It's the most Wonderful time of the Year~

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Christmas season is my favorite time of the year! Because I get to shop for legti reasons!
Yeah! And of course, receiving bonuses from work hence I think December is a great month to reward yourself for all the hard work you've done the past year!

As for rewarding myself.. I got myself a brand new tote bag! Hehe ^_^
Remember my previous entry regarding my dilemma between 2 bags. Well, problem solved!

Ta- da!! Say Hello to my new bag!!

Okay.. the photo that I snap using my phone (taken at my office's desk) doesn't do justice to this bag.

So I went to Pinterest to have a better quality image to show.

I've been wanting to get a black classic tote bag for the longest of time. As mention previously,  I've been eyeing on this Vanessa Bruno's sequin tote bag for quite some time.

I remembered checking it out at one of the store at Mandrain Gallery.. The medium size tote cost at $270 ~ $290 plus. That was when I was expecting Dani in mid of 2013.
But somehow I didn't purchased it there n then.

So this Christmas, I decided to purchase this instead of the Givenchy tote shop. Well, cost is a huge factor. Plus I think it's time for me to just go ahead and purchase this sequin that screams "IT's SO FELICIA, JUST BUY ME HOME!".

Super love it!

So this Christmas, our celebration are pretty subtle. Cause this year, we didn't went holiday unlike last year, we went Thailand for Christmas + babymoon.

Managed to had lunch with my gf, S @ Poulet, Bugis +.. to pass her her gift. And then dinner with my brother & hubs with baby Danielle in tow at the Sukiya Resturant @ Bukit Panjang Plaza.

Half Roasted Chicken in Cranberry Sauce

What's Christmas lunch without Dessert!! Their Creme Brulee is da bomb!

Didn't snaps any photo cause throughout the whole dinner time, Danielle is very cranky. Wants to be carried. Guess it's the lack of sleep?!

We dropped by Sengkang area today and checkout our new place. Saw lots of blocks are ready only left 1 or 2 blocks at the back that are still going thru constructions.

Keeping my fingers crossed that we can received the keys between Jan - March 2015!!!

That's all for my boring Christmas celebration.

Happy Holidays!

My baby loots from the Baby Market Fair 2013

 

Motherhood is very new to me and almost alien experience. But I am thankful that I have many girlfriends around me who are already a mummy and willing to share their experience with me. This comes in very handy when I'm preparing my newborn purchases...

Believe me, everything looks so cute all you want to do is just buy and buy!!

I saw this caption in one of the photos from instagram and I fall in love with in..

A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside, when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the first time.. and the playful kicks reminds her that she is never alone.

Can't wait to see my maternity photos with Ting from Lightedpixel Pixies. Know that currently she has lots of backlog to clear so I told her to take her with my shots.  I am a bride once and I know the anxious feeling while waiting for their pre wedding / actual day photos. =)

Anyway back to my post.. these are what I purchased during the Baby Market Fair 2013 at Expo.

I purchased a very cute Sesame Street Bed Bumper @ $10!! Also a hooded blanket / towel for around $20 ++

A baby sling carrier from "The Birth Shop" that cost me around $40. Some mittens and booties set for my little one. Bought 4 packs at $15.90

A safety nail cutter for my little one too.. I saw many mummies purchasing the 3 pcs pillow set so I join the trend and bought one too. I think it cost me around $12.90. I also bought the bean pillow too cause my gf recommended that it's good to have this bean pillow to place it on baby's belly or chest so that they don't get frighten easily.

The Philips Avent Newborn Milk bottle set cost me $55!

I wanted to purchase the Philips Avent Single Breast Pump at the fair but within minutes, all their stocks were all snapped up. I managed to hold on to a double breast pump which I'm not so keen to purchased. When the SA told me that they can deliver the breast pumps to me after the fair, I quickly let go the double breast pump and make my way to que up and pay all the items.

About 1 week plus after the Expo fair, they delivered my breast pump!

I saw many parents bought lots of pampers and they purchased in bulk!! I wanted to buy a few too but I'm not too sure which to get so I thought baby diapers are also available in supermarkets. I can purchase this at a much later stage.

One last item that I purchase - Baby Stroller!

Flite from Bumbleride

They have yet to deliver the stroller to me cause my EDD is only in Feb 2014. So they will most likely going to deliver during Dec 2013 / Jan 2014.

Can't decide which colour should I get??

Seeing all these baby stuffs, I can't wait for my little one to arrive.

Enjoying my rainy Saturday afternoon at home... with my little one inside, playful kicks and nudges..

