Scandinavia Haul

Long time no blog! I've been away on a 4 week holiday to Scandinavia! Before I've already been MIA due to tests and laziness. I'll try to pick up the blogging again but I can't guarantee anything >_<"

My resolution was to not buy anything in Scandinavia (also because it would be expensive) BUT I couldn't resist sale items and the jacket I bought was necessary so... scold me afterwards.

Our first stop was in Germany: Bremen. There was a Primark in Bremen but daddy didn't want to go because it was so far away =(

There was a Tally Weijl in Bremen and there was sale so we took a look around. And I found these 3 t-shirts for a bargain. Seriously it was super cheap.

This strawberry t-shirt was super cheap! Only €3,- At first I didn't want to buy anymore t-shirts because I already have a lot  (well, at least I call it a lot) But my sister practically convinced me to get it, and it was only €3,- anyway so why not? 

This was the 2nd t-shirt I picked out. €3,- or €5,- either way, a bargain. The bunny is so cute, and I can actually wear this as a t-shirt dress since it's this long on me. 

On top of the already reduced items. There was also a buy 3 get 1 for free (the cheapest will be free) And since I already had 3 t-shirts, why not buy a 3rd one, which will be FREE (Yay I love free stuff!) This was either €3,- or €5,- (I remember 2 t-shirts were €3,- and one was €5,- but I don't remember which, only sure that the strawberry one is €3,-) The mouse is cute right?

Then we walked to the H&M because we saw there was sale over there as well ^^. And then I bought this cropped t-shirt.

I saw this t-shirt in another H&M in Holland but it was still for normal price, and I thought it was a bit too pricey for what you get, and it wasn't like I really, really wanted this cropped t-shirt. But now it was only €5,- which was: bargain, score! 

Figured I had bought enough that day and tried to stop myself from buying more stuff. In the evening we ate delicious Thai food at Pochana. It was delicious. absolutely lovely! We ordered the Masaman curry (since we didn't know what it was) Green curry and Yellow curry. All three were delish! Nom nom. The wait was kinda long but it was worth it. And the toilets were super clean! They had a self-changing toilet seat cover O_O like super clean! Felt super bloated afterwards, but happy that I'd eaten some real good Thai food.

The next day we went to Lübeck and I didn't buy anything! *proud* And after Lübeck we stopped in Copenhagen, and since it was Sunday there were almost no shops open =( Bummer. But I must say Copenhagen is a nice city ^^

Next stop was Stockholm. Stockholm has a lot of shops. But! I had to restrain myself to not buy too much. Though I did end up buying a pair of checked shorts. 

These were 150 SEK (which is around €13) I like checked shorts and the colour combi is nice. The fabric is quite thick (though not as thick and "stiff" as real denim fabric, but thicker than you would expect) It fits me almost perfect (Yay, even though my waist is quite tiny) and it's just so comfy and cute. This was from a store called BikBok (nice store, didn't know it until then)

The first day in Stockholm was beautiful weather, the next day: Rain =(

After we Stockholm we drove to Norway. I managed to not buy stuff until Ålesund (correct spelling?) where I bought a pink baseball jacket.

I've been wanting a baseball jacket, but a lot of people already wear a red one (you know all those standard colours) but I haven't seen anyone (in my region) with a pink one yet, so I thought: Score! It was a pity it didn't have a fleece lining but I still like it anyway. I was kinda hesitant about buying it at first because I felt bad spending more money (I already spent so much =() but I still ended up buying it >_<" bad me. This was 150 NOK (not too bad I guess?)

We also went to the Dale factory near Bergen. I saw a nice hoodie for 930 NOK which was waterproof. BUT I didn't buy it in the end because it was a bit too pricey for me (Norwegian sweaters are expensive =() and I was afraid I wouldn't wear it often...

Anyway I bought some high-waisted shorts in I think Andalsnes? At the BikBok (such a nice shop with good sale!)

Only 100 NOK! Me likey, but now I have to stop buying shorts xd lol I have like 9 pairs or so.

Because we couldn't go to Oslo we stopped at Hamburg (Germany) before going home =(. I had never been to Hamburg but the shops are quite good I must say!

