It came with a free animal lens case (not pictured). </span><br />

Comfort: 5/5<br />
Since they are the same size (14.2) as my regular prescription contacts (Acuvue TruEye), I've been wearing these lenses for full days (8+ hours) with very little to no discomfort. At times when I put them in, I can feel that there is something in my eye, and at times I can't feel anything at all, but that's more my eyes problem - finicky. I had trouble at first figuring out which side is right side up and thus my eye suffered a bit, but I've gotten the hang of it and since have not had the same problem. <br />
<br />
Enlargement: 3/5 Slightly enlarging due to the darker brown limbal ring. Very natural looking if that is what you are going for (it is what I wanted and am happy I picked this pair). I like how it gives my eyes a glossiness. <br />
<br />
Design: 5/5 Again, the design is perfect for a natural look. The limbal ring is a darker brown that blends nicely into the lighter brown. I've noticed that my natural eye color itself has a darker limbal ring, quite unnoticeable from afar, so I really like how this design seems to mimic a natural eye while giving eyes a little pop.<br />
<br />
Honeycolor: 5/5 This is my first time ordering from honeycolor.com and I was impressed by their customer service. I had initially ordered the Max Pure Brown lenses, but a few days after my order, I received an email stating that the Max Pure Brown in my prescription (-7.5 for left eye an d-7.0 for right, very blind) were out of stock. They offered to change my order should I wish to try a different lens or they would refund me. So I went back onto the site, decided on these lenses and emailed them back with my choice and prescription. In addition, I was worried about how they would refund me the difference in cost (Geo wings are less pricey than Max Pure). I received a prompt response within a day. Shipping time takes a while (about 3 weeks for me in California) but that's understandable as these ship from Malaysia, I believe. I did have an issue with trying to figure out if these lens were fake or not. I'd read somewhere that Geo has an anti-fake sticker but my lens did not come with these stickers. After doing some googling comparing fakes to real lenses, I decided to just test these out anyway. Again, the lens are great, very little to no discomfort for 8+ hours, but I'm still curious why there was no anti-fake sticker.<br />
<br />
Verdict: These lens are pretty amazing and I'm set on ordering more of the Geo wings in purple, grey, and possibly blue from honeycolor..<br />

I don't frequently shop at Old Navy as I've never been able to find things I like from here. However, I've been on the hunt for a pair of high-waisted denim and found a pair on oldnavy.com going for $15 bucks right now. In addition, I ordered a few other pieces that I wanted to try, since shipping is free at a $50 purchase. Plus, returns can be made to stores. Here are the items reviewed:<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VFbG3lFSV1U/UAWrY4ocMGI/AAAAAAAAClk/7ihxvhAlF24/s1600/Photo+on+2012-07-13+at+17.28.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VFbG3lFSV1U/UAWrY4ocMGI/AAAAAAAAClk/7ihxvhAlF24/s320/Photo+on+2012-07-13+at+17.28.jpg" width="197" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D1yR4m_Ahsc/UAWrZOGCn6I/AAAAAAAACls/z5lUj5GN4uY/s1600/Photo+on+2012-07-13+at+17.31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D1yR4m_Ahsc/UAWrZOGCn6I/AAAAAAAACls/z5lUj5GN4uY/s320/Photo+on+2012-07-13+at+17.31.jpg" width="174" /></a><br />
First are the <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=70140&vid=1&pid=158838&scid=158838012">High-Rise Retro Flare</a> denims. I got these in a 4 short as my petite size was out. I love the fit at my waist, however as you can see the flare is really big and eats up my whole foot. In the second photo, I pinned the left leg to be a slimmer flare and much prefer it that way. Since these were only $15, I'm going to keep them and slim down the legs to be either a slight flare or skinny. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xdTCVraYRMA/UAWrYDsLVeI/AAAAAAAAClU/A7XrUuBjLkE/s1600/Photo+on+2012-07-13+at+17.22+%232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xdTCVraYRMA/UAWrYDsLVeI/AAAAAAAAClU/A7XrUuBjLkE/s320/Photo+on+2012-07-13+at+17.22+%232.jpg" width="194" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F5-dSgttP8M/UAWrYWSmOdI/AAAAAAAAClc/QeY5ePhIpJY/s1600/Photo+on+2012-07-13+at+17.23+%233.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-F5-dSgttP8M/UAWrYWSmOdI/AAAAAAAAClc/QeY5ePhIpJY/s320/Photo+on+2012-07-13+at+17.23+%233.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
I ordered <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=70140&vid=1&pid=884983&scid=884983022">this pair</a> as well to try out as it was also only $15. I liked the sailor style and ordered these in a 4 petite. I don't like the fit of these as much as the ones above. The pockets kind of stick out and the leg is just not for me. If the waist fit better, I may keep them and taper them down but since that's not the case here, I'll be returning this pair. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next is the <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=72302&vid=1&pid=118495">Light-Weight Camp Shirt in Blue/Red Plaid</a>. I ordered this in a Petite Small. There's a variety of designs to this shirt and I'm planning on ordering a gingham print next. I'm glad this shirt worked out. I have a difficult time with button-up shirts as they tend to be a bit too tight in the bust area when they fit elsewhere. I was pleasantly surprised when I buttoned this up and there was no pulling whatsoever. It is a bit tight from shoulder to shoulder at the back but not uncomfortably so. The length is perfect for my 5 foot self and I don't need to hem the sleeves, which is pretty amazing, so this is a keeper.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The last item I ordered is this <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=60790&vid=1&pid=897401&scid=897401012">cropped basket-weave sweater</a>. I was drawn to the basket-weave texture as I love anything basket-weave, however this sweater was so ill-fitting on me I just could not take a picture of it. Immediately when I put it on, even without looking into the mirror, I could tell this just did not work. It was basically too bulky everywhere then really tight at the bottom and sleeve ends. Plus the sleeves stopped a a very awkward length. These are definitely going back, no doubt.</div>

