11Street Review:How To Become Human Unicorn

Hello again dear readers.

Again I have done some internet shopping. This time from Korean online store 11street.

I have always been a hugh fan of  magical creatures, mostly unicorns. Therefor I got the idea while browsing 11street that why not become a human unicorn? It might sound crazy for some, but being a unicorn is one of my dreams, so why not.

To become a unicorn I need a unicorn costume, I need unicorn feet and I wanna be cute like cotton candy. Because it's also spring I want do make my hair pink with some pink hair extensions, which again looks great with a unicorn outfit.

During my browsing I found the seller Sweet Holic that sells animal pajamas. They have pretty much whatever animal you want, and also some other pajamas like unicorn, dragon, dinosaur etc. 

So I got really excited when I saw the baby pink unicorn costume. I had to get it!

Look how cute!

I bough it for 29,900 Won, veery cheap! I can just imagine what it would cost back home in Norway. I choose medium size to be sure. I'm 160 cm tall, and these costumes goes after height. Small is from 150-162 cm, medium is 162-175 and large is 175-187 cm. But because I'm very close to the medium size I chose to go for medium, I always become sad when I buy something that is too small.

I bough it and after only 1 day it arrived at my place. So quick! I got very surprised when it arrived so fast, and of course very happy. I could not wait to wear it.

And as I said I also bought matching pink hair extension from Gowoonhair on 11street. This is my second time buying from Gowoonhair because I had a great experience buying from them last time, you can see my last buy from them in my blog also.

My pink extension was originally 99.000 Won, but I got a big discount so the final price was not expensive at all.

My extensions arrived after 3 days after paying, which is also still very fast. I had pink hair back in 2011/2012 but forgot to bring my extensions with me to Korea. And now its spring, and perfect to wear cute pastel colors, I have fallen in love with this seasons trend of pastels. So this is a Must-Have on my spring list.

As they say. pictures say more than 1000 words. So now I will show you guys the photos of the items I have received. Starting with my unicorn pajama.

                

This is my pajama from the front. I also got matching slippers from the same seller that match my unicorn pajama perfectly.

            

This is my pajama from the back. It got wings, and a cute tail! First I was worried the tail might be annoying when sleeping, but actually I don't feel it at all, even if I'm the kind of person who sleep on the back. The wings too are okay when sleeping, no problem at all.

From the side.

                           

My attempt to fly with my wings. Didn't really work. Guess I will fly like a pro after some practice, just wait and see!





    

Cute feet!!



      

Unicorn head, making me feel like a real unicorn! 

Self-cam with my unicorn pajama on while studying. This pajama is so comfortable and perfect when stressed with a lot of schoolwork, guess I'm not the only one who have just been through midterm? Recommended for stressful days indoor!

Or even better, when using other methods of getting rid of stress

Me and my boyfriend with his dinosaur pajama from the same seller, outside eating and drinking at a local restaurant.

Now over to my pink hair extension which I really love alooooot! This section might be some heavy on self-cam, sorry!

These extensions are not only cute together with my pajama, but I have also been using them for my everyday look, when I go outside, or going to my university.

Acting cute, but fail. Who could have known this pink haired girl is actually a 23 year old female?  

I must say I'm sorry for my bad picture quality also, these one I took with my cellphone when I was relaxing between doing homeworks. I guess I'm not the only one who had the (bad) habit of taking self-photos while being bored?

  

But it doesn't stop there. I also took a short video clip with my digital camera, it does not have any sound, but at least you will see more clear what my extensions look like.

Hopefully, the quality will not be to bad. Blogger sometimes makes the quality really bad in videos.

My last photo of me and my extensions is this photo of me and my friend Rebecca, from when we went to Everland some days ago.

The extensions are really easy to use, it took be about 3-4 minutes to apply them. For those who don't know it's clip in extensions which I can put when I wake up and take off before going to bed.

