hong kong hauls

this time shopping in hk seems much more fruitful despite the short trip. it's the season for summer (that means floral) clothes ....these are some of the things i've got!

braided hairband, colored island bracelets and explorer shorts from H&M

my most expensive handbag and it's from Rabeanco. it's calf leather and quite heavy on its own actually. but i love it. we have Rabeanco in Singapore and you can find it in Ion Orchard but it's much more expensive here. in HK, it's tax free and we got a 15% off our purchase (sis got one too)......and we became a member instantly...the small key pouch was free when i purchased my bag!

guess what? paul and joe collaborated with Uniqlo and i've got myself 2 casual tops! didn't see it in singapore though. the top one with green flower motifs and purple ribbons look quite aunty...heh...but i didn't care. there is actually the logo of paul and joe at the back of the top...but no one can see unless i tie my hair up...i'm gonna wear it today...let's see how it turns out..

ahh...this one..is definitely a paul and joe design...nice right?

sis got this pair of electric blue pumps from H&M at a very reasonable price. i actually like it!! heh..didn't get myself a pair.

it's the season of giving...

i made the pegs. used the kodomo no kao stamps i got from osaka and borrowed D's labeller. something practical for my colleagues. hope they like it.

store & pour

this term was introduced to me by D. i had spend my leave these 2 weeks packing & unpacking since D was in the midst of a house move. we've learnt quite a bit about storage from the arm strenuous routine. if a cupboard/wardrobe is not well-designed or made for the purpose of what you need to store, it'll probably leave you with some wastage of space. i mean, if you're living in singapore, unless you're a millionaire, you will not be able to have a big house with alot of storage space for organising your things.

muji, ikea & howards storage were some places we visited over and over again.
muji - has well made and clean looking home furniture which is great for small space.
howards - stuff are on the high end side, however is good if you're looking for better quality storage.
ikea - well, if you're on a budget, perhaps you can try this. they have just come up with a good series of kitchen range of products. also, the storage range they have is quite good and we bought alot of boxes and compartment storage to organise D's personal and bar tools.
