NARS concealer, Shiseido moisturizer, Kiehl's eye cream, Deborah Lippmann Rolling in the Deep, Givenchy 202 Rose Dressing, Philosophy face cleanser, Diptyque Figuier, Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia, MUFE brow gel, UD palette
Sephora VIB 20% off sale is near (Thursday Nov. 7 to Tuesday Nov. 11 to be precise.) So I've been thinking about what to get. This is a good list for one-of-each...right? (Kiehl's and Diptyque not sold at Sephora.) *must narrow down* Things that are absolutely necessary - that concealer (my under-eye circles are larger than my eyes), moisturizer (mine is too old probably full of bacteria), and that face wash (current smaller version running out shortly). Though I'm pretty sure I'll come up with excuses to buy more stuff.
Route to world domination continues with learning about local barnacle distribution/zonation on the Atlantic coast of New England and with the ongoing memorization of 70 paintings and their associated facts.
*11/10 update: I bought the concealer, face wash, eyeshadow palette, and got a moisturizer for free! Weee! Labels: beauty, wanted

It's is pretty much the end of summer. 'Bout time to do a "summarizing" photo post. (PUN INTENDED)
It was a rainy day at the wedding as I recall. Even though I took lots of out-door photos, only a few of them turned out OK. The location was really beautiful though. Oh, I also really love how the giant chandelier light photo turned out straight from the camera. The color is perfect!
And I most definitely attempted at a Chanel Couture mani.
There's this kind of fragranced flower called orchid cacti that blossoms only one night each year. Fortunately, over a dozen of them at my house bloomed for two nights all together. They are quite lovely.
It is pretty amazing how my little camera captured all these. I'm still delighted about that last photo...I thought it came out too bright with the flashes and all...
Lastly but not least, my overly adjusted photo of a whole bunch of these flowers. My front door isn't all that attractive. And I thought this effect was pretty cool!Labels: beauty, music, photography, travel

I know I have only done 1/3 of the studying that I'm supposed to do today...but it's Want Wednesday and there's nothing that can prevent me from doing a post! Today, there will be Zara clothes & accessories (as usual), accessories from other brands, and beauty items (nail polish AND others!).
This week, Zara offers more "tropical" items that I adore! My favorite one is this silk (yes! real silk!) shirt that is beyond gorgeous.
Next up are some Zara dresses that I adore. The first dress has an adorable hem and amazing drawstring details in the back. The second one is really vintage looking! I love it. It looks like some wedding dress in an indie movie.
On to accessories! I meant to post this a while ago, but I'm really in love with transparent stuff on outfits. In this case, there's the "vinyl" Zara bag. I saw similar transparency stuffs in a clutch (ahh forgot the brand!) and the Miss Sicily purse by Dolce&Gabbana. There's nothing chic-er than showing the world what you are carrying right?! :PPP I also love this leather clutch by Werelse x Mango Touch. Werelse is a new clothing brand created by three of the bloggers I follow - Chiara of The Blond Salad, Carolina of Fashion Squad, and Andy of Style Scrapbook. This collaboration came out two weeks ago & I like most of the pieces. However this cuff is my fav!
More transparent stuff and Werelse...why didn't I regroup these? Too much effort...Anyway. Here are some shoes that I'm digging...
Beauty products! Summer IS here! If you are afraid of getting skin cancer (or freckes, or uneven skin tones, or sun burn...) from tanning (don't even mention tanning bed...those are the worst!), put these on and you are good to go!
Lastly but not least, nail polish!
OPI Holland Collection Thanks A Windmillion $8.50 // Essie Navigate Her $8.00
How gorgeous are these "girls"! I pretty much want to try all of them. Someone...swatch them please?
I have also been posting some other fashion finds that I'm drooling over on my Pinterest fashion board. Go check it out! :P

Happy "Want" Wednesday! After finishing up my crappy history paper at 8 this morning and writing my chemistry lab report minutes before it was due, I am bringing you some new finds from this past week. Some of the Zara items are out of stock because I actually wanted to post them last time when I was posting the heels. :( Zara never restocks so most of them are buy-it-or-miss-it. You can notice them as the ones that I don't have links to.
First of all, Zara's blazer in my favorite color! It's just plain awesome. And looks like its good for any season (when not cold)! Pair it with pastels, denim, or maybe as a formal wear. Those shorts are uber cute too.
Since I'm going to a wedding this summer, I've been looking at dresses that I can possibly wear there. And I came across this Zara dress that looks super cute. It's more of a casual summer dress I guess. But I'm loving the lacey details! (Oh btw, prolly wearing a dress that I've worn before to the wedding though...)
I know I'm showing all Zara stuffs...but here's a little bit of divergence! Here are two pair of Zara pants/jeans and a pair of T by A Wang sweatpants that I'm really loving. Check out how awesome the dyed jeans are!!!!! Perfect for spring! A blogger that I follow, Carolina Engman of Fashion Squad, wore a similar pair of the printed pants. Tropical! :D Last but not least, Rumi Neely of Fashiontoast wore a similar pair of sweatpants a while ago when she paired them with a casual blazer. Yay for non-tacky ways of wearing sweatpants! But of course, they can be worn in super casual sleep-in looks as well.
I definitely need to buy more shorts for summer! These are two super cute pairs with crochet/lace details! Lovely.
Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller (link on the l) did another collaboration with Dannijo! Here are some super amazing eye-spy (:D) necklaces that I love. Too bad they cost more than all my clothes combined.
*all product pictures are from their online shops.
There are also nail polishes that I want, of course. I stole all the swatch photos from my (cyber)friend & amazing blogger Eugenia Ragas of ommorphia beauty bar (and cropped them a little). So, photo credit to her! But these are all from some new super amazing polish collections. Clockwise from top-left: Butter London Disco Biscuit, Butter London Knackered over a-england Camelot (black), OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and OPI Just Spotted the Lizard (pretty much the same as Chanel Peridot).
