T By Alexander Wang pima cotton shirt / NIKE white and black shoes, $120 / Curling mascara / Anastasia Beverly Hills highlight makeup

Clothes: Pretty simple, I bought the biggest, plainest shirt I can find at Brandy Melville that looks pretty much exactly to the one above, and I wear it everywhere. It's such an easy piece to work with-whether you're dressing up or down. For day time I usually tie the end in a knot since it's a huge ass tee and wear high waisted shorts. For night, I tuck it into some black skinny jeans but kind of untucking it so it has like a bundled look(??) and throw on a jacket and boots.

Shoes: I posted about my Nike Roche Run shoes on my last haul and I've been living in them ever since. They are super comfortable to walk around in-whether its for an hour or even 8 hours. The material on the outside also lets your feet breath fresh air so your feet don't die of sweat and smell when you take them off, which is always important to have in a good exercise shoe.

Television/Movies: You've probably seen gifs of Tina Blecher acting like her very awkward young teen self all over tumblr either talking about butts or just being plain weird. Bob's Burgers is such a hilarious show and I've already watched all four seasons in like 3 1/2 days. Hey isn't that what's summers all about? Idk.
      As for movies, I was a little hesitant about seeing Saving Mr. Banks firstly because it has Tom Hanks in it, and personally I'm not his biggest fan. Second, it's about Mary Poppins which again, I'm not the biggest fan of. But so many people recommended this movie so why not (take a crazy chance). After watching this movie, I can honestly say that I smiled so big at certain parts and even teared up at the end. As a disney fanatic, this movie just hit me in the gut and !!!! [exclamations are the only way I can express how I feel about this movie]. Now I can't stop singing Mary Poppins' songs around the house haha.

Makeup: Ooh girly stuff now. So this past month I've actually liked quite a few things. Starting off with the Benefit: They're Real! Mascara. For mascara, I don't like change. I've been sticking to the same brand of mascara for about 3 years now and I still don't plan on changing it. After hearing so many people rave about this one, I decided to get the sample on at Sephora. After using it a couple times, I can say that it does make my lashes super long and full after putting 1-2 coats on it.
     As I've probably already mentioned more than once on this blog, I am big on eyebrows. I think they're the most important thing on the face. Unfortunately, I lack in that department after a regrettable phase I went through with a tweezer and razor ( I still don't like to talk about it). After having trouble with sparseness and just lack of a left brow, I bought the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in the color Ebony. I find that with powder, it just covers the hairs you already have instead of filling in, and when you do fill in the powder rubs off after an hour. This pencil really fills in the sparse areas and adds the illusion of fuller brows, and you don't have to worry about whether half your brow has rubbed off because when you apply it, it sticks on.
     After browsing through Lush one day, I came across the Breath of Fresh Air Toner. And it literally is 'a breath of fresh air'. I spray this on one in the morning and once at night and my face feels so refreshed right after. It includes many vitamins that help improve your skin to be the best it can be!

Summer Tunes

     So today is the last day of August and I decided to make a list of all the songs I listened to during my summer vacation. Now I don't know about other people, but I'm the kind of person to listen to one song for about 3 weeks straight without getting tired of it, so this wont be the biggest list of them all but I think these songs are da cooliest. Another thing, I'm also the kind of person to have the weirdest taste in music.. seriously I love all kinds of genres (except for country and rap) so beware of extremely random likes.

Traveling | San Francisco

Hey! Long time no speak on this thingamabob :3 and I have a good reason; I took my very first adult free vacation to San Francisco *applause*. So my first experience in an airport without my parents wasn't the best because I was taken to a special room where security would pat me down because apparently I had something on my clothes that resembled explosives T.T so after that hubabaloo, we finally got on the plane and took off ^_^ ooh look at that pretty view  *w*

we landed in San Jose where we took a shuttle to our hotel, The Fairmont. When we got there, I encountered more trouble because airport security took my only ID so I was left arguing with the staff until I showed them my papers to prove I was the real me and they finally let me in my room <.< After relaxing after being emotionally stressed all morning, we left for Market St to shop around and eat and than came home and passed out. I forgot to take pictures of our room but this was the outdoor garden area, and thats me pondering the meaning of life whilst looking out the window dramatically, as all people do when they see a old fashioned window.

The next day, we had planned out so we started out by going to the Cartoon Art Museum on Mission St. and it was surprisingly interesting- I was thinking, oh this is just going to be a bunch of anime drawings and such but it was old newspapers funnys and comic book stuff (: After that we walked down an outdoor/indoor mall where I saw these cute kawaii vases ^^

Than after that, we went on the most famous tourist spot in the world- The Golden Gate Bridge. One thing I can say is oh my god it is freakin cold!! Being used to SoCal weather, I just wore a thin sweater and jeans but I regret not dressing up like an eskimo It was so foggy and cloudy, you could barely see what was in front of you while walking on the sidewalk.

Eventually we got scared that we might not ever return after walking for 20 minutes so we came back in search of human civilization. We succeeded. To treat ourselves to a very tiring walk, we came across a small macaroon shop at the Market St. mall and bough ourselves some lovely and delicious french pastries

After walking around the mall, I spotted a familar store I used to love and I soon fell in love with it again because of these KAWAII  LLAMAS  ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

After that we traveled through China town and got some Bubz beauty inspired facial products ^_^

The next day was probably the best day which was when we went to Pier 39. OH my gosh, that is the funnest place ever. There are so many shops and food stands and fun houses and its just a great kid place (and im a kid so I obviously loved it). I got 2 churros, a bag of donuts, a cheese filled pretzel and a snickers. I was very happy. 

We saw the pier and the Alcatraz and it was the most relaxing day. After that we went on a double decker bus and took a tour all around Sf so we  wouldn't have to walk anymore. May I saw it was on of the best decisions ever because it was so incredibly cool!! 

We pretty much saw everything from City Hall, to the Full House house, the Mrs. Doubt fire house, Haight and Ashbury, Golden Gate Bridge, Market St, Union St, etc. We got off at Union St. to shop at all the little boutiques and to go to a burger place we've heard loads about-Umami Burger.

It was a very delicious burger but I can't say that it's better than The Counter burgers I've had because those are delicious! After we took a taxi to Embarcadero St. and walked around the pier and saw the Bay Bridge light up at night which was super pretty! 

I just got back today so overall I give my trip a 9/10 ((: I love San Francisco and I plan on living there after community college to hopefully go to Berkley or Davis<3 Im gonna head off now, I'm so excited to sleep in my own bed again ^_^ Goodnight or Good morning- wherever you are (:
