Black Raspberry Vanilla

One of my middle school friends gave me a Black Raspbery Vanilla lotion from Bath and Body Works on my 13th birthday (or maybe it was my 14th). I fell in love with the scent and continued to use it until I was 21. (Yes, I used it for eight years STRAIGHT) I found other scents fun and yummy, but I never strayed and kept on using this one. Now, people might just say that I am afraid of change, but I prefer to think that Black Raspbery Vanilla is just that good.

They're also $10.50 (or perhaps $11.00) for a bottle. Bath and Body Works often have a buy two get one free sale so if you combine it with other products, it would be defnitely worth it, since you can mix and match the scents and products. They also work as a substitute for perfumes - they're lighter and not so in your face but the lotion leaves a slight smell on you. Yaay!!

I've actually ventured out to other scents in the Bath and Body Works body lotion line in the past year, and I'm enjoying them more than I thought. So maybe change is good sometimes!

mini update

I am currently out of the country and let me tell you this: I've seen a ot of interesting fashion here... some I would never dream to try, others that id love to try out :) I get a week out from work and it feels imcredible, despite my intense jetlag. sadly, I am without a laptop sinice it was sent in for repairs so I wasn't able to bring my laptop along to update y'all on all of the foots I (have yet to) take. I hope everyones week is starting off well!

Splashing Water

I went to the beach last weekend with my friends and got tanner than I have in a long, long time. 

The thing is, I've kind of run out of bathing suits so I wore my old one that I got like five years ago. Which got me thinking about a new bathing suit... 

Vineyard Vines Starfish String Bikini

I love the pink, navy, and white and also the starfish. It's so summery and very classic and classy.

Target Mossimo Swimsuit

I like Target because they have such good priced cute options. At the same time though, finding cute bathing suits in-store is a little harder, especially if you wear a common size. But online, they are so adorable!!! Definitely worth checking out :-)

Victoria's Secret Gorgeous Push-up Halter Top 

Not going to lie... I'm not a big fan of push-up bras or push-up bathing suits. But the colour and the ribbon is so adorable! I wish they had another style for this bathing suit without the push-up factor in it. Sad times!

J.Crew Polka-Dot Twist-Front Bandeau

I just love the polka-dots, the red, and the twist-front style! As usual, J.Crew does not let you down with their style. It's so... summery. 

I guess I'm more into the pink/red theme this summer. Although since it's almost mid-July, it does make me reconsider getting a new bathing suit. Maybe I should wait  until the end of summer sale to get a new bathing suit for next year. Thrifty shopper, no? 

Which one is your favourite? 

Seafood Miracle

If someone asked me what my favourite food was, I would probably say makis (most people would know this as the rolled version of sushi). I am not a big fan of fish, but for some odd reason, I love raw fish. Weird, right? Anyways, I don't feel as guilty when I eat it (even though there's plenty of spicy mayo in many types of sushi), unlike other foods I like (such as Tim-Tams and ahem, McDonalds' fries). I also like the combination of rice, fish, and seaweed with sometimes the tempura flake crunchies thrown in the middle. Yum. Also, the presentation of each plate by the chefs is just amazing- they're so stylish with it!

Even though makis are so far from how sushi originally started out in Japan, the combination and perfect balance of different colours and also just the taste makes me a fan for life.

Covert Affairs

Tonight is the third season premiere of the TV series on USA, Covert Affairs! My favourite parts of the show is definitely the clothes and the different locations of each episode. 

I'm excited for the third season even though I don't even think the show is that good. It's odd since I don't think it's that good but I'm fascinated by it for some odd reason. The plot tends to bounce a little bit between episodes but each episode works well by itself, so I kind of think of it as a more sporadic Law and Order. 

As I said before, the part of the reason why I like this show is because I like Piper Perabo's costumes. It's just always so... classy.

All photos from the Covert Affairs Facebook Page

I'm just a huge fan of all of her dresses that she wears. She wears a lot of shirt dresses as well, and I really love seeing them. I like the second grey dress and the third one. 

She also wears smashing evening/cocktail dresses (sadly, I could not find a picture of it on the Facebook Page). She also wears black suits a lot too (but you would think that those are kind of boring, right?) but some of her suits are the perfect styles so it's okay. 

She also wears clothes that I would never be able to pull off but she pulls em off damn well. 

I also like watching it for business casual attire ideas as well, haha. 

Although I can't lie, there are some gooood looking men on this show. Covert Affairs is definitely worth checking out if you haven't already ;-) 

Coral Pink Dress

I love this picture. In my attempt to crazily procrastinate my paper, I stumbled upon this lovely little foto. I've always been a fan of coral pink, but the combination of the beach, the head..dress? thing? ring? (haha), the girl, and the beautiful coral pink dress goes oh-so-nicely! 

A girl who my sister knew passed away last summer and her favourite colour was coral pink. Although I didn't know her personally, this picture made me think of her.

Anywhoo, I love walking on the beach, but it usually involves me yelping and jumping because I just can't handle walking on the hot sand... I suppose I am just not fit for beaches haha. I'm sure if I walked closer to the water or during the early evening I would be fine though.

The End of the World

I recently saw the movie "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" with Steve Carell and Keira Knightley. I was interested in seeing the movie because of the odd combo of Steve Carell and Keira Knightley. I mean, Carell is usually "COMEDY!!!" and Keira Knightley has more of a classic air around her. I thought it would be a comedy but towards the end, the movie became more serious. Anywhoo, I enjoyed the movie but not as much as I thought I would. I feel like it had a couple of unanswered questions. But oh well.

ANYWAYS

This movie got me thinking: What would I do for my last three weeks before the world ends?

I would...

1.) Go see my extended family
2.) See all of my friends (even ones from prep school)
3.) Go to Greece
4.) Go to Morocco
5.) Go to Sydney again
6.) And go to everywhere else I'd like to go to :)
7.) Shop my heart out ;-)
8.) Eat all I want (I eat a lot)
9.) Change my nail polish colour every day (hahaha this one is kind of a joke!) 

...Oh my. I'm not that ambitious, am I? haha
I like to think that I live every day without regrets- which is why I don't have anything special for when the world ends ;-)

My boyfriend (jokingly) said that he'd steal a plane and travel the world. Though probably impossible, I feel like it'd be so romantic and also fun (as long as you could fly a plane...?)!


Anyways, what would you do if the world ended in three weeks?
