I am thankful for my friends, family, health.... you know... the usual stuff. Instead of getting all mushy, I will just get down to what's important for today.... sales! Ok, I am just kidding, sales are not that important, but certainly fun to shop with your relatives right? <br />
<br />
First... 33% off on Endless.com on certain styles! The boots that I have been drooling over are included!!! I got them in black because I want black boots, but I think they look better in the caramel color. Should I just get it in caramel and get another pair of black boots?<br />

ModCloth.com is having a spectacular 50% off sale! I am tempted by the yellow coat and the purple coat, but nothing else much. I already got a coat from here earlier that I simply love. I should control myself, but for $35... it's kind of hard.</div>

Carter's and Osh K'osh is having 50% off everything on their site too. Though I think it may be a better deal at the stores 'cause they have the discount at the store too and extra $20 off $40 coupon. New York and Company also has 50% off everything. The Body Shop and Bath and Body Works also have great deals. Missha has 40% off everything, but I remember it was 50% off everything around Christmas time. But, you know what else? I am having an awesome sale for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HappyCloudSupplies?section_id=6554810">Happy Cloud Supplies</a>! Check out these jewelry displays for just $4!! Hurry and put your order in. I only have 1 of each.<br />

It's been a while, I know. And I am sure you know why. Work work work! Well, I finally got a change to go out and play and eat! On this special occasion, my friends and I headed to Bobby's Burger Palace in College Park. Bobby aka Bobby Flay. It's a new place with dorm-cafeteria-ish long tables and a sushi-bar-esque burger bar. It's very casual and upbeat. </div>

And of course, I got more masks....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirCGfnWGGuTX8gKdahLEAsK30hi4CEW-tTl4BQ-PEIDxBHtMBJY8jCVzRL8cYp8XPhSg47DGGQjFW6BM2ABNYxHTjn8Atq4_YHcijZ4-g-5zyhBX0V4nekSKBoA_Re2BYA6B-KHsuX9QM/s1600/IMG_0146.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirCGfnWGGuTX8gKdahLEAsK30hi4CEW-tTl4BQ-PEIDxBHtMBJY8jCVzRL8cYp8XPhSg47DGGQjFW6BM2ABNYxHTjn8Atq4_YHcijZ4-g-5zyhBX0V4nekSKBoA_Re2BYA6B-KHsuX9QM/s400/IMG_0146.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I saw these on <a href="http://insideoutelle.blogspot.com/2011/03/review-my-beauty-diary-japanese.html">Inside Out Elle</a> and I thought they looked cute and I have seen good reviews so I got a variety box.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VBtthQh4z3HK6YRTksWT7hWpbHkSz0FYv05Pwyr_Cf9zvF3rN5pUpbBXbgZTH8c0dfcKHdTQ1T6JWXzDJhA68SuNnr6LhYAX1VRQzei57Gmq93-zIzWiaCt8IHdI1mB3YqeZHJXzW74/s1600/IMG_0147.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VBtthQh4z3HK6YRTksWT7hWpbHkSz0FYv05Pwyr_Cf9zvF3rN5pUpbBXbgZTH8c0dfcKHdTQ1T6JWXzDJhA68SuNnr6LhYAX1VRQzei57Gmq93-zIzWiaCt8IHdI1mB3YqeZHJXzW74/s400/IMG_0147.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Then I saw the yellow Alice in Wonderland set and knew that I have to have it too! It's yellow! The box is so cute. I think I am just going to put all my masks in there from now on and leave it on my desk.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8cwOoqalDkhnoNZQK2RTBJe1vZYl5p_AT-Bz22PbUA6LUbWBZpkbozIreeLZisadV4h6UFujTlLgvReZXyIF1ivQZhtcpf0IDia4hpnxAVAew7gNf1uAWWIEbLqo7oqYYZEflM0sBmc/s1600/IMG_0148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8cwOoqalDkhnoNZQK2RTBJe1vZYl5p_AT-Bz22PbUA6LUbWBZpkbozIreeLZisadV4h6UFujTlLgvReZXyIF1ivQZhtcpf0IDia4hpnxAVAew7gNf1uAWWIEbLqo7oqYYZEflM0sBmc/s400/IMG_0148.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />
Yes, they look cute on my desk! I am a sucker for packaging, I know. I like simple, but pretty and cute packaging. Nothing excessive.<br />

