because I don’t update this blog often, there are quite a number of drafts pending…so sometimes some new posts will not appear at the top, rather, they appeared somewhere in the middle. So look right to the very bottom for updates, k? Sorry for this confusion, will try to sort things out soon ;)

Oh ya, for those password-protected ones, just leave a comment with your email in this post and I will email the password to you ok?

East Gate Shenzhen, RMB35

Yes, Shenzhen was not really fun. The tour guide brought us to too many shops. Honestly, I really thought we were wasting time in Shenzhen as we only visited one place of interest.

Then at night, the tour guide did not even bring us shopping. We had to go ourselves to East Gate market by taxi. And then, all the shops started closing at 10pm so we only had like, less than one hour to shop.

Although one of the tour guides say we can bargain here, it was really impossible to bargain with the Chinese women. They were all so fierce and steadfast. Especially since my mom and myself’s Mandarin is not great, I think they deliberately charged us at higher prices than their locals. Which is why we did not shop much here either.

At the very last minute, just before the shops were about to closed, I bought these pink flats. Although there were a lot of shoes here, generally they are all not very comfortable at all. You need to have iron feet to wear them.

They were originally priced at RMB39 but she only minus a little, charging me RMB35 (approx. RM17). Eventhough she did not decrease much for me, but I figured that RM17 is still quite cheap for a pair of shoes. Also I can wear these to class.

HK ladies' market, $100 HKD

I went to HK/Macau/Shenzhen last week. Because the tour was only 5 days, there was not much time for shopping. When you reach the hotel at night, all you want to do is just sleep.

In HK, the tour guide was nice to bring us to Ladies Market (Lui Yan Gai), a whole street filled with vendors selling handbags, clothes and shoes.

The only thing is, nothing in HK is cheap. Cheap to the locals, but to us Malaysians, KL is cheaper. So there is not really much to buy.

However, I still managed to copped a quilted handbag. I have been eyeing for one since a few months ago, I spotted these quilted bags on online blogs. But they were always too expensive.

Of course, these are very much inspired by Chanel. $100 HKD roughly equals to RM44.30. I know, not very cheap right? But a good thing compared to online blogs is that I get to feel the material. And this bag has good material, hard and durable.

Last night, when I visited Sweatlee, a Msian blogger, I found out she bought an almost similar bag to mine, but in pink, in Hong Kong as well~! Lol. You can compare it yourself *link to photo here* and *link to blog post here*

I really like this bag, already start using it already ;)

The first outfit I chose

second outfit is final outfit

I had a much simpler bday this year, a contrast as compared to my 21st bday bash last year.

Had bday lunch at Pasta Zanmai @ Mid Valley with my Mom. It was only so-so.

Do you know I turned 22 years old on 22nd of Nov? Once in a lifetime. Hehe ;)

Blazer, flea market

Black dress, Imbi

Jandi shoes (over-worn), Vincci

Studded belt, DIY

Old school, RM35

Doesn’t this sweater jacket kinda reminds one of old school hip hop from the 90s’? LOL;)

Went and have breakfast with my mom and aunt at Imbi Market today. It was kinda boring because there isn’t any nice clothes that day. The thing is, markets usually cater clothes for either the “ahjummas” (aunties) or OLs.

But somehow this sweater jacket kind of grab my attention. Like the graffiti inspired prints.

Have been very much interested in hooded jackets since seeing boys from 2Pm wearing them all the time.

Imbi, RM35

My birthday morning was spend shopping with my mom and aunt.

It is hard to find anything nice at Imbi flea market, but after buying a hooded jacket, I saw this really cute denim dress.

I like the material, and I think it is quite nice. It is a little too big for me though. Because it was the last piece, and it was one size bigger than what I usually wear.

Because I like it, my aunt paid for it. Hehe, as a bday present.

Sat, RM40

a closer look

Yes, yet another item I bought for my trip. I like the collar a lot and the weird brooch? Just adds to old charm look i guess. Not too fond of the colour though…

The thing with buying clothes with these kind of thick material is that  I won’t wear it when I am in Msia. But is just hard to resist buying nice clothes since will be taking lots of photos;)

Jailbird

Thurs, RM25

Judging from the “jailbird” turtleneck I bought, you know it is so impractical to wear that in hot Msia right?

Yup, that is right. I did not buy it to wear in Msia. I am going on a holiday for a few days only.

No, the place I am going is not very far away, and is not very cold. Slightly cooler, yes;)

Going on a trip means shopping? Haih…I need to shop less already…

Argyle, RM15

Argyle @ Saturday, RM15

Being in Pharmacy don’t require one to be fashionable. In fact, it is always tee and jeans/cargo pants/khakis.

Might be fun once in a while to try something different.

Argyle prints = nerd chic ;)

Lace bolero, RM20

Lace bolero, RM20

Yes, it seems lately that my taste in shopping has gone basic.

I think the lace trend is so hawt right now, but I think lace is hard to buy without ending up looking like an old granny. LOL;)

Anyway, gotta keep my post short since I still have so much to study.

Bought this at Friday flea market. I think it can go well with some of my sleeveless tops. I like lace with rose prints on it, rather than those that resembles tablecloth.

After so long waiting, I finally got my caged heels!!!

I have laid my eyes on this craze for a long time now, since its debut on The Kooky Thing. But I never bought them because of their steep price, at RM60 per pair.

These caged heels sold out almost instantly and I thought that was the end of it.

Then, I came across a girl re-selling the exact same caged heels from The Kooky Thing. I found her ad via Shopping Gazebo, a blog dedicated for people wanting to re-sell items they have already bought from online blogshops but never worn.

What I like about Shopping Gazebo is that the items are usually sold slightly cheaper than their original price, and although the policy is that the items are brand-new and never worn, it is hard to guarantee that.

Anyway, I am glad that the girl, CJ, was re-selling these caged heels she originally bought from The Kooky Thing. After negotiating the price to RM45 plus postage, then came the long delay.

*Sigh* I guess this is what happens when you deal with someone that does not own a blogshop. It takes her so long time to reply my emails and smses, giving lots of excuses – exams, handphone spoilt, etc. I did not know why I still entertain her honestly, because I thought she lack professionalism in selling the shoes to me.

Finally, after being really upset with her taking such a long time to reply me, up to a point when I did not want the shoes anymore, I told her that I won’t bank in the money until she deliver the shoes for me. I thought it was the right thing to do, because I did not want to have to wait 3 months to get my shoes just because she has such a busy social life.

Luckily, that got her worried, I guess. So to keep long story short, I agreed to bank in deposit of RM23 to her first and pay the rest when the shoes came.

Again, Pos Laju came when I wasn’t at home. Spend long time calling the hotline in order to get a re-send. Thank goodness my roommate was at home when the second time around.

I am so happy with this purchase. I simply love this caged heels style, albeit the heels are kinda high for me.

*Loves* I dunno when am I going to wear them but I just had to buy it. Sigh, such a shopaholic me…

Guess what finally arrive in my mail?
