On Tuesday, I..

Wore...

Blue shirt: Random

Black tank dress: Cotton On

(Does anyone agree that they are getting way too expensive?

Or maybe I am simply too accustomed to paying cheap prices for the clothes previously. Oh well.)

Sneakers: Converse

Necklace: Forever 21

Sunglasses: RayBan Wayfarers

Comfort shoes for a half day full of walking and shopping with The Mum and The Sis. Yes, Tuesday was VERY crowded. Walking around and trying to find a good place to eat in Orchard was a nightmare for a person who does not love crowds like me. But nothing stops me from having a good time with them!

Wore my fav ring...

Excuse my fat and stubby fingers. Pardon my marker stained nails. Love my ring. Don't you love how crazy and huge it looks? Pity the diamond on the bottom lip dropped halfway through the day. Sighs.

Had yogurt twice...

Have I mentioned I LOVE yogurts? Had them twice that day! Got to try Sour Sally's choc flavour with aloe vera toppings which was good but Red Mango's Mango flavour was... kinda odd. I still liked Red Mango though! The first flavour I tried from them was (I think, if my memory hasn't failed me) melon and it was awesome.

That pretty much summed up how I spent the last day of my long weekend. How did yours go? :)

I See You

Went out for lunch with the Friend yesterday

the amazing appetizer

nacho-with spinach dip

the Friend's burger meal - don't be fooled by the pic, my dears, it is bigger than what you see here!

my 3 cheese penne

We had the world's most fantastic time, hanging out and stuffing ourselves silly! It was a long, enjoyable lunch filled with crazy photo takings (haha!), endless conversations and me dancing whenever some random music being played. Delicious food, sincere customer service from the restaurant and chilling out with the Friend, what more can I ask?

Outfit: White slashed jeans, pale pink top with silver and white appliqués, studded black shoes and black bag. Sorry for no outfit photos! Lame excuse but yes, I forgot!

------------------

Afterwards when we separated for different directions, I ran off for a little shopping spree again at one of my fav shops ever! (Guilty look) Though I have spent more than I shouldn't but heck! I don't regret anything I bought, so yeah!

Florals & a Skull

What I wore today for a mini shopping spree (wheee!):

Floral playsuit: Cotton On, bag & shoes: Bugis & skull ring: Chameleon

This lovely playsuit has incited a number of inappropriate stares from the opposite sex. Like, whatever, never seen a lady in a halter top before? JAKUNS (Country bumpkins)!

------------------

Random facts I discovered today:

* I never look into the camera / smile when posing because why, the photos don't turn out nice! (BIG SOBS) WTF!!!

* Cotton On is getting dangerous for my poor, battered wallet.

* I should maintain calm and poise when faced with the word 'SALE'.

------------------

Somewhere... deep... dark in the room, lies the secret purchases from Cotton On...

sshhh... Silence is golden after all...

Plans During the Break

Things I have planned during the break:

1) Catch up on reading (yup, already on it. Have been going to the local libraries every other day.)

2) Go watch a movie (I am dying to see 'Dear John'.)

3) Visit the theatre/attend an art show etc

4) Exercise (I used to exercise regularly... during my school days. Even when I left secondary school to continue my diploma studies, I became an avid runner and visited the gym pretty often. I was fit back then. I could run 10 laps around the stadium and still feel strong. Not that I need to run 10 laps again to feel this way, but I know I have to get back into shape and most importantly, get fit and moving again. After all, not only one must eat right, regular exercise is essential for a healthy lifestyle, isn't it? But don't get me wrong, the break is going to encourage me to start exercising regularly since time is in my hands but I will try my darnest to squeeze in some exercise as well once I return back to the grind.)

5) Join a marathon this year (Ever since the Brother joined the annual SAFRA marathon last year, he had been encouraging me to join in as well. But due to work commitments, I had no time for training. Seeing him complete a marathon inspired me to complete a marathon as well. He is going for another marathon this year. Yes, I am very proud of the Brother. I am planning to join a marathon this year and I will do my best to make time for training. I can't wait to join him!)

6) Travel (Already in the works!)

7) Continue to plan on what I am going to do next...

------------------

On our way home today, the Sister and I did a little shopping spree..

The Week

This week has been a pretty stressful week for me.. So glad it is finally over!

What I wore to work on Thursday:

Bolero, bag & flats: Bugis, Skirt: Cotton On & a white random tank (ripped out the annoying brand tag digging onto my skin ages ago since it pissed me off with the constant painful rubbing on the skin)

I am a fan of boleros. It covers your shoulders but does not have the weight of a cardigan/jacket. Particularly useful and bearable in our hot climate. This pair of flats have been dominating my work-robe for the whole week. Comfy and versatile, it has become a necessary staple over a pair of high heels. Especially practical for running after trains and buses when running late!

------------------

My new purchases this week!!!

Rings

belt

five tops (not pictured)

a fringed scarf (not pictured)

a bag (not pictured)

....oops, I think I shopped too much..

------------------

Few weeks back, The Sister and I purchased some (okay, 10 over pieces!) vintage stuff online and it came on Wednesday while I was at work. Love the (old) new finds! Sadly though, I had really liked one of the items, an embroidered rose skirt but I think the skirt liked The Sister a lot because she looks super good in it. She ended up with the skirt. Sighs..

Moving onto the bright side!

The most treasured piece of all: the vintage cropped jacket.

The picture does not do justice. It is so much lovelier in real life. The swirl of colours, the fit and the sleeves are amazing! It has become one of my most favourite pieces in the wardrobe. I am so in love with this piece!!!

I seriously cannot wait to put it on and strut around the sunny island, completely deranged screaming "I LOVE THIS JACKET!"

Hahaha!

Just kidding!!!