I really think I have enough beauty products... But, I recently saw an ad from Missha...20% off everything and only $8.99 for their newest color Honey Beige. That's like $7 something after the coupon! And their whole Super Aqua line is on sale for 50% off. Man... I must resist!!!!<br />

In the Germantown town center, new restaurants opened this summer including Chipotle, Yogi Castle and Elevation Burgers. Who needs Rockville anymore? :) My friend recommended Elevation Burgers and I was a little bit skeptical at first. It's a block away from Five Guys and I don't even like Five Guys. But, we walked by today and decided to try it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdwsD9Oz06NandNYyhahLXQH8JlGG7233pmZBJmTYK8IyybRn0fiXFyd18E-4JI7cA2i1I5NzcslqfLwZWlRaBR-jstLBiahLqXUFVZ8ZdsTogfdmJGoB8ZAPw45KPVVNlJfXf5-LRt3E/s1600/Elevation+Burger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdwsD9Oz06NandNYyhahLXQH8JlGG7233pmZBJmTYK8IyybRn0fiXFyd18E-4JI7cA2i1I5NzcslqfLwZWlRaBR-jstLBiahLqXUFVZ8ZdsTogfdmJGoB8ZAPw45KPVVNlJfXf5-LRt3E/s400/Elevation+Burger.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br />
</div><div>It's an interesting place. You walk in and you have to fill out this form for your burger. They have all kinds of toppings and sauce to choose from. I tried the Elevation sauce, but didn't really notice any specific flavor. I should've added hot sauce.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxR31oo_S87rB175kECkdv8jzQ3iFXA-xlFbUXpCLHK0b-F_QwU-83cA3CPyBuoA6lkuQ381Zqn2LWD3UeCE8HksT0e1fcENJef-zQ7E7O5b-N_UfsoFhRWDaHDhclSJIpNAD0NueVqXQ/s1600/Elevation+Burger-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxR31oo_S87rB175kECkdv8jzQ3iFXA-xlFbUXpCLHK0b-F_QwU-83cA3CPyBuoA6lkuQ381Zqn2LWD3UeCE8HksT0e1fcENJef-zQ7E7O5b-N_UfsoFhRWDaHDhclSJIpNAD0NueVqXQ/s400/Elevation+Burger-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
The food was certainly fresh! Can you see the steam coming out of the burger? They have a conveyor belt cooking the fresh daily grinded beef patties. It's quite a sight! The burgers were so juicy!! I like it a lot more than Five Guys. The fries looked good too, but we didn't get any. We were being kind of healthy.<br />

They have milkshakes too! And they can add 2 ingredients in for free. We got strawberries and Oreos. I think the strawberries were frozen ones. I didn't care for them but overall it was good.<br />

Another fun thing... these plates! They have a handle with a hole that's perfect for drinks. I like this place. It's gonna be hard to pick what to eat in that area with so many good choices....Chipotle? Elevation Burgers? Sabai Sabai?<br />

Our friend recommended a special place called Makoto. It's a tiny little place, but it sure is special. First of all, men are required to wear jackets. And they require credit card information for reservations. Fancy! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0000ee; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzEkak42Xa4ON57GIcCsnTPdowpqcmS8vXRbW3GrXgjnnTxK35rKGoZcwEu7UeumYDFd3W_Bnojgq6YCetJeXgWDyhitRH-R40JJ4ImMEoqUsu66Nsl0SPsRa4WTOKdXSMKjt_kYEPAvM/s400/IMG_0090.JPG" width="300" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0000ee; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When we walked in, we were greeted by a very nice Japanese lady who instructed us to take off our shoes and put on a pair of slippers. The wooden chairs are ottomans that can store purses. We got tea and water and even that was served with flair. A strange thing is.... the coasters. If you are Chinese, you may recognize these as money that is burnt for the dead. What?? Why would they use these for coasters?? WEIRD!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGMrGAoSs6UlpU5Ti_EFGShL2xqVPMIG8PU7WR0b6Yq5LeA8PwkLX0NP4Ifn3-_J1J7TNiAImbbU1qVs6efJWJdlM_xhRBxLLpFkGy5iyNh8HBj85rbbDTUCRKAggvGEiAQd0UsRh8uI/s1600/IMG_0086.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGMrGAoSs6UlpU5Ti_EFGShL2xqVPMIG8PU7WR0b6Yq5LeA8PwkLX0NP4Ifn3-_J1J7TNiAImbbU1qVs6efJWJdlM_xhRBxLLpFkGy5iyNh8HBj85rbbDTUCRKAggvGEiAQd0UsRh8uI/s400/IMG_0086.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But, the food was good. We ordered the chef's special which is $60 for 8-10 courses. I was so shy and wasn't sure if we could take pictures so I missed the first few courses. The first one was awesome looking soup served in a conch shell. Definitely very interesting. This is the main course... Chillean bass.</div><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Everything was good! The service was just so thoughtful and excellent. I like all the small dishes. My husband thought he would still be hungry afterwards, but he wasn't. Of course, I gave him some of my food 'cause it was too much for me. There was some dishes that I didn't like but I am just very picky with raw seafood. It was the first time I had raw scallop and it's just not my thing. It's definitely interesting!! We had a great time and I certainly felt special! </div>Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12292197361774008317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898679764525977901.post-68352842152097969332011-07-07T00:13:00.000-04:002011-07-07T00:13:25.424-04:00~ Updates for Dante and Dylan ~It's been a while, but I am happy to report that Dante has been adopted!!!