I needed a new jacket for spring/autumn so I bought this in the sale. My dad practically dragged me to the part they sold jackets because there was like a big sale. This jacket was reduced from €120 to €28.79! He was like, buy it it looks so good on you it fits you and it's cheap! (Lol, dad is a cheapass Asian) but I do like the jacket, it's not too long and it has pockets, and it's the kinda jacket I wanted to have ^^

I also bought this pair of jeans. They are from the Miss Sixty. And honestly I didn't need anymore jeans but for some reason my dad and sis keep pushing me into buying more and saying afterwards: "If you have so much WHY ARE YOU BUYING?!" Tche it's all their fault  (lol at smiley) But I like the colour of the jeans and the little detail in the knee area. I was surprised it fits me because usually my big thighs are a huge problem (that's why I need to slim down those bad ass thighs) =-= but luckily this is stretch so it does fit ^^. The jeans were reduced to €40.

I also bought a pair of earrings (stars) but I didn't take a good picture >_<" so no picture. They were only €2 so I thought... Why not?

Ending my haul now. I'm sorry for the long post with lotsa pictures (notice how I got lazy near the end) and sorry if the pictures look kinda boring >_<" After all the editing I don't feel like putting on any special effects (even more time consuming)

I will try not to procrastinate as much as I did (probably is due to the fact that editing costs a lot of time, even though I do it in a noobish way).. BTW I even took pictures of the stuff I bought in Paris but that was like LONG ago,,, doesn't make a lot of sense to blog about it now right?

Well, all's well ends well...

xoxox

Purchased stuff Cambridge

Onto the REAL Haul now ^^ Finally

Perfect high-waisted shorts?

I like the buttons ^^. Sorry for the fuzzy picture >_<

So starting off with my Primark purchases. When I saw these shorts I was like: "OMG, I NEED THESE!" But then the size issues came, I couldn't find a UK size 8 >_<! But luckily a friend of mine found size 8 (which is actually still a bit big... but these shorts were just amazing I had to have it and it's not like it's way and WAY to big ^^. I've been looking for high-waisted shorts for quite a while (still looking for more, I think I'm hooked!) and these were just perfect ^^ the buttons are also very pretty. I remember the shorts being £10.00

Cute~!

When I saw this cardigan I just fell in love with the hearts <3 it's not just your ordinary grey cardigan, no it also has cute hearts in different colours. I bought a couple of sizes bigger because I like oversized cardigans (it's not a drama when you buy cardigans a bit bigger I think) and because I practically ran away with this one (when I went to look for the price, because this one didn't have a price tag I couldn't find it anymore so I guess this was the last one?) I think it cost £12.00 or so? Between £12.00 and £15.00?

I also bought over-knee socks, but I forgot to take pictures of them so yeah. Anyway, I'm wearing them in my OOTD which I posted yesterday so take a look there if you want. If not, I'll try to describe it: They were one size, but I figured since I'm so tiny they'll definitely be over-knee (I've been wanting to have over-knee socks, because the knee high were too short in my personal opinion,,, I expected them to be over-knee when they weren't) the colour is grey and it has small bows all over the socks.

I also bought this nail polish. I've been wanting to buy a Coral colour for quite a while and now I have it and I loveee it =) I think the price was £3.00 but I'm not sure anymore >_<

Bad picture >_< Sorry!

And last but not least I have bought a Cambridge sweater in Light Blue. It's sort of a tradition in our school to buy a Cambridge sweater when going to Cambridge so, of course I had to have one as well! It's so nice and warm and comfy. They have a lot of colours but I already knew I would want something Violet or Light Blue and so I went for Light Blue. At first I tried on the XS (since I'm tiny) but my head was too big and I had a hard time putting out my sweater >_<. I was afraid I had the same problem with the S but I have a good method now and I don't have any problems. Luckily the S doesn't look too big on me. It's oversized but not that much. I bought the sweater on the market, because the teachers said it's cheaper there, but later I found a shop where it was cheaper (£15.00) The sweater on the market cost £20.00.

Yay for me who has done 3 straight days of blogging. I drafted a lot, so that's probably why =) I'm sure that I won't be able to keep this up anymore. Especially with a test week in 2 weeks. I know I'm going to pass my 3rd year, but yeah... Parents always have their expectations and I must say: I will be bothered if I don't do well in some subjects... 

I think next week is going to be a peaceful week, or at least I hope... I'm going to make a present for my sister, I'm afraid I'm running out of time so maybe I should spend my free time on that...? Maybe not a lot of blogging anyway =((?

Argh, gotta do homework now, actually... Stop procrastinating...

xxx

PS. I hope when it's summer holiday I have the motivation to create my own layout and create a new banner (this one sucks and the layout looks a bit childish weird,,, idk) so yeah... bear with it for a while >_<????

