Review Yesstyle Order and Amazon Boots

Hi guys,

As you can see my package finally came! I'm so happy to finally see the items I bought.

It came in this small box.

Everything was tightly packed when I opened it. I'm glad that they had a pouch that covered the box. I always appreciate good packaging. 

The first time I'm going to show you is the convertible scarf. The tag was in Japanese so I assumed that this brand is a Japanese brand. 

The scarf was exactly like it was pictured in the website. Actually I'm wearing it right now as we speak. It's not very thick but comfortable and light.

The open cardigan was also very nice. 

The material is thick for the summer but perfect to wear indoors in the winter and I really like this color too.

My mask came in this packaging and I haven't used it yet.

It also came with a free BB cream sample though I don't really use much on my face but I'll try it sometime. The picture below are the box and below it is the individual mask.

I bought these black boots in Amazon. I have been looking for short boots for awhile because calf length boots are either too expensive or poorly made. So I was browsing around amazon when I found these boots. They were about $30. The reviews were pretty mixed. Some found nails while other thought it was best boots ever. I waited quite awhile before I decided to purchase these boots.  I remember seeing in some reviews that they bought these boots less than $30 so I just saved it in my shopping cart. Over winter break these price were jump up a little bit and I remember at the high point it reached to price of over $50 per pair! A week ago I saw that these boots were selling at around $27 then the price decreased. In the end I bought it for $26.65 and now it's selling about $28.

The boots looked like it did in pictures. It is a bit hard to put the shoe on but the shoe itself was pretty wide. When I walked outside the other day I was fine but big chunks of salt did get into my shoe. Overall I was pretty satisfied with my shoes with the price.


I hope you enjoy reading my blog.

Yesstyle Order

Hi!

I recently made a purchase on Yesstyle. They were having sales and offered free shipping for orders over $35. I bought a convertible scarf ($13.47), open front cardigan ($11.97),  and a box of masks($11.12). This is the first time I made a purchase from this website.

Scarf: Baimomo

The reason I liked about this scarf is it's convertible feature. The buttons change the scarf into a light poncho and I always need scarfs anyway.

This is the cardigan I got in grey. I didn't want more black so it was either grey or red. Since the holidays are over I thought grey would be a better color. It seemed like a cute cardigan I can wear with leggings. Since I don't button up my cardigans anyway the open front feature doesn't bother me.

Lastly I bought a mask from the brand My Scheming. Since the masks here are super expensive I decided to get a box from yesstyle. The mask is called L-Ascorbic Acid Brightening Mask.

Once my items arrive I will do a full review.

XOXO

Summary of 2015

At the beautiful gazebo located downtown in my city

Hello!

My winter break has finally ended and I'm heading back to school today. For my sorority we have recruitment bootcamp Saturday and Sunday. Basically this half of the year has been decent.

School related things:
After numerous applications in the end I was able to get 6 interviews: 4 accounting position practicums, 1 finance summer internship, and 1 finance and accounting summer internship. I received 1 offer from the finance and accounting position so I will have a place to intern at for the summer!

As for classes I did ok but not as well as I hoped for but I will try harder this semester to improve my grades. I can't believe that this semester will be be last semester taking core classes needed for my major. Next fall I will be finishing up my undergrad classes which includes capstone and electives. I also need to declare my finance minor and apply for the masters program.

Winter break:

This break I was able to hangout of with my friends from high school. Everyone seemed to be doing well. We went to the new Bdubs and the wings were spicy but overall a great experience.

The wings I got were had the honey BBQ sauce

 I went to Wholefoods recently because my brother wanted orange juice. I was really craving chocolate so I picked up a bar.

I really like this dark chocolate. Since it was only 56%, the taste wasnt very bitter.

The bakery section I can only look but not buy

 I'm so happy to be able to buy cupcake from Babycakes again :D

Butter Pecan: buttery taste and I loved the pecans

Strawberry Champagne: very smooth and the frosting was very glossy

 On the day after Christmas we went to the outlet mall to see if there was any sales.  I got this bright vest and a grey cardigan. The vest is super warm because it is made from down and also it was half off and the cardigan is a nice thick material.

