My Loot from Mango Sale

I received a text message from Mango store yesterday that all their items are on sale. Finally! I have been waiting for their July sale!

I know from experience that they go on sale twice a year - January and July.

So off I went excitedly to the store after lunch. I brought along my 5 year old son and before entering the store he mumbled, "I am sure there are a lot of girls in there!" He was right. LOL!

After an hour or so, I emerged from the store with this loot.

2 dresses, 2 tank tops, 1 blouse, 1 skinny pants, and 1 blazer

I was pretty happy with what I got because they were what I really wanted to buy before the sale. I posted a Mango blazer earlier in this blog and I got it cheaper than the original price! Patience is really virtue. LOL!

Original price $119.90 and I got it for about $70. Hahaha! I don't remember the exact price but it was definitely below $100. So I am pretty happy about it because I have something to wear for our Tokyo trip. Yay!

I am going back to Mango later today because I want to buy a pair of pants. I was in a hurry yesterday because my companion was bored and wanted to go home. So today, I'll be going there alone. 

Wish me luck!

The Row Bags

I was just window shopping online for bags when I noticed The Row bags. Wow! I love them all! I love the clean lines and the classic look of their bags.

Unfortunately, I could never afford any one of these bags. Unless of course I win the lottery or something. LOL!

Prices and pictures are all from net-a-porter.com.

The Row

Small Day Luxe Alligator Tote £23,512

The Row

XL Day Luxe Leather Tote £3,496

The Row

Leather Backpack £2,312

How is it possible that a simple bag can cost so much? It boggles the mind, right? But seriously, if I have money to spend, I think I would not hesitate to buy any of the above bags.

What's your opinion?

Jacket/Blazer for Pre-Fall

I am preparing my pre-fall or early autumn outfit for our upcoming Tokyo trip this October. The coats I used on our last Europe trip will be too warm, I think. But then again, I easily feel cold so I will bring one coat just in case I will feel cold in early autumn.

But right now, I am liking this jacket and blazer I found from mango.com. Both are light and looks comfy to use.

Boucle Jacket $99.00

Boucle Blazer $119.90

I am going to check if these are both available here in Mango Phnom Penh. Sometimes, they don't carry much stocks here and it's so disappointing. And the best thing you can do is go to Bangkok, which is an hour's plane ride away.

Father's Day Treat

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there especially to my own father and to my husband who is not only a good man but a responsible and loving father to our son.

How are you going to show your appreciation to the man who makes your life easier, funnier, more meaningful? I've got a few suggestions:

1) A greeting card with your own words. Simple, effective and most especially it's not expensive. I think any dad would love a well-written appreciation card from you.

2) Lunch treat. If you have money, treat your dad to a nice restaurant. Like they say, a way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

3) If your dad is a little vain, why not buy him spray tanning supplies? Or better yet bring him to a Spa for a day of pampering and relaxation.

4) Cook his favorite dish. My husband loves it when I cook leche flan, his favorite food.

5) Give him full control of the remote control today. If you are just staying at home, let him choose whatever he wants to choose. I am sure he would love it.

These are just a few of my suggestions for Father's Day. I am sure you could think of something special  for your Dad.

As for me, I am cooking up a surprise for my husband. Hopefully he will be surprised and will like the surprise.

Once again, happy Father's Day to all the Dads!

Moving

The joy of an expat! When you are not moving to another city, you are moving to another apartment.

Two weeks from we will be moving to another apartment here. This is going to be our third apartment in what will be our 4th year in the city. Not bad! LOL!

What I love about our new apartment is that it is new and of course everything is new inside the apartment. Our current apartment has socket holders almost falling off. Hahaha!!!

I also love the flat TV and the little knick knacks they have at their kitchen.

I am going to be busy in the couple of weeks. But I am excited as well.

Moving to a new place or house always makes my heart skip a beat. In a good way though.