My trip to Cambridge~

I'm ashamed... I haven't blogged in almost 2 months! *hits herself* Shame Shame Shame... That's way and way too long, I know. But now I'm trying to get back on track again. I have many hauls to do, but it'd be boring if I'd only blog about hauls, so I'm going to try and bring in some variety. There are also some reviews coming up =) Anyway, moving on...

My school organises a trip to Cambridge for all the bilingual students every year. And then we go for 5 days with the 2 bilingual classes. This year it was my turn =D Yeahhh! We did have to go to school in the morning (which was a new experience but also kinda boring sometimes =-=" but yeah..) and in the afternoon we could go shopping and in the evening we had some activities.

The first day me and my friends got lost many times >_< Yes, I'm a n00b in roads... But I blame the buses!

In the evening we went bowling in the Cambridge Leisure Centre. I came in 2nd place with my friend. (But I could've been 2nd place on my own >_< ! ARgh if only I didn't miss my target...) Anyway, after the bowling we could go into the "gambling" section. I didn't waste my money on that~ luckily. One of my friends got a very cute Yoshi cuddly toy (stuffed animal?) using the grab machine thingy. The Toad also looked very cute, only his head was too heavy, so it was practically impossible for us to get Toad out =( Bummer...

Students from my class loved the Air Hockey section xd lol, so much fun! Students VS. Teachers  .

The 2nd day me & friends rushed to the Primark. I'll show my purchases down below. We had to catch the movie quite early (movie was in Cambridge Leisure Centre), in fact we were late and at first we weren't allowed to go in anymore, but the teachers got the boss and we managed to get in. We could choose between 2 movies: Water for Elephants and Thor in 3D. I wished I had chosen for Thor, because... Seriously... I thought Water for Elephants sucked >_< There was too much violence (it became quite annoying in the end) and I thought it was kinda weird...

Me no likey his movie >_<!

Afterwards some went to the gambling part again. Me & friends who stayed at the same host family figured we'd take an 'early' bus "home" but in the end it was still quite late by the time the bus finally came >_<.

The 3rd day was our "day off" (at least the morning was free of activities) (we could sleep in a little) and on the 3rd day I bought my Cambridge sweater (tradition!) and had Starbucks Frap (nomnomnomnom) I visited Poundland xd lol, but didn't buy anything. In the afternoon we had to visit, ultra-boring museums. *sigh* and afterwards we went Punting. Yay for me who (in the end) was able to punt ^^ with a bit of practice you can manage. Though it caused lotsa muscle pain in my arms >_< arm flab. The evening was free, and an opportunity to eat at our host family. Eating chips (French Fries) >_< arrr.

On the 4th day we had Formal dinner at St. Catharines. The food was OK, not delicious, not gross (even though most people thought the food was gross).

The 5th day we still had 1 lesson and we received our certificate. And we left Cambridge between 13.30 and 14.00 I think. Being home felt kinda sad because I loved Cambridge, but home is always good I guess ^^.

Yes I'm trying to keep up the blog, and when you start again the ideas keep coming and coming. But working out the ideas can be very time lurking >_< and I've been very busy lately, there was a period when I had 1 test a day and I feel like the past couple of months have been about working out only >_< I've been quite active in one way and lazy in the other way.

I've been failing my toning workout part. But I've started running/jogging for 45 min. every morning (=> resulting in getting up at 5.35) some days I'm just too tired to do anything... and sometimes I just skip running but I try to run as much as possible, otherwise I'll never lose weight and get the "dream-body" as to say...

Maybe I should work more in the weekends at midnight xd... Or should I get more sleep~!

xoxo Stay well

The Sleepy Ninja addicted to Cupcakes and all unhealthy stuff~

OK, OK, one picture to close it all,,, of me eating a toast with a big layer of jam (SUGAR!!!)

Yes I look tired, I didn't sleep a lot and the bed was a bit weird but yeah xd Cambridge sweater =D?

Haul time again~

Hiya guys, I'm back >.< I quickly want to get started with my haul time and I'll blabber afterwards, okay? *wink* *wink*

Anyway, it's not that much, in my opinion, but I do feel like it's worth showing =) On to my first item...

The Body Shop Facial Cleanser in Passion Fruit. Smells absolutely YUMMY! The packaging is made from recycled plastic, so yay! I don't know how much it cost... I forgot. It was either €5.00 or €8.00 I know quite the difference but I just forgot =') and also I didn't buy it in a regular store but in outlet, so there's a possibility that the price will differ. 

Up next are....

