Shopping online

I check out the website that a friend introduced me. Her brother's girlfriend own the site and she is selling clothes from Korea and Japan... You know, clothes from site like Zipia. Not sure if the quality is good but I'll be purchasing a few items through her and I can return it if I judge the quality too poor or it doesn't fit me right. I'm looking for winter clothes, mostly sweaters and a pair of warm boots! I am very difficult with boots... My first and probably last pair of boots that I absolutely love is the black platform boots that I got a few years ago. It died on me last January when I came back from work. The ziper on the left foot broke. Ah well... Kiwii was suppose to buy me winter boots but I told her to buy me sweater instead because it's easier and less expensive. Boots are hard to find especially with a crappy weather in Canada. Better have one pairs that are good for walking around with and it matches with whatever I wear.

I made a small list at what I want to buy from the website, though I won't be able to buy them all because... I don't have that much money to spend:



Yes. They all look the same in term of style... "Ahem" You see... I don't know which one I like the most. I just love the style and it's so similair to mine that I wore on my Mont Saint-Bruno trip and it's just so comfty to wear it around. Not to mention I can match with practically everything in my wardrobe.

I love this kind of jacket. Very fashionable with jeans :

It looks good: Aaah... I love this dress type sweater
I love the colors of this shirt... I wonder if I can pull it off? Good for autumn.
I love this kind of shirt... I wore one quite similair that belong to my cousin. Make me look very feminin.



I won't buy them all of course... Don't have that much money but I need to concentrate on winter clothes first!

Visit the site : http://www.e-fashion.ca

Once I receive the clothes, I will review about the quality.

Aaaarg... Oily face

Throughout the day, my skin gets pretty oily.

To solve this oil problem, I get a sheet of oil blotter sheet and press it on my face. After a sheet or two, my face feels refresh again! It's easy to use and doesn't take much time. Just put a sheet on one part of your face and press it firmly. When you see the sheet turns clear, that means it successfully absorb the extra oil. It's quite expensive for 50 sheets (~10$) but there are cheaper methods and other brands that sell them like Neutrogena, Proactiv, shiseido, Lise Watier (Forgot how to spell the last name) and many other brands.
My classes start at 2:00 pm so I have time to prepare and take a picture of my outfit today. I decided to wear shorts because it was quite warm in the afternoon. People were looking at me funny because I was the only one wearing shorts in my classes. The weather wasn't that bad and I had a jacket with me so I was okay.


Took a picture of myself with my earrings. Didn't bother to fix my hair that much.

Mont Saint-Bruno trip

I went trail hiking with my gym class today at Mont Saint-Bruno and I had fun. We were six people in our group. I also brought along my camera to capture the scenary around me, it was beautiful. I wanted to take pictures of all my group members but some don't want me to take pictures of them. I took more pictures of Myriam! Love that girl and we have so much in common! I finally found someone who is as passionate as me in traveling. She tells me to go to Vancouver with her next summer for two months to work there... Man that offer looks so good!! And I kinda promise my dear Swiss friend that I'll visit him in London next summer and I want to keep my job at Timmy. Or... I'll probably not travel anywhere next year because I want to save my money... When it comes to traveling, I get confused A LOT. Well, I have to concentrate on my studies before traveling. Remember Christina study = lots of money to travel in the future!

Before I go out, I took a few pictures of my outfit and my hair:

I didn't like my expressionless face so I tried smiling:

I tried flash and it shows my flaws. Still like the picture though.

Mont Saint-Bruno:
Myriem striking a pose!

I forgot her name but she is funny! A true quebecoise with a sense of humour.

She's making a face! So cute!




A man running with his baby in a stoller... So creative! You get to take care of your kid and work out at the same time!

The first lake we came across (Lac Du Moulin):

Chrisitna needs to whiten her teeth! The funny girl has a photogenic face, I envy her.




A private residence... It's so cool!

My love for unique bags

I love unique bags! When I was in Morocco, I purchased two bags from the souk market and one bag from a store called Bigdil.


Bags from the souk:




Bag from Bigdil:


Bags are not only useful to carry things like a purse, keys, cellphone,etc. They are also great accessories to make a simple outfit pop! That is why I try to purchase bags that has an interesting design. Whenever I have a boring outfit on that day, I just carry one of them and they complete my outfit. I bring them whenever I go out or when I don't need to bring heavy books in school on a certain day.

An anime style of me

Kiwii made an anime profile of me :


The anime is what I kind of look like including the outfit that I wore yesterday. I used to have this haircut but I cut it last Friday, I have bangs now. I wish I could show you the picture I took the first day I cut my hair. It was really straight and look so cute. I'm going to ask a friend to show me how to load picture from my cellphone to the computer.



Here another anime style of my friend S.H:

New girl on the block

This is my first ever blog... When I mean first ever, it means that I've never write a blog about my life before except money.... BUT! Money is another thing which I will not mention to often here since it's about my little progress in life.

First of all, I like to thank Angie for indirectly introduce me to this website. Initially, she just wants people to read about her life and see her load of pictures lol... I wonder if there's a limit in posting how many pictures per blog. Haha

Anyhow, I choose this blog to post because it looks perfect for me. I was not satisfied with Xanga and other websites similair to that. I guess I wasn't into it back then until now. My goal is to post as much diverse as possible in this blog because I think life is not just about luxury, clothes, hot boys,etc. It will be hard since my everyday life is repeatitive like everybody else living a normal life. However, I will try my best not be too repetitive. The reason why I set this *weird* goal is to make me get out of my little box and explore.

What you guys will mostly see in my blog is:

My search for a style that best represent me: I love clothes... ;-) ! I would like to post pictures of clothes that I've successfully mix and match. I had some outfits made out awhile ago but I never had the chance to take pictures of it. What I can say about my style; brand names are not really part of my style thus you will never see me wearing a t-shirt with Guess, Bebe or whatever. It's just not my style nor represent anyone style in particular. Why would I want to advertise their clothes anyways? I do own a few brand name things but I made sure the name is subtle enought. The clothes itself must have something that attract me especially buying at that price. I usually shop at random places that sell clothes in good quality and can easily mix and match with. I love accessories! I own many necklaces, earrings and scarves although I don't wear them to school very much because it is pretty time consuming to mix and match. If I had the time, you'll see me rocking some. My other loves are shoes and I have a habit now to look at other people shoes. If you ever come across me, don't be offended! I look at shoes if they are nice or not, I don't judge... I'm just looking *blush and smile*. Overall, I can't describe my style and I can't say that I am original. I'm just trying to find a look that satisfied me overall and not depend on trend to create a look for me.

My travelings: Traveling is my passion. I love it so much and I want to go everywhere... If only I have all the money in the world and if only the world is more easily accessible. I want to learn different cultures and get inspired... To develop my style, to broaden my view on the world, to grow... To learn about other cultures... *Daydreaming* Aaaaah... @.@ I went to Morocco last July and it was so wonderful. I'll share with you guys some pictures I took there later on.

My discoveries in my city: I like to share places that I've found interesting to share to you all. =)

My random thoughts/things I do throughout the day: I am a curious person and I need to think about little unimportant things in life.

I guess that's it for now.
