OOTD and whats in my bag??

This is the last week off before i start working (the hospital life of overwork and underpaid)..so im making the most out of it! my husband has the day off today after working weekends. so we decided to go out on a little lunch/day date :) (sorry for the stiff pose, im no good with camera, ive got the quirks with cameras!)


here's what i wore:
i like to keep it simple for daytime :) and im a simple person..so..
top- Topshop
bottom- legging frm miss selfridge
shoes- Topshop
handbag- miu miu

makeup- lipgloss (Nars-frisky summer)and a smudge of eyeliner only ..oh and mascara.

we had a nice time..met some friends and i managed to get 2 slips from All Saints for only 9 pounds!! big sale!! go check it out if you havent!

whats in my bag???



this is my handbag of the month. its an old bag from miu miu raspberry colour with a cute little bow on each side. i think i got it last year but havent reached for it much until this month that is,i've been using it almost everyday this month.anyhoo, here's whats in my bag (nothing exciting really just bits and bobs of stuff):

keys
purse- i like them big and massive because i keep all of my reciepts.a habit i pick up from my husband.
pen- at least one! you need a pen.just in case.
a book- book is a must in my handbag. thats why i like my handbag big and roomy :) right now im reading 'Watching the English' by Kate Fox. its a good book,she's sooo funny. if ure into books, i suggest you pick this up.
ipod- i need this. i'd rather not have makeups in my bag than not having ipod.

Makeup
- 2 lipsticks : very variable, some days i'll bring what im wearing and on other days i just throw in a couple of lipsticks or..whats even better,i have lipsticks that permanently stay in my handbag (im a mess). Today i have with me Dior Addict 346 (beautiful coral colour)and the other one i forgot the name,sorry.

- lipgloss: nars frisky summer today. on other days its some random Mac dazzleglass.

- lipbalm: Mac tinted lip conditioner in Fuchsia fix (ive had this for a year, still havent managed to fnish it off yet.not even close! sighhh)

- Burt's bees lemon butter cuticle cream: i use this on my fingernails and hand as my hands are always dry and the skin around my nails even crack at times!(ouch!) i knoww..should look after my hands better. so this is my effort,carrying this stuff around.if only i can remember to use it.

*ladies.. notice whats missing?? i dont carry around any compact powder/concealer or any base at all for that matter for touch-up. weird huh?? im just another one of those that dont do touch ups.im strange like that..i know.

ok got to go now, cooking time! :)

ladies, what are you wearing today?? what is a MUST in your handbag???

When in Rome..

hello my lovelies! :)

sorry for the long hiatus. Ive been busy with exams, moving house, graduation and vacation.

I've done it!! After five years of sweat, blood and tears,i am finally a doctor :)
goodbye student life! The congregation ceremony was beautiful. i was deeply moved when all of us took an oath (declaration of geneva) at the end of the ceremony.



I went to Rome for a short vacation and my oh my.. how my wallet has suffered. I went just at the right time for SALDI (SALE)!! i stayed in a serviced apartment which is just one street down from all the big designer shops.you name it..it was ALL there. a humongous Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Tods, Dolce and Gabbana,Christian Dior,etc etc etc there was even Sephora!! (i felt like a kid let loose in a chocolate factory) .. i get little panick attacks everyday walking down the streets. Because of the massive sale, i picked up a Gucci handbag, Prada purse and a Chanel classic handbag (perhaps i might have over-rewarded myself =P ) .. and some makeups!!(more on that in the next post)





Apart from that, Rome was lovely.. scorching HOT as always. we went to the colosseo, the Vatican city and ..shopping as you might have guessed. Its definitely a place i will return to for shopping indeed!

im a happy camper (excuse the hair and the chubby face)

any of you been splurging/rewarding yourself recently??

ciao bellas! xx