This is how they look like when not being worn. They are quite long, wide and thick. So you don't need many to cover your whole head. It also depends on how much pink you want. On these pictures I'm wearing 4 on the side of my head, two on each side. I blend them together with my brown extensions. I got 6 but I don't need to use all of them at once. 4 covers well enough.

This is how its applied. Simple, and no one can even see it's not real. When I first got my hair I didn't know if its was human hair or not, because I could not read it in Korean, but I just found out its not human hair because I could not curl it, but that's not something I really need to do, so I don't mind. But the hair itself does look real, I would have never guessed its not human hair if I did not try to curl it. Which is a very good sign of course.

This is the end of my picture review and I will I will score overall experience with my 11street shopping this time..

Purchasing:

Just as with Sweet Holic I had no problem with buying from Goowonhair, their store is also easy to navigate, and choosing the right options went well also. 5/5 points

Shipping:

It took a little longer than Sweet Holic. But whenever I have bought something online in Korea it has mostly been 3 days waiting time or more. So its still fast compared to other sellers I have used in Korea in the past. Therefor it also get top score even it Sweet Holic was faster. 5/5 points.

Product:

As I said my hair is not human hair, but I could seriously not tell the different between my human hair extensions and these ones. so I got surprised when I noticed they were not real human hair. SO with regarding these are not human hair is of good quality and I have nothing bad to say about them. 5/5 points also. 

Will I buy from again?

Yes. This is my second time buying from this seller, and both times I've been pleased with my products. And for those who know me, I love hair, hair is for me the most important accessory I have. So changing it often is important.

Overall experience with 11street has been good. I would recommend others to check out 11street when they have many cheap products with great quality. You can even find same products elsewhere to higher price. So if you wanna save money, and do some fun online shopping go to 11streets webpage. (I'm already addicted, wops)

Care for some Poop-Bread? 동빵

When I first came to Seoul I saw this Place called Dong-Bang with poop shaped bread. Ever since I've really wanted to try it. And Lucky for me the closest Subway station to my Hasukjib, Hoegi station has open a Dong-Bang shop! I've also seen this store in other laces, like Sinchon where I lived in 2010.

They also sell drinks, like coffee and Smoothies. And everything is quite cheap. Even the cute bread is only 500 won. 

 

 

Even their bag is really, really cute! Mascot with a poo on his head and a happy smiling girl with buns in her hair.

 

You can choose between many flavors like strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and more. The girl is the vanilla flavor.

 

The poo is of course chocolate.

 

 

 

If you are like me, and think Dong Bang looks adorable, then I recommend to check out one of their stores if you are in Seoul and feel like giving yourself a cheap delicious treat.

Fake Hair Buy. Gowoon Hair Review

 

 

Let me admit, I'm addicted to wearing fake hair aka hair extensions. For many many years now I have used fake hair to make my hair longer than my natural hair. With my own hair I feel...Naked. And chubby. Maybe sound weird but I do look more fat if my hair is my own lenght. And I'm not blessed with having fast growing hair either. Or it grows fast, to it reach a certain lenght, but after that it stops growing fast.

So for other females like me, hair extensions is a life changer!

But these days I'm getting more lazy before going to school in the morning. Even if it takes like around 5 minutes, maybe a little more to put on my clip-in extensions I'm so sick of doing it every morning. So what was my totally awesome great mavelous idea?

Buy fake ponytail!

 

 

 

I started to look for cheap fake ponytails online, because I'm a very poor student I don't have money to spend on shopping, at least not new hair. But I found a great korean hairshop named Gowoon Hair.

 

http://www.gowoonhair.com/

 

 

They have many options in both extension,wigs for both female and male,and of course ponytails.

I was looking for something long and with curls and found this one:

 

 The longest and curly ponytail I could find. And the model is cute and look really good with this ponytail. So because of the very cheap price, and great model pictures I decided to buy it.



 

The colors available for my ponytail. Every wig etc had different options in colors, and this was for the one I bought. If I don't remember wrong mine is in Shine Golden Brown.

