8 Things I’m really enjoying using that I think you will love too – Just in time for ‘ang pow’ spending!

February 14, 2018 Paris B 15 Comments

I am going to be trite and say this “I cannot believe that we are halfway through February 2018!” Is it me, or is 2018 flying by a little too quickly for comfort? Slow down! I want to cry. And I guess I will have some time to slow down soon, with the Lunar New Year festivities upon us.

This year, the barking Dog chases the Rooster out of our home, and I will be taking a few days off, as I do at this time of year, to celebrate the festivities and spend time at home with the family. Incidentally, if you want to stay in touch with blog posts, you can sign up here for a weekly email that goes out with a compilation of that week’s blog posts, so you don’t have to miss out on any future posts!

But before I leave you for the festivities, I wanted to quickly share some things I’ve been loving, that I think you might love too! Or at least, some things you can save your ang pow money for 😀 I’ve made sure that they’re (mostly) permanent products because I despise the limited edition push to buy NOW, as much as anyone else.

There are a couple of items that I may elaborate on in future review (holler, if there is one you want to see in greater depth!) but I wanted to make sure I told you about these things, some of which I’ve been using for months now, and thoroughly loving to bits! 😀

Anne Hathaway in THAT Oscars dress – Fabulous or Faux Pas?

March 3, 2013 Paris B 25 Comments

I don’t usually follow celebrity news and Awards season is usually a bit of a snorefest for me. Never used to be that way. I used to be a huge fan of the Oscars when I actually used to watch movies back in the day. Now that I don’t (and I didn’t watch a single one of the nominated movies this year – sigh!) I don’t usually bother with the Oscars or the red carpet. Not my scene.

But last Monday when the Oscars got underway, I could not help noticing many online references to Anne Hathaway’s dress and her nipples that were purportedly grabbing worldwide attention as she scooped up the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in Les Miserables (still haven’t seen it! Gah!)

So I had to go and look it up of course 😀

Here is the pale pink Prada dress that had people talking. Well, yes, it is quite an unfortunate design because I see how the darts at the boob area made the front of the dress stick out, and with light and shadow in play, its a bit of an outstanding problem.

Or it could be her perky nips, who really knows 😛 But there were 3 things I liked about how she looked (and none of it was the dress).

Time will Tell: The oversized watch trend that I just cannot seem to get into

oversized watch for women

I accompanied a friend to a watch sale during the week, where I saw a very paltry selection for women’s watches. Rather, smaller watches for the admittedly smaller wrists of women. There were lots of women happily snapping up (and depriving, hah!) the men of the watches on display though, and the lady manning the counter told me it was just “in” for women to wear a large watch instead of a smaller one.

Many women were going for the oversized watch look which is very trendy now and which I believe has been so for a couple of years now. Whilst many fashion brands do make oversized watches for women, heading to the men’s selection gets you an instant oversized watch from a reputable watch maker without the fuss.

Yet, I could never get into the trend for a very practical reason – wrist size. Have you?

Your say: How do you feel about friends buying the same accessories you have?

I think there’s something in the psyche of girls or people in general, to want to belong. And when you hang out with people of similar tastes and dressing, some of it is bound to rub off. Not always a bad thing, I can assure you 🙂

But I wonder how you feel about friends buying the same accessories you have? Not clothes, but accessories e.g. wallets, bags, shoes etc. Do you ever feel like saying “Hang on, that’s my look!”

matchy accessories

I found this picture on LVMH and this is pretty much an extreme case, I’d say LOL! Its almost scary how similar they all look eh? But assume something less extreme. Assume that its just the clutch that is the same item. Do you feel awkward about friends buying the same thing you have, even in a different colour? Do you feel honoured that someone would want what you have? Or do you not care either way? Curious minds want to know! 😉
