Kaylene bought me this on Valentine's Day. It's presented to me by her princess, Anires. ^^

Oh yes! I get a bag organiser finally. A couple of friends have bought thiers online but I didn't add on to their order. By organising my stuffs this way, I would be able to find them easily now! When I were to use another bag, I merely have to transfer the organiser. Less hassle now!


Found My Melody bag hanger in Hong Kong! I have been hunting for one and those found back home range from $15-$29. I paid $12 for it and it comes in Mickey and Minnie too. This is lighter and I can say the quality is not as good as those which cost more. But I am okay with it as long as it is light.

Was HKD 799 now HKD 319.60.
The first piece which caught my eye.


Was HKD 799 now HKD 255.70.
There's a further 20% discount if I were to get 2 pieces from the store. Hence, I find this cute light jacket to enjoy more discount!


Was HKD 999 now HKD 639.
After making payment for the first two items and planning to take leave, I saw many girls outside the fitting room, donning the many pretty pieces they brought to the fitting room. (There's no mirror in the fitting rooms and they are fixed outside the fitting room.) I realised they have their reasons for not fixing mirror in the fitting room. They are "free" models and it catches attention from other shoppers who are browsing. What a smart gimmick as I was lured to browsing for more.

Was HKD 899 now HKD 335.
The sales girl brought me matching heels when I stepped out of the fitting room. (A couple pairs of heels were placed outside the fitting room for customers ;) )The heels indeed enhanced the overall look when u fit their clothes. Another gimmick! Ha. My legs looked so long and slender when I put on this pair of skinny jeans. Ideal for a night out! ;)


Was HKD 649 now HKD 415.
This skirt looks so gorgeous when I paired with heels!!! ^^ How to say NO to this skirt??!! I succumb to temptation again... this is the priciest (S$75) piece among the six pieces. (Heartache)



Was HKD 299 now HKD 120.
Inorder to get additional 20% off from the discounted price, I need to get even number items, thus I have to get this tee.

I got this on my last Spain vacation ;) It's my very first LV bag! ^O^

Sometimes, I really wonder, why would people pay a thousand or two for a bag? I still don't understand. I was out of my mind paying so much for this bag!! Ha. I tell myself it's merely a one-time indulgence.

Once I paid for this, I quickly open the box to see which outfit I picked randomly from the rack! Hope I draw one I like. I was a little disappointed as I didn't get the leopard print skirt. Boo hoo hoo. I was so tempted to get a second one to try my luck, but I am afraid of getting the same outfit. Hmmm... I was so tempted. The rest are so lovely! I just can't help thinking the rest are better choices. I yearn to own 1, 2, 4, 6.. Haha.


This is what I drew.. Have grown to like it over time lah.. altho' it's not love at first sight!


Tada! Second draw! I got so excited and was hoping to draw the box with mary jane shoe n camera.


Here's my draw..

I went to CTMA Centre in Mongkok, hunting for Blythe doll outfits. Out of 5-6 shops selling Blythe dolls, only half of them sell outfits for the dolls. Relieved to find one selling some girly clothes.

Here's the full set of 8pcs of outfits. They sell individual ones but the box doesn't tell you which set of outfit you gonna get. I am afraid of getting repeated ones. Since I like them all, so I rather get the full set. These are so mch cheaper from the last batch of clothings my frenz got for me. So glad to find gd deal here! Hmm.. think the quality aren't that good. I paid HKD290 for it.

I was so thrilled opening the 8 boxes one by one, because you are clueless what you going to see as it's not labelled. It's like unwrapping EIGHT presents!!

You get a chewy gum in each box, it's for you to chew while opening the boxes. Haha!

At the end of the day, my doll gets 8 new outfits! Hee.

Do you know Havaianas is originated from Brazil, not Australia? Have always thought it's a product of Australia as it's ubiquitous there. A Brazilian who chanced upon my blog provided me with this piece of information.

Havaianas was created in 1962 in Brazil and in 2001, they began to export it. Was told a pair of Havaianas range from US$2-US$20. You can visit the website @ www.havaianas.com.br & you will be amazed with the wide range of varieties you can find there! Hmmmm.. that explaines why a pair costs A$30 in Australia.

Here's the brief history ~
1962
Inspired by Japanes Zori flip-flop sandals. The plant begins to produce a Brazilian version with a big difference: rubber. A 100% domestic product is born. Which is durable, comfortable & inexpensive.

