Shopping here and there...

Hi everyone!  And yes, it's been a while again since I last blogged.  Laziness tends to take over my whole being whenever I have free time.  Anyway, there's nothing new really, only I've been working for almost three months already.  It's a shocker that I still manage to wake up everyday despite the fact that I don't even want to, although sometimes I feel as though working is fine since I get to earn my own dough and use it to treat myself once in a while.  I've been shopping here and there but never really had the chance to take outfit shots so I just took photos of some of the stuff I've acquired in the past two or three months.

These are just some of the items I acquired in the past months since I started working and boy it feels good to be earning my own cash except for the "working part".  Moving on, I got the jersey-ish shirt and orange oxfords from TOPSHOP during my last shopping trip with my friend, Steph.  I am sooo glad that TOPSHOP has finally landed in HK!  It's the closest thing I have to UK now!  Hahaha!  The other two tops are from Forever 21, the sneakers are from Zara and the black oxfords are from a local store.  I've already worn those three pairs of shoes but I've never had the chance to take photos, I'll try to though.  Hope you guys like the photos!  Love lots.

The story behind my coat.

As the title suggests, there's a story behind this coat but before that, let me ask you guys what you think of this coat?  I just love everything about it and honestly it's my second time to actually wear it "properly" and you'll know why in a bit.  It's funny because I've been dying to wear it and take shots and in fact I couldn't wait for the winter season to come but when it did, I never wore it until today.  I thought the weather would gradually go up but I'm so glad it went down because I'm not ready to say goodbye to the cold just yet.  Anyway, this is what I wore for mass today with my family...

Now on with my story.  This coat was a gift from my aunt when we were staying at their place in Barnsley, UK.  She's a shopaholic, you see and she's got me and my other relatives a lot of stuff but just never has the time to send it here.  Anyway, last summer, she seized the opportunity of giving us most of the stuff she bought for us in her previous shopping trips and the coat was one of them.  I was so excited to bring it back home but when we reached the airport in Manchester, we were told that our luggage could not exceed 30 kg but with my mom, brother and I having a limit of up to 30 kg each which meant 90 kg all together, I thought that we'd be okay.  Little did we know that we bought too much stuff and that I had a lot of clothes so we exceeded and of course we had to pay even though we got rid of some of the stuff we bought already.  And since, I couldn't bear to leave the clothes I bought and got from my aunt, I decided to wear this coat and one of my other jackets even though it was so damn hot.  Not to mention, when we got to Dubai, it was even hotter!  Yes!  That's how desperate I was to bring my clothes home.  Hahaha!  

Top: Per Una (gift from aunt) | Coat: George (gift from aunt) | Shoes: Forever 21 | Skirt: Cotton On, HK | Hat: In a Row, local store | Bag: Gift from my sister |

Forgive me for some of my awkward pauses.  These shots were taken outside of our apartment since I didn't have my camera with me when I went out.  Oh and I love my hat so much I can't stop wearing it!  Not to mention, it goes with any outfit so be warned as you might get sick of seeing me wear it all the time.  Anyway, I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend!  Till next post! :)

Love lots,

A short visit to Hong Kong with the folks.

I went to Hong Kong with my folks the next day after hanging out at "The Private Party" and only had a few hours of sleep, not to mention I felt a little bit dizzy and very dehydrated.  Ahh yes, the effect of drinking although I wouldn't really call it a hangover since I didn't really drink much.  Anyway, we paid a visit to the usual shops in both Central and Causeway Bay such as H&M, Cotton On, Forever 21, etc where I got a couple of stuff for myself.  I'm somewhat glad that my dad tagged along since he's the only person who can stop me from buying stuff and I seriously have to stop myself from buying anything more.

The ones below are stuff I got plus most of them were on sale which I'm pretty happy about.

Cute bags or whatever they're called from Cotton On and trust me when I say they were really cheap!

Also got this red printed dress from Cotton On.

Oxfords from Forever 21.

I just fell in love with these printed leggings from Forever 21 (left) and Cotton On (Right).

We didn't really do much in Hong Kong because all my parents wanted to do was wander around the usual places in Central and Causeway Bay for a while and we basically just spent most of our time pigging out in restaurants and fast food restaurants so talk about gaining weight.  Anyway, that's all about my day.  Ciao folks!

Summer Wishlist ☼

Summer is officially here and recently I’ve been wanting to do a lot of shopping.  However, due to the fact that I’ve already been spending too much on other stuff, it’s just not possible to shop every time I go out, so I’ve to withhold myself from buying unnecessary stuff.  Anyway, I enjoy window shopping and looking at clothes online.  I have no intention of buying more clothes or shoes since I realized I have too many new clothes which I bought on impulse during my trips to Hong Kong, but I feel like I can’t help the fact that I just want to acquire what I see online or in shops.  The photos below are just some of the things I’d like to acquire.

I’ve been obsessing over oxfords or whatever they’re called and pretty floral and striped tops and I really wish I could have them as soon as possible before I leave for my trip.  Mush.room is a lovely local shop and I wish I could just grab everything.  ♥
