Coat Season

Whether the cooler weather is right around the corner or you are in need of a sophisticated touch to your wardrobe, a luxurious American lynx coat is a must-have. The addition of a high-quality coat can help anyone look amazing. Use the coat to compliment your favorite dress or other party attire to make a great impression.

Luxurious indeed!

Eye-catching designs can easily be incorporated into the wardrobe. The luxurious American lynx can be used either as an accent or as a full fur coat. The beautiful spots create a lasting impression whether the coat is short or long.

Choosing between the several fashionable designs can be difficult; however, finding one that speaks to your personality can be easy. Think about where you would like to wear the coat and how functional you would like it to be. Longer, thick coats will be very warm and may be uncomfortable in the summertime. On the other hand, a coat that only uses the fur as an accent may be a bit cooler. If attending mostly indoor events, either design can be used in a functional way.

Fur coats have always been used to show off a sense of fashion and allow the wearer to remain warm and cozy. The soft fur of the American lynx can feel great against the skin, making the wearer feel very comfortable no matter what the occasion is. Turn heads at your next big event with the brilliant addition of a real fur coat!

Pretty Floral Trousers

I see a lot of Floral Trousers lately. I am still contemplating if I should buy one or two for myself.

I used to say I won't wear any floral dress or trousers for that matter. But the more I see these floral trousers, the more I find them pretty. In fact the richer and bolder the colors are, the more I am attracted to them.

Mango and ZARA are more colorful compared to the rest. But I like the ZARA trousers better. What do you think?

Contemporary Center Table and Shelf

I am looking for a shelf/center table like this one. I saw this from ThisNext but unfortunately the link it points to is already unavailable.

I like it because of its contemporary design. I love the dark wood and glass combo.  I like it also because it can serve as our dvd storage on the bottom area while the top one will serve be for the magazines.

While browsing the website, I also saw this pretty lounge red chair.

It looks great as an accent chair. Don't you think so?

Classy and Fab

I am loving this look from Emma Watson!

She is wearing a Roland Mouret bustier, 3.1 Phillip Lim cigarette pants, Ferragamo pumps during the "This Is the End" premiere at Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles.

Lately, I have been liking solid prints, stripes and black and white combo. This top Emma is wearing is so pretty. The v-cut and the slanted prints create the illusion of a very tiny tiny waist. I wonder how the printing was done on this fabric.

She looks classy and fabulous. I am sure Coco Chanel would approve!

Pink and Royal Blue

It's almost the end of the school year for my son. I am already looking for camps or summer classes for him.  I am encouraging him to attend music class and tennis lessons. Unfortunately he doesn't like the idea of both.

Hubby and I would have liked to buy him a yamaha dgx 640 at wwbw.

But if he really doesn't like to attend the music class and the tennis lesson, it is fine with me. I will certainly not force him. I can just reroute the money to buy this gorgeous bag!

{Alexader McQueen New Padlock Medium Satchel Bag, Pink $1,565 from Neiman Marcus}

The bag also comes in yellow, royal blue and black. I love all the colors but this pink wins it for me. The royal blue comes in second.

Metallic And Bronze

I'm inlove with these shoes from J. Crew. I am so tempted to order online and have it shipped here in Cambodia. I just have a couple of problems: delivery here in Phnom Penh is so unreliable and the shoes' price aren't exactly pocket-friendly.

My last online order (from Asos) did not arrive. I emailed them about the problem and they replaced it right away. The problem was it still did not arrive. When I told Asos, they were kind enough to refund my entire order.

Delivery without tracking number is still a matter of luck and guess work here Cambodia. I think I'd be more lucky to set up clamps by myself than to receive international orders again.

Anyway, here are the shoes I am talking about:

J. Crew Viv Metallic Flats

$188 - if shipped within US

$253.80 - if shipped to Cambodia plus shipping fee ($30) and taxes

J. Crew Viv Patent Flats Bronzed Clay

$188 - if shipped within US
$253.80 - if shipped to Cambodia plus shipping fee ($30) and taxes

Dear J. Crew, why do you have different prices for US and international destination? Your prices are already expensive. Why make it more unaffordable to your international clients?

Blessing in Disguise

My last post was about being unlucky shopping in Singapore. I am not sure if my husband read that post before he gifted me with a trip to Bangkok over the weekend.

He told me it's his advanced mother's day gift, that I had to go on my own, enjoy my time and go shopping to my heart's content. And oh, told me to Compare Avira Internet Security while I have the time. I was reluctant to go at first but at the last minute I took it.