The wait is over!!!

Since Samsung first launch "Note" galaxy phone.. I've been drooling to purchased it. But the very first batch of Note phones were marked at a very expensive price tag hence I didn't purchase and got S2 instead...

After a long wait of 22 months later and when Samsung announced that they will be launching Note 3 by end of Sept, believe me.. I jump for joy!!! Just in time for me to change to Note!

Say Hello to my new phone!!

Samsung users will know how well their phone is.. and those who are used to Apple products and then switched to Samsung phone will not get used to it.. But to me, Samsung is quite user friendly. Cause I get to drag and drop songs, pictures, movies and e-books! Unlike Apple, I need to convert certain movie formats inorder to sync to iPhone.

Now I get to enjoy a huge screen and watch my tv drama while on the go! ^_^

Over the weekend, I also purchased this!!!

Super love the Ted Baker jelly pouch.. Caught my eye on their jelly shoes but too bad they run out of my size..

Wonder if the other outlets will have my size?? Hehehe ^_^

My recent Shopping Haul!

Not too sure why but recently I've have been purchasing quite a few beauty hauls.. ^_^

The biggest hole I ever burn is the one at that shopped at Changi Airport DFS. Bought all these goodies when Mr Lee and I went to Bali.

Replenished my SK II  essence. It's selling a lot cheaper at DFS! Retail is selling at $99 but DFS is at $79

I have been wanting to purchase the Chanel Liquid Foundation but the retails store are selling at around $78 and I only got it at $60++. Lipstick too, if I remember correctly, retail price is around $45. I got mine at $36~

I've been using the Chanel foundation for quite some time and I can see it's really good. Thus far I don't have any foundation streaks on my forehead esp by mid day. With light coverage, I think it's pretty good for every day usage and it has a light floral scent too.

I've also got my hands on the highly raved YSL touche eclat highlighter pen. I normally used at to highlight my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose. So far... seems not too bad too!! ^_^v
Most importantly, I got it cheaper than retail shop! Hehehehe.

The MAC blusher is a last min purchase as my Sleek Makeup Blush is really a disappointment to me. I'm not sure the retail store price for Mac blusher but I got mine at $29! And I'm sooo in love with the colour... "Mocha". It seems me a subtle blush that is just nice for my skin colour!

Last by not least.. Lancome's mascaras! I'm so in love with their so Hypnoses Star mascara! The holding curl power is really as advertise and ever since I'm using this mascara, I hardly use my false eyelashes! And you won't believe the price at DFS. $37.50!!! Sephora is selling the same mascara at $50!!

Though shopping at DFS cost me a bomb but I think I still have quite a good amount of savings here compared to shopping at retail shop!! Gives me the reason to have holidays more often!

Another recent purchase which I have dying to get my hands on....

So far I've only used it twice so I can't give much comment. The texture is pretty light and fine..
Let's see how this will work after using for a month or so.. =)

These are my beauty haul for these recently months (mainly June - July).

Should stop shopping and save my $$$!!!!

Hahaha

So happy that long weekend is coming!! Simply can't wait! ^_^

Have a great week!

My lust list for BAGS~

I have been always a bags and shoes girl. They are my WEAKNESS!!

Though I think I have improve alot lately as I don't buy shoes nor bags as often as I do before.

So currently I have been lusting over these 2 days...

Givenchy  Antigona Shiny Smooth Leather Bag

I have no idea how much is the price point of these bags but given the name. My bet is at least 2.5 - 3K??

The Antigona bag is more of a classic work bag. Nice match is I always wear office wear.

Givenchy Medium Nightingale 

This Nightingale bag has been come for quite some time. But I still like the design. I've always love tote bags that is roomy enough. 

This bag would suit me more because it's more for causal and smart causal. 

I have been lusting over this 2 bags since I dunno when too.. Saw quite a few ladies wearing it on the streets and it's not as common as LV, Prada, Mui Mui and many others.

I was wondering if I should save up and purchase this or source around TB website to see if there is any inspired ones???

Hmm.....

Xoxoxo,

Shopping during GSS!

Hello there, 

It's been a while since I last write it... Need to continue with my June'13 photo a day.

GSS is simply evil yet so tempting! Cos I get to shop and purchase all my goodies at a discounted prices!! ^_^

This month I'm so totally broke!!! Because I've made all these purchases!!!

Some of my watson hauls during the 1 day sales! Many cheap deals were all sold out so these are the few that I managed to purchased!

Body Shop is also having sales!

