Mega Update

Wow, my blog is indeed very dead.

I have been so distracted with so many things happening everyday, for the better I hope :)

My (few) Singapore loots for the past few months.

While these does not seem that guilty, rest assured my Zara sales shopping is making myself super guilty. And Taobao...

Here goes the Singapore ones.

Arcade Tiles Organza Skater Skirt in Cream
The Organza is so pretty and I'm lemming for a cream skirt (though more of a silky kind) ever since I saw a display at Forever 21.

TTR Bimba Bag in Rainbow

TTR Embossed Floral Shorts in Sunny Yellow

TTR Happy Summer Shorts in Boat Blue

TTR Marshmallow Clouds Skater Skirt in Aqua
I'm so gonna love this material!
A pity black is sold out :(

TTR Happy Holidays Pants in Black
Kind of regretted getting it because the pants from Zara sales were so much better and I got to try the fit which is awesome!

TTR Racefront Tank Top in Pristine White

TTR Racefront Tank Top in Freshwater Mint
Just joined BO for these 2.

Mostly sale loots from TTR yup.

And moving on to the Zara ones.
I have also realised since my trip to Barcelona that Zara Kids fits me better. No need to struggle to find XS.
And Zara Kids is cheaper too!
I fell in love with a pair of lace up leather boots but there were out of stock for my size!
Here:

And they were so cheap too!

Alright, so Zara...
And I was looking at Singapore website and I realised how ridiculous they cost. These stuff I got are almost all much cheaper than regular Singapore blogshop items.

Flocked Pants

Checkered Shirt

Embroidery Dress
Probably returning. Oh yes, I love the return policy ^^

Blue Jacquard Pants
Bought this from Barcelona

Corduroy Pants in Navy

Marl Coat in Grey

Ponte Pinafore Dress

Olive Sweatshirt

Red Corduroy Pants
I have some obsession with anything warm, fluffy or corduroy.

Basic Sweater in Grey

2 Tone Lace Dress
But it's not really lace...

Basic Sweater in Navy

Jacquard Pants

I seem to have an obsession with Jacquard, Flocking and anything textured.

I have another pair of jeggings that's kind of Jacquard but I can't find the picture on the website.

And this super nice Birdie Summery Print dress from Zara. No picture...

And finally, the pull and bear loot:

Floral Print Sweatshirt

Okay, the ASOS loot:

River Island Lace Skater Dress

So this sums up my Boxing Day sales, excluding the Taobao ones!

Quite hefty.

And maybe 2 more pairs of pants from Barcelona Zara which I am lazy to bother about.

I don't know if I hope I'll be here for Zara Summer sales or not, I'm sure I'll go broke though.

Quick post!

I haven't been good, I've been spending a lot, but not online.

The return policy is awesome here though! And I have no time to post my Taobao buys because I am too lazy x.x

From F21, a pair of corduroy shorts! The teal piece was so nice but there wasn't my size :(

Crochet top from ASOS!

Mango dipped hem dress.

Mango floral shorts!

TTR Love For Denim Backpack

HVV Moyo Basic Cuffed Tee in Daffodil

HVV Rue Tweed Blouse in Black

HVV Tobias Pouf Sleeved Blouse in White

And this pair of (hopefully waterproof) Timeberland Avebury Ankle Boots in brown!

Tulips

“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower. You didn’t have to struggle to make your face different than anyone else’s on earth. It just is. You are unique because you were created that way. Look at little children in kindergarten. They’re all different without trying to be. As long as they’re unselfconsciously being themselves, they can’t help but shine. It’s only later, when children are taught to compete, to strive to be better than others, that their natural light becomes distorted.”
― Marianne Williamson

“Let your beauty manifest itself
without talking and calculation.
You are silent. It says for you: I am.
And comes in meaning thousandfold,
comes at long last over everyone.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

Dear friends, life has been distracting and busy. I have 3 holiday trips in 2 weeks and lots of things to do. I do have a break next week to try and breathe some life here. I don't know why even uploading instagram peeks seems something difficult to find time for! And it doesn't help with my cold!