Since Dante left, Dylan has become less timid. But, he's still afraid of reaching hands. Sometimes, he'll let us pet him without chasing him down, so that's an improvement!<br />

First, there's the semi-annual sale at Bath and Body Works. They have some antibacterial soaps for 75% off. With the $10 off $40 coupon, it was about $1.25 a bottle. Good deal. I actually didn't need anything from there. Together with my friend, we barely made it over $40 to use the coupon.<br />

I also got this little silicone bee for my soups. It goes on top of the soap pump. So cute!<br />

This is a new bag I got for work. I love the bow! Usually, I wouldn't get a Guess bag. But, I really like this one. And it was 40% off! There's a pretty good sale going on at Guess right now with their clearance items. Lots of cute skirts and club wear. <br />

I also went a little bit crazy at Crabtree and Evelyn. I love their age defying hand cream and they are on sale for $10! They are regularly $25. And if you purchase over $30, you can pay $5 for their hand scrub which is usually $22. Purchase over $50 and you get a free travel set. And they have a lot of scrubs and lotions for 75% off. Also their hand soaps are buy 1 get 1 free. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhme9-xfZua3ShJAcszXffyQSgeVIkY-KqRDJ4RHcHkmBNvG3rG22AvxW_OGJxl-Gr7U8hrYVsruA1BJUja3wQHK6O5mgQ53nspw4AaSXNRYbuET0x2Cbmql_on746FDRlt9DEsEKYSEzM/s1600/IMG_0047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhme9-xfZua3ShJAcszXffyQSgeVIkY-KqRDJ4RHcHkmBNvG3rG22AvxW_OGJxl-Gr7U8hrYVsruA1BJUja3wQHK6O5mgQ53nspw4AaSXNRYbuET0x2Cbmql_on746FDRlt9DEsEKYSEzM/s400/IMG_0047.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
This is my favorite scent because I think it smells like one of my husband's colognes. The sale is also online, though there's a 4-item limit for the hand creams. Free shipping over $75 (after discounts) and there's a 20% coupon code (WELCOME0611). I went to the store because I didn't want to buy $75 worth of stuff and I wanted more than 4 hand creams. But, you can return stuff at the store if you buy online so technically, you can buy enough for the free shipping and then return the extras at the store. The 20% off works for the sale items online even though it says it wouldn't. So, if you plan to buy a lot, it's a good deal.<br />

I also got some clothes from Express and kids stuff from the Disney store. I am a little disappointed with the Express sale. I think I went too late. There weren't a lot of stuff left. I am still looking for some new clothes because I recently went through my closet and donated a bunch of old clothes. That means more shopping next weekend!Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12292197361774008317noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898679764525977901.post-37069527246394066112011-06-14T23:54:00.000-04:002011-06-15T00:13:08.577-04:00~ My First Sasa.com Haul ~I finally broke down a few weeks ago and bought masks and moisturizers from Sasa.com. I was a good girl though. I went from a cart with $250 worth of stuff down to $80. Here's everything. It's mostly ISQueen masks. I really only "needed" the vitacream b12 but it's free shipping over $50... so naturally I had to look around.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Overall, I am pretty happy with the purchase. Sasa.com is a slow website to me. It took a while to look around. The check out process was a little confusing and it took me a few tries to actually finish. But, shipping was surprisingly quick! It was only 2 weeks. Everything was packaged securely and arrived in perfect condition...not even dents in the boxes! I can't wait to try everything. I use masks about twice a week so I estimate my complete masks collection will last me about 5 years. Ok, I exaggerated. It's really 3 years :) I guess I better start doing more masks!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Qw-sG9v7i4FNFGGHkn5rE3qaDnFquFwq-TnUcaXqlqVOLcU7ECRdLJu33C_tmLXwTTtOs1kHFHEIQmJ3MnnbZMZDyzoDfKXiHYw4U7Q_Ii9_43YPmd7IJmvVIhPjiCiewbIxtACZ6uU/s400/IMG_0012.JPG" width="400" /></span></div>Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12292197361774008317noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898679764525977901.post-52456210326930507952011-06-13T22:28:00.001-04:002011-06-13T22:29:24.932-04:00~ New at Happy Cloud Moments: Purse Hooks ~Have you ever gone to a crowded restaurant and have no room to put your purse?

