Winter is officially over here in Taiwan, so I am ready to say goodbye to the ugly cold and welcome the heat and sunshine that is coming my way! (though I will probably be fed up with the heat after a month haha) This is one of my first summer outfits of 2012, and I love it; I think it’d be great to hang out around the city, or maybe for an outdoor festival (I just wore it to go get my grad pics. I know, lame). These are my favorite shorts right now, especially because of the lovely dark wash (also my fave).

Anyway, I’m really happy that it’s finally time to start rocking shorts again! It also means though,  time to step up the work out man! haha Hope you like! xx

A couple of new things.

Last weekend, I went to the Zhongxiao Dunhua shopping area here in Taipei, originally to go buy a pair of TOM’S. There is only one official retailer here in Taiwan and it’s around that area. Before arriving at the place that sold the TOM’S we stopped by the ALDO store and, as I expected, something caught my attention.

Before telling you what it was that caught my eye, I must explain that going into that store is torture for me every time. This is mainly because I always love everything I see there, but it is so much more expensive here in Taipei than in other countries, and that puts it completely out of my budget. But when I saw these wedges I fell in love! I’ve been looking for a pair of wedges that could go with everything for months now. I love high heels, but my feet don’t; they can’t take them for too long. That is not the case for wedges,  and these ones in particular are the best thing ever, they look amazing and are incredibly comfortable. They are exactly what I was looking for. So I ended up spending much more money than I had planned, but I feel like it was worth it; they will be perfect for spring and summer :)

After leaving ALDO, and saying goodbye to my friends, I went to the metro station to go back home (I live around 45 mins from downtown Taipei). On the station they had a couple of shops, and I ran into a really cute store that had this lovely wrap watch below. I have been wanting one like this for a while and since it was fairly cheap (around 15USD) I decided to get it. I absolutely love it!

And then, on that same store they had OPI nail polishes for regular US retail price (around 7USD), so I couldn’t resist getting these two colors. I’ve been wanting to buy the “Fly” from the Nicki Minaj collection for a while, but had been hesitating because of the price (it was around 12USD at the OPI store), so when I saw it at this amazing price, I didn’t think it twice and went for it. The other color is “Dulce de Leche” and just by the name you can tell it’s amazing, but it’s also the perfect nude color which is always in, looks good with anything and can be worn on any type of occasion.

I am officially broke after that visit to ALDO, but I do not regret it. The only thing left to do, is keep making wishlists for when the money fairies decide to pay me a visit! :) Hope you like! xx

New Buy: Boyfriend Watch

New Buy: Boyfriend Watch

I have been on the search for the perfect (and affordable) gold boyfriend watch for almost a year now and I have finally found it!

For some reason, these type of watches keep getting slaughtered with an array of wannabe Swarovski crystals, and I just hate anything that has those in excess, or at all for that matter.

Here in Taiwan they seem pretty obsessed with these crystals since they seem to put it on everything they can! From tshirts, to sandals, heels, earrings, etc.

I have lost count on how many times I’ve come across an item that I think would be perfect and worth paying for, if it wasn’t for all the horrible crystals pasted on it.

But anyway, enough ranting! I’m glad I finally found the perfect one.

It’s the Fossil “Flight Plated Stainless Steel Watch – Gold-Tone”.
