I am enjoying a lazy weekend.. watching back-to-back episodes of Grey's Anatomy.. Dr. Yang makes me laugh, I love her!!

Went to Bangsar today to get my eyebrows shaped (plus other facial hair, erkk.. very minor ok..).. I am still in pain..


Wearing
Dress - Unknown, my 1st ever vintage find for RM5
Belt - Forever 21
Shoes - Charles & Keith
Earings - Unknown

p/s: I'm off to Bangkok tomorrow, see ya in a week! I know some lucky people who are going to Bandung this week, I am still pissed for having to cancel and go to Bangkok instead! erghh.. Not to mention that I have yet to arrange for that extra night accommodation in Bangkok, let's just hope I don't end up sleeping in a club or some dodgy 'rumah tumpangan'...

Houston

Houston was great, definitely shopaholic's heaven! We went to Katy Mills, and this is the damage:

Loving this look

I am so in the mood for these midi pocket skirts. Unfortunately my search for it has not been very successful. These beauties are by Gucci so obviously they are wayyy out of my budget

It is not a breakthrough in design, nothing innovative compared to Balenciaga's (Nicholas Ghesquiere) futuristic-tribal collection but at least this one is wearable, very modern and classy. I love it! Frida Gianini is a genius, definitely at par with her predecessor Tom Ford (well, almost).


p/s: Does anyone know if they sell Durian chips at Chatuchak?

Searching...

I am soo madly in love with these gladiator heels.. bid starts at USD200.. it's authentic Balenciaga too.. should i?






p/s: Carine Roitfeld has one.. and maybe I should get it as a little birthday pressie...yes?

Tada!!

I'm backk! Super tired.. but totally awesome trip, the best business trip ever!! I was fortunate that we kept bumping into people from work, some of them rent cars so free ride to almost any places we want to go :)

Met so many people, such an eye opener to my new role. Feeling nervous, more than ever but it is such an honor to be in the same team as those brilliant people. The next couple of years are going to be super hectic and challenging for me. It is time to get serious with work, a lot to pick up in the next 6 months. The competition begins!

I am entitled for 2-days off, the long hours on the plane is draining. Unfortunately have to get back to work, ex-supervisor is here so need to see him to complete my appraisal. Don't think I care but what I say in that piece of paper sums up all the hard work that I have put in the past 12 months. Sounds simple but what if I put it this way - it determines my increment next year.. hmm.. can't say I don't care anymore, can I? all the LV trunks, Balenciagas, Chanels..

Anyway, Houston's awesome - at least for a shopaholic like me! Will post pics of goodies I bought later ;)

I dont wanna grow up..

I was in ZARA today and why is it when you are looking for something, you end up spending AGES in the store and still could not find anything decent.. but when the only plan you have is to window shop, you ALWAYS end up getting something?

Anyway, I actually went to ZARA couple of weeks ago, and tried on this tube dress. It has those metal studs at the top and you have probably known by now how much I love metal studs... ahh.. Love at first sight.. UNTIL I come to my senses that I am approaching the big three-0, I should not be walking around looking like I'm trapped in a teenager's body! eerrkkk..

It is really unfair.. why is it now, when I finally have enough money to shop on my own and when the clothes are getting more and more fashionable, when these imported brands are finally accessible, it is actually kind of too late?





p/s: I think my fingers look kinda freaky in that 2nd pic.. anyway, I am off to Houston tomorrow. Gonna miss starHILL! see ya soon, toodles!

Why..?

I am starting to ask myself the purpose of this blog. I feel like it's starting to appear like a form of self obsession..? Errkk!

I started this blog with the objective of making money. I heard about payperpost from Snazzy and thought I should start doing the same. It's easy money right..? well, not quite. One, I dont have enough readers so why would an advertiser invest in this blog.. second, I am just too lazy to read through the 10000-page of terms & conditions.. Blergh..

After a while it's starting to get quite fun. It gives me a challenge to come up with new look each day, thinking I would be taking pictures and post them on this blog. There have been times when I just feel too lazy to dress up. After all, I am still an IT analyst working for a corporation where fashion does not exist!

Anyhow, however it turns out (after 2 months) I feel quite good about it. Well, while at lasts.




Wearing
Top: MNG
Studded Patent Belt: Cats Whiskers
Skinny Pants: ZARA
Ankle Boots: ZARA
Marni Inspired Bag: Charles & Keith
Studded Bracelet: Cats Whiskers

I have been obsessed with the punk chic look for quite a while now. The whole outfit could have looked better with deep red nail polish, those polished ponytail and some dark eyeliner. Was just not brave enough to go that far to work..

p/s: I may be more enthusiastic if my photographer is more supportive! >:( oh yeah.. those Chanel triplets were sold at GBP785. I KNEW it was gonna be a HUGE investment!! well.. too late now..
