Hello everyone :) I was gone for the past 3 weeks and was in Hong Kong for 2 weeks and china for a week, it was so much fun spending time with my family there and of course the all the shopping! I was actually back on Thursday but due to the 15 hour flight >.> I was pretty much just sleeping my ass off the past couple of days. xD Now then lets get on with the haul!
Well let me start off with the clothes I bought, but first off I apologize for the horrible lighting in my room. Well I brought back alot of clothes with me on this trip (but some were gifts for my birthday on July 13th) mostly t-shirts and long sleeved sweaters ( top middle) and some cute lacy bras I got in a market place in china. I also got a pink and white dress with loose sleeves( bottom middle) and a lace scarf (top middle). I also got 2 crop tops with holes in them one pink and one a cream color :)
Here is also a shirt a got from my aunt for my birthday and some jeans she gave me, apparently washed/tie dyed sort of jeans are really in fashion now over there, I also got 2 bags from my Grandma a pink one and a blue one, very cute. :) Then I got a little kuromi bag, which I'm planning on using for packing my bento boxes from now on. I also got a Harajuku girls backpack for school.
Shoes!!! I also got 3 pairs of shoes, the imitation roxy ones on the left, the cute flowery sandals in the middle, and the really cute imitation converse I got at a marketplace in china. (only $4 USD!!!!)
Accessories!!! (ha ha the long orange thing is a bendable headband and the pink things on the bottom are to hold your hair back)
Now moving on to makeup and cosmetics, which I didn't get a lot of this time around surprisingly.
(nail polishes above I got at sasa)
Some my Beauty Diary masks :) I love this brand! I got the royal jelly mask, the hello kitty strawberry milk mask and the chocolate truffle sheet mask.
Liese Hair color in Sweet pink.
Skin food products( rice mask, ginseng mask and Black sugar bubble foam. I've been meaning to try there products for awhile I've heard some many good things about them and plus they were having a promotion so I got these 3 items for a discounted price and the lady helping us was pretty nice (and a tad persistant) and gave us some samples to try. :)
a sheet mask from h &m a shampoo and some princess lashes.
This is what I was most excited about! I got this for my birthday from my mom, it's the jill stuart color compact in 06 and I love it!!!! (it's so sleek I'm afraid to use it!) xD
and lastly a dolly wink eye shadow palette in no 0.03 blue and orange, a cream cheek blush from canmade in no 14 and a Majolica Majorica palette in GR750.
So That's all the Make up and fashion stuff I bought and here's just some other random stuff I got that aren't really related.
Let me just say the strawberry things on the top are hair curlers and the pig thing on the bottom is a flashlight. The smiling buns you see near the bottom are squishy cell phones charms and were only 10 HKD!!!
I hope Liked this not so little haul of mine! See you next time!!!

Hello fellow bloggers! :) On Thursday I packed my bags and headed to the beautiful city of Chicago once again, usually when we come here its just so my mom can stock up on some stuff in chinatown and go shopping there. I really wanted to go downtown this time but we only had a day and a half to get some shopping done x/ oh well maybe next time. First of all let me tell you a little bit about chinatown, it's very not big but its a very nice cultural community right in the middle of the bustling city offering a wide variety of foods and gifts.(and because of this it has become a popular tourist location)
day 1: We arrived at 3:00 so we ate a late lunch and decided to go to Joy kee noodle in the chinatown square which was famous for their noodle soups, asian cuisine(including thai,korean, vietnamese and chinese) and blended drinks(My favorite place to get them) ;)
i ordered a quote "small" bowl of pho beef noodle soup but as always they had huge portions! I also had the pan friend omlette with scallions and osters, very sweet and fluffy! I just had to try another drink from there extensive menu so i choose the passion fruit tea with lychee jelly( which later on my mom commented it being too sweet) lol xD
After that we did a little browsing and checked into our hotel, we stayed at the South loop hotel just 5 minutes away from chinatown. Then we did a little more shopping and ended up eating at the Triple crown restaraunt it had a very nice atmosphere and there was also live seafood on display:) We ended up getting some chef's special fried rice which was really good and topped with dried shredded pork, very nice texture. We also ordered pan seared beef with onions and crispy crunchy soft shelled crab. When we were ready to end the night i got another smoothie to go, this time a mango one with tapioca pearls ;D
Day 2:
I woke up bright and early due to my parents and brother's endless snoring >.< and had some nice hotel coffee before we headed out the door. We ended up wandering around aimlessy waiting for the dim sum places to open and foun a place called siuh wah, also in chinatown square. We had an array of dim sum that consisted of chicken feet(which is quite nice to all u doubters out there), deep fried squid,fish balls, shrimp dumplings and some fish congee which was very nice with the crispy fried dough sticks.
Then we did some serious shopping which involved me and my mom shopping while my dad and my brother carry our bags XD For lunch we stopped at Hing kee which was famous for there hand pulled noodles and sushi. I ordered some sashimi and miso soup along with a taro bubble tea. Our shopping spree continued well into the night and for dinner we went to lee win wah which is one of our favorite restaurants that serve very traditional and yummy chinese food. We ordered the peeking duck which came with the buns to be stuffed with the crispy skin and meat and the duck meat all stir fried with veggies. we also had the fried calamari and sardines, soft shelled crab, and chicken lo mein. As an end to our day it decided to rain on us so of course we got soaked, lol what a perfect way to end our trip. Well i hope you enjoyed my sharing hope to see u soon!
(pictures below, sorry there such bad quality! all taken on my crappy phone xD and I couldn't get them all online for some reason:( )
