Hello San Francisco

It's been two years since we last met. I'm finally breathing you again.

Yup, I'll spend my entire weekend here. Don't be too surprise if you catch me shopping in Union Square. See ya!

Pink Gradient

Thanks to youtube and all the fashionistas' creativity and willingness to share their secrets, beauty tips are more accessible than 10 years ago. Every single thing that you need to know to make yourself prettier is at your fingertip now.

Just two days ago I accidentally found an awesome video on youtube while I was watching Taiwan's famous talk show, Kang1 Xi1 Lai2 Le1.

You must watch the clip below!!!



I was super eager to try the gradient effect on my nails after watching the clip. Guess what...


Taa daa~~ I made them in P.I.N.K and lightly accessorized them ❤❤


Super duper adorable and super duper easy to make!


I think they look as pro as salon nails, seriously.


I bet you can't argue that beautiful nails do make girls more attractive *W.I.N.K*


Heart my newly made Pink Gradient Nails to death ❤❤

One money saving tip to share if you are tempt to try this out (speaking from my experience).


Don't throw the sponge yet after dabbing the nail polish...


Cut away the used and unwanted portion...


And save the unused portion for next time. Smart or not? :p

Anyway, have you watched the clip yet? Go glam up your nails now~~



With Love,
Bev

I ❤ NY - Part II (Shopping & Dinning)

Hello people~~ I'm back with more updates about my NY trip!!! But after editing 28 pictures on a hard day, I'm completely burned out now. So this will be another brief and crisp posting, well, at least I have 28 pictures to show :p

It's New York, ok. New York. Be tolerant then ^__________^V

** Day 2 **


Gonna start off with my very SATC photo ❤❤


Times Square.


It was really warm that day, pardon my "constipated" look.


Inspirations are everywhere.


At M&M store. Back to 15 again :p


Spongebob and Mickey at work!


So Disney right?


Hello Tiger~~


Tipping! There's no free lunch in the world, not in NY.


In Chinatown, craved for Chinese breakie ;)


Woo Hoo~~ Good foods always make my day :D


A quick snap of Chean in Chinatown.


Uniqlo in Soho. Shopping time ❤❤


Super crowded and super packed with tourists and shopaholics.


Queuing to pay. ^________^V


Uniqlo was the first stop but I already spent most of my money @.@


At Steven in Soho. Great place for great shoes.


Macy's, the worlds largest department store in NYC.


Sunset and the busy roads...


Time for dinner!!! Korean Cuisine at Shila.


Side dishes...


Seafood scallion pancake. My fave ❤❤


Cod fish chigea (if not mistaken :p)

That concludes our 2nd day in NYC. The 3rd day was about foods and shopping again. Well, those are the reasons I came to NY :p



** Day 3 **


Was having a super bad hair day. I literally overslept and went out of time to do my hair. T________T


On Subway.


Thank god we still managed to meet our good friends for Dim Sum in Flushing. They are family to me and Chean.


Then, backed to shopping in Soho again :p This time at Mango, MNG.


On our way to airport. Bye Bye, NYC. I'll see you again next year :D

Phewww... D.O.N.E. Gonna grab a glass of Merlot now. See you again tomorrow!



Miss you,
Bev

H.A.I.R.B.A.N.D

Another quickie. Don't hate me yet, I'm not slacking, I'm just busy traveling. So bare with me for a little while more, k?

Bought two new hairbands recently but hardly find any excuses to use them yet. I often attack by migraine and headache every time I try to put hair accessories on my head for more than 2 hours. God knows why.

But I still love to own them because they glam up a boring outfit instantly and add different elements to my "look of the day."

Well, I'm sure will I ever use them in the near future. Maybe yes, maybe no. Who cares anyway, they look great on pictures ^__________^V




Braided hairband from H&M. You don't have to be blonde to wear this, it's just another hairband ;)




Studded headband from F21.

I know you miss me. I'll be back soon~~ Enjoy your weekend :D


p/s: Yup, I dyed my hair again. It's still the same Lucido-L Hazelnut I got previously ;)



Hugs & kisses,
Bev

The Comeback

I'm super into shoes recently, especially those super-high one. High heels elongate my legs and make them look stick skinny and super looooooong. I don't think I can live without heels now.

When I was in NY last weekend, I fell in love with Prada Studded Clogs (US$ 595). Tried it twice at Prada flagship store in Soho but just can't afford to bring it home yet.


So I turned to MNG and bought this instead.

High heeled clogs make a comeback this year; it's another next big trend. Heart it ❤❤

Happy Birthday, Chean

I know you want to keep it simple every year. Follow your heart and do whatever feels right to you, I'll support you with all my hearts. All I want is for you, for us to be happy.







Happy Birthday, darling. I ❤ you, now and forever.



Muaks,
Bao Bei

I ❤ NY - Part I (Times Square & Subway)

Travel to NY from Portland requires a 6-hours flight and 3 hours jet lag, all the way from west to east.


Sipping my daily dose of caffeine at Portland airport. It was 6a.m. and I was literally sleepwalking.


They said, if you're lucky, you'll see three breathtaking snowy mountains while flying to the east. Chean saw them all while I was at sleep (but this picture only shows one :p). Needless to say, a lucky day was granted :D


Hello Jersey~~ I guess.


The awesome golf court I saw while landing at JFK (one of NY airports).


On the yellow cab, was heading to hotel.


Upon check-in.


I stayed at Time Hotel in Time Square, just right across Chicago Theatre Building. How A.W.E.S.O.M.E!

But we didn't get to watch any Broadway shows; we didn't have that luxury of time to do what typical tourists would do. Anyway, we used to live in NY and watched many many broadway shows before; this trip is solely for shopping and foods. That's all I wanted to do ;)


Room 901.


Not spacious, and not even luxurious although this room cost us few hundred dollars per night.


But it's located at Times Square, and it's NY. I can live with that ^_________^


Times Square is all about neon lights, billboards, advertisements and crowds!!!


The sleepless city and me (I looked pretty sleepless too @.@).


SATC 2 movie billboards are everywhere.


Policemen here ride on horses, same as Portland. Don't ask cause I don't understand why either. But it's beyond cool to look at!


Uploaded this pic simply because I looked skinny in that. Haha :p


Take you to the subway now.


NY subway is as convenient as Hong Kong MTR. Who needs a car?


Busy walkway in the subway station.


New Yorkers are always on the run. I can live with that too ;)


We were going to hunt for foodsssss :D


The train is here!!!


Chean on the train.


It's me!!! (FYI, I have no idea why those passengers next to me looks to desperate, perhaps it was late and they were tired, you tell me.)


Hopped on another transit train.


Vain and stupid, I know. But it's NY, who cares? By the way, my hair is getting longer! Y.A.Y!!!

I'll bring some famous NY foods over for the next post. It's going to extra-yummylicious and beyond fabulous.

Tell me you love NY too ❤❤




Love,
Bev and the city