You can hang these outside on your purse for easy access. But, that mean more wear and tear on the hook. Sometimes I hang it inside my purse for more security and so I can find it easily. These are all available at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HappyCloudMoments?section_id=5886497">Happy Cloud Moments</a>. Check them out!<br />

I think it has been like 5 years since I went to Todai. Today, after relaxing at the spa, I stopped by Todai on the way home. If you haven't had Todai before, it's a good experience. They have such a big variety of seafood, sushi, Korean, Chinese and Japanese food. I like to try a little bit of everything! Let's start with sushi...<br />

Then, more sushi! I love salmon sashimi. This is like 2 orders worth of salmon sashimi from regular restaurants. It's very filling!<br />

Check out this crab leg! It was so huge and sweet! I think Todai is awesome every once in a while. $35 is a lil much, but the variety is awesome and I don't think you can get little cute desserts like that anywhere else. They have a lot more food than in these pictures.... like noodles, tempera, crepes, and stir fry. Yum!<br />

I had the Sapparo style Tonshio ramen (#2) with corn, fatty pork and egg. The fatty pork is pretty awesome. But, I think I will skip it next time. It's awesome, but it's so filling. And.... I need to... eat healthier.<br />

The actual noodles are thick and yellow and has a firm texture. Usually, if I finish the whole bowl, I am stuffed. It's a lot of food! Overall, Ren's Ramen is still an awesome Ramen place. You know it's awesome when there's a line waiting for a table outside most of the time. Parking kind of sucks though. The best time to go would be right when they open. Usually there aren't a lot of people at 11:30 and you can get seated right away. Can't wait to go back!<br />

Well, I finally opened the scariest sounding item...the Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream. From the website, it says "Containing Snail Slime Extract and Botanical Stem Cell, this cream renews and triggers the regeneration of skin. Also, Baobab Tree ingredient and Deep Sea Water Complex provides abundant amount of moist onto the skin". It's a big box! The set comes with a small bottle of sleep mask too. <br />

The jar is big but it's just an illusion. Most of it is just clear plastic. But, I love it! I love it because it's such a pretty yellow! And I specially love the sleep mask bottom because it is yellow and it has stars on it! Super super cute! I haven't tried this yet, but I will soon! <br />

Ok, perhaps I am biased because I am in love with the yellow packaging, but I like this cream. The scent is very sweet and light. To me, it's a very relaxing scent. The texture is more like a gel than a cream. It comes with a little clear spatula for you to scoop out the cream, which is a sign of luxury right? After putting it on, I must say that it's very nice. My skin absorbed it quickly and it feels very soft. <br />

The reason I tested this today is because this cream is on sale on the Missha website! If you follow this<a href="http://www.misshaus.com/pageControl.php?page=mainProductDetail&p_code=MSMS2301&ctg=BCA"> link</a>, it will take you to the product page with the special price of $19.99. That's $30 off! Plus, guess what they have on sale! 40% off nail polish and 50% off BB cream! Plus you get free stuff when you order $60 or more! So, you can get the snail cream for $20, a bunch of nail polish for ~$2-5 each, and a set of BB Cream+Boomer for $28 and you will get the Time Revolution White Cure Super White Toner. What a steal!! I am tempted, but I have so much BB Cream already.... what to do what to do!<br />

I never saw Pirates of the Caribbean III so I had a little Pirates of the Caribbean marathon to get myself ready for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. After seeing all those pirates, I got a little bit inspired to make some pirates-related items! First, a pair of earrings...<br />

