I got my YesStyle (an online Asian fashion store with well-known/unique brands from China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea) package today!! FINALLY! It only took 23 days...I also bought... [drum roll please: doogadoogadoogadooga] a Googims hoodie (I'm modeling on the left)!! I was a bit scared I didn't order the right size because (1) all the models on YesStyle are very slim and petite, (2)because Asian sizes usually fit smaller... but I checked the measurements before I ordered, and (3) because I've never ordered any clothes online before by myself (besides maybe a tee from Threadless.. but I tried the shirt on before I bought it). Their smalls are actually the size of a small-medium. I have a problem with sweatshirts -- they are either too big in the shoulders and armpit, or everything else doesn't fit right. Lucky enough this fits perfectly! I'm extremely happy with it. It's something different, yaknow? If you can't see the print, it tells you how many calories you burn when you do various activities (mainly chores). For example, when you do laundry, you burn 25 calories every 10 minutes. When you take a bath, you burn 28cal/10 min. I just hope nobody comes up to me and tries to read it... that's why I don't like wearing graphic tees haha
Btw, Googims is a brand from South Korea. Wanna tell people you're on a diet? That you're single? Busy? Hot? Stressed? Dry for over a year? They sell a lot of cute t-shirts and bags with motivational messages (like the one on the right $48USD)!
Check them out!
See, the reason why I adore online shops such as YesStyle, is because what you see on there you can't find HERE. Plus, sometimes the prices can be pretty darn reasonable.
Anyway, I'm quite impressed with YesStyle and definitely won't hesitate to order from them in the future. I'm currently waiting for their winter coats to be in stock! The reason why I bought from them was because they had free shipping if you ordered $99USD or more so I combined my order with M (who bought a pair of music shoes). I really hate paying for shipping and handling. Usually, you'd have to purchase over $200USD for free shipping. You also get $5 off your first purchase when you create an account (which is easy peasy lemon squeezy).
So since this blog is all about YesStyle, I'll show you some of the things they sell:
Chunzane# (South Korea)
Bit Button Double Breasted Trench ($88USD)
Hankerchief Hem Knit Dress (Black) ($38USD)
Donda (South Korea)

Whew! It's already Saturday.
Oh and scary thing about the plane crashing into the apartment in Richmond, eh? R.I.P. Pilot.
Totally forgot to talk about my day! Very quickly: Had GIS lab and Cyrille (TA) knows my name. Shopping downtown w/ M to find her church clothes. Bumped into Martha (great coat!), Theresa, and Katherine (so smart she had rainboots!). Stepped into GIANT, unavoidable puddles... thank goodness my shoes were cheap. Found a Guess Outlet-type store with 50% everything (cute things like dresses for $25(!!) but all summer clothes and no money). Ate at Kintaro Ramen on Denman for the 3rd time. Oh yea - I tried CHEESE ramen, which is ramen with a bunch of sharp cheese on top... I don't think I'll ever have it again b/c the cheese was a bit much after a couple bites. I think my ramen needed a bit of gochujang (super flavourful Korean red pepper paste)... 'cause you know - Gochujang goes with everything BUT cereal.
