Summer Loot Part 2

And so... School has started once again. Thus, my disappearance for the past few days has been evident. I lead a sad life (don't think of my buys lol), don't you think?

Anyhoo, I finally sold my Yoyo Zeppas! I'm so pleased to have sold them to a fellow tpfer and reader of my blog, J :) I know they're in good hands - burgundy patent is just to die for! Now I'm thinking if I should get rid of my Balenciaga Gladiator wedges... as you can tell, I'm on the 'getting rid' mode right now. It must be my conscience pricking!

Here is ODJ 5 - 24.0.8.08
CK cotton shirt, Chanel black patent waist belt, Elizabeth and James skinny pants, Louboutin nude Yoyo 110mm and my red city Bbag.

Today's summer loot is themed 'CC Mania'. Scroll below and you'll know why.


I got this hottie off Neiman Marcus last call! What a close shave because I was THIS close to buying it at 2nd markdown. Kudos to patience and luck! I've been waiting to get this belt for eons... it's from '07 Cruise I believe. Can you imagine the wait?

And recall I mentioned I had an item stuck in the customs and had to pay taxes for?

Well... it's this little monster that got me into so much trouble!


But it's worth it, me thinks! What about you?

More to come so stay tune :)

xoxo, C

Summer Loot Part 1

I am not typically a summer person, though lately I seem to have taken a fancy on bright loud colors, if you've noticed my marigold yellow dress and neon pink clutch. Not really my style, I must admit, but it's the color block season baby! I've always been quite a neutral shady person who wears black, white and navy. I'm still staying true to my style!

Summer is a time of fun, good times and saleeesss... AND sales time means broke time for me :( I think I really need to check into a shoe rehab. You have no idea how many pairs of shoes I've bought of late!! I blame school and stress for my lack of rationality and the growth of impulsion.

Today I bought yet another pair of shoes but but.. they're sooo hot I just had to get them! They're in wedges gladiator style (so different from my Balenciaga ones), in my all-time favorite patent leather and color!

Errr.. okayy, I think the fever has really burnt my brain lol.


So here's the "first" pair of flats I bought during the sale...


By now, I think my obsession with Lanvin flats is clear. I can never stop loving them! The leather insoles are just so comfy and I love stretchy ruched up leathers :)

Well well, and guess what! Miss shoe-whore has gotten her 'shoe attention' diverted to some bling!


I love this cute pearl crystal accessory from Kenneth Jay Lane! I realize I have tons of accessories from this particular designer... I guess he and I have something in common ;)

Je presente Outfit du Jour 4 - 21.08.08

I ran errands today, went to the doctor's, did a health check up, went shopping for a bit and got my new shoes and met a good friend for dinner.


CK sleeveless cotton shirt, Marni black patent skinny belt, Development satin cotton shorts, Franck Muller watch, Prada nappa fringe tote bag and YSL stellar star sandals in cream.

For those who have followed my blog since it started, recall the entry where I complained I did not have anything to buy from YSL? Oh yes, I sure did recently score this pair of stellar sandals on sale wowieee!


For those who asked about the previous ODJ: the navy jumper dress is actually from a local shop here which I came across the other day. I got it for 40 bucks!


I can't wait to wear my new wedges tomorrow! I'm so excited!

Love, C

Outfit du Jour 3 - 18.08.08

What a surprise! Look whose finally updating her blog in less than a week! Finaaally, yes I know, I can really drift off the track and procrastinate tons!

So guess what, I might be hosting a shoes draw soon to reward those who have stayed with me all these while... a big thank you for your support! Without you, I have no reason to continue this blog :) How the 'Shoes Draw' is gonna work is that I will be giving away a pair of designer shoes from my personal shoe collection... more intel to come so stay tune!

Okay, you know my main objective of posting today. I know it's in the title.. I should change the title. Anyway, my camera had an unfortunate death due to my negligence at a party and the buttons got jammed. Well done... I am now left with my pathetic camera phone. Pardon for the lack in quality! Better something than nothing, right?

Here's ODJ for tomorrow - It looks work-ish though but it's actually just a jumper dress with a ribbon tie at the waist and huge pockets.

The pockets are too cute! They look like they have a flap and are closed with cute buttons but they're merely faux. The pockets are so practical! I'm in love with dresses that have pockets (if you notice my yellow Marc by Marc Jacobs brocade dress a couple of entries ago!)... c'est super!

I'm probably gonna carry my Chanel patent navy jumbo flap bag tomorrow... Hmmm but I might change my mind so we shall see.


Everything above is new... this is how long I haven't been blogging, omg!

The shoes worn above deserve an entry of its own... you'll just have to wait!

A tout ta le!


PS: Those hot Loubies in the previous entry are still up for sale! PM me!!! Those are super rare and to die for!

Don't shoot me!!

Pre-sales and deadlines are driving me crazy! There is a reason why I disappeared from blogging... and it's not because of shopping, my loves, but school! :( I'm sorry to disappoint you -- I promise to try to blog at least once a week to keep you updated. And sorry for the lack of piccies lately, no new loot has arrived yet! Wahhh, I can't wait! I need some juicy cuties to perk me up!

