SHOPPING

So after a month of not shopping, I totally caved in. I was able to pay off my one of my credit cards plus I have been doing really well in school. So I thought that I deserved to buy myself something haha. I was also starting to go a little crazy and bored not being able to shop at the mall or online.

The first place that I shopped at was Tobi.com. They were having a 40% off Easter weekend sale so I wanted to grab a bunch of stuff that I liked before they sold out!

Then... since I've been doing a lot of hot yoga lately I decided to buy more hot yoga shorts. My favorite brand for hot yoga wear is TheOnzie.com. Their shorts are one size fits all... so absolutely no annoying love handles!! They always have the coolest prints and the material is very comfortable. I love wearing my Onzie shorts.

Then on another day, I was walking around the mall with my xbf (or is he still my bf?) and I decided to go into Zara. I have never bought anything from there before but for some reason I thought that I would start. They clothes are bit pricier but they are totally worth it because of the quality.

This shirt would be cute with floral shorts and black gladiator sandals!

Then....... I found the cutest Iphone case online!!

This comes in a sh*tload of different colors.

I'm really weird though so I like matching the color of my Iphone to my cases.

I had my Iphone housing changed so that it is hot pink!

This jacket isn't for me but I bought it for my younger cousin for his 13th birthday. His family doesn't always have that much money to spend so most of the time he is stuck wearing clothes that have been handed down by both of his brothers. I love my lil cousin so much though so when he said that he wanted "cool clothes for highschool" for his birthday, my sister, her husband, and I said that we would take him shopping. He was so excited... it was adorable! He even woke up early to call us and ask us if we were still going to take him shopping. When we got to the mall, we told him to pick out whatever he wanted. 

We went to the Nike store first and bought him a new pair of Nike Free runners in blue (his fave color). It's so cute seeing how shy he was because he said he was worried we would be spending too much money on him. Then we went to this store called J2 where I picked out this Obey Varsity Jacket. It was about $200? The small was a bit big on my cousin because he is tiny but he'll grow into it :D We wanted to buy him a pair of True Religion jeans but nothing fit him haha. He also ended up with a blue LRG zipup hoody and 3 t-shirts from Forever21. 

When we got home, it was so cute watching my cousin because I could see him constantly looking at his new clothes. The pants that he was wearing were these no name track pants that were too short on him, his jacket was some old no name jacket as well, and his runners looked like they were going to fall apart :( I know high school can be horrible because kids are such bullies so I hope that my cousin fits in. Otherwise, I'm going to have to beat some lil kids up JOKINGGGGG!!

There are a few other things that I bought for my room which I'll do in a separate posting. I'm planning to redo my entire bedroom (yay!) I also bought a monthly subscription to the new Microsoft word 2013 for school. Does that count as shopping? haha

BLOGGER HIATUS!

I've been insanely busy with school so I haven't been able to blog. There is so much that I want to blog about though! I'll probably have more time to make a blog posting this weekend but here is a brief summary of what has been going on with my life:

001. After 32 days of not shopping I gave in and bought some clothes off of Tobi.com

002. However, I still managed to pay off one of my credit cards :D

003. I got into a stupid argument with my bf and moved back home. 

004. Which is why I've decided to redo my bedroom!! I'll post about this later

005. Only 1 more month left until the school term is over

006. But my advanced medical surgical class starts this coming Monday :(

007. I have a paper due tomorrow at 11pm which means... 

I ONLY HAVE 15 HOURS LEFT TO FINISH F*CK!!!

OOTD

I finally dressed up and left my apartment today to do some errands. I'm going to dinner later tonight as well with my boyfriend for his brother's birthday. Feels good not to be in my pjs 24/7!

TOBI PICKS

I thought that I would check out Tobi.com to see if I liked any of their new items. I'm not shopping because I'm trying not to buy anything for a few months, but I thought that I would share what I would buy if I were to buy something. BAD IDEA!!!! It's made me want to shop so bad right now UGH!! Maybe someone who likes my picks will snag these before they are gone and before the sale is over.

BALENCIAGA WORK

It's day 24 of no shopping for me. AHH! I don't have a hard time saving anymore but now I feel like I have no life lol. It seems like all that I do nowadays is school-related. I don't even dress up because I don't leave my apartment except for when I go to hot yoga or school! So haven't had any OOTD pics to post! I have been thinking a lot about what bag I want to buy next though. I finally narrowed my bag choices down to 2 bags. One of them is definitely the Balenciaga work bag. I want it in the navy blue shade called bleu mineral with giant 12 gold hardware.

(BUY HERE)

I love this bag for so many reasons. First, I LOVEEEEEE big and roomy bags. I'm pretty tall (5'7) and so I find that big bags suit me better. Plus, I tend to carry a lot of junk with me. I also like that this bag is dark blue as opposed to the usual neutral colors that I wear. I really... really... want this bag <3

Balenciaga is worn by tons of people. 

Here are a few of them rockin' their Balenciaga work bags 

(I found these all on google)

I am extremely jealous of Nicole Richie's Balenciaga collection

I wouldn't mind a yellow color as well

I like this color but I already have beige bags

PANDORA CHARM BRACELET

Ever since my boyfriend gave me a Pandora charm bracelet for Valentine's Day, I've been obsessed with it. I seriously stare at it all day and think about what charms I want to buy next. A few of my girlfriends own Pandora charm bracelets and I've wanted one for a long time. I never got around to buying myself one though, so I was super excited when my boyfriend gave me one!

My Pandora charm bracelet starter kit

I only had 3 charms to start with, and I really wanted to buy some glass charms to add color to my bracelet. For the longest time, I couldn't decide on what color theme I wanted. Pink? Purple? Black and white?? In the end, I chose to go with a silver and white theme because that way it would match all of my outfits. I bought two clear glass charms for $55 CAD each.

 I love pairing my Pandora bracelet with my watch

Excuse my hideous nails... nurses aren't allowed to wear nail polish :(

Two years ago, I had actually bought a Pandora charm bracelet for my younger sister for her birthday. I gave her a silver bracelet with the birthday cake charm. It was so cute! Then this year for her birthday, I bought her the birthstone charm. I convinced my sister to go to Pandora with me to buy more charms and so she ended up going with a purple theme. Once again, I've convinced my sister to spend $$$ with me lol!

My sister's Pandora charm bracelet. 

 Rather than buying all of my charms at once, I decided that I would take my time and buy my charms occasionally. That way, my bracelet and charms would have more meaning to me. However, that hasn't stopped me from googling Pandora bracelets on the internet like a mad woman. I've saved so many different bracelets on my computer for inspiration, that I may seem a little coo-coo.
