My mom, who is an avid fan of online shopping, called my name {loudly}one day. I noticed the "upbeat" tone of the the way she called me so I scratched out me being in trouble. {I tend to incur the wrath of certain motherly err, affections}
So imagine my not-so-surprise when she showed me her latest purchases. Two big boxes from zalora came in, with two sets of shoes per box. I thought, wow, they certainly didn't skimp on presentation. Kudos to their marketing team! Good quality box and cute design too.
Moving on to the actual contents, I have a new pair of heels! And they're absolutely gorgeous.

What I'm most excited about is the red sole reminiscent of Christian Louboutin shoes! |
The upper part is leather and so are the insoles. |
It also has satin trimmings and really well made for the price. |
Now the only question is where to wear them? My mom suggests I wear them to an interview, which I completely disagree with since I don't want to be solely remembered for my outfit let alone my very eye-catching shoes. Then again, you have to look nice. :P
What do you think? And where do you usually shop for shoes and clothes?

Remember the lists and those resolutions you wrote {or thought of} at the beginning of 2012? Yes, those lists. The “I will vow to eat only organic stuff and exercise more” and “I won’t spend so much on clothes and makeup so I can travel more” Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera . Do you know why they went haywire and never seem to push through, which in turn leaves you feeling depressed and which consequently makes you completely forget those promises and then New Year comes around and you’re back to doing what exactly?
Making promises you know you can’t keep? Or showing the world that, here you are making more resolutions {most of which are the same ones you made the year before} which will fizzle out before you reach the middle of the New Year.
Why does this happen?
Hey you.
Happy New Year!
Meow?
Starting my post with something light, fluffy and, well, vain. I have an upcoming post about the New Year and goals and stuff and hauls and hauls and more hauls. And some reviews on the side. And music posts too! I miss doing those. Anyway, cheers for the new opportunities and meeting new people, and let me leave you with a very inspiring quote for this 2013.
Indeed.
Christmas is fast approaching, almost as fast as my aunt and uncles retreating into their hiding places. And unbelievable as it may be it's only a FEW days away. Where has the year gone? I feel like I barely did anything to pass the time by. Everyday's been filled with idle bliss(?), for the most part; not bad, but not fun either. Sigh...
Hooray for pasalubong!
My mom just got back from Macau for work and met up with my Aunt who lives in Guangzhou with her family.
Anyway, she got or rather my Aunt and my Grandmother got me some clothes and some beauty things as well, which is why I wanted to share it. I won't show the clothes anymore since I don't really post outfits here {yet}, so that leaves me with two things to show!
When I watched missglamorazzi's video on YouTube about an all-around salve for the body, I was so intrigued. Usually salves like those smell awful, medicine-like to be exact and always reminded me of clinics and the sick who visit there. But hers smelled good according to her, works absolutely like magic and in a cute little tin. I really appreciate the old-school packaging design of this product. And it does smell like roses. {I'm not in-love with the smell, since I'm not generally in-love with rose scents. I don't hate it though, I just don't appreciate it.}
Ah the Pièce de résistance. I love this scent. Ever since my mom first used it waaayyy back when I was a lass. She always had a back-up of this {the toilette version though} in her dresser, and it smelled so refreshing. I loved smelling it whenever she put it on. Instant mood-booster whenever I'm in the room with her.
Interestingly enough, I found that as I grew older, my choice in perfumes had the essence of what most of her perfumes smelled like {she has more than one scent, as most ladies should }.
I like wearing scents with musk and I have others that have a clean citrus hint to them, and she does too. But I still have an affinity with food-like smells, like creams and chocolates, sweet smelling but not overly so. Which she never found appealing. Meh. Must be the age thing. Which is understandable since why would a career woman in her late 40's wear sugary-sweetness cum toothache-like scents. I mean, that's just bizarre.
Wouldn't you agree? Or is it just me?
Have a happy weekend!
