Ipad Mini Case- Composition Book from Portenzo

my ipad mini case
I purchased an Ipad mini a month ago and I could not find any cute cases for it.  All the cases I could find are nothing special and the cute one's were not for the mini.  I surfed around Gmarket and still couldn't find anything the amazed me.  I stumbled upon Dodo cases which are cases that look like books and then with further research I chose to buy a Portenzo case.  Portenzo and Dodo both make similar ipad cases but I found out that Portenzo's cases were sturdier so I chose them.  It took a while for it to ship as each case was custom made.  I chose the composition book.  I really love my case.  It is a little heavier due to the fact that they use wood for the case holster but it looks so pretty the extra weight doesn't matter.  I do recommend this case.  I got mine with the extra: intellistand and the camera opening which did cost a little more but it makes the usage so much more convenient.  Shipping to Canada was also quite pricey.  The case itself was $69.95USD and then cost more with the added features. When you close the book, the ipad locks.  Very beautiful design and I am very happy with my purchase. :)

Aritzia, F21 and Gmarket Purchases

Bought a few items from various place, from Aritzia, Forever 21 and Gmarket in the last few months but didn't have time to upload the pictures.  I am actually quite behind with blogging! So sorry about that!  I shall try harder to upload my photos!  Anywho, on with the shopping post!

Aritzia Purchase
I bought a pair of maroon coloured leggings from Aritzia.  The brand is Talula and I have a few other pairs of black versions from this brand and I would say it is well worth it.  The leggings don't pill and are super soft.  They costs $22.00CAD and you can actually buy them online now as Aritzia has an online site now.
Forever 21 Purchase
On cyber Monday I bought a pair of sneakers from the Forever 21 website.  They were so cute and they remind me of the bag I bought from Gmarket. Shipping was free that day and the shoes actually came within a week!  So crazy fast.  The shoes were $23.80CAD and look adorable with shorts!  I also bought a floral blouse and 3 pairs of jeans from F21.  I bought those at the downtown F21 and not online.  I actually couldn't find them online.  The jeans were $12.80 and so comfortable!  The blouse was $19.80CAD.

Gmarket Purchase
I was initially shopping for a ipad cover for my bf for one of his bday gifts but also found some shirts for me! My bf's ipad case was about $20.00CAD and it came with a screen protector and a pen.  This purchase is well worth it!  I think the wood pattern is so cool!  Can't get anything locally for this price! :)

look at that pattern!  Looks like hard wood floors..lol
bonus pen!
I bought 1 casual long sleeve tee and dressy sweater.  Both shirts are long in length, which was exactly what I was looking for as I could not find any of those lengths locally.  Everything now seems cropped and I wanted the length so that I can wear leggings and not show my bum.  I also bought 2 Holika Holika waterproof pencil eyeliners. The eyeliners were very good, comparable to my Make Up Forever Aqua eyes!  The eyeliners were $4.00CAD
The shirts:  The rabbit shirt was $12.00CAD.  The feather sweater was $17.00CAD.