These skulls are super sparkly and I love the muted blue tear drop crystals! I added a little golden shadow in there for extra beachy sparkles! <br />

This is like the star fish on Bill Turner's face right? Ok, not really. This one is much much prettier! I love it! Check it out in my shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/75524175/starfish-lock-shaped-purse-hanger-bag">here</a>.<br />

I also have a little pirates theme going on at <a href="http://happycloudsupplies.etsy.com/">Happy Cloud Supplies</a> with these skull charms, crown charms and skull key charms. I threw in the flower because it's awesome.<br />

The weather was just beautiful! What better outdoor activities to do with kids than picking strawberries! We headed to our neighborhood Butler's Orchard for some sweet and juicy strawberries. I love these turquoise containers that they gave us!<br />

These strawberry plants are very low to the ground. You have to move the leaves away to find the ripe strawberries.<br />

Sometimes, you may get lucky and find some nice strawberries just hanging out. Unfortunately, I was to busy taking pictures of it and forgot to pick this one!<br />

Hot dogs and burgers don't appeal to me much. Perhaps it's because I grew up with Hong Kong style BBQ. I think I just like the fact that everyone is supposed to gather around the grill to cook.

After a little while, we got lazy and put the food on the grill, American style. Except, we still have HK style food. You can't have a bbq without chicken wings!<br />

We also grill shrimps and mussels by wrapping them in foil and adding some black bean and garlic sauce in it. Sometimes, we also do veggie packs.<br />

This is fruit salad. Basically, it's apples, pears, pineapple, potato and whatever else you want to put it. Just not mushy stuff like banana. Then, add mayonnaise or miracle whip and mix! Some people likes to put some black pepper or egg or fruit cocktail too. My sister-in-law put some dried cranberries this time.<br />

This was the most awesome watermelon! Very sweet and juicy! We also made a dessert soup with mung beans and seaweed. It's very good to drink mung bean soup and eat watermelon to counteract the "heat" of all the grilled food. I had a great time this weekend and I hope everyone else did too! Can't wait till the next long weekend!<br />

We do our nails! She wanted a peachy color and I don't have one, so I mixed some pinks, yellow and white and got this...It's a nice soft peach color with a glossy pearl finish. Mixing colors are fun!<br />

She had a little fun counting out my nail polish. Over 40 bottles! I have a huge variety of brands from Orly, OPI, Zoya, Sally Hansen, Missha, Deborah Lippman and more. No black, no browns, mostly girly colors.<br />

I think these are my favorites right now... Deborah Lippman Some Enchanted Evening which looks awesome with a pink or black base. Deborah Lippman Today was a Fairy Tale that is awesome with everything. OPI Nicole's One Less Lonley Girl, which is awesome over lilac or on its own. OPI's Glow Up Already which looks great on its own or to accent greens, yellows or reds. And Zoya Crystal because it's just awesome. <br />

This is a quick NOTD with Sally Hansen Yellow Mellow and accented with Some Enchanted Evening. I like this color, but the formula is pretty streaky. I had to put 2 really thick coats to make it look decent. In general, I have been pretty disappointed with Sally Hansen nail polish. Either the formula is hard to use or the colors are much more sheer than I thought it would be. <br />

I always go in to check it out, but I rarely find anything that fits me well. Always hopeful, I went in about a month ago and came back out with a few tops and dresses! I love the maxi dress trend! I got a couple of tops and floral dresses. Here's my favorite comfy maxi dress. It was $25. One reason I like it is because it's not a deep V. I have many dresses that are deep Vs and it shows too much and it's annoying to have to find shirts to wear under or over them. Please ignore the door knob. I was too lazy to photoshop it out :)</div><div style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzD9f7J2n4d4yF9htg67OEtQ9TlVxYNfYnn6yV5TGp4m39ORodQiQBBcVf7dQsP17_p-gGDcPgxcrEqI-g8Orn5oIUaFLPfAjBo66LUDbOeg2r20I2bhltZbWARfVYJR1hjWqtv8fobRc/s1600/IMG_0557.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzD9f7J2n4d4yF9htg67OEtQ9TlVxYNfYnn6yV5TGp4m39ORodQiQBBcVf7dQsP17_p-gGDcPgxcrEqI-g8Orn5oIUaFLPfAjBo66LUDbOeg2r20I2bhltZbWARfVYJR1hjWqtv8fobRc/s400/IMG_0557.JPG" style="border-width: 0;" width="201" /></a><br />
<br />
This is another floral dress. I like the style and the pattern. It's a very romantic soft pink roses with a hint of vintageness. The cutting and fabric makes it look more safari to me and makes me think of a brave fashionable scientist on the African safari. Ok, my imagination is a lil bit hyper today.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
I got this pretty pink rose shirt with ruffle sleeves too. It was like $12! Very pretty and I love it with my white skirt.<br />

