As Usual!!

As usual, we always stop by Pottery Barn Kids when there is one in the mall!! Couple of my kids' rooms are almost like Pottery Barn Kids' model room already! Well, I love, we all love their fancy decoration, pretty bed and bedding all stuff and children enjoyed playing in their stores very much. ^^

As usual, I'd wear my dress as my TOP or blouse whenever I need a fresh look!

Top: Romeo and Julia Couture pink chiffon dress, French connection high waist pencil skirt, Valentino For GAP ruffle jacket (belt is taken from its cargo pants), ivory knitting gloves bought at Therapy, Chanel 10A maroon tote, Alexander Wang combat boots in black suede.

My hands......grrr... funny gestures... ^O^

As usual, I have to do my volunteer job every Monday at Niel's school. And another usual thing is every month I have to read a book n' think about an activity that the students in my son's class can participate while exercising what had been told in the book. I am not doing it alone, I am glad that I have a partner, another parent's help w/ this.
I enjoyed those monthly books very much and they are all very inspiring. Best of all, I can keep myself updated at what's happening at their generation and at school. 

This month's topic, "Say something" whenever there is a bully or a tease happening in your sight. Don't just stand there or be a bystander!....... BE A Up-stander!!!

Best Children book "Say  Something":
"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito"!!  

As usual, my good neighbor, Denise, brought over her home-made Christmas treats as well as store-bought goodies this evening.  Well, I am actually surprised for her kind gesture. Even though this is sort of a tradition in America,  who doesn't love a free treats especially those are costume made for us!

The last usual thing is doing my online shopping this morning!

I had my eyes on this runway pair of Oscar de la Renta's 24-karat gold-plated green glass and sapphire drop earrings since last Friday. The moment I found it is sold out on Net-a-porter that I know I had to track it down somewhere~~  

Normally, whenever SA says: " It is the LAST ONE, I won't take the bait". But if I see something I love has been "SOLD OUT", I'd lose my mind until I find it!! ^O^

I was thinking, I had fun w/ statement necklaces, what's next?!! 

A statement earrings! 

Let's see how it turns out on me~~ 

What's the most usual thing that you enjoy it very much other than shopping?

Have a good evening!

Making Room for the Turkey ;)

On Saturday night I was celebrating Christmas with my first turkey feast of the season. It has become a little tradition over the years for me to have a celebration with all my friends before we disperse all over the continenents to our respective families. Luckily I wasn't cooking, so all I had to do was pop on a party dress (with plenty of room in the key area) and toddle off.

I chose a simple, sparkly dress from Miss Selfridge (currently having 30% off sale here) - note the ribbed material has plenty of stretch ;). I teamed it with plain black leggings and the cutest boots from New Look (50% off sale across the site here). Who needs Burberry when you have these beauties?

I hope you are all having a lovely run up to Christmas... my jeans are already getting tight.. eek!! ;) xxx

Happy Birthday To Me!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend!

It's my 28th birthday today so I thought I would do a quick post just to let you know that I will be posting on what I got and what I did over the weekend for it tomorrow.  I also have a few reviews to post about this week so stay tuned for that.  I am heading out to my mum and dad's house with Chris today so I will be back to blogging tomorrow.
