warm and light-weight!)
this jacket is what I got a couple weeks ago and they had this style last year BUT it was sold out so I made sure this year...I grabbed one extra early!! the photo makes the collar looks weird but it's just a giant hat (heavy but not too overbearing) which is good for those cold cdn winter snowy days acoming...lol so push it back (not like the model) and it looks normal - trust me!
it's VERY slimming and way better than the black talula babaton virginia wool jacket that I bought for $300 from aritizia...while I still do love that one as well...zara definitely has way better value for ur money! it's just hard to find decent coats that are business appropriate while still keep you warm (cause there are some that look decent but are more for fall weather...which doesn't work for me living in toronto!)
seriously if you're looking for a WARM sophisticated winter coat for around CAD$150, zara is definitely the place to be (they do sell out FAST...)!

FALSE PLAIN COAT WITH WRAPAROUND COLLAR - CAD$129.00

**UPDATE** just checked the link again...they don't have that old picture up anymore haha maybe zara read my blog and changed the picture? lol...anyway this is what i mean by the collar not looking weird!!

other coats/jackets that I also liked:

RAINCOAT - CAD$95.90

DOUBLE BREASTED COAT WITH SHOULDERPADS - CAD$179.00

*~Mock Look for Less~*

i love j. crew...especially their cardigans...so sad we don't have one in toronto :( but here's a good alternative...

From J. Crew: Bonheur Cardigan - USD$158.00 now $99.99 on sale

From Forever 21: Raw Chiffon Trim Cardigan - CAD$29.80

*~Cupcake Goodness~*

quick post today...haha my post gets shorter and shorter as my exam date comes closer and closer~~
lol spotted this on the forever 21 u.s. site...apparently they already have it in Canadian stores according to my sister...looks super cute...it's on my to-get list!! totally reminds me of those cake challenges on food network~~

Cupcake Necklace - USD$5.80 or CAD$6.80

ahh so spending more time on the forever21 site isn't good for my wallet...LOL...i just spotted this super cute bag~~reminds me of a Betsey Johnson purse (not exactly the same) that's black and had a zipper detail bow~~i haven't had good experiences with f21 bags because they break down within like 2 months of wear...but this is tempting!!

Leatherette Shoulder Bag - USD$24.80 or CAD$29.80

*~Labour Day Weekend~*

ah...long weekend finally over~~well haha actualy didn't feel like long weekend to me since i'm continuously studying through out the past month x_x...so it's actually just a regular day for me but i did sleep in LOL *sigh* today is my sister's first day of university~~haha i'm excited for her for sure...but also sad at the same time...seriously time pass by too fast and i feel so so old x_x *GAH*...since we're 5 yrs apart LOL ...my other sister is still in high school~~although I'm always mistaken as the youngest sister n_n but seriously...looking back...i don't feel like i've grown up/matured...or it's not the same matured feeling i expected...*SIGH*...

btw I discovered this super funny comic on youtube...Eliot Chang!! he's hilarious...n super cute might I add...haha...look him up guys!! He's like the Asian Dane Cook! lol...


also i want to feature some TV shows I'm currently addicted to:
i usually watch them on www.tudou.com (lol it's like a chinese version of youtube BUT it has almost any shows you want to watch and ppl upload them super fast too~~just type in english like i.e. "drop dead diva season 2 episode 10" and the correct results will come up so no worries if you can't type in chinese...coz i can't either~~haha...)

Drop Dead Diva

it's such a heart warming story and just makes me feel better about life in general every time i watch it...it definitely has a unique story line!

Lie To Me

it's my temporary replacement for all my fav shows - csi, criminal minds, dexter etc...since i've watched all of those already haha...it's pretty good and i love the british accent~~

Masterchef USA

i love the food network haha...although i can't cook to save my life!! haha and i just love gordon ramsey...he's hilarious...and yes...i've a thing for british accent~~
i'm super grateful for youtubers who uploads episodes...since i always miss the regular show times with my hectic schedule!!
i'm rooting for mike~~!!

*~...Exam Blues...~*

ah exam date is closing in...x_x getting depressed *wahhh* so time for some retail therapy~~haha~~
A&F is having a super good sale right now especially on dresses *although I hate that they use purolator service...one time the guy claimed he KNOCKED and i missed my delivery...wtf...i live in a house...RING THE DOORBELL...so now I leave a note on the door so he rings...*...anyway lol went off on a rant tangent there~~
here's what I picked up~~btw A&F blocks their site depending your location so I can only view the Canadian site...probably due to the price differences~~
