Zara: Woman Lookbook April

I meant to post this as soon as I saw it in Zara's facebook. But somehow life takes over and I just remembered it now.











I guess it's all about color blocking. I love the first and last picture. I wish I could carry it though.

Bought some items in HK

Wow, my last post has been almost two weeks ago already! I thought I made a post before we left for Hongkong and Macau. Tsk. I am getting forgetful these days.

Anyway, we're back! It was a whirlwind trip. It was fun and exciting. Tiring too.

I never meant to do any shopping but when you're in Hongkong, I guess shopping is as natural as eating. LOL!

I bought a couple of items in Muji. I also bought a white Adidas watch. I wanted to go and have a look at custom plantation shutters but did not know where to go. I also looked for Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm by Clinique but I couldn't find it in Galleria. So I said to myself, I'd just look for it in the airport.

Unfortunately we did not have enough time to go shopping at the airport. We only had time to eat, clear immigration and go to the boarding lounge.

Oh well. Probably it was for the best. LOL!

Share a Thrift Hunt: Black Jacket

Thrift Hunting Meme

I missed last week's entry again. So I am making up for it by posting my entry this week so very early. LOL!

I got this (a jacket? a honcho?) last Monday near my son's school. I was looking for a jacket and I found this. I don't know what it is called. It's a little bit flared on the sleeves and a bit short. I think it only reach up to my navel.


I got it for $1. I know the seller expected me to haggle but I did not. I think $1 is already cheap for this. I bought it right away.

I already washed it and tried it on. It's perfect! You will see it soon on my FB pictures. LOL! It will debut pretty soon.

Chubby is beautiful

Meet Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm by Clinique.


I saw this on InStyle March's issue. We were in KL then and I made a mental note to check out the Beauty Products at Pavillion but being the forgetful person that I am, it totally slipped my mind.

I don't wear lipstick. I only use lip balm with a hint of colour. Now this Chubby Sticky by Clinique is perfect for me. It's loaded with "do-gooders like mango and shea butters" and it gives colour to the lips.

I so want one.

I'm travelling next week and I will definitely look this up in the airport. I hope I get lucky. I won't forget because I have written it down in my iPhone already.

I love this coat!

A friend of a friend is getting married. And my friend is going to be a bridesmaid. She's been given a free reign on how to design her own gown by the bride. She's ecstatic and wants my help. Good luck to her. Hahaha!!!

So being a dutiful friend that I am, I googled bridesmaid dresses and was overwhelmed with the many designs. I gave her a few of my favorites.

I hope she can choose what's best suited for her.

I am also having a few dilemna of my own. I saw a very nice coat the other day at Mango store here in Phnom Penh. Problem is it's a little bit too tight on my arms. Arrrgg. I wanted to buy it as it was the only one left. Question is, can I trust myself to go into diet and make my arms toned at the end of 2 weeks? Nahhh.

But I really really love it! Here's a picture I got from Mango's website.

The blue coat, what do you think? It's not just a want, I also need this as we are travelling to a colder weather in two week's time. Hahaha, justifying my shopping.

I hope it's still available by Monday. I have made up my mind. I will buy it, despite, inspite and against any reason. LOL!
