My Girl - Quay Australia sunglasses

After a month or so of waiting for these babies to be back online,  I finally got them!

Shipping to Canada took about a week. They shipped with USPS and I didn't receive any duties /customs! (Something which I've always had bad luck with...)

Super excited to wear them when the sun comes back up.

Came in a cute little box. I actually ordered both the Tortoise shell and the My Girl in black,  but the black hasn't made its way to my front door yet. 

Reveal!! 

Some close up shots. 

Can't wait to take them outside!

I am now patiently (not really) waiting for the My Girl - Black! 

Desserts at Cha Me cha

After visiting for the first time two weeks ago,  I've gone back to Cha Me Cha a few more times.  The mango tango is my favourite flavour.

Available in many different flavours including taro, green tea, sesame and many other delicious combinations, I can see why this place is always busy.  The first time we had to wait 30 minutes, I've waited 45 minutes to be seated before.  If you go on weekdays, there's usually no wait.

My first visit: Mango tango and some popcorn chicken (which is also delicious).

That same week, I dragged my friends to try it out. We got the Green tea shaved ice, regular shaved ice where you pick your own toppings, and of course I got a mango slush.





This is the Mango Tango (they ran out of vanilla ice cream, so they substituted with green tea ice cream) and this time it came with mango bubbles.

Zara sale !

Hello!

The summer Zara sale started last Friday at 12am. I couldn't sleep, so I went online and checked out the sale. I was hesitant at first, but when I saw a bag that I had added into my shopping cart get sold out... I pulled the trigger.

I had bought a bunch of clothes for work, simple tshirts so I didn't bother taking too many pictures.
Just plain ones.

I always look forward to receiving Zara packages!













This time it was in a cute blue packaging.













I bought quite a bit of clothes, most of which were too big though.
Not too fond of the print on the shirt on the right side...














The main reason I pulled the trigger ...
The blue version of this bag was sold out! I made the purchase at like 12:30am!
But luckily I grabbed the white one as well.

(The Studded Satchel Bag: Ref.4125/304)

This bag was quite expensive. I believe it isn't leather, and it was $69.99.

But it was too cute to pass up! I needed a small crossbody, but bigger than fitting just a phone inside. 

The studs are nice quality ... and they hurt. I wonder if I will accidentally hurt anyone ...

The inside of the bag. It's pretty roomy. 

Some more shots of the exterior.

A wrap skirt that I picked up.

















These sweaters are also one of my favourites in this order.
I bought them in two colours! Haha.

White:

And Brown~Beige:

















A comparison of the white vs. the brown/beige.

I love love love these sweaters. I will probably end up wearing one of these tomorrow even though it's way too hot in Canada. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take more pictures with them on!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I ordered Friday morning (midnight) and I received it today (Monday) ! I love how fast Zara gets shipped to me.

Until next time,

Resizing shoes

Hey everyone,

The weather is finally getting better, and I can dust off my heels and sandals! Woo!

Unfortunately, I forgot that these heels from Zara were a bit too big. They were the last pair at the Yorkdale location, and they checked the other stores but the only store that had them in my size was in Montreal!!

So, I took these home. I probably only wore them twice, and it was pretty painful. These were a size 7, and I usually wear a 6/6.5 in heels. I use the Dr. Scholl's heel liners which worked for a bit, but eventually they started to lose their stickiness.

I had to find a solution. At first I remembered watching a DIY video on youtube about making your own liners, but after searching multiple walmarts and craft stores, I wasn't able to find felt with the adhesive backing.

One day I was walking around Shoppers Drug Mart, and I saw these felt pads. Yes, the felt pads you stick under chairs so they don't scratch your flooring.

Step 1:
Measure and cut out a piece with a height of 1 inch. The length doesn't really matter, but I guess it would help make the shoe fit smaller.














Step 2: Place it in your shoe and adjust it to determine how it should fit, where it should bend, and make sure the sides don't come out over the side of the shoe.

Make sure it doesn't look like that! It won't look attractive!!

Step 3: Peal off the adhesive sticky and place it in your shoe!
Press and hold, make sure it's in there.














Step 4: Enjoy your newly fitted shoes!
































Since I had leftovers, I did it to other pairs of shoes as well. It's so sad that Zara's 7 and 6.5 is a bit big, and 6 is too snug for me feet.

Hopefully this was somewhat informative. I've been too tired to come up with ideas and actually do them. So many ideas! So little time!!

Until next time,
Aggie

Quick update - March 11th

Hey everyone,

When I finally decided to blog more often (I even planned out what I was going to blog about for the next few weeks!) ... my internet was down! It was down for almost two weeks ! :(

So hopefully I'll get the ball rolling soon. I have a few things in mind.
Come back soon :)

My goals for this year

Hey everyone!

I love making lists, and I love writing everything down. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at keeping my goals, since I'm always making new lists and changing up things I want to do.

So here is my list of goals for 2014. Hopefully writing it here publicly, will encourage me to accomplish more of them... and so my friends can remind me to achieve some of them. (I'm counting on you guys!!)

1. Travel somewhere (doesn't have to be far, just maybe outside the vicinity of Toronto/GTA and Waterloo)
2. Get G-Licensed (yes, unfortunately studying out of town makes it a lot harder to practice and drive often)
3. Learn a new language (probably Mandarin, as it seems important in a lot of service-industry jobs now)
4. Learn to be happy with what I have (sometimes I forget to do that, thus, my endless want of shopping and buying things)
5. Buy the super duper big stuffed bear from Costco (yes, I just said that I'd stop wanting things, but I've wanted this bear since forever, but I never see them at Costco anymore. Only the dog and the panda, and the moose they had for winter)

I guess I'll work on five for now, and add onto them as the year passes.
Hehe, I'm excited!!

(ps. yes, you may talk and nag me to achieve my goals.)
