Bruno Mars The Moonshine Jungle Tour in Shanghai :)

Hey guys!

This Thursday, I went to the Bruno Mars concert in Shanghai. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. No words can describe how good Bruno Mars is and the concert was just mindblowing. This is one of the best concerts I've ever been to. 

I went with my brother, Henry, and we were sitting at the side. I actually prefer to sit at the side because no one can really block you and it will be easier to take photos and videos, as compared to when everyone is standing and waving glowsticks right in front of your camera. We were not that close but it was good enough. The photos I took were not as close up as the ones I took at Alicia Keys, which you can check it out here.

Before concert selfie.



Photos are taken with Canon EOS1100D (not the most professional DSLR) and with Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens.

Yeah it was pretty difficult to take these photos especially in low light but enjoy!



This is one of my favorite shots ^


















This shot looks good too ^






I really love how confetti bursted out towards the end of the concert!



Yup and that's all I have.

This concert was really memorable partly because I knew almost all the songs and the atmosphere was just so great. I hope to go to another concert like this in future! :)

Thanks for reading!

Forever 21 Spring Haul 2014! :D

Hey guys!

Spring break just ended for me and it's time for me to get back studying and start stressing all over school again. I was actually rather busy during spring break because I had to go for piano classes almost everyday since my piano exam is coming up soon. And also, I spent some time with my friends and at Joanna's birthday party sleepover.

Anyway, on Sunday, I went to Forever 21. It's right opposite the Shanghai Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street (上海南京步行街). I was worried that it would be difficult to locate the store since it's my first time there but it was really big and easily spotted. The store had 4 stories. I also had no difficulty getting off the car right in front of the store. I went there in the morning at 10am, right when the store opens so that there would be less people shopping at that time.

I bought a lot of stuff... But I was hoping that the winter items were on clearance sale but when I went there, all the spring clothes were out already and I could not really find any winter clothes at all. I have photos of the price tags so if you're interested you can take a look.

I would say that some of the prices are slightly more expensive than I hoped for but I did get a couple of good deals.



Because I'm happy~~~

I am going to start with the things I picked up at the check out counter first. I got this banana bag. It's so cute! I love eating bananas and this bag is just perfect if I need to go grocery shopping or if I need a bag for my PE clothes.




I also got an adorable piggy bath sponge! Forever 21 had duck bath sponges too but I thought this was cuter. (:



And I finally got an umbrella that I actually like. I don't know why it's so hard to get pretty umbrellas. This was a little more expensive than I wished but I think it's worth it since it has daisies, it's handy, and I will really like this.





I also got two adorable tweezers. I am totally in love with this cat one.





Now it's time to move on to the clothes that I got!

I finally got a bralette! This is actually my first bralette since I am not a skinny person and clothes showing tummy skin isn't the best for me. HOWEVER, I am very determined to get slimmer for summer this year :) This was on sales and I'm not sure about the original price and I think this was a pretty good deal.

By the way, I am a size M if you're wondering. 165/92A is the M size in Chinese measurements.


I am also really excited about this acid washed denim shorts, which is my very first pair as well. I think it's high waisted. 



I wore the bralette with the high waisted shorts together. I'm not sure if it's the best combination but here is just how it looks like.

I dont know why but my arms look awkward... :p


The closeup of the bralette.


I bought a sweater which is the only winter clothing item I got. I don't have a navy long sleeved top and this was on sales so I'm glad I got this!



I also bought denim pants. I'm pretty sure these are not jeans. Are they called jeggings? Anyway, this isn't the perfect fit for me and I was hoping that it was a super skinny type of cutting. I'm not sure if I should alter it at a store or something because I really prefer my jeans to have a super skinny cutting. But I don't have this color and I feel that this is inexpensive and got it anyway.

*Update*
I ended up giving this pants to my mom. I just realized that the size is way off (It was a Euro size 42) and it was perfect for my mom so yeah.




Yup this photo is kinda blurry since I took photos myself and no one was there to help me with the focus.


The last item I have is probably one of my favorite among all the items that I got. This is my first jumpsuit! I always wanted a jumpsuit because I think it looks good on taller people like me (I'm 173.5cm) but my parents always thought that it looked ugly... O.o I totally disagree with them and this is just so gorgeous. I have to say that jumpsuits will not look good on everyone. I got this in size M and it's pretty damn long.




Sorry for another blurry photo.


Close up of the front. I really like the material, the design and the buttons. They are all so vintage-y.


The cutting on the back is also unique. I probably have to figure out a way to hide the awkward bra strap.


And that is all I have!

I really enjoyed shopping this time and I got some amazing items. Hopefully this post gives you some outfit ideas.
