Help me with this one!

One of my best buys last year was this pair of shoes from a shoe store in Dunedin, New Zealand. It was beginning of autumn when I went there to visit my sister and this store had a big, big sale! I got this golden coloured pair of beauty for only
NZ15.00.

The sad thing is that I haven't got the chance to wear them yet. I've attempted a few times to wear them to the functions I attended (yang tersangat la jarang nya berlaku), but I find the heels a bit to high for comfort. Maybe it's age factor, hahaha. Coz it has never been the problem before (I LOVE highheels!). The colour is lovely though. It's matte gold, so tak la bling bling and over sangat.

Hmmm...sayang sungguh. Hope I would get to wear them soon. My girls have given me the "sharing is caring" kind of statements already... ;-)

Hard habit to break ;-)

The long weekend is big help. Had the opportunity to actually check my wardrobe. I realised that every morning I'll be standing there looking frustratedly at my clothes and tell my hubby "Uhhh, what am gonna wear today? I got no baju..." And Z will smile at me and ask "so, what do you call those things hanging in there?"

I got this crave about new clothes, new tudungs, new shoes & new handbags... alhamdulillah at least now I'm more careful in my spending. I usually pegang2 dulu & try on the things I like and then put them back slowly. When I go home, I would start "visualising" wearing them with whatever that i already have to match. Only then would I decide whether I really need those things or not. And if I did, that's when tido tak lena & termimpi2....hahaha, burux perangai. The very next day, I got them already!

I remember those days, I used to be buying on impulse. Some of the things ended up in the wardrobe, untouched for a very loooooong time. Luckily I'm not the brand concious kind of person, so long I like the things & I think they look great on me, yup, I'll buy.

I've just taken some pix of my personal things, just for the fun of it. Old or new, cheap or expensive, I keep them all in good care. My black Hilly handbag (a dowry from Z on our wedding) is still in great shape! And it is 17 YEAR OLD!!

Gifts


I'm very sentimental about every single gift that I get. I would proudly keep, wear or display those things for many-many years. I thank my buddies who always remember to buy me souvenirs during their trips (these girls travel overseas every now and then, macam balik kampung..). But mind you, they are so cool, down to earth, lawak habis & tak pernah "kerek" or "poyo". Nak show-off jauh sekali..


Beautiful accessories personally picked by Jay during her last trip to Hong Kong & Vietnam. She said "I know you're gonna like this. It's so you!!" Of course I do. I love them.


Classy dinner bags from Dina on my 2 birthdays. Have worn both many times.. They easily match anything! Suka sangat!

Dina brought back this Indian cotton fabric from Chennai with a few others for me to choose. I quite like another one (purple), but so in love with the design of this red piece and decided to pick this one instead. Red is not my color...even Dina said "I thought you would have chosen the purple one. It's so you". Yeah, I thought so too. But I picked this red one because it's "so you.." Dina. ;-D



These are the fragile tiny things I display in my showcase. Souviners from my bros & sister and friends like Ucu, Dina, Octavian, Normie..etc.