So when I was in Bangkok, the first store I went to was Zara. I looked again for this dress:

{Zara Printed Dress}

It's not available! The staff at Zara Siam Paragon told me, they sold the last piece the day before. Ugh! I also checked the Zara at Central World but same thing. It's not available.

While looking at other clothes, I saw this dress. It looks almost the same as the one above. I tried it on and I fell in love. I asked if they have a new stock for small size but they say it was the last piece. I bought it anyway.

{Zara Floral Printed Dress}

I tried it on again at home and I am beginning to think this dress is more beautiful than the elusive one. I guess this is what you call a blessing in disguise. I bought the prettier dress instead.

Not My Lucky Day

I went to Singapore. I went to 3 different Zara stores and I couldn't find this dress. Actually, it's not available in the stores I went to. Maybe not yet.

I love you! Buy why are you so elusive to me? So, instead I bought this green pencil skirt and this white tee.

I also bought this combination round neck tee. When I tried it on, it looked great on me. But when I wore it yesterday, it felt too short. I was too conscious of my tummy. LOL!

It probably wasn't our lucky day shopping because hubby also couldn't find some of the toyota parts he was looking for.

Oh well, that makes us even.

ZARA: Beautiful Shoes in Prints

I am loving ZARA's in-store products now. From their dresses to their shoes, they're just all beautiful! My previous post was about their printed dress. And now, here are my favorite shoes from them, all in prints.

{ZARA Printed Fabric Slipper}

{ZARA Pointed Slipper}

{ZARA Colored Sneaker}

To be honest, I used to shy away from prints. Most of my clothes and shoes are in solid basic colors - black, blue, red. Even my fly sheets are in solid colors as well.

But seeing ZARA's beautiful prints now changed my mind. I am definitely going to give prints a chance in my wardrobe. I can't wait to go shopping soon!

Zara Printed Dress

Love at first sight. That's how I felt when I saw this Zara dress in their website.

So pretty! I hope this is still available in any Zara Singapore when we go to Singapore next week. This is definitely the first item I am going to search for.

Mid Season Sale at Dorothy Perkins

I am still waiting for my package from ASOS to arrive and here I am shopping online again. I can't resist when it says 60% off plus extra 10% exclusive online! Women's brain go haywire when it comes to shopping, especially when there is a big Sale going on.

Girls, get ready with your cards and let's shop together at Dorothy Perkins.

60% off! Who can resist that? Apparently, not me. Hahaha! I just barely skimmed the sale items and I saw a few pieces I like, mostly dresses. Here are my tops picks.

{Black Ottoman Flare Dress £12.00}

{Stud Neoprene Dress £17.00}

{Blue Textured Peplum Dress £12.00}

I have been meaning to buy a peplum dress but couldn't find something that I really like. The one above looks simple and it's heavily discounted. Perfect!

Now, I must go back to the site. They might run out of sale items for my size.

ASOS Free Delivery Worldwide

I just discovered a new shopping site that delivers for FREE wherever you are in the world!

ASOS is a UK based fashion online retailer of its own label product and other branded product lines for both womenswear and menswear.

I like ASOS own label products. In fact, I have ordered a top and a dress both on sale the other day. I also ordered a polo shirt for my husband.

I got an email yesterday that my order has been shipped! Yay! I am so excited. I wish they have product lines for the kids so I can shop all our clothes in one site.

I am browsing the site again today even though I have no intention of buying anything. Who knows I might get across another great item on sale.

Parker Guitars

Last Saturday, we passed by a street full of guitars. I knew what's going to happen. And I was right. Hubby stopped, of course, to check out some items. While looking at the many different items on display, the kiddo saw this guitar...

The kiddo laughed. I asked him why? He said the guitar looks weird and funny. I guess it was his first time to see a guitar like this.

I told him, don't laugh. That's a very special guitar and that's an expensive kind. I've seen parker guitars guitar center that runs up to $6000!

Hubby was surprised I know what I'm talking about. But of course! LOL!

On the way home, I asked the kiddo if he still wants to be a rockstar. He said yes, but I get to choose my own kind of guitar. Hahaha!

Kids and their weird sense of humor!

Spidey

We're thinking of skiing this July or August. Of course, it's all plan for now. There are so many things to consider - budget, holiday leaves for my husband, etc.

But if you know me, I've already researched a little and also did a little window shopping. We definitely need a couple of thick jackets, boots and hats if ever.