Shoes!! =) Was so happy with these. Though the heel is not super high, they're still very cute and elegant, in my opinion. Real leather and that's why the price was quite high... Uhm... €79.00 (I think) in outlet, though. But they fit so well and they are so elegant~! Me likes! Shoes were from Salamander, not sure in which countries there are Salamander stores but I do know they are in Germany, but yeah.. they were outlet anyway so... Btw, excuse me for the light pictures... they were taken with flash >.<.. late at night

Next is this cute hat from the brand Jane Norman (bought at V&D, Dutch warehouse). The tag says it's a doggy hat but I don't know what kind of animal it actually is... xd lol. Original price was €13.00 but I bought it for €9.00. Cute, right~! Jane Norman is also available in the UK (I think, since the tag also displays pounds) and has a website http://www.janenorman.com but I personally think most of the items are quite expensive...

Next items are bought quite a while ago, but still worth showing? =D

More Dr. Organic =D YAYAYAYA. I've been looking for a serum and when I found this I was like... BUY! Review will be coming up ;) just so you know. I forgot the price ;$ shame on me...

And last up a Yes to Tomatoes cleanser... this was when I still needed a cleanser so I bought this (didn't buy The Body Shop one yet...) I also forgot the price >.< was quite long ago so...

Anyway,,, I'm lazy... and I need to do homework so I'll end it here >.<

xoxo

Mini-haul

While I was in hospital my sister went to Action again and got me some stuff. There are only 3 items but I took quite a lot of pictures to show details and so on.

Starting off with:

A bag with apples in different colours. It may look kinda childish, but I think without the belt-like thing it would already be a lot less childish (so let's remove it =D). Don't know how expensive it was. Even though I'm still absolutely in love with my Protest bag I do think I'll use it for shopping days, because it's smaller (on the other hand, having a big bag is also handy?) Oh, I just don't know when I'll use it xd >.<

And another bag. This one's with hearts. I think this one is more "adult-like" but not completely. Ah well, I'd carry it anyway. But anyway, I really like the hearts, they look so cute. And I think it's really good that the belt-like thing is metal: makes it a lot less cheap-looking.

Lastly, she bought house shoes for me. I've been wanting to buy house shoes for a while, but I've been quite picky. The print is really cute and the pom poms are just awesome. She bought size 41 but her motto was: "Well, the baggier it is, the nicer?" and I actually don't mind because it's baggy anyways, even if it was the right size. My feet were cold before but now I have these awesome house shoes to keep 'em warm. Yeah.

Something random, the day before yesterday I watched some Pokémon, just for fun xd and the ending... OMG it's SO CUTE!! PIKACHU! So cute,,, moe moe kyun~!

I also want to play Pokémon Black or White. I've been playing Pokémon Pearl over the past week, but I haven't finished it yet >.< Can't beat the champion and I want to catch Mespirit/Mesprit(?) but I got impatient and didn't want to chase it down anymore. And it's so difficult to catch >.< but so cute.

Anyway, I'm afraid I can't blog a lot coming week. I just have SO much catching up to do... Really, it's insane... but I do have things to blog about =) many things, I guess and hope...

So, Keep Praying for Japan, visit bubzbeauty's blogtv and donate! Donate to a fund of which you know all the money will be used correctly: to help Japan! Keep praying!!

xoxo stay well!

Fashion Haul!

I went fashion shopping today! And there were huge SALES! So happy, because I've found some great stuff. And btw, I think I really am starting to love doing hauls ^^

All Stars! My 2nd pair. Before I saw these shoes I was like: "Ah well, I won't buy any All Stars anymore" But these were so cool. I think they look better when you actually wear them but still! Original price was €74.95 but I got it for €35,-

T-shirt from the Forever 18. They have amazingly cute t-shirts. I looove them! This one is so cute! I walked in and I immediately saw this one and I was like: "I wanna have that!" The panda is so cute, right? It cost me €7.99 not too expensive, but not a sales item.

2 Pullovers from Pimkie! Also very happy with these. I also wanted to buy the blue pullover in wine red colour, but they only had it in M, which was extremely oversized but the blue one is very nice as well, basic and oversized, something I wanted.
The Nordic print pullover cost me €12,- originally €24.97 or so..? And the blue pullover was €7,- and originally €24.97. They're nice and warm and feel quite soft

I forgot the name of the shop where I bought this, but I'm sure you can find it in many places, only not for this price, I think. I didn't really need a new lip butter, but I thought since it's only €2,- anyway AND it's organic and all, why not? It smells nice.

If you look really well you can find amazing things in sale. But usually it's the big sizes that are left, which is not very convenient for me >__<

But I had a nice shopping day, though I am kinda tired now. So I think I'm going to sleep soon.