Vest: Nike
Cardigan: Tommy Hilfiger

 Of course every time I come back I have to go to the mall. I was able to get two similar dresses from H&M. One is a half sleeves black dress while the one is sleeveless dark blue. I don't remember the cost of each dress but my total was under $27. Me and my sister also dropped by Gloria Jean's to get some chillers. I got my usual ultimate cookie chiller which was delicious as always. I posted the picture below on instagram and got featured on the Gloria Jean's instagram page :D

Left: Ultimate Cookie Chiller
Right: Macadoodle Chiller

 Awhile back after the last week of classes my boss and her assistant treated me and my co-workers to lunch, We went to this restaurant that was on campus. The food is decent but not my favorite place to go.

philly steak with no mushrooms and sweet potato fries

I was able to meet up with my best friend from high school and we got crepes as usual. You've probably seen this crepe before in my blog.

Fruit Lovers Crepe

Life Update: Food & Buys

(strawberry banana pancakes @ ihop)

Hello Lovelies,

I haven't updated lately just because nothing interesting has happened to me. Everyday is workout, eat, and work. Thats lame and boring I know. To start off this post is the lovely pancake because what is better than food right?

Today I went with my sis to a quick trip to the mall. Through the recommendation of our older sis we went to look at some earrings at the piercing pagoda stand. The selection was limited and pretty expensive. They did have a 25% off when you spend over $50. Since these earrings are known not to go rusty nor make your ears itchy we each got a pair.  There was a little selection of earring dedicated to birthday stones. The emerald earrings looked pretty nice. I decided between the earrings below which I got and heart ones. Of course I chose the ones below as you can see. I thought the heart ones look a bit flimsy.

(10k emerald stud earrings)

Since we both love VS Pink we went there first. There was any sale because the semi-annual just ended maybe a week or two ago. There was a free tumbler & mini dog with any pink purchase (excluding clearance). The shorties were also only $15 but they didn't seem worth it. Lounge tops had a $10 off but I didn't really need more tops.

We also head over to forever 21 which had 30% off clearance. I tried on two dresses but they didn't look good on me so I didn't end up getting it. Then we went to charlotte ruse which had some sells but nothing caught my eye. The last place we went to was h&m which had a 50% off clearance going on. I do like h&m because of their professional/business clothes.

 (blue blazer: $5) 

I love blazers. So I was pretty excited when they had some on sale. Sadly my shoulders are pretty broad so I only fit a size 8. There were no black blazers that fit me but thankfully this blue one did. Its very nice and its a more darker in real life than the pic. I can definitely wear it to any events that requires me to dress business professional.

 (top: $2.50, crop tights: $7.50)

Since working out I have been looking for more active/work out gear. There was a small section of active gear that was on clearance which was great! Though I want more bras workout clothes are just as good.

 (bj's graduation cake)

A couple of weeks ago we celebrated my two cousin's graduation as well as my sis's at my cousins. It was a pretty chilly day with lots of mosquitoes. After eating we had this lovely cake. I not sure way kind it was though. It was a pretty nice day to chill with the fam.

The Nike outlet is a store I adore. Whats better than having lots of nikes everywhere! This time I didn't have a particular running shoes I liked so I got these high tops instead. I've never own a pair like these before so we'll see how it goes.

Last month we celebrated my dad's birthday at texas roadhouse. Not to mention the free rolls and peanuts steaks here are amazing. We started off with cheese fries which we shared. Bacon all over the fries. This was some good fries.

I shared this lovely prime rib with my mommy. It is the best! We get the prime rib every time we're here. This dish is my favorite.

That's it for today. Hopefully more things happen so I can write more blog posts. Thanks for reading and enjoy your day :)

LOVE,

Update on Life

Hello!

I got starbucks a week a ago. It was absolutely perfect. I love the starbucks in my town. I got the new cafe espresso frap, my sis- cookie crumble frap, & mom- dark roast coffee. Seriously though my starbucks is always delicious. I'm starting to get a little starbucks deprived right now.

Since I started to working out I thought it was great idea to get new work gear. I got the above tank and shoes from the nike outlet. Totally in love I love new clothes. I also got new sports bras from another place though. I've been working out for two weeks now. I really like the facility that i'm going to. There is a private women's workout area, cinema screen workout room, and full locker room. 

Last Sunday I went to my aunt's wedding reception. I'm happy to gain another uncle. It was at a chinese restaurant with americanized chinese food. 

This was the lovely wedding cake. I loved that there was fruits on it. Too bad the cake fell down during mid-reception.

Today I met up with one of my best friends to go out for lunch. It nice to able to meet up with her since most of our friends are always so busy. The drink above is the very berry limeade. I think I also got it the last time i was there.

For lunch I got the turkey burger and regular fries. The burger was a bit spicy so not my favorite.

That is all. I hope you are having a great summer so far!

Love,

M