1965
Named Havaianas. 1000 pairs of these sandals are sold per day. Consumers find them in neighbourhood stores & small establishments.

1970
A publicity campaign starring the comedian Chico Anysio nicknames Havaianas "the genuine ones" to distinguish them from the large number of imitations that has been launched in the market by competitors.

1994
To overcome a crisis caused by a sales & profit downturn, Havaianas brand launches a single color sandal : Havaianas top. Supported by some well-structured marketing strategies, this product wins over the upper classes. Making this a banner year in the life of Havainaas.

1996
A new advertising campaign revives the band & classifies Havaianas as an elegant & unique product. Magazine ads reach a previously unexplored segment of the public.

1998
Havaianas Brazil are launched on the occasion of the soccer world cup in France. New lines & styles keep expanding the family.


2000
Morale is high at Havainas. The world's top celebrities get photographed wearing Havaianas.

Here's little shopping in LA with no intentions to shop at all. Chanced upon the store when I was walking back to hotel from lunch. The new shopping & dining area, Anaheim Garden Walk is opening. Many stores are still in the making. Picked about ten pieces, from the SALE corner, to the fitting room but left the store with 5 pieces. The price tag is simply irresistible!!

Her hair is getting frizzy & out of control!! Hence, I tried to soften it using hair conditioner & it gets really soft now. Haha.

To my disappointment, I didn't manage to remove the stain on her legs. Can anyone out there help me? Any tips on getting rid of the stains? SOS!!!!

Yeah! I finally owned a pair of slim metalic havaianas thong at a buy-3-get-1-free deal. I wanted to own a pair, since last Dec when I saw a tourmate wearing it. Upon returning home, I went to the store, intending to get one. But changed my mind as I find it horrendously overpriced & I happily settled for one similiar pair from Old Navy, which costed me USD5 ;)

Bought some gold kiwi, one of my favourite fruits, from Christchurch. I simply love the sweetness of it! Unlike its counterparts, the green kiwi “P which is more acidic & bites our tongues. Gold Kiwifruit have a smooth, bronze skin, a pointed cap at one end and distinctive golden yellow flesh with a less tart and more tropical flavour than green kiwifruit. It costs slightly more than green kiwifruit. It is less hairy than the green ones, so can be eaten whole after rubbing off the thin, fluffy coat. But I still prefer not to eat the skin altho’ it’s a good source of antioxidants. Was told eating 3 daily for 28days will thin blood n reduce blood clog. So, start eating today!

Here’s the history of kiwifruit :

Actinidia deliciosa is native to southern China, where it is declared as the “National Fruit” of the People’s Republic of China.[3] Other species of Actinidia are also found in India and range east to Japan and north into southeastern Siberia. Cultivation spread from China in the early 20th century, when seeds were introduced to New Zealand by Mary Isabel Fraser, the principal of Wanganui Girls’ College, who had been visiting mission schools in Yichang, China.[4] The seeds were planted in 1906 by a Wanganui nurseryman, Alexander Allison, with the vines first fruiting in 1910.
The familiar cultivar Actinidia deliciosa ‘Hayward’ was developed by Hayward Wright in Avondale, New Zealand around 1924. It was initially grown in domestic gardens, but commercial planting began in the 1940s. Italy is now the leading producer of kiwifruit in the world, followed by China, New Zealand, Chile, France, Greece, Japan and the United States. In China, kiwifruit was traditionally collected from the wild, but until recently China was not a major producing country.[5] In China, it is grown mainly in the mountainous area upstream of the Yangtze River. It is also grown in other areas of China, including Sichuan.[6]

Have always thought Kiwi is from New Zealand, not until I read an article in ST some time back, n realized it’s originated from Shanxi, China!

This is my very first time shopping online!! The overall experience was fun & filled with anticipation. Purchased clothes for my doll @ www.sugarmagdoll.com, from Sugar Mag Dolly World (Hong Kong). Got a little carried away & ended up getting 11 items altogether which cost USD118. I am glad few friends chipped in as pressies for my Birthday. Thank you Lydia, Joanne & Diana for the lovely gifts! They know that I am feeling down of late, thus wanna cheer me up by paying all the clothes for me. That's a very thoughtful gesture from them :)

I hope I have exciting destinations in my work schedule so that I could bring my doll, cladding in these pretty clothes, for shoot.
