Yoppi: Froyo Time~!

Today I went to have a reading hangout with my friend. We ended up going to get some frozen yogurt close by because it was just too damn hot outside (around 35C plus 85% humidity). I love this froyo place! I think it is so adorable! All the cute colours and also all the different flavours! Sorry I don't have a photo of the choices I totally forgot to take one! Next time! This Yoppi store is in the TianMu area near Taipei American School (my old school). The prices are determined by the weight of your cup. I don't remember the conversion but my yogurt was 148nt or around $5usd. I ended up getting Chocolate and Peanut-butter flavor yogurt! It was just right for this kind of weather here in Taipei! 

Here is me with my froyo! Yummy!

July Reading List

I have changed up my reading list for this summer but I still am reading the books I said I would read. I recently got two new books, both by Cassandra Clare. I got the first book of her "The Mortal Instruments" series "City of Bones" which the film will be coming out this summer and also "Clockwork Angel" from "The Infernal Devices" trilogy. Now I wanted to add these to my reading list so I split up my summer reading list to July and August. This is the July list! 

I am currently reading City of Bones and also I am still finishing up World War Z 
I will have a review of World War Z up very soon (as soon as I finish it) 

Here is the list! 
I will also most likely be reading these in this order. 
If you want more information and some update on how my progress is going with my reading here is my goodreads! http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/16507299-jane

Sababa Pita Bar

Today I went to Sababa Pita Bar with my friend! I love this place, I have been going here since middle school. Sababa is a Middle Eastern restaurant, the one I went to is by Gongguan MRT Stop in Taipei. Here is their website for more information: http://www.sababapita.com/franchise.php I think the prices are not too bad they are around 150nt or $5usd for one pita sandwich. The prices are a bit pricey at times but I love the food and I think it is worth it. This place to me is also a place for a treat or sometimes special occasions, not something you can go everyday. The food is also quite healthy in the fact that it is not very oily and everything is very natural! You don't feel really stuffed after eating. The feel and the vibe of the place is great! It has a very well of course Middle Eastern feel, very boho and gypsy like. The place is also quite dark, so sorry about the lighting in the photos. 

Here is me eating my lovely lamb shawarma which is shaved lamb with hummus, tomatoes, lettuce and mint yogurt 
Here is the sign outside of Sababa
Here is what the outside looks like

I love these little tea pots and spices

We also went to the book store today to see if there was anything we wanted to get! I got two book that I have been dying to get my hands on which are two books from Cassandra Clare. I got "Clockwork Angel" from "The Infernal Devices" Trilogy and also "City Of Bones" from "The Mortal Instruments" series. I am so excited to read these! Especially "City Of Bones" mostly because the movie is coming the end of this August! I can't wait to see the movie! It has one of my favourite actresses as the main protagonist aka, Lily Collins. I love her! I think she is so beautiful and she reminds me of a modern day Audrey Hepburn. Hopefully I will be able to add these to my to reads list for the summer and still get to all the other books I wanted to read! I have till mid September to read all before school starts so hopefully I'll have plenty of time! I am just so excited!

Summer Essentials: Skater Skirt

I love skater skirts! I think they are really cute and simple for the summer! You can pop on any kind of top from a sweater to a crop tee and anything goes! I personally love wearing skater skirts because they are light and simple. Also very flattering for any kind of body type! It hugs the waist well and just flares out and give the appearance of a small waist. 
I think they are a great summer essential because skirts for me at least have always felt lighter and gave me more of a breeze and also it goes with any top! 

There are SO MANY different kind of skater skirts so whatever your style is you can always find one that suits you the best and your wardrobe 

I hope you stay cool this summer and have fun with your outfits

Simple Summer Outfits

The one thing I don't like about summer is that I cannot layer my outfits especially since I live in Taipei, Taiwan and it is extremely humid and hot here. It feels like 40C and the humidity is around 80%. Layering is out of the picture. 

But that doesn't mean that you have to look super plain with denim shorts and a really generic t-shirt to stay cool this summer. I found some great outfit ideas that are super cute, super fun and also is light and great to beat the summer heat! 

You'll be amazing how great a tank and shorts look when you have the right combo and mix it up with your materials! You don't always have to stick with denim. I hope you get some inspiration from these outfits like I have! Stay cool this summer and have fun~!

Mr. Papa Waffle and Cafe

Yesterday I went to Mr.Papa Waffle and Cafe with my friend. I absolutely love this place! I found it near my university. Close to Guting MRT stop in Taipei City and I just love the environment and surroundings. I just think this place is totally adorable! 
They have a wide range of different types of waffles and drinks and the highest price on the menu was 120nt or $4usd which are amazing prices when you think about it! It also has a down fee of 50nt or $1.60 usd to just sit there which is basically just a coffee. 
I really love this place! It smells really nice and they have wonderful snacks and it is a great place to study and do homework. It is also quite small so it doesn't get loud inside so it is rare to have noise disturbances when you are studying or just chilling with friends. 
Here is me with my Vanilla Banana Ice Cream Waffle
It was really yummy! I really liked how they also added some chocolate syrup on top to add even more flavors in your mouth 
That is the logo that you see on the street when walking over
This is what the cafe looks like from the outside
This is where all the magic happens 
This is the back wall of Mr.Papa

So cute they even added a white chocolate heart on top!

Trends: Green

This year it is all about going Green! 
I personally love the colour green, it feels fresh, clean and healthy 
This S/S season has three greens

                    
                                                           

I love the mix of pastel mint to lime green with this season colours! Also Emerald green 2013's offical colour! It's that awesome to represent this year with this years colour! I don't own a lot of green but I do really enjoy the mint colour and the whole pastels from this season. Pastels are one of my favourite colours, they are very light and are not harsh on the eyes and it reminds me of arts class using pastels. Another great thing about green is that with the right shade it goes with every colour which is great for matching the perfect outfit.
