OOTDs + some other stuff

So I am officially 26 years old now!! I celebrated my birthday... 4 times LOL because I have so many different groups of friends. I'll have to write my birthday post another time because it's quite extensive. But here are some OOTD pictures in the mean time. 

I'm wearing this outfit right now. I'm supposed to go to the states to go grocery shopping with my boy-friend (I put a "-" inbetween because I refuse to call him my "boyfriend" until he officially asks me out) but he is ONE HOUR LATE!! So frustrating because I could have done errands. PS: I can't stand how I still look like a 17 year old when I just turned 26 lol.

Finally got my nails done because I'm not working right now! 

Bought this skirt from H&M for only $20 CAD. 

But I might return it because I'm supposed to be "saving money" lol

I went to get my drivers license renewed the other day. I didn't realize we couldn't wear hats so they wouldn't let me take my picture (I refused to take my hat off because I had messy hair and no makeup). So I ended up leaving and coming back after I  made myself look pretty LOL. I stopped by Sephora after I left the first time because I was so angry and I picked up so stuff. 

Stila liquid eyeliner - THE BEST EVER!! Totally worth the money

Ole Henriksen kit - I ran out of face cream so I thought I would grab a new brand at Sephora. I didn't end up buying any and went for a face oil instead. SOOO MUCH BETTER! It's not oily at all (I have combination skin) and it makes my skin feel sooooooo healthy and youthful. I read the reviews about this brand Ole Henriksen and it got nothing but 5 stars from customers. I highly recommend trying it out. This kit was on sale for $44 CAD and it includes face wipes, face wash, face oil and serum. You will look/feel awesome. 

Someone asked if I could post pictures of my room/dresser a long time ago but I never got around to doing it. Partly because it has taken me over 2 years to finish my room since moving to my new house... I'm so slow/lazy! I always seem to end up using my money to buy clothes instead of finishing my room up. This is what it looks like so far. I still need to buy a Venetian mirror for above my dresser and I want to buy more bowls for my rings and bracelets. I also want to add more pictures somewhere. 

Xmas Wishlist 2013

Only 3.5 more months until Christmas and my birthday!! So many goodies that I want this year lol. I already told my boyfriend that I wanted a YSL or Prada bag. Maybe I'll get both if Santa thinks I've been good? :D

I already have the Louis Vuitton shawl in a beige/green color but I barely wear it. I love the denim one because it's such a nice blue color.

My sister uses the Clarisonic and she highly recommended it to me. She claims that her skin is much softer so I really want to try the cleansing system out since I have dry skin. The Plus has speed settings for both your face and body.

My Iphone 4S has completely started to break down on me. The battery dies within a few hours and the power button doesn't seem to work anymore. A new phone this year would help a lot!

Lastly, I have been wanting a Tiffany & Co bracelet for a long time now. If I get one, I promise I will wear it everyday Santa! xoxo

Louis Vuitton Logomania Scarf

I'm pretty set on buying another Louis Vuitton scarf for this fall/winter. Why another one you ask? Because I lent my mother my scarf last year and she LOST IT!! $375 CDN down the fricken drain! 

Logomania scarf in Blue

This is the scarf that I once had. I try not to think about it too much because it gives me high blood pressure. I love the color so I might buy it in blue again?

Logomania in Anthracite (L) and Verone (R)

Or I could go for a lighter scarf and choose of these colors. I think the Verone would be easiest to match BUT I already have a Louis Vuitton shawl in a similar color. No point in having two same colored things!!

Logomania in Anthracite

I don't own any dark colored scarves so this is a good option as well! 

HMMMMM... so what color should I end up choosing? Note to self: do not lend anything to my mom again or you will never see it again

Some OOTDs

OMG... last week was a crazy week for me!! I had a final on Tuesday which I was freaking out about. I studied 3 days in a row for it, which was worth it because I think I did really well *fingers crossed*. I had another final and project due on Friday BUT... I went to the Jay Z/JT concert on Wednesday. I wasn't planning to drink but I ended up drinking and staying out till 4am. I woke up the next day feeling dead lol. My project was pretty much a nursing research paper which I despise. I'm just so glad my summer school semester is over. Now I have 2 weeks to study and review my nursing skills before I begin working at the hospital for my practicum. I got placed on the Oncology unit = I'm super excited!!

