About this blog

I started Miss Bimbo Girl blog in 2009 when i started playing Miss Bimbo. There were plenty of websites bashing the game, but hardly any by players playing the game itself. Time went on and eventually i stopped playing: according to my hazy memory i think i got stuck on a particularly long level, and then school, work, wedding planning, and moving came along and i abandoned the game for good. 

I started taking a greater interest in nail art / fashion/shopping/lifestyle blogging mid-2013. I don't want to limit myself to one topic e.g. nails,  and also don't want to overwhelm my friends and followers of my personal Facebook page so I decided to create a blog to post frivolous things. Since i already had the url http://missbimbogirl.blogspot.com i decided to just continue blogging here. I've started and abandoned blogs and subdomains more times than i can count, we'll see if this one sticks. 

In January 2014 i decided to log into my old Miss Bimbo account but website is closed. Like, Miss Bimbo (English version) is done. Over. The original French version Ma Bimbo, however, is still up. The game is stretching my limited French language skills to the limit; I wish I had this game when I was learning high school French. This is my profile (same username): cymbellinexox

Infinity onion ring

Burger king onion rings are my guilty pleasure

BCBG MAX AZRIA DRESS

I bought this BCBG MAX AZRIA dress from Waterloo Premium outlet before Christmas

Outlet malls are great! I really could have afforded to buy 2 dresses, and maybe even accessories

 

My outfit: Red cardigan from my mom (I know I wore it 2 events in a row, but it's holiday season so do I get a free pass?)

Diamond earrings (not visible) from my husband

Necklace  from Forever 21

Black tights with gold glitter also from Forever 21 (not pictured)

Stackable rings from Guess (also from the same Waterloo Outlet run)

Red nails from THE FACE SHOP nail polish

Watch from adidas that I've had forever and will never ever ever change

Claire's 2014 haul

So I went shopping on the last shopping day of the year. 

I think prices jump back to normal on Jan 1.

Or so I say to give myself an excuse to shop, and then a reason to curb my enthusiasm and make new resolutions for the new year.

Not like I'll need it if I shop at Claires...

I know there comes a time in a girl's life where it starts being weird to wear things targeted at teenagers

I dread that day coming, but I am turning 30 this year (eek!)

This quote comes to mind "It's ok if the statement your statement piece makes is 'I still shop at that place at the mall that targets teenagers'"

That being said, I'd gladly pay $23 including tax for 2 "statement" necklaces, a pair of earrings, and sunglasses 

Below, a bunch of pictures of the earrings, sunglasses, and my baby.

New year party nails

So My car was totaled and towed to the lot. I had a chance to get my important stuff out of the car before it was scrapped. I noticed a bottle of nail polish in the snow near the car, I did not know if it came from my car or somewhere else, but I don't remember ever buying it. Anyway I brought it home and washed it off and painted it on my nails for the new year party. I blogged about my outfit in the previous post. 

Bing cherry 305 

maybelline express finish

Verdict: great coverage in one coat - in fact you sort of have to only use 1 coat or it goes on way too thick and uneven

They also weren't kidding about the fast drying formula - My thumb was practically dry before i finished my pinky

The color is also pretty much what I expected, red in some lights and dark pink in others

Of course I don't know how much of it is the original formulation and how much of it is due to sitting outside in subzero snow and ice for an indeterminate period of time. 

Even if nothing else, I got to try a new color and add to my collection without spending a dime, thus maintaining my perma-No buy. 

Update

Hi everyone!
I don't play Miss Bimbo any more (for now at least), so this blog is now a lifestyle/fashion blog for stuff I like.

Cheers,

Happy New Year!

A better picture of my outfit:

Dress from delia's black friday sale

Gold sequins on top (are kind of uncomfortable, but can put up with it for a night)

Connected to a black skirt

Red cardigan from my mom

Necklace also from black friday delia's sale

I bought a wrap bracelet to go with it but it got damaged (in transit?) 

So I'm wearing a stretch crystals bracelet my friend gave me for my birthday