I've come across www.peterglenn.com. I saw a few items which I liked and I am glad to know they ship internationally. Cool!

Here's a couple of hats for the kiddo which I am sure he will love.

I am loving the green color this year

Yellow always looks good on him

He's gotten fond of superheroes lately. For now, it's all about Spiderman. Maybe because he's seen a couple of Spidey movies recently.

Anyway, if the plan becomes a reality, I will have to do real shopping soon.

Charlize Theron, My Best Dressed in Oscars 2013

I am happy I was able to catch the live telecast of Oscars 2013 yesterday. I love awards show. I get to watch beautiful women in beautiful dresses and I get to know the results right away.

I have a list of several best dressed in the Oscars but my favorite is Charlize Theron.

I love her pixie cut and her elegant gown. It's simple yet stunning.

Who was your best dressed in Oscars 2013?

This is Crazy

This has made the rounds in the social networking sites, - twitter, instagram, for a long time now I guess but it still cracks me up. What if you're dining somewhere al fresco and someone approaches you and give you this card/s?

{Photos all from Google Images}

What do you think? Funny? Hilarious? Desperate? In my opinion, it's quiet cute and funny. It is definitely a plus.

It made me think...what if I'll have my own call me maybe business cards from printingamerica.com? Hubby might not like the idea. LOL!

Of course, I was just kidding. But for all the singles out there, what have you got to lose. I think this is worth trying.

Briefcase Envy

I actually have a shoe envy, a briefcase envy and food envy from my husband. I don't know why. To think I have better taste than him. LOL!

Case in point: We go to a restaurant, he orders a somewhat plain-sounding food name while I order something fabulous-sounding food name. It turns out his food will be more gorgeous to look at and more delicious as well.

Another case in point: I love his shoes. If we only have the same size, I am sure I will be stealing a couple of them. Hahaha!!!

As for his bags, I love his new briefcase. I've used it several times already which prompted him to say "buy your own bag!"

Is that a dare? LOL! I will definitely buy one of these days. Here are some of the briefcases for men that I covet:

Definition of Chic

These ladies are my definition of chic, stunning and gorgeous. When I grow up I want to be like them. Oh how I wish!

Anne Hathaway in a perfect dress, perfect body and a perfect pixie cut. Photo swiped from Mike Marsland WireImage.

Another lady who's been rocking the pixie cut for a long time now is Michelle Williams. I remember he Dawson Creek days and I have to say that short hair really suits her.

Photo by Gregg DeGuire WireImage. I love her dress here. Even though the slit at the side is almost up to her waist, it doesn't look too revealing. The shoes perfectly matched her dress very lovely dress.

I wonder, are the pouches they are carrying big enough for a key chain bottle opener? Just thinking out loud.

Anyway, my hair is starting to grow long now from a pixie cut last year. I am almost convinced now to cut it again after seeing these photos.

Bubble Necklace from J. Crew

I must confess I love jewelries. The bigger, the bolder, the better. Unfortunately, I am convinced wearing one doesn't suit me. So I always end up just lusting after one. Like this new necklace from J. Crew.

Out of topic - look at the model's eyebrows. It's thick but it's brushed (for lack of better words). It's nice. Is that the new look now? Mine is still skinny and arched. Hmm..maybe I should grow my eyebrows thick again.

Bubble Necklace $150 (USA price). If you live abroad, that's $202.50. At least that's the price I see if I want it delivered to Cambodia (where I currently reside). That's excluding tax and shipping. I wonder why there's a huge price difference? Paging J. Crew! What's up with the price difference?

Anyway, I can see myself wearing this necklace paired with my jeans, dress or bikini. It looks very versatile, don't you think?

Speaking of bikini, summer is just around the corner and we're thinking of going to the beach. Images of white sand, blue crystal clear water, a group of singers with Takamine Guitars, unlimited cocktails have already filled my mind. Ah, summer can't come enough.

My Golden Globe 2013 Favorite Looks

There were so many beautiful gowns on the Golden Globe red carpet. But like I always say, it's not just about the gown. It's about the whole package. It's how it fits the celebrities' body, the accessories and lastly how the celebrity carry the whole look.

My absolute favorites were:

Emily Blunt in a lace gold cut-out Michael Kors creation. She looked dazzling and glamorous. And I love how fit she looked.

Jessica Alba wore a peach gown that complemented her skin tone.  I love the hair, the v-shaped necklace and the purse. She was absolutely perfect!