 I couldn't decide on what to wear to the Jay Z/JT concert. I've never been to a rap/hiphop concert before so I wasn't sure if I was supposed to go dressy, super casual, or both. I ended up wearing the denim shorts outfit which worked out fine because it got really hot!

I've become obsessed with my Zara jean jacket!! 

It has stretch in it so it's comfortable to wear. I usually hate wearing denim because it feels so rough on my skin. My denim jeans are always falling off my ass and either over-stretched or too tight. Ugh. 

I blurred the background out cause it's my messy kitchen lol

My very first designer bag

My first love lol

When I was 18, I bought myself my very first Louis Vuitton bag. I was 16 years old when I got my first job at a small clothing store. I remember being so excited at the thought of being independent. I no longer needed to rely on my parents to pay my for my cellphone, and I could spend as much as I wanted on clothes. I finally decided at 18 that I would save enough money to buy my first designer bag. After spending a lot of time researching on the internet, I decided that I wanted the Louis Vuitton Mini Lin Speedy in Ebony. I didn't want to buy one at full price though, and so I also spent a lot of time researching reliable sellers on Ebay. I finally found my bag for sale by authentic_lvlady for about $700. Although it was used, it was still in pretty good condition. Waiting for my bag to arrive in the mail was so painstakingly difficult. It's like waiting to hear if you have been accepted into nursing school lol. When it finally did arrive, it was love at first sight. I felt so proud telling my friends that this was an authentic bag that I had bought with my own money.

This bag ended up lasting me a very, very, long time. I probably used this bag everyday for the next 3 years. I kind of wished that I had chosen a different Louis Vuitton bag because the Mini Lin is made out of fabric, which makes it more prone to wearing out. As you can see in my picture, the bottom corners of my bag have rubbed off! The fabric has also been discolored by the stupid Louis Vuitton padlock. Oh well. This bag is still my first love <3

For a long time, I didn't end up buying myself any new bags. I actually ended up buying my next 2 Louis Vuitton bags for my mom! I figured that my mom had worked so hard all of her life to get to where she is today. She was born into a really poor family but because of her perseverance and strong desire to succeed, she is now in a position that pays her $50/hour. My mom is also a single mother and survivor of breast cancer. I love my mom because she is such an inspiration! However, my mom is also very "stingy" with her money. She has never bought herself a nice bag before and so I thought that I would buy her one (or maybe two) to show her how much I appreciate her.

The first bag that I bought my mom was the Louis Vuitton Speedy in Damier Azure. This was for her birthday. The second bag that I bought my mom (halfed this with my sister) was the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM, which was for one of her birthdays as well. I love shopping and am a self-proclaimed shopaholic. This includes loving to shop for other people! It makes me happy having nice things and I like to share that happiness with others by buying nice things for them as well. Plus, one of the pros of having a mom and sister is that you get to share clothing/bags ;)

I love faux fur vests.... I have about 4 of them =P

J Brand 811 Twill Skinny

These are one of my favorite pairs of jeans. Firstly, they have a good stretch to them and the material is very soft. They are very comfortable to wear! I usually have a hard time finding jeans that fit me well but these jeans are perfect. They also come in different colors every season (I have own a pair in tiger eye and a light turquoise color). I highly recommend buying a pair... and I'll probably end up buying more when they go on sale. They normally retail for $176 US (I got ripped off and bought my turquoise ones from Aritzia for $200 something) but the colors always go on sale at the end of the season. When I bought my tiger eye ones I got them from Gilt.com for only $89! There is actually a sale on right now on Revolve.com so if you find your size then grab them before they are gone! (BUY HERE)

Since Christmas is over and now that I've been working as a part time Care Aid... I've decided to start building up on my bag collection :D My Care Aid job is awesome because it pays me soooo well and I only work a few times a week so that I can manage my school workload at the same time. 

Here is my plan: Pay off my credit cards (I'm thinking that I can do this by end of Feb) and then begin to start saving up for my dream bags above! (Yes I know.. I'm beginning to sound like a brat who should be saving my money instead but whatever... shopping keeps me sane).
