Bargain finds.

This is gonna be a very interesting long weekend!
First of all we've got our day off today which is freaking amazing, because I can do some shopping for my Penang trip tomorrow. I'm gonna be in Penang for H-Artistry which I'm really really excited about, will be blogging about my trip tomorrow (yes I'm gonna break the no post on the weekend rule once again) and keep you guys all updated with what's happening in Penang!

Headed over the H and M today for a quick shop. Good bargains I found, got about 7 items for just slightly below RM200 which I thought is a super great deal. Should def check out the stores if you have time over the weekend.
Let's see what I got shall we?
Got some pretty basic tops that I think is a must for the closet=p The white top was just approx RM20 and the one in strip cost a little more but I just couldn't resist the colorful stripes!

Got these from the buy 1 get 1 free sale stash and have just tried them on just(I don't really do clothes fitting in the store because I get really agitated waiting in line) and they are def really worth the price. Love the cutting too so was thinking of wearing the one on the left for H.A tomorrow.

and the very much needed shorts. I've been gymming at home so much I thought it's time to buy some decent gymwear. Wearing long yoga pants has never really been comfy(it's also quite stuffy) so I've thought about wearing shorts, only prob is that the gym wear are usually really expensive and I can never justify buying them so these would be pretty perfect.
In case you are wondering, the 2 from the left are the gym shorts I'm thinking of wearing. The one in neon yellow is just gonna be  my wear out shorts=p

So OOTD today! Thought of going a little highschool today so I opted for the high waisted skirt I bought when I was in OZ. Super love them but they can be quite tricky to wear. The heels, I thought fit in perfectly well with the outfit to give it a more cheeerful feel.

I can never say no to highwaisted skirts, they are more irresistible when they've look all old school english uniform looking. Watch is from Bulova, got them when I was on a cruise a few years back.

Heels are from Kiss and Tell. Don't think I really need to mention them any more since half my collection of heels are from the shop=p

SO that's just a very quick update on my end but I'm def gonna be back tomorrow to blog! Hopefully we'll be able to check into our hotel a little earlier so I give you guys a quick hotel tour too!

Tomorrow's the last working day of the week! Excited yet?

R.O.M

So honestly I had no idea what to expect from my ROM since well it's my first time doing so. I've also not been to any other ROM prior to this so I had no clue to what I had to do and what I needed to do either.
Didn't really had time to plan it in advance so me and Nate decided to just wing it. Session was at 10.30A.M and we woke up at about 8.30AM to get ready.
Thank Godness I've already had something in mind to what I wanted to do with my makeup and all because it did really help save heaps of time. Decided to bun my hair up and go for the super oriental chinese look since it was much easier to keep my hair going all over the place throughout the day. Makeup wise I kept it simple, no eyeshadow, just plain eyeliner, foundation and blush with a very light color lipstick.

Got to the place and decided to do some photos before everything. In case you are wondering, Karmun was the awesome photography whom managed to get all these photos.

If you asked me how I felt throughout the ROM, I'd say I was pretty blur to what was happening, before I knew it it was already time to sign and once that was done, that's it.

So completely not what I've expected =.=
but ah well, here's another photo of us=D

and our rings. I'm a huge fan of anything simple and clean when it comes to something I have to wear for a very very long time so yes.


yayyy done with signing. You had no idea how nervous I was prior to the paper signing. If you've been reading my blog you'd know I've been having pre wedding jitters and was actually pretty worried about  whether I'd run away last minute.

The every beautiful 2 ladies in blue. Super appreciate them being there on the day. You have no idea how much it meant to me. Honestly if I had to do this alone I'd prolly freak out on the day itself with everything going on.

and how can I forget the guys.=) Honestly just so so blessed to have these ppl as friends=D

and now the whole session is done, it's time for photos ya! Did those roses myself, wrote a blogpost on it previously so if you are keen def check it out here

and Nate's friends who made it all the way from various places, especially the guy who travelled all the way from Singapore just to attend this ROM that lasted less than 30 minutes. It's always awesome to see you!

and you few people who introduced me and Nate to one another! I wouldn't have met him if it weren't for you guys!!

and a photo of our shoes since we couldn't wear them indoors=p

This, is how Nate felt after the paper signing. He was def super excited about the whole thing. Kid you not the night before he was already all smiling and joking say how after that night he'd have someone to call a wife =.=

After the session we all made our way to Bens at BSC. Place is beautiful for private session and super gorgeous for photos too!

Guess who else made it there!

Well I'm not gonna bore you much with food photos coz if I did this post would never ever end so here's a few photos of me and Nate that I super love!



and how can I forget a photo with my maids of honor. You've def been the closest relative since us living in the same place in OZ for the past few years. I have to admit things are def different now since we aren't staying together but you'd be the person who'd know what I'd like best and I cannot think of another person who'd be a better maids of honor than you

and how can I forget a photo with my other cousin! Don't you think these 2 sisters look super alike!

So yes, that's pretty much it for our ROM. this picture def tells our feeling best after the whole thing. I'm still not a person of weddings and paperwork so to have these all done and done, I feel like there's this huge burden lifted off my shoulder. No kidding.

So yes, here's to a new chapter in both our lives.

=)

Masque it over.

Soo, the ROM prep has been freaking crazy. With the lack of sleep, it has clearly taken a toll on my skin. So to save it I had to do heaps of last minute facemask that really did help. Figured I'd share to help those who are looking for a decent facemask right=)
3-Minute Facial, Super by DR Nicholas Perricone

My absolute last minute skin saviour. Works super amazingly well and it takes only 3 minutes. Def a very nice facial quickie if you are in a rush

And if you aren't in a rush, you could always opt for these sleeping mask. Slap them all over your face at night before you go to bed and you shall wake up to a super bright and supple skin=)


If you aren't really in a hurry or well it's not night time yet and you'd want some facemask action going on, try these.
Aesop's Primrose Facial Cleasing Masque

This is def more suitable for oilier skin, my skin's a little of both so I only use this when I have oily skin, which works like a miracle but if not, it does leave my skin a little tight.

and for those sheet facemask fan,

This thing is amazing. I was about to purchase the TT mask and I came across these. They are half the price and I thought hey why not, works really good and it does life your skin as promised=)

and for those everyday mask, these are def my fav. I wouldn't go pass 3 days without them coz they are easy to apply and def no where near messy which makes application much easier


and for special occasions, this is what I'd reach out for. The Jurlique's intensive recovery mask. This thing makes you look like those horror lady in the movies where they'd walk out with mud on their skin but heck it works so I would care less about how I'd look.

and these are my mask that I found really useful and that I super love so if you have any other mask you like, def share your thoughts with me=D

And over the weekend I had the most amazing time. I have a brand new phone!!


Can't wait to do more experiments with it because it's freaking amaaaazing!

OOTD to end the post.
Let's go monotone again =)



that's it guys! Have a great week!