I was also obsessed with this white organic cotton maxi dress for a while. I really wanted it but it was $60. More than I usually pay for a simple dress like that and from H&M where clothes are supposed to be cheap. I know I am supposed to support organic blah blah blah, but at the end... I didn't get it. I did end up getting 2 more of the green floral dress in 2 more colors because I saw it on sale today! It was $15 each. Crap. I threw out my receipt for the green one so I can't get my $10 back :( Oh well, I got the dark blue one and light blue and peach flowers. I am ready for summer!<br />

I also stopped by New York & Company because my step mom wanted to check it out. We got some nice stuff! These flip flops are only $10! I want the turquoise pair too. I am debating whether I should go back and get them. So cute! And they have a bunch of stuff for 70% off. I got 1 solid color maxi dresses for $20 and a pair of shorts for $9 and a skirt for about $9. Gotta love a good sale!<br />

By the way, I saw these awesome nail polish at Forever 21 today. There's one that looks like the Deborah Lippman Today was a Fairytail and one that looks like a Rock Star blue and pink glitter polish that I have. It's a pretty awesome set for $10. If my mom didn't yell at me about the health hazards of nail polish last night, I probably would've bought it. Mom, I get it. It's not too good for my body (fumes, toxins, etc) but it's so pretty! And that's why I buy Zoya nail polishes :)<br />

Ok, soooo, I was good and returned stuff from my previous<a href="http://happycloudmoments.blogspot.com/2011/05/forever-21-haul.html"> F21 haul</a>. But, I am bad because I have $500 worth of beads at various supplies stores and masks and skincare on Sasa.com. Ooo the shopaholic has broken out of the cage and is doing some serious damage to my wallet!Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12292197361774008317noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898679764525977901.post-46729723564413416142011-05-21T16:03:00.001-04:002011-05-21T18:24:36.169-04:00~ NOTD: Mermaid's Tears and Zoya Promo ~I have been battling a bad case of flu and to make myself feel better, I... did my nails! I really wanted to use <a href="http://happycloudmoments.blogspot.com/2011/04/notd-lonely-eclipse-and-nail-polish.html">One Less Lonely Girl</a> again because I love that purple but I wanted something fresh. I am too tired to go to Ulta to get the minty green polish from the OPI Pirates of the Caribbean collection, so I made my own! Here it is... my very own Mermaid's Tears! I am holding a light blue flower so you can see that it is a little bit green. <br />

For this fun project, I used Zoya Ginessa and Orly Halley's Comet. The mix is about 60% Ginessa and 40% Halley's Comet. I think I put too much Ginessa though. I will try 50-50 mix next time. I also topped it with my beloved Deborah Lippman Today was a Fairytale for extra sparkles.<br />

I have a bunch of these contact lens holders lying around so I am using that as my polish mixer from now on. When it's in the lens case, it looks darker. <br />

Of course, I also topped it with Seche Vite top coat. I got a new one because my old one is way too thick to use now. I am probably going to get Seche Restore to fix it since I have 2 bottles of Vite. I hope Ulta has it so I can get it using the coupon.<br />

By the way, this manicure looks pretty similar to Crystal Fairytale that I did before, which is Zoya Crystal topped with Today was a Fairy Tale. That was a more muted color though. Mermaid's Tears is definitely more appropriate for spring and summer.<br />

Zoya is having another promotion that ends on Monday. According to the Zoya blog, "For a limited time with any** purchase (excluding Zoya Color Spoons) on Zoya.com you get <a href="http://www.zoya.com/content/38/item/Zoya/Zoya-Nail-Polish-Caitlin.html">Zoya Nail Polish in Caitlin</a> and <a href="http://www.zoya.com/content/38/item/Zoya/Zoya-Nail-Polish-Dove.html">Zoya Nail Polish in Dove </a>for free!! Just enter the code ZB52 when you check out!" I am tempted because I really, really want Pippa! But I don't care for these two colors. Ok, I am going to behave myself. If you want these colors, it's a great deal! <br />
