My first GIVEAWAY :D

GIVEAWAY TIME \(^__^)/

Yes,..I know I only have 29 people following me, but reality is I have way too many items in my closet that aren't being loved. Instead of having it just sit there, I have decided to give these items to you!

There will be two giveaways:
Group 1. For those followers that have recently joined (after Nov 2) - I don't anticipate there being many
Group 2. For those followers that have been there since the beginning

Here is what you're getting (group 1 & group 2 can participate):

There is the closeup of the Etude House Blush colour


This is what consists of the Lorac Palette - I haven't opened it so I can't take a photo of the contents inside (it's shrink wrapped)

Giveaway #2 for group 2 followers:

Rules & How to enter:

- Tell me something you are thankful for. It could be anything! I try to think about this at least once a day while I'm driving. I think it's important to take time to sit and take it all in; to really appreciate what you have in life. There is always someone out there that has it worse than you. I am so thankful for everything that I have in my life..I am thankful for having a computer to connect with people, for having a relatively healthy body, for having enough food in my fridge, for having wonderful family and friends that love me for who I am...it can be anything!


Rules:

- Must be a follower of my blog
- One entry per person (if you're in Group 2 and you enter, I will calculate your entry automatically for the Group 2 giveaway)

Michael Kors Watch

drumroll please.... it has finally arrived!


My MK Watch! I contemplated for awhile whether to get the gold or the black. A lot of ppl have the gold and well, summer is over, so I decided to get the black one instead :D My first reaction was "damn this is heavy" lol It's a nice sturdy watch (a little big for my whimpy wrists), but still love it nonetheless! I will definitely get the one in gold or the one in tortise next! The watch is #MK5191 and purchased it for $189.62 CAD. After taxes + shipping I think it came out to approximately $220 CAD.


I purchased it from overstock.com (now that I think about it, not sure why I didn't just go to the store at Sherway lol) I just checked to see if they have it online, but looks like it's sold out! (sorry guys) EDIT: I went to the Michael Kors Store at sherway today and she sales rep told me it was $285, meaning after taxes I saved a whopping $100!!! wow

You can check out the men's version of it here or the sold out women's version here

Ok...seriously no more shopping, I gotta start saving for xmas! Oh..and thanks for your help with the previous post regarding Holt Renfrew. I have decided to hold off on the LV purse for now for many valid reasons :( It will have to wait... I told myself that I should have AT LEAST 6 months pay saved up before buying anything big. I remember reading on a forum somewhere - this girl said that she just got an increase in her credit card and that she was gonna go out and buy an LV purse b/c of it! whoa whoa...ppl, please don't view your credit card as money in your pocket! Save up for big purchases and pay it in full - that way you don't have to worry about paying interest and the item is all yours :) I mean, using your cc is a great way to build your credit rating, but don't use it if you can't pay it off :)

Have an awesome week - upcoming posts: NOTD, small review on 2 diff eyeshadow primers and that darn fiberwig mascara :D

Hello! Haul from Korea :D


My boyfriend recently went to Korea for his friend's wedding. I wrote him a 'small' list of some brands and products. This is what he returned with :D


Originally I wanted the gold cap BB cream that has the cream blush in the cap. In the description I said, purple body and gold cap..he returned with this one instead lol:



I'm still super happy and very appreciative that he got me all this stuff! Honestly I thought he would just return with a small little bag, but there's just so much! :D I'll put some of the duplicate items in my giveaway :)

On a side note, is there anyone out there than can read Korean? I don't know what the skin care items are for. The one with the BB cream, i'm not sure if that's a primer or moisturizer ? (if you click on the photo, it should expand)

Have a good week!

Really old OOTD and Holt Renfrew question

:) I found these old photos on my computer so decided to share it with you!

Yes...I know my legs are pasty and pale...and yes I know I look ghostly unhealthy. I am made aware of this by my friends all the time :P

I'm loving the crossbody purses - it makes things a lot easier to carry around. I hate it when some shoulder bags just don't want to stay on your shoulder and they keep falling down to your arm!

Item:
Top: Walmart!!!! (this the the first top I have ever bought from there, but I must say, it is quite comfortable) The cute part, that you can't really see in the photos, is that it has little gold buttons on the shoulders. I like the fact that it has the whole nautical theme going on
Cardigan: Zara
Shorts: dont remember, but probably somewhere like Garage or one of those outlet stores
Purse: Winners - cheap london fog but I get a lot of compliments on it :P
Nails: Revlon's minty
Necklace: Lisa Taubes 42" gold filled chain
Bracelets: gold + silver bangles from David Smallcombe

...and..

I have a question for those of you who shop at Holt Renfrew - I have never purchased anything from that store, but am very interested in doing so. I would like to purchase a LV purse, but I hear that you can't use holt renfrew gift cards toward any LV items? Is this true? I tried contacting Holt R but not response :( !! (-1 for bad customer service)

Happy end of summer folks!
