new project

I want to re-decorate my bathroom!!

just recently I found a theme that I really want and I cant stop thinking about it. I found this collection and I was totally in love, simply shabby chic. I was never really into the whole cottage romance theme, but this collection looks so tasteful dont ya think? I love whole etched glass and brass look for some reason so I decided to re-create my entire bathroom into this theme. now, I dont want to do the whole crazy cottage look cus for some reason it's kinda creepy. I dont like everything to look all old and white and pastel-y, I just want it to be "vintage" yet modern with personality. I will post a pic of my tiny bathroom once I get everything all set. the problem with that is it can be so expensive! this set below is from target, and when I add everything together it's over $100!! yes thats a lot to me considering I shop with coupons nowadays

a little shopping haul

so this weekend I spent some time shopping even though I really shouldnt. actually, I shopped for some of these stuff awhile back online but just received all of them this week. anyway, that makes me a lot happier since I havent really shop for the longest time. the best part though, I scored some nice discounts.

so you probably wonder why I have that purple flower vase and that plant there. well, my friend, I bought that from Ikea and total for about $5!!!

the most expensive thing there was probably the false lashes which I bought from a japanese cosmetic store. once in a while I like to indulge in my beauty routine and get dolled up, and false lashes are my favorite!

the pink box is skin79 bb cream that I got from amazon for $15, shipping included. I love this stuff. I ran out of it couple months ago and I gotta have it again. this thing is not only acts like a tinted moisturizer but it acts as a skincare product as well. I cant rave about it enough so imma stop it here

I got stila eye palette and smashbox blush/bronzer from sephora. I got these two for a pretty sweet deal; stila palette was only $14 and smashbox blush was only $7 (online only!). when I saw it I was like I dont know what Im gonna do with them, but I gotta buy it lol!

last but not least. the silver tin on the bottom.. it's just a stationary for my greeting/thank you cards. I thought the box is well made and the design is too cute to resist. if anyone knows me, they should know that I love anything geographical/map related. the box and the cards have pictures of butterflies but in atlas form. I dont know who to describe it, but it's definitely me