I miss blue skies!

And I watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower last week it was great!

China Glaze Holiday Joy 2012 Swatches and Review

Here are some swatches of the China Glaze Holiday 2012 Collection Holiday Joy! I got the 6 glitters from the collection before I left, but I didn't bring along Glitter All The Way.

Before I start, I had such a difficult time uploading the photos because my card reader somehow refuses to work and my phone refuses to upload photos onto blogger as well... hope my card reader is not eternally spoilt!

By the way, blogger isn't work very well too.

Please click on photos to enlarge!

Glitter All The Way

Swatches!

Left to right:

Glistening Snow
Champagne Kisses
Angel Wings
Winter Holly
Glitter All The Way
Pizzazz

I did 3 coats of each except for the 2 coats for Glitter All The Way and 1 coat of Pizzazz. I used one coat of top coat but it doesn't work very well for the first 4 as you can see the matt areas in the middle.

Now for some close ups :)

Glistening Snow is a silver based fine glitter with hologaphic glitters scattered throughout.

Champagne Kisses is a copper based fine glitter with hologaphic glitters scattered throughout.

Angel Wings is a gold based fine glitter with hologaphic glitters scattered throughout.

Okay essentially they are similar except for the colours. Application was good.

Winter Holly is a green based fine glitter with hologaphic glitters scattered throughout. However, unlikes the above 3 there was clumping of glitters.

Glitter All The Way has glitters of 2 sizes of mainly green, pink, silver and some gold. Formula was alright though a bit of clumping occured.

Pizzazz is a multi glitter overlay with several sizes of hex glitter a bit like OPI Rainow Connection but in general the glitters are smaller. From the bottle, most of the glitters are silver, quite some pink and very little of the rest. Only the silver had large hex glitters so maybe that's why.

Not as colourful as I would have liked it. It was easy to apply though.

Now I have used Winter Holly for the past week. Chipping was horrible after 2 days though.

Here is how it looks like!

The holographic particles glitter in the light :)

Merry early Christmas now! Great colletion for holiday!
I am not sure when they will be officially released but hope it helps for your to decide which to get :) If you stay in Singapore they are available from the flea stalls!

Creamy White

HVV Sunrise Minidress in White

Quite worth it, I think it's only around $20, and it's not really sheer. Made of thick chiffon rayon material! It's definitely longer than what's stated on the website though.

LB Tazelle Tank in Coral XS

This has been reviewed so many times and I can't believe I've not worn it out yet! Very versatile :D

SMooch Cordelia Peach Dress

Finally arrived from BO! I love the colour, chiffon quality is so-so, the back design is some clip which is quite unique! I don't really like the elastic waist.

Is it too big on me? :( Should I keep or sell?

TTR Cest La Vie Top in Cream S

TTR Fresh Picks Denim Shorts in Light Wash XS

I love the design and cutting for the top but don't really like the material (georgette chiffon), nevertheless it's really versatile! Will look great with floral bottoms and skirts etc. The shorts are a bit short but the prints are nice :D

MGG Everyday Runched Basic Blouse in White S

I love the smooth silky material of this top, and it's an awesome basic. Looks so pristine and clean! A bit expensive though, especially after adding postage.

TVD Emboridered Peterpan Top in Cream S

Major love! Wore it out the next day I received it. The embroidery is really pretty and size S will fit UK4-6 best, might be tight for UK8.

That's about it! Still left my LP Strawberry Tarts Dress... Where is it?!

My stash!

I must have thrown my blog into oblivion.

Now I'm on to another hurried and busy moment, and I seriously can't decide which of these babies from my stash to pack :(

Just bear with me for a moment!

(And why did blogger change back to the old way of uploading photos or is there something wrong with my computer? It's so slow and troublesome!)

Presenting my stash!
