The new member of my shoe collection~~~

If any of you still remember my older posts, I had one post talking about all my dear shoes.
Today I have one new member joining them, so I just wanna share with you guys. lol

I was just coming home from school like 1 hour ago and there it was sitting at my door. Haha. I've actually been excited about this for the whole day.

Just could not wait to open it and I also took a picture of the box. haha
As you can probably tell, my new babies are from Steve Madden. They are actually on sale right now. I do recommand you guys to check it out.

Aren't they pretty??? HAHA
I would love to give you guys the link to this pair of shoes, however, I think they are already sold out since they were on sale.
However, they still have more sale going on. I bet you would find yourself amazed at the STEVE MADDEN CLEARANCE.
I actually personally am thinking about getting more pairs, they just all look so attractive. lol

More pictures of my new shoes.

Well, I sure hope that I would look good in them. lol

Please do ignore my messy hair...

The same picture from last post. Just wanna give you a close picture of the georgous shoes!!~~

Asian Fabulous Stockings 1~~~~

So today I just wanna talk about one must-have item stocking!!~~
Correct me if I were wrong, but I always kind of think that the stockings in America is always either white or black or grey. You know just kinda boring.
So I wanna show you guys some Asian fabulous stockings. There are so many of them, it is not possible for me to show you all of them in just one single post. So this is just part 1~ lol

First, I just wanna give you a big picture of how it looks. You know the stocking I am showing you today which happens to be the one I am wearing today. lol

P.S. : the weather is really turning beautiful in Iowa City.

Now this is how the whole thing looks a bit closer. I know that my room is a mess. Don't remind me.

More closer!!~~ Does it not look a lot more interesting and fun than pale white stockings or not? lol

This is the picture you're gonna see in my next post. However, for now I wanna you guys to focus on the stockings. A close up shot of the stockings.
















Okay. I understand that this is really a short post. However, if you liked the post or the stockings, please do share it for me and keep reading it.

Thank you so much.
Have a nice one, girls!~~~

PREPPY LOOK!!!~~

My precious Spring Break is almost over, so I think it's better to make another post while I still got all these time to kill.
Today I'm introducing the preppy look that's so hot and popular in Asia for so long and still will be.
Personally I am not so into the "Preppy look". High heels don't normally go with preppy outfit so much. So for me I always love to combine the high heels and the preppy outfits.

 Taking pictures of myself in the mirror is probably one of my favorite activities. lol

 Happy Easter, Everyone!!!~~

















I am not quiet sure about here in the United States. In Asia, a preppy coat like the one I have on in the picture is a must-have for young girls.
Truth is, the one I have on in the picture looks a lot like one of my old uniforms. But it definitely is not!!! lol













Another major element for preppy look is definitely the hair-band that would make you look so like a good girl!!!!
I chose the one I picked out of a little retail store in China. Pink with a nice bow on it.
The amazing part about the hair-band is that you can adjust the bow anyway you want to.
Too bad I forgot to take a picture with the bow looking some way else.










I imagine some of you are enjoying your Spring Break just like I am.
Well, enjoy the rest of your break girls!!!~~~ Since I am going out tonight, so don't get too drunk!!!~~ lol

Accessories!!!

It's been so long since my last post.
Sorry about that!
So today we will be talking about accessories. I am going to throw out one crazy question: Who does not love those cute accessories????
I am going to start with my personal collection of accessories, so you girls would learn a little bit about my taste and see if we are alike.
I don't mean to show off, but my personal collection is too big to sum up in one post. lol So we are going to check a part of it out today.

First, is a bow shape necklace I like very much. This is actually what we call "sweater necklace" in China which means it goes best with winter sweaters.  However, I believe it goes perfect with any kind of style you want.
I got it in China and it cost only 10 Chinese money which is like 1.50 dollars. Good deal, right? lol

Another necklace that I love. As you can see, it's made with a tiny record tape. It's actually hand made by a Chinese girl who sells accessories she makes online in her own store. 
This one definitely does not go with prom dresses, but it's perfect with anything other than that. Honestly even perfect with sports wear. Trust me, I've tried.
   Like I said, I got this in China too and cannot remember the price now. Haha, sorry.

