Manicure: Passion Orange and Romantic Pink

Hey guys! It's time for the nails again :)

I haven't gotten any new nail polishes in a while and I kind of run out of summer color. How could that be! I should go on a nail polishes shopping. So while I'm looking for new colors, I'm gonna play with some mix and match to create a new look but using the same colors I have been using the past months.

I wanted a summer-colored nails. I chose orangey red color and I added baby pink for some cuteness. This bright orangey red color nails is very versatile, it matches almost everything in my closet. It looks like candy color!!

OOTD: Studded Chiffon and Tribal ft. Minty Blue

Happy Sunday everyone! How was your weekend? 

I went to Chicago on Friday and this is the outfit of the day! It was kind of chilly in Chicago even though it is in the middle of summer. It was raining for a bit so I decided not to wear shorts. I got this pair of leggings couple days ago in Forever21. It was a great deal. Tribal print is the hit this summer/fall. I got compliments on the first day wearing them. It was super comfy too! It is great for class, running errands, taking flight or hanging out with your girl friends.

Of course, in the summer, you need to show off some skin so I paired it with a sleeveless chiffon studded top. I love love love this top. It is very flattered. The gold skeleton studs are so cute! The white chiffon top is very soft and comfy.

To accessorize the look, I wear a mint statement necklace, bangles and rings. Not to forget my favorite Michael Kors gold watch. It is always been my favorite. I want the mint statement necklace to be the focus of the look so I paired it with a black purse and white studded sandals.

Five Summer Concert Pairings

Hi everyone! How's your summer going? It's Lollapalooza weekend in Chicago!!

There are always tons of music festivals going on in the summer, from orchestra to electronic, all types of music. I am glad that I have the chance to share some summer concert pairings with you guys with different themes.

Yes, the weather in summer concerts is usually nasty. It is hot and humid. If you are going to an outdoor concert, you will definitely want to wear something light and comfortable, tank and shorts are probably the best option. Of course, a pair of comfortable shoes is a must have in summer concerts because you are gonna do a lot of dancing and jumping. So I would choose flats over heels unless I'm going to some concerts that have seating, for instance orchestral concert, then I'll dress up elegantly with sequin dress and a pair of gorgeous heels.

Oh most importantly, don't forget to use waterproof makeups! You are most probably gonna sweat like a piggy and you don't want your makeups to melt and drip over your face. That is a big no-no!

Alright, so here are some music festival pairings I'm gonna share with you: floral, chambray, spikey, tribal and lacey.

Haul: TJ Maxx Dresses

Hi everyone. I  hope you had a great weekend!

I went to TJ Maxx last week and picked up two cute dresses which costs $19.99 ea. I wanted to get more but gah, trying to save up :/

So I picked up this little black dress. I love the lacey and mesh details on this dress, it looks very classy. It can be worn at a formal, banquet or a night date.

The other dress is from Roxy. It is very summer-ish. The material is very soft and thin so it is definitely a must-have in the summer. I got compliment when I wore it couple days ago :)

How to make Tonkatsu

Hi everyone :)

My bf was craving for tonkatsu today so we decided to make our own instead of just eating out. Tonkatsu is japanese style fried pork cutlet. So we headed to grocery store and got some thin cut pork slices. And lets get started!

Tonkatsu

All we need is thin cut pork slices, eggs, flour, bread crumbs, salt and pepper for seasoning.

Ingredients

Slit the side of the pork to prevent the meat from curling while frying.

Seasoned the pork slices with salt and pepper

Lightly coat the pork slices with flour, then beaten eggs and lastly the bread crumbs. Set them aside.

Coat pork slices with flour, eggs and bread crumbs.

Put the coated pork slices into frying pan with hot oil. Fried it with medium-high heat until golden brown both sides. Place it on paper towel or let it rest on metal rack to remove excess oil. 

Fried until golden brown

Ta-dah, tonkatsu is ready to serve!

Korean BBQ at Chicago

Happy Thursday peeps! Hang in there, weekend is just right here.

I went to Wisconsin last week with my bf and we stopped by Chicago for dinner. This time we went to an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant at Lincoln Square called Song Do. This was my second visit and I'm very satisfied on both my visits. The service was really good. For $16.99 and you can have unlimited meats and side dishes, I think it's very affordable. Meats was well marinated and taste good. I would definitely go again!

Haul: Kate Spade New York and Coach purses

Hi everyone!

I went to outlet shopping recently and got myself 2 new purses!

The black quilted Kate Spade New York is my favorite. The gold chain and zipper instantly added more cuteness to it. Love the black and gold color combination, it is always so classy. (Purdue color is black and gold too, forever hail Purdue!). It has one big compartment with some phone and card slots at the side. It also has a zipper compartment at the side. The purse has a lot of room for all my stuffs: my wallet, big ass phone, some make ups, hand cream, id holder, tissue paper, snacks. It is very versatile and it matches everything in my closet. The shoulder strap is removable too.

I got this coral purse from Coach. I wasn't gonna get anything from Coach, I went there to get some souvenirs for family but I ended up getting this purse. This purse is so cute in shape and color. It has 3 compartments. It is not as big as the black KSNY but it can fit all my stuffs in it with extra room.

Thanks for reading :)

Happy Independence Day

Happy July 4th! Are you ready for the fireworks?

I went to Turkey Run State Park in Indiana with my bf and couple friends. It was my first time going to a state park. We set up the BBQ grill and had BBQ as lunch. Then we went canoeing along the river, the view was awesome! It has been so long since I last canoed. There is 10 trails at the park so we decided to go on the trails. The trails are at both sides of the river and there are only 2 bridges going to the other side and one of them was closed! It was very fun that we walked across the river at the shallow side (opps, we weren't allowed to) and created our own trail because it was getting dark and we needed to get to the opposite side and the only bridge was miles away. It was a great experience tho, I love it!

Get ready for canoe!!

I spent my night at home watching fireworks as my apartment is facing downtown. Fireworks were amazing! It was almost 20 minutes long. Of course Churro got scared again and mama need to comfort him :P

Canoeing & tubing
