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?

It has been a while since I posted any outfit pics…honestly I am getting lazy to play dress-up nowadays. Most of the time, I just wear tee+jeans+sandals and go out. Haih…I must be getting old… :(

23.01.10

dress: Sat flea market

red jacket: given by mom

white bag: bangkok

rubi sandals: singapore (i wear them all the time…keke)

Today went to Niichi with Mom because my mom wanted to buy some office clothes.

It is quite boring in Niichi as their clothes don’t really suit my taste. Those clothes that I like, are way overpriced. I even saw the same pair of leggings I bought at a flea market months ago. I bought for 35, they were selling for 59.90.

So I spend more time in the accessories and shoes section. They had some really killer-looking shoes here. I saw one that I absolutely love. It was quite similar to one that I saw in The Kooky Thing. But sadly, it is so expensive.

Niichi, RM19.90

At the end of the day, I just bought layered chain necklace. I already had one, but I wanted something a lot simpler so I can wear on casual occasions.

After Niichi, we headed off to Jusco since my Mom did not have any luck looking for office clothes in Niichi…

Here are some stuff I bought from Times Sq from way dunno when…

Times Sq, RM15

I saw this same belt online before and I really wanted a bulky waist clincher. Love the bright red and detailings.

Times Sq, RM20

I have been eyeing for a pair of slashed leggings for a while now after seeing them selling like hot cakes online. But many times I did not buy them coz I don’t think I would have the courage to wear them. Finally i caved in. Since it is kind of experimental, I just bought one with simpler design.

another weekend at home. instead of saturday shopping day, sunday has also become a shopping day too. there are less to see on sunday stalls but nevertheless, i still managed to copped some stuff.

shopping buys 16.01.10

bought 3 items from the same stall.

formal knit blouse, RM40

another formal blouse for classes. i think it’s pretty pricey for something so simple but me mom thinks it is practical since i can wear it for classes. love the colour.

dark blue shorts, RM28

shorts = a necessity for hot weathers. no explanation needed.

Leopard dress, RM35

i surprised myself for buying this. i am normally not a big fan of animal prints coz i think they look too old/mature for me. but surprisingly animal prints in a different shade can be quite nice. i love the purple colour and i think the leopard prints are not very obvious (right?). i know it looks like a nightgown, but its not okay? kekekeke….

Acid-washed leggings, RM22

finally my last buy of the day are these leggings. quite cool no? but i feel bad for the guy selling them because i tried so many on and just bought one. i wanted to try those crazy prints one but they all look too weird and exaggerated. lol.

another saturday. another weekend away from setapak and back in cheras. also means another day to do some cny browsing.

shopping buys 09.01.10

yup saturday has like, become my official shopping day.

formal blouse, RM15

cute tee, RM10

essential items in every student’s closet. formal blouse for classes (not crazy about the vest though). and of course, a tee shirt for setapak. the japanese characters are so cute. kekeke.

zipper detailed bodycon, RM45

i love the wave zipper pattern of this dress. i came across it many times but did not get it because it was not my size. it is slightly loose for me on the shoulders. i might d-i-y and put some shoulder pads on it so they have that futuristic balmain “strong shoulders” look. however, that is, if time permits.

floral mini dress, RM20

another one of those floral vintage dresses. i love the back of this dress coz it has a ribbon cutout. i am normally not this girly. i think i have been blog-stalking online blogshops too much already.

sob. sob. because of my current heavy schedule, i don’t get as much free time as i used to, to go out shopping. most of the time, i go to flea markets. ya, its pretty sad. good thing is these stuff don’t burn a hole in my wallet, as they are pretty great bargains.

shopping 02.01.10

got these at saturday flea market.

Brown jacket, RM15

i love this jacket because it looks a little band-like. but i am not fond of the buttons. i might sew some nicer buttons once i find the time. the inner lining of the sleeve is stripes, so if i don’t want the stripes, i can just pulled it down. cool kan?

Floral vintage jacket, RM15

as mentioned many times before, right now i am in the vintage mode. saw this pretty blue floral thing. like the collar, it’s pretty special. but i have to find the right dress to match this, or else i will probably look matronly.

shopping buys of the day

Not too long ago, I went out shopping with coursemates. It is good to shop and enjoy, what with all the stress of exams and thesis going on. I did not buy much that day but I am still very satisfied with what i bought.

lace leggings

Times sq, RM14

lace leggings. this was on my list for a while now. previously saw at topshop but they did not have my size. sad. i would actually preferred a white lace leggings but they did not have any other colour. it was also a great deal, cheap. so i just copped it.

Times square, RM15

i am seriously lurving all these vintage-like necklaces nowadays. i know this does not look very vintage, and like a toy right? but its still pretty cool. one more thing, it can actually light up too when someone calls.

Happy New Year 2010!!!

I have been so busy lately that I am not sure if I can afford to update this blog regularly anymore. Because right now my priorities are on my exams and my thesis. But whenever I am free, I will try to update here. I love shopping, that is a fact ;)

My Pharmacy Course Nite this year was at Cititel Mid Valley. Bought a more unconventional dress this time around. I guess, I was tired of looking at all those prom dresses look-alike. After a while, they looked kind of tacky to me.

clara & me

Hair and make-up thanks to Clara. I did her make-up too. I accessorize with a feather headband. Love it~!

my outfit 2010

Whole outfit shot taken near where I live in Setapak.

This year’s dinner was okay-lar. Maybe because third-years are the organisers, we did not have as much fun as we did last year. Too stressful okay? I was in charge of transportation and it was so embarrassing ordering people around.

Weds, RM50

“Fish scales” dress: Weds, RM50

White lace bolero: Fri, RM20 [instead of wearing it outside, I wore it inside so they looked like sleeves instead]

Feather headband: Fri, RM12 [lurve]

Black stockings: Times Sq

Black Wedges: Nautini

Black handbag: from Hong Kong

Earrings: Online

Ring: from Singapore

Rubi Shoes, SGD8.50 & SGD5

our last stop of the day before our train back to kl is to suntec city. we had wanted to watch the laser show at the fountain of wealth but sadly, the show was cancelled. with some spare time left after dinner at one of the shopping malls there, i decided to go to Rubi Shoes when their cheap prices poster caught my eye.

i got the sandals with white braided straps and the zebra slippers are only SGD5 upon purchase. honestly, the shoes in this shop are not very expensive but because of the lack of time, i didn’t get to look around properly. maybe next time;)

Mini-Bits Korea, SGD8.95

Mini-Bits Korea, SGD13.95

i forgot to mention in my previous post that i went to Singapore with my housemates on Christmas weekends. did not have much time because we spend, like, one day only there. but we still made a little time to go shopping in our sunny island neighbour.

because we visited all the places that we wanted to visit, we thought it might be fun to take singapore’s super-fast mrt to changi airport (we went to spore by train).

there, we saw this shop called Mini-Bits Korea that sold so many pretty and unique-looking accessories. needless to say, we spend quite an amount of time here.

what did i get? i got a bling-bling ring that had the letter “F” for fiona and a headband which looks like preppy gossip girl style.

Bugis Shopping Mall, SGD10

when i first saw this necklace, it reminded me of those pocket watches that i used to see in old english movies. y’know, like those pocket watches that englishmen used to place in their waistcoats.

i have a fancy for all things vintage so i just really wanted to buy this. it is a functional watch too!

but unfortunately, i saw the exact same necklace selling at bugis street for SGD8. maybe i should not have buy it so soon…
