Samsung Galaxy S3: Cute Phone Case "Collection"

I believe that if you're going to buy such an expensive smartphone, why not use it as an accessory by purchasing cute cases for it? :D

Please excuse my lovely thighs. 

Lovely Angel Wing Rubber Princess TPU cover case 

Lovely Rabbit Love Heart Soft Silicone Case Cover 

Yes the names for the cases are funny. They're what the sellers named them.

Aliexpress: Jewelry Haul

I love to accessorize with jewelry but hate the cost that comes with it, and so I'm always on the lookout for cheaper more affordable options. I came across this website called http://www.aliexpress.com/ that I'e slowly come to love due to its hits and misses. I've purchased clothes, jewelry and other miscellaneous items from this website but this post is just going to consist of the jewelry that I've purchased so far.

TLDR;

1. The entire purchase was under $11.
2. Quality is comparable to Forever 21's jewelry. I've worn every item multiple times and they're not broken, rusting, changing colors, or falling apart.
3. Shipping time varies as they are shipping from China. I think it a little over three weeks for the package to reach SoCal.
4. Speaking of shipping, everything was packaged nicely. Nothing came broken. Yay!
5. If you decide to purchase jewelry from aliexpress, beware that sellers usually require a minimum purchase of $10 for free shipping. If you purchase anything less than $10, be sure to add the shipping cost to your cart or they will cancel your order.

Here goes!

New glasses: Derek Cardigan 7008 Blackout

I decided to take advantage of the free glasses deal from Coastal.com. I mean, it wouldn't hurt to have a backup pair laying around right? I decided I wanted big(ger) lenses compared to my D&G 5010 eyeglasses and chose these babies.

Size comparison to Carmex Lip Balm. Notice the division and multiply signs? :D 

 An "=" on the sides 8D

 Flexible spring hinges to fit those that have big heads like mine :P

And it all came with a case, glass wipers, anti-reflective lens cleaner, and tools in case the screws become loose.

It was my first time ordering from Coastal and I had to admit I was a bit sketchy on why they were offering free glasses (even though I had to pay for $15.43 for shipping and handling/insurance) . I came to the conclusion that with this type from promo and the awesome service I received, they won me as a customer with the way they do things. My reasons?

1. They have the "Try on View" option that lets you upload a picture of yourself with the glasses on which I find very useful. Go onto the site and play with it now. I dare you!
2. My order was shipped the next day at standard shipping (5-7 days), but right before they shipped it, they decided to upgrade my shipping to 2-3 days! WHATT?? How generous :) So I was able to receive my order just two days! Amazeballs.
3. They have awesome goodies that comes with the package (i.e. the lens cleaner and tool).
4. Their website is very well organized which makes finding the perfect glasses easy peasy.
