Bring It On!!

I had to endure 8 hours of boredom today. I literally struggled waiting for the clock to reach 4pm. I had been surfing all day and that triggered major itch to my shopaholic switch. I just had to go to a mall so that brought me to Pavilion. Hooray!

But then.. I was in a way throwing myself into the battlefield - a HUGE mall where everything was on sale. However, I am proud to announce that I managed to resist all the temptations. These are the things I managed to let go:

#1 - French Connection Long Sleeves Black Tunic/Dress


This was on 60% off! I love the cutting and it has this visible brass long zipper at the back. You know I'm a sucker for metals. *sigh*

#2 - Chloe Fragrance


This is definitely my next perfume. It was love at first sniff. I just love the smell of sweet roses. This reminds me so much of the Annick Goutal Petite Cherie EDP I'm currently using, with a fresher/stronger twist

#3 - Pull & Bear Zipper (yes, again) Heels. Nothing compared to those Jeffrey Campbell shoes in my previous post but I have seriously been looking for some biker-edgy-punk-ish heels and this fits the bill pretty well. This was (or is) the toughest one to let go. If I dream of it tonight.. then.. hehehe.. well at least I tried and did not give myself in so easily! Right??!!

So come on MALLS.. bring it on!! Go on, go sell everything at 90% off.. you can see me cruise or try the stuffs on BUT I WILL NOT FALL INTO YOUR TRAP!

I AM A RESPONSIBLE ADULT WHO WILL NOT SPEND UNNECESSARILY AND GO ON DEBT!!

heheh.. let's test the endurance shall we?

Clear Day

It is a beautiful day, I love holiday seasons! The BEST time to enjoy the city - although I'd much rather be elsewhere. It has been AGES since the last holiday, in fact I am struggling to clear my annual leave this year. I have LOTS of time to spare but despite all the increments, salary adjustment, petrol subsidy, etc.. I am still seriously broke, more than ever.. sucks!!

As usual, it is only 8am and I am already running out of emails to read. Yes, I do have stuff to do especially that the next gate review is scheduled in mid Jan and I have yet to work on the cost/schedule estimates, yada yada.. ok, enuff of that.

Since Christmas is approaching, I have ONE (they're all shoe related so still considered one :p) little wish to make:

1. I wish we have bigger selection of shoes here in KL. Balik balik Vinci, Nose, Nine West, Charles & Keith, ZARA - B.O.R.I.N.G!!

2. I wish Topshop will start exploring other materials than kulit khinzir. (Kasut dah lawa-lawa tapi kulit B*bi. Sakit hati je tengok!)

3. I wish those super sexy Aldo shoes are not as high as they are and oh, I wish the prices are more reasonable - at least mcm Nine West pun kira ok la..

4. I give credit to those trendy Sg Wang or online/Bangsar boutiques for supplying trendy shoes but can you please get the manufacturer to improve the quality? They look cheap la...

5. I wish we have Jeffrey Campbell or I wish at least those online stores ship to Malaysia.. Aren't these lovely... Don't you love the beautiful distressed leather, chunky wooden heels and solid brass hardware? Now these are what I call proper shoes! (since Louboutin, Chloe, Marni, etc.. are totally out of the equation)

Sleepy & Hungry

I took a day off yesterday to do some pampering. I started the day by watching Sex & the City movie for like the 4th time (I think). Then off to Times Sq to get a facial at Cres Wellness. Pretty good I would say, considering it was a 90 mins facial for a price of RM98.

I had lunch at Starbucks and managed to get one of those 10th anniversary tumbler for only RM10. It's part of my personal cost-cutting strategy so I don't need to buy bottled water anymore. I can now fill my trendy Starbucks tumbler with filtered water and drink it in style.. heheh (Gila mengada kan..)



Later that day I went to Peek-a-boo bangsar (yes, again) for wash & blow. That was easily my 10th-12th visit in the past 2-3 months! No wonder I'm broke.. :(

p/s: I don't want to embarrass the stylists at Peek-a-Boo so please take note that the pictures were not taken yday or today so that hair you see on my head was styled by yours truly. By "styled" I mean finger combing.

*Pinch* No, I'm No Longer Dreaming!!

Forbidden Love

I am proud to announce that I managed to strike 5 items off my To-Do list. I have to admit that I have been slacking for the past couple of months that work was like play school to me :p

Somehow I managed to still surf the net (ok, eBay to be specific), I stumbled upon this seller: Rent Me A Handbag

Although the shoes/handbags are not from the current or latest season, since I could never afford the ones in the boutiques anyway (especially now that my financier has cut the supplies.. sob.. sob), I kind of went crazy for a bit. If it wasn't for the fact that I did not achieve my '08 target of xx amount of savings in my bank account, I would have scored at least one of these.. dammit!

Fendi Platform $248
Dolce & Gabbana Denim Strappy Wedge $175
Prada Fringe Heels $168
Prada Loafers $120. I don't really wear flats but these look really comfy.. kind of cute with capris, right?
Marc by Marc Jacobs Flats $67

*sigh*

p/s: I smell those giant Black poster with that 4 letter word in Red... they are coming out again real soon aren't they..

Fantasy, not quite!

I had a fantastic weekend. We had our annual dinner on Saturday, at the Palace of Golden Horses. The theme was "Fantasy" but as usual, I could not be bothered wearing costumes :p

I had fun though, seeing people dressed up as their favourite characters - we had Jack Sparrow, Tin Man, Gladiator, Wonder Woman, some came in animal suits, we had a cat, butterfly, sun flower, duck, etc..

Faizal Tahir entertained us with a few numbers. Yes, he was superb!

Anyway, I did not take that many pictures so here are 2 shots of my outfit. I got my make up and hair done at Peek a Boo, Bangsar. I was going to do my hair up in a loose messy bun but I couldn't be bothered washing my hair later that night so I let it down. For RM60, I thought the make up was OK although I didnt really like the gold shimmery eye shadow that made my eyes and forehead look all shiny!


The dress has this amazing black tutu tail at the back. I thought it was cute :) and a little edgy for a white prom dress

Purple Rain

One of the things I love about F/W08 is the color purple, especially deep purple. Since the season is ending soon, I think I should wear more of it, while it lasts.



The lightings in the apartment is not very suitable for photo taking and I have still yet to get the confidence to take outdoor shoots so I guess this is the best I could offer you.



The weather in KL has been nice lately (despite the rain and thundestorm in the evenings) so I guess I was brave enough to put these ensemble together and not look like a total weirdo in tights and boots in the tropics!
