California Haul

Hello friends! I went on a trip to California and stayed in L.A. for 5 days and San Diego for another 5 and had an amazing time. Here are some things I bought for myself there. :) You just can't get certain deals online. And I enjoy physical shopping a lot more than online.

I've been trying a slightly different eye make up style lately.

I'll post some pictures of the areas I was in another time. :)

On The Other Side

I got a couple of jackets from Goodwill for my trip to California, Arizona, and Nevada later this month. I've wanted a parka/anorak type jacket for a while now but most are too thick for Hawaii. This jacket was rather light and suited the weather here so I figure why not where it now?

Swap meet Sunday

As the titles ensues, I went to the swap meet at the stadium on Sunday. I was hoping to find cool thrift pieces, but most of the clothes were for men. However, I did find a couple stalls selling anime merchandise so I thought I'd buy some for my Anime Club as potential prizes. It was soooo much cheaper than the regular stores that sell them. Also, I got 4 bread key chains for $1. Usually they're atleast $3 each, hollaaaaaa.

I got each of these bracelets for $1


This beanie was $5 which is even cheaper than the navy one I have. This one fits better, too.


Me, Chris, and Shelley went to the mall and Sephora had a sale on some of their stuff like select Urban Decay eye shadows which were $6 when they're usually $18. I also got a face washing brush for $3. That aside, I LOOOOVE this burgundy and the blue-ish sheen it has.


I also got this shirt for $8 at Hot Topic. I died when I saw the graphic on it. Sick! Chris and Shelley tried to convince me not to get it, but I was in love with how creepy it looked.

I also got another lipstick. The dark red you see me wearing is Cherry Bomb by Wet N Wild and it's a great pigmented matte lipstick.

Senior Luau

As far as I know, Senior Luau is a common tradition for most public schools in Hawaii. I think it makes up for not having a homecoming dance, which is what most schools in the US have. We rode a trolley around Waikiki screaming at people and then got to the ballroom. Following that, we had a some games to play, dinner, limbo, then dancing. The thick Japanese lashes I got in my last post turned out to be SUPER irritating to my eyes. I guess the band was too thick and the length was too long, so when I wore sunglasses, it was pretty much impossible for the two not to touch. Also, it felt as if the lashes kept being pushed into my eyes. My eyes would not stop watering, so in the middle of it, I changed to a thinner pair of lashes. (Good thing I had a feeling they would give me problems)

I went with Kelsey, John, Brianne, and her friend, Mark. We stopped by the mall first because Brianne had to get a skirt.

The purple in my hair is just in certain spots, I don't get it.

Another thrift haul ft. some stuff from F21

Another collective hauls of the clothes I've bought in the past month.



When I went to Forever 21, I first saw this duster-type cardigan and I wanted to get it soooo bad, but I saw the jeans and shorts I mentioned in the video above and decided to get those instead.

A solo day running errands. On the way home I got kimchee stew from Palama, oh my god, I haven't had real korean kimchee stew in so long, I died. It was wayyy too good.

OOTD: Acid waterfalls

Hey guys, so here is my outfit of the day video for Monday, my blogging's all backwards but it's mostly the pictures that count haha. On this day I had to run a bunch of errands like meeting up with people to sell my clothes and meeting them at a park, at their school, then i had to walk all the way back into town to buy fabric for my fashion design project. I got some really good kimchee fried rice from the Korean supermarket, Palama though! And it was only $3 AND SOOO GOOD.

Not your day

Yesterday was relatively chilly (for Hawaii standards in late August) and when I saw that it was raining this morning, I assumed it'd be the same. NOPE. One or two hours in, the sun was completely out AND IT WAS BLAZING. And today has just been such a long day so I really don't want to do much but I have math homework and an AP Psych test tomorrow. So I'm making this quick.

Goodwill Goes Glam

I didn't bring my camera to the event, but that's what it was called. And let me tell you IT WAS SO GREAT! There were a LOT more things there and I just didn't know where to start. And as soon as I got there I was just grabbing things. The prices were regular Goodwill prices, shirts were around $5, pants $7, etc.

I WAS DEAD WHEN I SAW THIS JACKET! The previous denim jacket I have had a feminine fit and I just didn't like it so when I saw this one and especially the acid wash I was in love. Also, I love the little details on it. The zig zag on the buttoning area and it has pockets near the bottom just perfect.

I'm considering selling my pink sweater and previous denim jacket on my FaceBook so I got this pink cardigan and I really enjoy the femininity of it but I have too many cardigans as it is.

Every year-and I believe for most public high schools in Hawaii-we have this event called a Senior Luau and if most of you guys are familiar with luaus it's only for seniors and we ride a trolley around Waikiki before going to dinner somewhere that has a tropical atmosphere. For that I got this slip dress and I figured I would wear it with my platform sandals and a floral headband or something.

And then I took a bunch of pictures of myself when I got home. I'm an outfit repeater, I'm sorry.





And here's a video of my haul if you were interested!

Thrifting & OOTD

This is gonna be a brief post since I'm about to leave to go to yakiniku with my coworkers. I made another video on my youtube channel, link to that here.


And I got another lip product from NYX. it's the matte lip cream in San Paulo and it is lovely~ It's pigmented and has a thin formula so it feels really natural.

OOTD Pandora Wind

So I make videos now.

It hits me

Now I'm in my senior year of high school and I wish it was more easy going.

These set of pictures are from a couple of weeks ago after I went to Pearlridge with Jessica, John, and Vivian. If you remember the white JC Lita-type shoes I got before, I ended up exchanging them for these faux suede studded ones. I had such a hard time choosing from these or taupe, but black is more my style. :P





Just look at them ugh. And only $50. ♥


As well as these~ TokiDoki is shutting down their make up line and so they were 40% off at Sephora. so I got myself black and blue liquid eyeliner and a tinted lipbalm.



And this was my outfit on the first day. I like my classes and the people I sit next to I was super stoked to make new friends.

Amy helped me take these and it was so incredibly windy that day.




The bag is vintage Coach! When I went thrift shopping with Rachel at Savers I saw it there for $20 which is a lot considering it's secondhand, but still worth it! My Vans tshirt was also from Savers and I really loved the graphics on it. Reminds me of old rock band tees.
