Handbag Hunting


It's been a while since I've gone handbag hunting. I was hoping to win the tote bag offered at Emila's blog but alas luck was not on my side..lolzz. So I guess I have to buy my next handbag. I'm hoping for some handbag sale somewhere because I'm really getting bored of the one I'm using right now. However it has to be of a specific size coz it has to fit the motorcycle basket!

Yipee.. the search is on!!

Cheerio...

If you're looking for beautiful designer jewelry at reasonable prices, you should really check out this site that I found today over at Wendy Culpepper dot com. They have beautiful selections from sterling silver to gold and the designs are all super unique.

Here are two of my personal favorites. Oh I love bracelets, in case anyone wants to know...lol!



Now all I need to know if they ship internationally.

I Love Shoping

...And yet, what woman doesn't, right? I especially love shopping for bargains. I love shopping at big major department store and heading straight to their promotional products area and oh I could shop for hours on end.

There was one time, I was in SOGO and they had this buy one get one free special on their ladies wear. I'm telling you that was my hangout for next one week after work. I was wearing a new outfit to work every day after that for one month. My colleagues thought I had a fashion show contract or something...lolz..

Anyway, those impulse shopping are something in the past now. Nowadays, I would consider and consider before buying anything unless of course it's a handbag or something to die for!! lolzz

Babies oh Babies

Whenever I go shopping and for some reason land at the kid's corner, I am in awe at all the cute little outfit that you can get for your kids. From party dresses to awesome little sexy numbers that I can't help but get one or two for my own gift collection. I say "Gifts" coz I don't have kids yet, and so they are for nieces and my friend's kids. I also like to get baby gifts as standby gifts. After all, you never know when someone close is gonna give birth right wink ?

Aren't these the cutest Twin Gift Set??

Shopping Time

We all know how ladies love shopping. We don't care what kind of shopping and we use all sorts of excuses, like window shopping only or accompany friends shopping and now with technology, we can even go online shopping. I love the latter the best one. Imagine not having to go through traffic, queues at the cashier and yes, carrying all the stuff home myself. Lol...

So ladies if you are in the mood for shopping this week (like you need mood to shop right?), check out the weekly best buy over at
www.buy.com. Can you imagine the 42" TV is going at a discount of $500 with free shipping??!




So what are you waiting for?? I'll see you there!


Cheerio...

I always say how I love technology. This is especially so true when it comes to shopping. Where else can you find products like Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses if not for online shopping? I mean if the prices don't entice you, the design of glasses available here definitely would. I simply fell in love with this one. It is so trendy and the price is unbelievable at only USD8.00 with the lenses. And the best thing about it is, it is done online. You just choose your frame, put in your prescription that you can easily get from your current optician, confirmed your order and your new glasses would be on their way to you.

I am so glad I found this website. I would name this site as one of my 2008 Great Discovery: Zenni Optical and this particular model as my 2008 Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical

Thank you so much Zenni Optical

Amazing Chanel!

I've always love Chanel. From their perfumes to their handbags to their fashion lines. Just something about their line that exude femininity. Who does not love the elegant scent of Chanel Number 5 right?

Speaking of elegance, have you seen Chanel J12 watch series? Absolutely lovely. And guess what?! I found the place to get them at a great price. It's an online store called "Essential Watches" and they offer prices which is more economical than their retail price.


Ahem Ahem honey, I do need a new watch you know..lolzz

Valentine's Day is around the corner ladies. And again that is cause for shopping... Yeay!!!

Me and hubbs personally don't celebrate this day coz we believe everyday is a day for love and getting something for someone you love requires no special day. That being said, everything is so expensive around this time because stores are taking advantage of this very commercialised holiday. So be smart about where and when you shop. If possible at all shop early, possibly as early as Christmas when everything is at a discount.

Alternatively you can shop online. Some store offers fantastic discount or free shipping despite the holiday. Kohls coupon codes for example gives you 15% of your order and 30% Off no minimum when you use your Kohl's card.

So go ahead and shop for your loved ones this Valentine's day but remember shop smart and wise.. after all we are the women of the house ;)

Mommy needs new lights

If you've been reading my blog, you'll know that everytime I go back home to mommy, she always makes sure there's plenty of activities that me and her can do together. Among them are dinners and shopping. You'll also know that she got a new television set earlier and that she wanted some new light fixtures for her room. So again we went shopping. I remembered earlier in the week I saw some nice lights online from Kichler which I'm sure mommy would love. Too bad they don't deliver overseas otherwise I would love to order one for her as they are having 55% off their prices. Anyway to make a long story short, we got the lights that she liked and now she is one happy camper.

Tobi and Me

What woman don't enjoy shopping? Even as I'm typing this, I'm giggling to myself :-)

That being said, I found Tobi. Who is Tobi, you might ask. Well Tobi is the next generation online shopping boutique experience. With an online stylist that acts as a personal shopper at hand to assist in your decision making, what could be more awesome. The latest fashion and brands of women's wear, men's wear, handbags, jewelery and even lingeries all at your fingertips and at reasonable prices.

I took a liking to this particular pair of jeans from their seven for all mankind range
called Dojo Trouser jeans. Isn't it lovely? Throw a nice top to it, put on high heels and I'm set to go :-)


While happily clicking away at the rest of the categories, I went to their men's section and found the brand nudie jeans. Since hubby need a new pair of jeans anyway why not get him a nudie right? Made in Italy, they come in a variety of cut and design from "Grim Trim Skinny", "Slim Jim Skinny", "Thin Finn Skinny"
and the "Regular Ralf Straight Leg Jeans". Hmm.. wonder which one will look good on hubby.

Tobi dot com also has the occasional sale items that has prices slashed all the way down by 80% and they are offering domestic free shipping anywhere in the US.

Sweet deal.. I say..

I love Shopping in Singapore

I don't care that Singaporean say it's cheaper to shop in Malaysia. I still say shopping in Singapore is the best. A lot of items are still cheaper even with the current exchange rate (if you know where to shop that is). Where else can you get Kao Feather (or is it Heather) shampoo for S$1 a bottle (RM5.90 in KL) and Oral B toothbrush for S$0.80 (RM3.00 in KL) if not for Singapore... Aiyoo... going crazy looking at the current fashion as well.. I'm so gonna burst my budget...

Dangerous Flip Flop..

You know how sometimes, somethings are so cheap that you just got to have it. I know I am like that sometimes. To me, it's like, hmm only $5.00, so cheap, even if I were to use it 3 times, it's worth it because it is so pretty.

Anyway, I got this from an email today. This pair is definitely cheap....


but to end up like this??

I'll be more careful next time...thank you

A Handbag Lunatic

I am a handbag lunatic. I can't leave a shopping mall without looking at handbags. The problem is I always end up buying one. Currently I have more handbags than I use and still find excuses to buy more! I already have a reason to buy my next one.

I love the small ones. I love the big ones. I love the black ones and I love the red ones. I love them all.. so help me GOD!

AND I've fallen in love with the "Freaky" handbag (see below) from the "Bitten" range from SJP. Seriously considering buying from e-Bay using my sponsored post earning.... now to find a seller that ships to KL...




Psst.. anyone bought one already?? love it?? hate it?? tell me, tell me..

Also on the topic of handbags and if you are from the States, you you can get a FREE Coach™ Handbag here just by submitting your email address! Sweet!!

A Real Deal



Back when I was a career woman, leaving the house with no makeup is a complete "no, no".. Being the personal assistant to the Vice President of a multinational company meant that I would meet visiting clients, so I need to be presentable and "pretty" (actually, more for vanity reasons - hehehe) all the time.

Now, however, since my office is at home, there's really no need to dress up and put on makeup anymore. I also find that I get lazier each day and the only make up that I do put on are my eyeliner and lipstick when I go out. The fact that hubby prefers me without makeup only makes it worse. Special events are the only times that I get "dolled" up for now.

Anyway, recently, I ran out of eyeliner and was looking for my usual brand when I stumbled on this new brand that I've never heard of. It's called "IN2IT". The brand carried the usual range of cosmetic like lipstick, eyeliner and compact powder. Since I could not find the brand I was looking for, I decided to give the eyeliner a try, after all it was only RM16.90 as opposed to the RM25.00 that I paid for.

Not expecting any great result, I was pleasantly surprised. The tip had an easy glide, the color was bright and overall, a great value for money. This one is a real winner. I found me a great product which is easy on the wallet. Woooottt!