 

And now over to the most interesting part. How does it look on a non-model?Let me show you some pictures of the ponytail on me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pic One:

 

I was lucky that the color matched my hair perfectly!

 

 

Pic Two:

 

As you see, I also bought fake bangs at Dongdaemun. I can't decide if I wanna cut my bangs one more time, or let grow even longer. So I bought fake one so I don't need to cut. And its real human hair, so it looks very natural, and thick!

 

 

Would I buy from Gowoon Hair again?

Yes! Their quality on their hair is quite good for such a cheap price. Can not spot that my hair is fake if you don't study it for a long time. Its not super shiny which is the problem with more fake wigs etc.

They also got a gmarket account, so international buyers can also easily buy from them, great right? 

 

 

Anyone else addicted to fake hair like me???

 



Hello Kitty Cafe

If  you remember my entry about the Princess Cafe? and like girly places to hang out?I got a new cafe you must add to your "must-visit-list". The Hello Kitty Cafe.

I've seen this cafe many places in Seoul. Sinchon, Hongdae etc.But never actually went there, before now.It was not my idea to go to Hello Kitty Cafe, but actually my boyfriend wanted to go there. So we hurried to when it opned at 11, so we could study there while drinking coffee while its still quiet and few people.

 Cute wall decoration beside the restroom

I want this wall in my bedroom. Seriously cute!

 

 Actually, I want these in bedroom also. 

The cafe is so pretty and cute. If I were a child I would never leave this place, and even if I'm soon to be 23 years old I feel like I'm 10 again going to this super adorable girly place.

 

They also sell Hello Kitty things like dolls,clothing, coffee mugs and other random stuff, and not to expensive either. 

 

                             Our drinks. Mine is Green Tea Latte, which is my favorite! I always buy Green Tea Latte when in out in coffee shops, Can't get enough of it. My boyfriend choose Vanilla Coffee if I'm not wrong.

Want some desserts??? 

I want to try they Hello Kitty which is formed as hello kitty's face. But It's too cute to be eaten, So I didn't try it. But next time I will. (I hate eating cute things with cute faces etc, so took long time before I wanted to drink my Green Tea Latte, so sad to ruin it right?)

Anyway. Hello Kitty Cafe is worth the visit. Will bring my female friends here someday, very cool place to girly females like me to hang out and talk gossip about everyone and everything.The coffee might be some expensive, but compared to other plain coffeeshops its worth the extra price.

Bling your stuff!~~

I guess most people reading my blog dont know my obsession with sparkeling things, I really love bling! And I've blinged my last 3 cellphones. I have had my Samsung Galaxy S2 for maybe 4 months now. But I have not tried to bling yet,but after this long time without blinging I knew I had to do something about it. So if you are like me, love shining sparkeling things and want to make your cellphone, mp3 player or whatever to look more blinged and fancy, I'm now about to tell you where and how you can do it here in Seoul..

First of, of course you need to buy some bling!

 

I went to one of my favorite places in Seoul. Dongdaemun! This time I did not go to the shopping malls like I mostly do. But behind the big shopping malls there is a market called Dongdaemun Market, where creative people goes shopping. This place sell mostly fabrics,buttons,lace, zippers or whatever you need for creating your own clothes or whatever you wanna make. But this place is really hugh! It has endless of stores and so easy to get lost. But if having alot of free time, walking around just looking at stuff here is actually quite funny. 

 I found two stores who sold alot of Swarovski crystals in all different colors, sizes and shapes. I guess there is other stores here also that sell crystals and other things for decorating, but among 1000 fabric stores these two are the onces I could find. For my Swarovski crystals I spent maybe around 40,000 won which is cheap for Swarovski, I love wholesale places like these! And the seller at one of the stores, not the one is this picture but the other store I found even game me discount, and was really kind.

This is what I ended up buying. Clear color crystals, and some with ABshine (Shines different colors according to light, if you know what I mean.Makes it sparkle!) All are round shape, but also bought some hearts also to make it more cute. I like cute stuff. 

