Happy Birthday To Me

heh. Its already the next day but I was out until not that long ago. Had a lovely dinner with my friends. Not going to post up the photos though cuz I didn't snap any really awesome photos. To sum it all up, it was just a party of 10 in this room with a giant table. Like actually, the table was insane huge.

Before I get too carried away talking about food again, here's the dress that I ordered off of Body Line (L299 in purple)

 Please excuse my derp-ness. Anyway, to be totally honest, I was a teensy bit disappointed with the dress even though its very cute. The red on the dress is a bit too bright for my liking. The picture on the website made it look a bit washed out.

Don't worry though if you're planning on buying it, the dress is super cute. It can be worn in a variety of styles too (or so I've noticed). It can go as a halter dress (like how I wore it in the picture above) and it can also be straps since there are two other ribbons on the back that you can tie it to. The size is pretty good as well. It isn't tight on me which definitely means I can layer under and over it.

If I had to give a rating for this dress? .... 7.5/10 --> mostly cuz the colours weren't as "pastel" as I thought it would be.
Also I'm really pissed at the shipping company. I had to randomly pay another 25$ to pick it up from the post office. Absolutely ridiculous. I've never had to do that ever for any other online orders.

 Lookit this Alpaca backpack! Fangs, buddy. You know who you are. Anyway. This can be coordinated with so many lolita outfits haha. Can't wait for summer: season of the conventions. As much as I love lolita, I'm not devoted enough to wear it any time other than during conventions or costume parties haha

More Alpaca products. This is a little Alpaca keychain in a maid outfit haha. How cute is that?

Happy Holidays to everyone : ) Who knows when I'll make a new post but hopefully I'll squeeze one in right before the new year

Macarons vs. Macaroons

I have a feeling that this will be a weird post but... (just an excuse to put up my pictures haha)

I think just up until earlier this year, I didn't know the difference between macarons and macaroons. So let's make things straight: Macarons are the cute ones (I don't know about you but in my opinion, there's nothing really cute about macaroons)
All of my pictures here are of macarons. They come in assorted flavours and they're quite tasty
Macaroons, on the other hand, are these shell shaped pastries (kind of like biscuits?) and they're made with coconut inside. Ergo, I don't eat them. I hate anything with coconut in it.

A friend got these at a bakery (?) called Faubourg. I really have no idea what or where the place is as I wasn't there. I just took her pictures and edited them hahas.

 I did however, get to eat this one ^^^ Candy Cane Macaron. My breath felt all minty after eating it!

 And here's Pistachio. I always love the vibrant colours of things that are pistachio flavoured but it seems weird to me.... so I've never tried

Back to the whole Macaron vs Macaroon thing. I feel that it's pretty inevitable that people are going to continue mistaking the two. Just today, I passed by a bakery selling macarons labelled as macaroons. But hey, raise the awareness, right? (LOL I make this issue sound a lot bigger than it really is.... First World Problems?)

Just for fun, here's a picture of my friend's cat, Kiki (Yes, that's me holding her) and yes, that is the "all hope and chance of escape has lost"-look in her eyes. Happens every time I pick her up ;)

Anyway, I should probably get to sleep. Gotta wake up early tomorrow and finish a term paper and studying for a final that are both due tomorrow night haha. Procrastination  at its finest, eh folks?

So I deco'd my nerf gun

 

Look! A pink Christmas Tree ;D It's cute, right? I wish I had the ornaments to make that tree. Would've been even better with a white tree though (or maybe mint green) :O

So, I deco'd my nerf gun. For one, I had never seen anyone do this before. Maybe someone has but I just haven't seen it before and I thought it'd be a cute idea to add on to a lolita outfit or something for the next convention that's coming up (considering how I just ordered a new dress too).

 So yeah. Half of it is bedazzle (with rhinestones and pearl beads) and the other half is deco. I would've just deco'd the whole thing but I kind of ran out of supplies haha >> I probably should have bought more stuff when I went back to Hong Kong last summer. (I think the trend is kind of dying though....I tried looking, I swear)

 This one store always makes such awesome looking candy apples. Does anyone know how to actually eat them though? I think I'd just make a giant mess with the toppings .... heh

First time trying "hot" bubble tea. This is the Earl Grey Milk Tea with pearls on the side. To be honest though, the pearls look like a strange concoction of clear liquid and frog eggs or something.. but it was actually pretty good. I'll definitely get this the next time time I go out for bbt during winter

Well anyway, short post but mostly it was just for pictures of the nerf gun. Talk soon
