OOTD ♥

This outfit is perfect for that awkward Summer to Fall transition. It's really simple and, if you're like me, you really only need to cover up the top half when that random breeze comes your way!

The Shoes!




I love love love these wedges [my friends call these the "sexy shoes", LOL]! I can wear them all day (I have problems wearing heels for long periods of time because of my arches) with minimal discomfort. I found these in a random shop in the nightmarket where my boyfriend's uncle and aunt's food cart sits. Gah! I wanted this type of wedge in different colors so I went to a few of the bigger ones looking for ones this cute/well-made.  Sadly I wasn't able to find them. This pair is sturdy as heck -- I bought them more than a year ago and they're still like-new. The only downside is that the tied-up part doesn't really stay wrapped around your leg as the day goes on.

The Accessories


I've only worn these earrings 1-2 times, but for 1.50$ their quality is pretty spectacular!

I got super lucky and bought this necklace 70% off -- the local Coco and Lolly went out of business! It was originally 18USD but I bought it for 5-ish.




I'd been eying this ring ever since it hit the "New Arrivals" tab on the Forever 21 website! It's sooo cute and I was lucky enough to snag the last one at the Mall of America's ForLove 21.

The Bag



Last but not least -- the giant Coco and Lolly bag. I also got this one at the closing sale -- 58USD -> 17USD, heck yes! I absolutely love this fantabulous bag! It's a really nice taupe color (and I also managed to grab one of the last matching wristlets for 5$) with a cute black bow and chain strap. I use it for my folders and notebooks right now. Talk about going to class in style!

Thanks for reading! ♥

Kiwiberry Review: EOS Max Pure Brown

I won this pair from Kiwi's Facebook contest! I was hesitant to try 14.5mm's but I really like the outcome. So if you think your eyes are too small, fear not -- they'd probably look fine on you.

Color/Design -- 9.5/10;; These are too cute and natural! I love the shade of brown, it's so much warmer and richer than my natural dark brown. The max pure series is known for it's "cogwheel" design and since my eyes are dark brown, I can still see the cogwheels in my eyes up close. It kind of bothers me, hence the -.5 but from about 1ft away it's not noticeable.

Comfort -- 9/10;; Mm, these are much more comfortable compared to my Geos. My only complaint is that sometimes I can feel them but after a little prodding and moving around they feel fine.

Enlargement -- 10/10;; These enlarge extremely nicely for 14.5mm's. i don't think they're unnaturally big. Just super cute and dolly, if you will.

Seller -- 12039812980192839812908301823/10;; Oh my goodness I cannot express how much I like Kiwiberry's service. The owners are so sweet, great with communication, and great with customer service!

Overall -- 9.5/10;; I reallllyyy like this pair! I definitely go to these lenses for everyday use.
