Kawaii!

So I went back and forth with myself, on whether or not I would do this post.

Colored contact lenses seem to be the bain of all existence and can be linked to 94% of all reports of puppy kicking and baby punching.

Okay, not really, but everyone seems to hate them. I love them so here's my post.

I ordered 5 pairs of circle lenses from HoneyColor.com and qualified for free express shipping. They came super fast, about 4 business days, all the way from Singapore. I actually really like their site. Unlike CandyLens, and other circle lens sites, they have a big variety of lenses that can be ordered plano (no prescription) or with prescription for blind bitches like me.

As you can see from the photo above, all of the lenses come in nice HoneyColor boxes, that contain 2 vials, one for each lens. Each pair also came with its own free contact lens case.

Look how adorbs! Hippo, pig, elephant, and um...sea creature thing?

Here's my regular ol' eyes.

Beaucon Shimmer Brown: I like these. They resemble my old Freshlook Colorblend lenses.

Hyper Natural Brown

Geo Bambi Almond (Princess Mimi)

Geo Fresh Brown: probably my favorite pair. Very subtle but gives your eyes a little shimmer. Even Panda, who always looks into my eyes because he is so mesmerized and enamored with me (or maybe just in my head) could not tell I had them on.

As you can see in the very last photo, my left eye looks a bit different from the right. I think I may have put the left lens in inside out. Definitely the drawback of circle lenses, as they can be very, very uncomfortable if they are put in on the wrong side.

Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend, if you enjoy being semi-fobby like myself.

Date Night

Had a nice date night out at PF Chang's recently.  Maybe I went because it's Chinese New Year, or maybe I had completely forgotten and just went because they serve food there. Either way, Happy Chinese New Year!

They have a special drink to celebrate the new year, called 'Dragon Punch'. Our server (who was very nice, by the way) rattled off the ingredients pretty quickly, which of course, I paid no attention to.  All I heard was "strawberry puree", "lemon juice", and "vodka".

Sold.

Little did I know, one of the ingredients is also sriracha sauce. I didn't recognize what that was, so I assumed it was some kind of awesome asian ginger something or other. Sriracha is hot sauce.

I have to say, I don't recommend putting sriracha sauce in drinks.  I honestly couldn't pay attention to anything my date said for about 30 minutes.  Not one to waste alcohol, I drank about two thirds of the drink and ordered the next without it.  You can check out the actual recipe here.

Want.

Jeffrey Campbell "The Shadow Spike and Stud bootie".

These are so dope, I think I went blind for a few minutes after looking at them.

Sadly, I can't do anything with these. A seven inch heel puts me at a solid 6'3". Damn you, short girls. Damn you to hell.

Buy these here for me, size nine.

Haul 1/19

I got a text from a friend today, telling me that Bloomingdale's at the Perimeter mall is closing. Everything in the store is 20-40% off. I'd definitely head up there to check it out.

I didn't buy anything from there, but I ended up wandering around and got a couple of good (cheaper) finds.

Down jacket - Forever 21, workout pants - Forever 21, high waist leggings - Zara

These pictures don't really do the leggings any justice. They look a lot cuter on, in person. Oddly enough, this picture also makes my feet look way bigger than they really are. Okay, no it doesn't.