// Edit at 2:23 AM (you can see how 'hardworking' I am)

I've finally got my a$$ down to picking out outfit for tomorrow... because simply, I don't wanna waste 30 minutes in the morning just figuring out what to wear! And that's the sole reason why I am late for school!

Outfit du Jour featuring Miss Oversize Muse



It's summer and I'm gonna wear my new t-bar sandals with my new eyelet LBD! I love the details on them - very nicely sewn and they sparkle like crazy. I threw in my Kenneth Jay Lane apple necklace to match the hardware of Miss Muse. I especially took a zoomed in photo just to show you the details of the apple! Can you see the little crystals on the leave?



Oh, and obviously Queen B inspired, I shortlisted 3 headbands I would like to wear. One's a cute thick headband in metallic crackled leather, the other is a big tuxedo bow headband and the third has an ivory tweed camellia.



And if you have observed closely in the 1st picture, I chosen the gold Miu Miu headband. What a tease!

Tata y'all!

Up for another round of Purplicious candy?

It's funny how I have the sudden surge of enthusiasm to 'want to blog' -- most of the time I just feel like abandoning my blog. I think what keeps me going now is my readers who want me to continue this (you know, it can be a challenge). I'm not trying to flatter myself - it just surprises me that people do take me seriously. I really appreciate that you guys still stick around with me!

I have received a few comments on my Miu Miu Coffer and Muse bags. Let's keep the Coffer a mystery first (although there isn't really much a mystery about this bag), shall we? I was thinking I could post outfits with her, what d'ya think? I managed to take photos of the oversize Muse and Balenciaga '07 LE Magenta city together (although nobody asked about her I decided she needed some recognition) after much procrastination. And yes, I do wonder how the oversize could actually work on me because of my small frame (5'4 and size 0). Surprisingly, I can pull off the big bag look, especially so on heels!





Both pictures didn't show the true colors of the bags. I managed to dig up the old photos that I posted on PF which reflect their juicy yummy colors!





Looks like they smell like grapes, don't they? I swear I almost went up to purple heaven. I'm just so in love with this color - now you know what really kills me!

It sucks to go back to school tomorrow, especially so when it's a very long day, BUT at least I have a new pair of TDF skinny (blue) jeans to take away the monday blues :)

Here's Outfit du Jour for tomorrow - I'm gonna take my poor (old and abused) Bbag out tomorrow. She's the first Bbag I own and by far my favorite Bbag. And possibly the one that I have used to death!



I specially bought a Prada skull keyring for the bag, wah!

And check out the incidental 'glitter' coincidence I found on both fabrics (skulls are stitched in silver metallic threads)!



I love this new pair from Rock and Republic (told ya I'm a jeans girl :) I foresee this will become my favorite pair of rocker jeans. My current favorite (and has remained my favorite for quite a while) is the Notify small skull stitched on pockets dark skinny jeans... which might have to make way for this new R&R pair!

To top off the whole look, I might wear my favorite gladiator heels tomorrow. But for school? Hmm, let me sleep on it and decide again when I wake up. If not, I'll wear my Lanvin flats!



I blogged about these before on my old blog but will do so again here - I bought these on retail (crazyyy), so to justify that, I have worn them to death already! And they're only 6 months old. They were from '07 F/W (I love f/w seasons, yay for pre-fall) These BV hotties go with everything in my closet. They beat the new Balenciaga gladiators hands down anytime!

Okay, I better stop rambling on about my shoes or I'd never stop. You know how much I love shoes!

Outfit du Jour 2 - 08.04.08

No... I did not go missing! I've been asked why my blog wasn't updated. Acks, I apologize. I'm not all about shopping you know... (who am I kidding) I've been busy lately because of my coming exams -- I have to get my ass down to my books or I'd be sobbing later on! I took some time off to update my blog and then back to being a nerd @-@ (it's a pair of glasses in case you think otherwise).

If you're from PF, you'll see that I've posted my outfits for both yesterday and the day before. Anyhooo, I'll post here for those who have not seen :)

Outfit du Jour - Featuring Modern Chain distressed East/West tote bag!
The day when I had an interview with the auditors -- dress code was smart casual so I went in Rich and Skinny jeans, Chanel shirt and a pair of periwinkle blue patent Pigalles in 70mm.



Okay, it's back to the books! I have new loot coming in so at least there's something to look forward to besides my dreaded exams...

Outfit du Jour 1 - 07.04.08

Today is a bad day. Yeah, I know I have many bad days but today is an exception -- a bad and sad day. I dropped by YSL boutique to try on the new S/S '08 flat sandals that I ordered. Unfortunately, I did not order the correct size, so I left empty handed -- which is a rare sight! Then I met my bff who returned from London for Starbucks and had a long chat. That kind of perked me up a little since I had a long and tiring day (had an interview with the auditors and a very bad stomach ache which happened during my interview -- what great timing really) and I haven't seen him in a while. It always warms me up to meet an old friend and have hot coffee on a dull rainy day.

But the ultimate event that sent me to rock bottom is the moment I found out I missed my HG (holy grail) violet Chanel flap!! How in the world did I miss that?! I'm so sad that I am bleeding...

Anyhow, I promised to post ODJ (outfit du jour) today so here it is!
