Fashion Friday Finds – Brands from USA which I’ve wished I’ve bought!

Time: 10 00

Status: Still trying to unpack NEATLY the stuff I’ve bought in USA

Well while doing some unpacking, I realise I REALLY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THAT CLUTCH FROM ALDO! The reason(s) to why I didn’t? 1, I was in a bit of rush. 2, I didn’t think it will go well with what’s in my closet. While indulging in self-blaming,  I started daydreaming about all other stuff I could have bought to match the clutch .

So here’s a little something I’ve put together, all items could have been easily bought at a much cheaper price (and yes I didn’t) while I was in USA.

Inner Bride Wannabe – Wedding Photoshoot Inspiration: Kick Him Into the Water!

Time: 22 30

Status: Daydreaming about a wedding! <Self-confessed Inner Bride Wannabe>

I am always trying to persuade Lee BB to do an underwater wedding shoot but he seems to shun the topic every time I bring it up. My argument, it would be different from everyone else! So recently he showed me a picture for inspiration:

Wedding photoshoot inspiration? Hell yar!

Great idea isn’t it? LOL I so should kick him into the water and since he is wet, we can then do an underwater shoot! Haha

Jokes aside, I seriously think this is a cute idea because it shows a pair of humourous couple who’s not afraid to look a little ugly for their big day. Is different from the classic smiley shots.
What do you think? Do you have any other ideas? Please do share!

Biore Aqua Jelly Makeup Remover Review

Time: 11 32

Status: Still trying to recover from a bad BAD dry cough =[

Sometime in mid June I mentioned about this Biore Jelly Makeup Remover and this ta-da: it is now up on the shelf!

Before you go rushing down to supermarts & beauty stores to get your hand on one, read my review first to see if you’d like it! =]

Newest product from Biore: Jelly Makeup Remover

Summer Vacation Destination: West Coast – Instax Flim Edition

Time: 12 15

Status: Shopping on Asos actually. I’m hopeless, I know. lol

I was missing for a while the past 2 weeks or so because I had been travelling! If you followed me on twitter, you would have seen some of the photos I’ve been posting while on my trip. Photos may take a while to be uploaded but here’s a quick look at the instax flim I’d taken all over West Coast, USA!

Lee BB & I at Fisherman’s Wharf at Pier 39, San Francisco.

Was at Pier 39 after a visit to various places in San Francisco for lunch  a short walkbaoout. weather was a little chilly since we are like directly beside the coast line but it was quite perfect. More about this place when I update on San Fran post. =p

Lee Bb & I at Yosemite National Park, San Jose.

After San Fran, we headed to San Jose & visited the Yosemite (pronounce: yo-c-mi-t) National Park to view the world’s 9th(?) tallest waterfall. Did a little shopping in San Jose as well.

Lee BB & I at Grand Canyon, Arizona

Woke up at 4 & set off at 5 am to visit Grand Canyon. View was great but wasn’t that majestic. Trip to Canyon from Vegas will basically eat up the whole day. Oh & it was 4th of July when we visited Canyon. All Americans we met that day was excited about making it home in  time for fireworks that night!

Lee BB & I at Las Vegas.

A little ironic because we took a photo of the sign while we are heading OUT of Vegas to LA. But nonetheless, you can’t say you’ve been to Vegas without proof of that sign! lol

Lee BB & I in Disneyland California. Taken in front of Plaza Inn, where we had our lunch.

Is Disneyland, baby! Pink signage & vintage building = MUST take photo. LOL. Update more on Disneyland on the LA post. But let me tell you something should you be heading there for the first time: ONE DAY in Disney is NOT ENOUGH!!

Lee BB & I in Disneyland California, in front of the entrance to Fantasyland!

Fantasyland where all the Princesses stay!!! Look at the pretty pink castle! I want one!

Lee BB & I in Universal Studios Hollywood, LA

Hollywood baby! A walk on the red carpet for 30s of fame. Last day in USA proper. Spent the day in Universal Studios & a little in Hollywood Walk of Fame. But everyone was too tired to fully enjoy the day. Boo-hoo-hoo! Oh my, I miss USA already!

Anyhow, will update more in my upcoming posts. What you can look forward to: I’ll be covering on the places I’ve been to as well as any recommendations on what to do, where to eat, what to buy etc..  Basically a mini travel guide to Summer Vacation Destination: West Coast, USA!

PS: Pardon for spelling errors & grammer. I’m rushing out this post for I need to get out of my house for a lunch date in 15 mins & I’m not yet dressed! =[

Dessert Recipe: Strawberry Tarts

Time: 13 00

Status: Trying to transfer my photos taken in USA to my computer for editing & rushing a blog post for my you guys =p

My last breakfast in USA had tonnes of fresh strawberries & the first thing I saw in my email was a Strawberry Tart Recipe reccommended by Truffles Magazine, hence I was “inspired” to do this post.