I had so much fun with this challenge that I decided to post 2 different outfits! Through this challenge, I have found new & professional ways to wear what's already in my closet and it couldn't be at any better time, as March is the month of internship interviews for me.<br />
<br />
What I've learned from this challenge: I don't wear much accessories and I need another pair of work pumpsNkaujhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14493154501322904439noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758332011837027561.post-60289833132854999582012-01-30T00:21:00.000-08:002012-01-30T00:21:08.549-08:00Lastest Obsession<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My latest obsession is with collar pin/bars.

I have been dreading this day because I am not ready to go back to all the homework and assignments I will have to do, not to mention no more sleeping in. Hopefully I can spend more time this weekend to complete some sewing projects; I won't have the time to do so until summer so gotta get it out of my system. Here is the outfit I wore for class today (terribly quality, yes):<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I finished sewing up this top, I was initially unhappy with it. I felt the purple color was too light to be flattering on me and the shape was just boxy all over. However, after playing around, mixing it with other items in my closet, I've found this shirt to be much more appealing and good for layering.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We drank lychee sake martinis and watched "You got served" on Netflix and I fell asleep halfway through. I woke up refreshed this morning and made jaeyook bokum and jajangmyun for us. <br />

I don't really do resolutions because I am very bad at keeping them but my goals for this year are to continue my schooling, continue learning more techniques in sewing, and to take more photos.Nkaujhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14493154501322904439noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758332011837027561.post-41820902701382385612011-11-25T20:46:00.000-08:002011-11-25T20:46:02.924-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just purchased the <a href="http://us.asos.com/ASOS-Cropped-Flare-Pant/wg392/?iid=1645369&SearchQuery=tawny%20port&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Tawnyport&mporgp=L0FTT1MvQVNPUy1Dcm9wcGVkLUZsYXJlLVRyb3VzZXIvUHJvZC8.">Tawny Port pants</a> from Asos.com for only $20 bucks!

It was a bit cold, water was freezing, but the sun was shining quite nicely. It's such a peaceful thing, to watch the waves come in and out is really meditative for me.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I don't wear lipstick very often so I was happy to find that all of these colors are fairly neutral. # 1, 2, and 5 are my absolute favorites and I switch between them regularly. # 3 and 4 have a bit too much of a shimmer and are good for night time. I also sometimes dab a bit of either of these two to the middle of my lips for a dash of color with the neutrals.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The lipsticks are a very light consistency, creamy but not sticky. The colors don't stay on well if I am eating, drinking, etc. It is very light that sometimes I forget I have lipstick and its also quite nourishing to my lips making them feel soft and smooth. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I got all 5 as sample from my Lancome order. Generally I would not buy it because I just can't talk myself into paying $20+ for a lipstick. I do realllly like these lipsticks however so will probably buy more colors in the future.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

