Traveling

Just a little heads-up, I’ll be away for break for about a month, so updates will be rare unless I schedule a post. I will probably manage to find Wifi somewhere, and even then, I’m going to try to use the computer as little as I can. Let’s see how that will go.

Things I picked up that I will be using profusely on this trip:


Shot my first roll and got it developed yesterday. Only happy with a tiny fraction of the photos, but I’m immensely fascinated with film and the colors that are produced, so I’m definitely going to keep trucking away with this camera. Will share some shots after I get back!


Chanel’s “Steel.” It’s part of their Soho collection. It’s a really nice, rich dark dark grey with rich metallic undertones. I’ve never tried Chanel nail polish before, but after I get a manicure with this color, if I like how the formula is, my next color is definitely going to be Particuliere.


Not sure if I love this yet, but YSL’s Singulier mascara. With makeup, I never buy anything brand name because I feel like fashion houses should stick to fashion, their makeup is so often not worth the ginormous prices they charge just for their name. And this mascara is guilty of just that, but 1) I don’t have time before I leave to return it, 2) I’ll indulge just this once. It’s gold and it looks so elegant!


F21 cardigan from their Minnie Mouse line. It’s adorable and I love the singular Minnie logo on the breast pocket.

I feel so smart and accomplished for finally doing this, but instead of bringing all big bottles of girly products with me, I transferred everything into small jars from Muji. Unfortunately, I’m not a girl who can just use any kind of moisturizer, shampoo, condition I get at my hotel, I have to use what I bought. And all my crap comes in big bottles! I wanted to pack extremely lightly, so that’s what I did.

As for the stickers…well, I didn’t have labels around so I figured I could finally put some stickers to use. So cute!

    Have fun on your trip! I love the Nikon Camera by the way. When I picked up my Canon A1 a couple years back, 75% of my first roll came out either blurry or bleh but the few that came out clear were nice and vibrant and some of my fave pics I have taken to date. There is just something fun and exciting about using manual SLRs and other film cameras (lomography cameras are another of my faves) that keeps me coming back even though I still use my digital camera for some things.

    please, tell me what you thing about that YSL mascara. I’ve been thinking about getting one soon . Chanel nail polish colors are amazing , but if you don’t apply it correctly, it doesnt last longer than a week –”

    have fun on your trip !

    haha, i do the whole transferring-stuff-to-little-bottles thing too, except mine aren’t nearly as cute. i was looking forward to reading your drama review after your music one, but looks like i’ll have to wait a little longer. enjoy your break!

    Have a fun and safe trip! Takes tons of pictures!

    You’ll get better with your photography as you use the Nikon camera more. I’ve always wanted to get a professional camera to work with but no money.

    I never tried Chanel nail polish either, let me know how that goes.

    The stickers as labels for the containers are cute!