Now.

What do I do when I have bought the crystals?

First of....Do you wanna bling straight onto your phone? then it will be stuck forever, or very hard to remove. Or do like me, buy a cheap cover for your phone and bling it. I bought a white cover from Gmarket.com for only 2000 won. And you do need glue, I used some superglue I found at Lotte Mart. It worked quite well. I actually by accident almost glued my fingers stuck onto my cover, oucccch. So be careful when using strong glue people! Could be stuck with you cover on your fingers for the rest of your life. 

 If you use fast drying glue like me, I would reccomend to sort out your crystals first to make it faster to pick up before the glue dry. And don't apply glue at a to big area at the time. Blinging takes along time, but worth it when you are finished!

I would also reccomend to start with your big bling first if you have any, then you get a better idea of how your design will end up looking like. After you have glued your main big crystals on,or whatever you wanna use on your phone, don't need to be crystals, be creative if you want a more fun design!I have in the past used both cute crowns, plastic roses,cross from necklace,blinged chain, Hallo Kitty head and many other things. Just google decoden for inspiration if needed.

After adding those, you can start with your smaller crystals, and work your way around the whole phone slowly to its finished. And I also use very very small crystals to fill in any gaps between bigger onces so the cover is not showing too much underneath.

The end result of my blinging

A shiny new cover for my phone after 4 hours of work! 

What do you guys think, would you ever bling your phone also?

Christmas ~~

One month since christmas, omg I'm so far behind in blogging, sorry!!! 

So long time since christmas I actually have to ask myself "what did I do in detail?". Thats a good reason to blog more often or what??

Anyway. Over to the main point of this post, talk about my christmas eve 2012! 

I spent the day together with my boyfriend in his apartment he is sharing with his brother. But thankfully his brother did not move into the apartment before some days before new years eve, so thats why I got to secretly spend the day at my boyfriends place(you know, going to boyfriends apartment is a big nono here). 

We just spend the day with enjoying some foods and a bottle of wine. I had promised my boyfriend to cook for him. But I'm not really good at cooking, so I made the most easy dish ever. Pasta Carbonara. So when I arrived at his place we went to Homeplus together to buy things we needed for cooking, and on our way home we dropped by a bread shop to buy a cake. Every special day can be celebrated with a cute cake in Korea, also christmas! So my chrismas eve was very different than home in Norway. But I'm thankful I had someone to celebrate it with. Even if I had no christmas tree, no presents, no norwegian christmas food. But I did have a good time with my boyfriend, and isn't that what christmas is all about? spending time with someone you care about??

 

During christmas shopping in Myeongdong. Don't really remember what I bought, maybe I didn't buy anything. Hmmm

 

Also from Myeongdong. Finding places with christmas decoraton here its not too easy, well..Its some places that has some decorations, like inside coffee shops. But streets etc is not that well decorated. Except Myeongdong. So I've heard from korean friends that Myeongdong is the place couples go for christmas eve, and that they even kiss in public!! (omg right? oooh Korea)

 

The cute decorated bus I took. The picture is really bad, because the bus was seriously blinged inside! But it was many people on the bus, so it was kinda hard to take a picture showing off the decoration well. And the busdriver wore a santa claus outfit as well.

Ingrid's dog Charlie which spent the christmas at my boyfriends apartment while Ingrid was in Norway. We bought him this cute outfit to wear for christmas eve. So adorable right??

 Our pasta carbonara. So yummy!!

 And we drank a bottle of wine, with....tomatoes on the side???

Our cute cake. Penguins. I love penguins!!!!!! So when we saw it we knew it was the perfect cake to buy. 

The christmas present from me to my boyfriend. I knitted a scarf in a color I know he likes. And bought two sweaters for us to wear together. But I didnt get anything from him T.T Oh well..

And at last me with my christmas accessories.

Might be some late now but I hope you all had a nice christmas together with family,friends, boyfriend/girlfriend!