Left to Right: Spa Fit, Vit C skin booster, Belief Sun block, Drop of youth

The "Drop of Youth" essence is my 2nd bottle! Which I super love it! After weeks of application, I realised that my skins' condition so improved so much!

Finally got my hands on the massage Spafit from Body Shop. Thus far, I kinda like the light cirust smell, When I just the massage applicator, my skins will all turn red. According to the SA, it's means blood is circulating. So far I do see slight results on my arms. Need to work harder for a toner arms!

My friend recommended me the Vit C skin booster. It's mean as a makeup which I'm using it like a primer!

My current sunlock is running low and since Belief is having sales last week on their sunblock so i decided to give it a try. Yet to use it so no comments yet!

The much rave: Sigma make up brushes! 

This is my 2nd sigma brush that I own. Super love their brush and it's highly highly rave and recommended by many makeup gurus~!

Finally sign up yoga classes after so much hesitations! Attended my first yoga class today and I learn so many difficult poses today and it's kinda overwhelming but I remember afew poses which  I will practise before attending the next class.

I went shoes shopping!! Recently I fall in love with Feragramo's jelly shoes but I thought it wasn't worth the price to pay $200++ for a pair of jelly shoes so I didn't purchase it during TAKA sales. 

Imagine my joy when I walk pass this shop at Orchard Central and saw that they have this pair which is inspired pair at a fraction of the original price. Bought it without a second thought!!

Not sure why I'm into flora stuffs recently. Bought the flora dress online and it look so much prettier on the model than on me. Hmm... seems to make me look abit aunty!!!

My usual oversize fit that I will occassionally purchase from this seller at Gmarket! Cheap and comfortable!

I don't usually purchase undies and bras every now and then. Each purchases will last me for at least 1 - 2 years. So recently LaSenza is having a lunch time sales for their facebook fan. Got to know about the deal and luckily nearby my office there is a LaSenza store! My loots for that day!!!

Without a doubt, Summer time (June - July) is my happiest month because of GSS, I get to shop without burning a hole in my wallet!!

Till my next payday.. I shall try to resist all shopping!!

By the way, it's another 5 more days to our mini moon trip to Bali!!!

Super looking forward to the private pool villa, Indonesia food, massages and DFS shopping!!

Have a great weekend!

Hongkong & Macau Trip 2012: Day 3 Shopping day!

I guess this is the day where I spent the most $$!!! Cause shopping at Hongkong is really good!! 
This time round, we didn't target any branded goods.. basically just our normal shopping of clothing, shoes and bags!!


We had a late start as we were both super tired from our day trip at Macau! So we woke up ard 9am.. wash up and set off to this famous dim sum restaurant. A must try if you're going there! It's the cheapest Michelin star awarded restaurant.

 添好運點心專門店 

From our station Prince Edward we took the mtr to Yau Ma Tei and walk to Tim Ho Wan

See the que!!

Honeydew Vitasoy!

Did some research before I leave SG to HK and realised that they have another new store opened at Hongkong Station. Haven't really been to any of the rest of the branches, though i heard that the one at Shum Shui Po has no que at all... but i've always been to the one at Yau Ma Tei so decided to head back there to have our dim sum brunch! 


Why is it brunch???! Cause by the time we reach the restaurant, there's already a long que waiting. So we took our que number and waited almost 1hr plus to get our table!!! But the wait is worth it. 

My advice if you don't want to wait so long. Reach there by 930am.. the shop opens at 10am by 930am they start giving out que number!

Some random snaps as we had to wait for almost 1 hr for our que number to be called!

This bakery sells very nice breads! All freshly baked! Nice!

Finally @ ard 11plus - 12pm, we got our table!

The food is really good and cheap!! Bill come out to ard  HK$122.. which is SG$20!!! For 2 pax! OMG!! Where to find it in SG??!!!

After a full and satisfying lunch, we set off to Fa Yuen Street to shop! To be honest, I love shopping @ HK. Everything is so much cheaper than SG! We wanted to go shopping at New Town Mall @ Mong Kok but didn't have the time and chance! Well.. let's leave that area to be explore the next trip when we are there!! Hahhaha

It's always close to evening by the time we finish our shopping at Fa Yuen Street... so we went back to hotel and rest our feet, recharged and off we went to Ladies Market...

This time I didn't take my camera out with me.. as my shoulders are very tired from carrying the sling bag...

Maybe the next round, I should shoot the night life around Mong Kok area with my 50mm lens! ^^

All my loots!! ^^ 


I'm a happy girl... wondering when can i go back to Hongkong again?!


Xoxo,