What could it be? Oh, just the fabric I've been waiting for. I'll let it speak for itself.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I ordered these from Fabric.com about a week ago. The white material is crinoline that will become a petticoat. I''ll be following <a href="http://sugardale.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-make-petticoat.html">Sugardale's</a> tutorial. The Yellow is Linen. I was expecting a mustard/goldish/burnt yellow, however this yellow is more sunflower but still lovely. This fabric will most likely become a pair of shorts. The orange is a 100% cotton with a small ivory repeating print. I honestly don't know what this will become but I loved the fabric so much I just had to buy it. It has met my expectations. The red is a broadcloth that I am pleasantly surprised with. i bought it to go with the mod-ish with with red squares fabric. I'm planning to make a version of this! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also bought a pair of salmon cotton pants while shopping on Easter Day in Union Square. I don't shop at Gap, ever. I've never really been in to basic clothes. However, their 40% off everything lulled me in. Sure enough I found these pretty pants. I've been craving some colorful bottoms due to Zara. These are a 2 Regular but the length fits me perfectly, hitting at my ankle. Yeah, they are probably meant to be capri-ish style but they work as pants for me. I also bought a v-neck in a bluish-grey. It's the softest shirt ever! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XNQnqeO1XP0/TbYrz1kS7mI/AAAAAAAAA58/0q6IRdP2bSQ/s1600/P1015989.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XNQnqeO1XP0/TbYrz1kS7mI/AAAAAAAAA58/0q6IRdP2bSQ/s320/P1015989.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm really excited to practice pattern making as that is a huge interest for me. I even went out and bought some pattern paper so that I can begin drafting. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to study and really practice what these books teach which is making me heavily consider quitting my part-time. Just look at these illustrations for Dorothy Moore's book; they make my heart melt.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Which means I am now doing two jobs. It's pretty draining already and it's only been a week so I'm really hoping I can manage. I do not however, have any time to do all the things that make me calm and happy. I get home around 6, have dinner, then work from 7-12, sleep. Do it all again the next day. I definitely like the job and appreciate having a job but it has given me a revelation.<div><br />
</div><div>For a very long time, ever since I started sewing and making clothes, I have wanted to pursue a career in apparel design. There are plenty of people around me who believe in me, but I've always been held back because I didn't really think I could do it. However, I have seriously considered taking classes to get certified in apparel making in the industry. Primarily, I have been looking into Apparel Arts in San Francisco. FIDM would be nice but right now it is not something I can afford and Apparel Arts provides me with the certification, flexible classes, and it is not tooo expensive. I am particularly interested in patternmaking and that would be one of the first classes I'd want to take, even if not getting certified. Just the thought of creating patterns everyday, working with fabrics, and sewing for a living puts a humongous smile on my face. </div><div><br />
</div><div>I don't know what will happen in the future, guess that is why I have this thing to look back on. But I know that I will regret it if I don't even try to pursue this and I know I cannot live with that. </div><div><br />
</div><div>In the meantime, I won't even have a real "space" for the next half-month to month and won't be able to do any sewing which will make me a sad, stressed, grumpy person. =[</div>Nkaujhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14493154501322904439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758332011837027561.post-12532074549844308212011-02-23T23:27:00.000-08:002011-02-23T23:27:50.464-08:00Shoe lust<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HngQk9zAJTc/TWYHOIo1tyI/AAAAAAAAA40/7QZ7dROMctA/s1600/17389-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HngQk9zAJTc/TWYHOIo1tyI/AAAAAAAAA40/7QZ7dROMctA/s320/17389-1.jpg" width="224" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4d4_i8J2DpQ/TWYHMfnA46I/AAAAAAAAA4k/3210la9rTac/s1600/24165-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4d4_i8J2DpQ/TWYHMfnA46I/AAAAAAAAA4k/3210la9rTac/s320/24165-5.jpg" width="224" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KdetrRe19i4/TWYHMktbBuI/AAAAAAAAA4o/Rhz16NBvT-U/s1600/15301-1re.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KdetrRe19i4/TWYHMktbBuI/AAAAAAAAA4o/Rhz16NBvT-U/s320/15301-1re.jpg" width="224" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F5c0aokp0Cg/TWYHNXd3oMI/AAAAAAAAA4s/hryxoLtqx18/s1600/16825-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-F5c0aokp0Cg/TWYHNXd3oMI/AAAAAAAAA4s/hryxoLtqx18/s320/16825-1.jpg" width="224" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BRSf5rUQz-8/TWYHN3P5JCI/AAAAAAAAA4w/iTylO2MP2pg/s1600/17263-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BRSf5rUQz-8/TWYHN3P5JCI/AAAAAAAAA4w/iTylO2MP2pg/s320/17263-1.jpg" width="224" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tpYDOU1c-cE/TWYHlkqltUI/AAAAAAAAA48/1BZZ0YW9iiw/s1600/19156-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tpYDOU1c-cE/TWYHlkqltUI/AAAAAAAAA48/1BZZ0YW9iiw/s320/19156-5.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I haven't had much time lately to spend on projects since I've started working and will be starting a second job this upcoming Monday =) I am also in a transitioning stage and will be bumming with family and friends for the next half month to a month which means I don't have a space to do my projects. I must work hard so I can afford a simple studio for me and my sewing endeavors.Nkaujhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14493154501322904439noreply@blogger.com1
