Cute Korean/Chinese style shorts Part 1

*9*

It's autumn!!! And flu season... :/ urgh sorry for the lack of posts, I've been caught down with a cold for like almost a week now :( and I always get the feeling I need to write long posts but I think now ill alternate because then I can update more :D 

Now I love summer so I'm sort of sad that the weather is starting to get colder...no wait... It's not! We're having this mini heat wave come back again so it feels like summer :D I can't tell you how happy I am because I really dislike the cold. I only like it when it snows because it feels really festive and looks so pretty...

So, now that I no it's sort of touch and go I'm really trying to make the most of it. I have to wear more summer clothes before the chance disappears! Literally most of my clothes are for summer, cos in the winter you tend to cover up more like with jumpers and cardigans etc 

I bought several pairs of shorts in Hong Kong all of which are different style and from different places. But they're all from little shops as opposed to commercial companies. Ohmygosh there was this time where I saw the most gorgeous shoes ever, sort of converse style, just above the ankle, had a platform about 1 inch high, soft grey coloured and had a material lace pattern on the back half of the shoe! SHOE HEAVEN! I fell in love with it at first sight because it was a good height, pretty colour and subtle detail of lace on the side and back and most of all it was so cheap. It was about 15 pounds!!!!!!!!!! All of the ones I've seen that I liked in Hong Kong were like 40 pounds so this was such a bargain buy. 

You can imagine how excited I was but then there biggest size was 39 and it didn't fit :( usually I'm a size 39 but maybe this was Japanese sizing so smaller as my feet were cramped right to the front. I was shattered :'( I didn't get it in the end because obviously it didn't fit and also the woman there was so sweet she was like don't buy it don't buy it because it'll hurt your feet if it doesn't fit. 

Usually they all tell me nah just buy it, if you wear it more often the shoes will listen and you'll fit into it :/ yeah, no. I'm not falling for that. She was so genuinely nice so I wished even more I could have bought it... 

So anyway, these are the 3 pairs of shorts that I bought, all at amazing prices, probably no more than 10 pounds each.

This was the first pair that I found, it’s the first pair of high waisted shorts I’ve owned and I think they’re really cute. I love the summery pattern of the light blue background against the contrast of the large flowers. The pair of shorts is elasticated so it looks great with an oversized jumper on top or tuck in a t-shirt for that stylish ulzzang look. The pockets are also really cool as instead of having a regular cut, it’s like culottes. 

I love this pink pair because it’s such a pretty colour. The dusty pink works really nicely both in the summer and in the winter. Therefore it’s very wearable and because the design has no pattern you can wear loads of different colours on the top. You could team it up with a cute cream blouse in the summer season or an oversized grey jumper when it gets a little chilly.  I love the cute detailing of the lace at the bottom plus the cute embellishment of the gold rose buttons. It’s cute and makes the style a little more girly!

This third pair is much more casual but I love it because it’s so unique. Giraffes are my favourite animal and I’ve never seen giraffe shorts. The material is thicker than usual and nice and sturdy and the slightly off white colour keeps it simple against the navy giraffes. There are also pockets at the front as well as the pack which is handy though I probably wouldn’t use the ones at the back ;)

So which pair do you like the most? Next post I’ll do a part two where I’ll take pictures of me wearing the shorts with different pieces to create different styles. 

Thanks for reading!!!

I'm back!!! ^_^

I'm finally back into the blogging world...

Sorry for the long delay, I have written a post for almost two months I think and that's because I've been really busy whilst holidaying in Hong Kong. I took a lot of food pictures whilst away so ill make then into food collages before posting them in a separate post. However in this post I wanted to show you several cosmetics/beauty products that I bought it received as samples when I went shopping in Hong Kong. The products ill mainly be reviewing are Korean companies such as Holika Holika, Etude House and Tony Moly so I hope you'll like it. There's a lot to get through so ill try posting a new review each week (sometime in the weekend because ill be busy with school work on weekdays- just started A levels and I'm taking maths, English literature, philosophy and psychology) 

So I hope you like the reviews and in the mean time ill leave you with some pictures of the upcoming products. Oh and what I really loved about these beauty and skincare shops when I went to Hong Kong, apart from actually getting to there :3 was there generosity. Some of them are just super duper nice and offer you free products when you spend a certain amount which is really great because then you can test out even more products. When I went to Etude House, I got several little samples, at Holika Holika, because I went with my sisters and aunties we all spent a lot and put the bill together so receive a crazy amount of gifts (they were very kind :D) and at Skinfood instead of giving us lots of little samples they gave us an option of two full products. One was a suncream protection lotion and another a deep sea water brightening toner. No doubt I chose the toner to hydrate my skin in the cold weather in London. The bottle is large, no joke and i'll be able to use it for a looong time. 

Some samples I received, there were more but I shared with my sister and some of them aren't suitable for me, so I gave them to my mum for her to use

Some products I bought and received as presents from my relatives

Oh and tomorrow i'll be making 2 different mini mousse cakes- a rich chocolate crisp mousse cake and a rocky road marshmallow cake so ill also have a review on how they go. I bought this little cake book in Hong Kong that I just found too adorable and each of the little cakes are only about 3.5 inches in diameter so you make about 2 each time. It's a great way to make more things and use up ingredients so that you don't waste which is what I'm doing! 

What I love about this book is not only its compact size (smaller than a4 but bigger than a5) but that it's really pretty and decorated inside. A lot of thought has obviously gone into this book and with each recipe comes a picture. I personally don't like it when there aren't any pictures for a recipe because I want to see how it turns out and how it should look. 

There's a huge variety in cakes within the book ranging from chocolate, fruit, caramel, cheesecake, sesame and tea flavoured!!! So there's bound to be several that you like, I know that I've found tons in here that I'm dying to try and I'm going to go through them one by one. >•< plus it even has recipes for steamed cakes and the presentation is just WOW. There are simple designs that look great but are still easy to do and slightly more difficult ones that are fab looking but none of them I'd say are challenging which is great right?!

 I'm not sure if you can buy this book online but if you're in Hong Kong go to big book stores and you'll probably be able to find it (it'd be helpful if I remembered the name but I can't so sorry). Urm but I haven't actually noticed it in the shop PageOne so you could look there but...

See you in my next post!
