Once upon a dream...

Once upon a dream...I saw this cute castle necklace while browsing through an archive of one of my favourite fashion icons - Nicole Richie. I fell in love....and began searching online...



Who knew...that after 6 months of staring at it online...I would stumble upon it on an unplanned shopping trip! Fate definitely brought us together.


Who could ever say no to this cute Kidada for Disney Couture necklace?! Every girl dreams of being a princess/queen living in a stunning castle.


From the gold-tone chain and pendant, to the pastel enamel colours, to the moving crystal pieces inside the door - this castle is every girl's dream and fantasy.

Yesterday was a "relaxing" day for me, went shopping and got a pedi with my mom afterwards.

As for outfit....





I once again, opted for my beach cover-up - haha so many people don't know that it's supposed to be a beach cover-up, bought from the bathing suit store at Bayview Village, Black opaque tights...and of course...





My fave Ferragamo Varinas from DBF! I received SOOO many compliments on my Varinas yesterday, it just completely made my day :)


At the end of the day...this is what I went home with...






This hairclip is not new...well, it's 2 weeks old..haha. It caught my eye when I went to browse around Anthropologie...and of course...browsing led to buying! haha...




I actually thought about these hair clips for a few days before purchasing them...as I got a new haircut and colour, the only way of styling it that I currently like is by pinning my bangs back with pretty sparkly hair clips.



All 3 hair blings together!


Then...moving on to my make-up purchases...
I have finally found a mascara that works for me! Holds the curl...lengthens and doesn't smudge - Sephora brand's Atomic Mascara!
And yes...several YSL products...I have heard SO many good things about the Touche Eclat that I decided to give it a try...it's still day 2 of using it, so I shall see how it turns out! I also bought a lip gloss stick in Iced Lychee colour - I absolutely adore the colour and it's great for the summer! Last but not least...easyliner...let's just say that I love it so far!




And of course...who doesn't love some free samples!
I have yet to try the lipstick, but I just tried the eyemakeup remover and it's absolutely amazing! Looks like I'm going to have to purchase it soon!




As for the BIG bag, it's a birthday and mother's day gift for my mom from her DBF, which I picked up for him yesterday. :) Inside it is the most gorgeous orange nylon Prada bag! I'll take a picture of it after she opens it
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Buckle my Love, Varina

Ever since I saw these during a shopping trip with my mom about 1 1/2 month ago, I fell in love, and by that, I literally mean the head-over-heels type. I have always loved the look of Varina flats, just because they are such classic staples and give off that flair that no other flats do.

After I saw them, I've been talking about them day and night to my DBF, I work at a store right across from Davids (where these shoes are being sold!) and yes, so every other day, I would either walk past the store or just stare at the HUGE advertisement of these flats outside their store.
One day, my mom, DBF and I went shopping and we dropped by Davids, I decided to just slip on the one that was on display just to satisfy my love for it. Then....the following slipped out of my DBF's lips: "I'll buy them for you the next time I get a raise." then, I was all smiles for the rest of the day.

These flats and I were and are meant to be, as the following Monday, a few hours DBF got to work, he texted me to let me know that he was getting a raise! And of course, 2 weeks later, my love - DBF presented me my other love - these stunningly gorgeous Varinas!



The lightblue/turquoise-ish colour just makes me go gaga over these flats.

Haha, my sister just had to stick her foot into this picture!


I wore this outfit last weekend when I went out for dinner with DBF and my family for Greek food at Danforth - I absolutely love Greek food, and of course, stopped by for some scrumptious desserts at Demetre's after :)
Coral tank top: Abercrombie & Fitch, Silk blouse: Collective Concept, Jeans: AX, Shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo Varina.
I purchased this silk blouse some time last week during my break at work. It's just such a summer colour that it makes me happy everytime I wear it. Also, the silky smooth material is just a major plus!



My sister is such a tomboy that she refuses to wear skirts or dresses most of the time, but because there was a special field trip for her school a few days ago, all the girls in her class had to wear skirts, so she quickly made my mom dig it out for her!
Here she is wearing....a peasant top from Zara and a Burberry skirt.



I have been such a bad girl after exams, I've been shopping and shopping and shopping! Here is what has been on my wrist for the past few days!


Juicy Couture enamel buckle bangle(it was on sale!) - will do a post on it soon, Pandora bracelet (Valentine's day gift from DBF, except I bought those charms myself haha), Hayluv bangle (and yes, it was on sale too!) - will also do a post on it asap!
That's it for now! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