I only have 2 necklaces ready for today. So now we're getting into the bracelet department. lol
This one you can see in the picture is actually more like a rock-look. However, I prefer to wear it for casual outfits. You know, jeans and T-shirts. 
I got this one from the British brand: TOPSHOP. I'm pretty sure you cannot get the same one anymore. But do check it out, they update frequently.

If you've been reading my blog, you would know that I really am a huge fan of TOPSHOP. So another topshop bracelet that I just got at the beginning of this year.
Kinda rock-look, but the little white flower in the middle really keeps the balance though. Therefore, you can wear it any occasion you want to. Besides since it's a combination of 3 separate bracelets, you can play with the order of them. Isn't that fun???
So again, like I've said it so many times in the blog: do check out the fantastic brand: TOPSHOP.

The last bracelet for today again is from TOPSHOP. Haha. I'm not sure if you can get a clear view of it, it's made of white man-made pearls. That's why it's not expensive at all!!!
BTW, I just got this electric ball this month and it's a lot of fun. haha 
So do check out TOPSHOP.

In order to prove that I don't only own accessories from TOPSHOP, I'm ending this post with my hair band/ necklace from H&M.
In the first picture I'm wearing it as a necklace and then it turned into a hair band. Isn't that great?
BTW, the H&M is having this fabulous spring collection coming up in the April. I will have another post discussing that though. Possibly today.


Well, that's all I got for today.
If you do like my taste or blog, please share and support my blog.
Thank you so much.
Have a nice day!!!!!!

Internship Tips

Okay. First let me show off that I just got an intern opportunity at CNN Beijing.
I figured that this post will be totally out of fashion topic. But I think it's still necessary to post this about getting internship.
I understand that a lot of college students like me are struggling with intern oppotunities. With the economic now, it's not easy even if we are just offering free help. Even though I am journalism major, I think the tips I concluded should work generally with other majors as well. Hopefully you would find this useful.
First, I'll explain my situation. I'm turning junior next semester which really made it urgent for me to get an internship to collect more experiences in the industry.
So this leads to me now. I have sent out at least 15 resumes and cover letters to different media outlets 3 weeks ago which got no reply what so ever. Then I thought of one of my professor this semester. Her first major was Chinese and second major in journalism. Therefore, she has worked in China mainland and Hongkong for over 10 years which includes a few years at CNN Beijing. So with my desperation, I emailed her asking for information about CNN Beijing since I could not find anything about it on cnn.com. She was so nice that not only she sent me the email address of the editor of CNN Beijing and also wrote a recommandation letter to the editor. So 2 weeks ago, I sent my resume, my cover letter and a statement to the editor.

So here is my tip 1: Do not afraid to use any connections around you. Professors, friends, family friends... basically anything. People are generally happy to help you.

Before sending the emial to the editor, I realized that this could be my best shot at internship. So I took a really long time working on my resume, cover letter and statement. And then I sent it to the professor who recommanded me to this opportunity and had her reviewed it for me.

So, tip 2: Resume and cover letter are really important. Emphasize your advantages and try to find a way around your disadvantages. P.S.: I do not mean not to mention your disadvantages at all. Because they will find out eventually. So be honest with it, but do find a way around.

Tip 3: Never hesitate to ask experienced people to review your resume and cover letter to offer their advises. This could be really helpful.

After sending out my resume which was 1 week ago, I could not stop thinking about it. Waiting is really painful. Every single day I would ask my boyfrined something like: "Why haven't they replied me yet? They don't want me, do they?". Even my boyfriend was driven crazy by me.

Last, tip 4: Waiting is painful, but there would be an end. So be more patient.

This is pretty much I got and I would update anytime if I think of something.

If you find this useful, please let me know and support my blog.

Thank you. I will make another post about internship experience after I finish in the summer.
