It's a funny way, to make ends meet

It seems the haul just won't stop. I finally got the Triwa watch i've been drooling all over the place!
The story started with my previous post saying that the sales associate at Lane Crawford told me
they just sold the last piece of the Triwa Nevil Raven Black at their branch, ended when the boyfriend 
called and say he spot it sitting at a different Lane Crawford, with 30% off. Life is good. So now I am 
wearing my trusty watch and the 'Peridot' nail varnish by Chanel, which has been my staple nail polish
whenever i feel like im wearing too plain.
(i.e. waken up too late in morning & too sleepy to pick a outfit kind of all-black-im-boring-outfit.) 
and again, when you have a color like Peridot you'd need an everyday color to cover the days
you're not wearing it, hence i got 'Jade Rose'. I have to guarantee you if you are asian, 
without the gorgeous olive/ pale skintone, YOU NEED TO HAVE JADE ROSE IN YOUR COLLECTION,
it isn't as chic/ eye-catching as Peridot but it just makes my hand looks soooo pretty & clean.
I have always been a fan of OPI/Essie nail polishes and find it unnecessary to collect Chanel nail varnishes
considering it's 3 times more expensive and OPI/Essie are just as good in quality.
But im now all on board and smitten... i still want the 'Dragon' but i know i need to stop, 
not when we are about to move to a new apartment in just a few months. 
By the way if you have the less 'asian' skintone i've just said, 'Innattendu' is another must-have option.
 I went for 'Jade Rose' because 'Innattendu' is more on the beige side and
 it really picks up on the yellowness on my skin.

“Odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will.
 The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs,
 it fills us up, imbues us totally. 
There is no remedy for it.”

DIPTYQUE Eau De Toilette "L'Ombre Dans L'Eau"
BEIGE - Les Exclusifs de CHANEL - CHANEL Perfumes
Maison Martin Margiela Untitled



if there's anything i considered myself to be obsessed about (vanity-wise only, otherwise i can go on and on with my macaron/ tea/ anything eatable) that would be perfume. i feel naked without perfume.
Before the three perfume here i finished four bottles of Chanel Chance, now on the rainy/ summery days i like to use my Maison Martin Margiela perfume, which smells exactly just like grasses in rain but a better version. and the Diptyque L'Ombre Dans L'Eau i just love smelling it no matter when, and whenever i like to make the day/night feels like a special one i mist myself with the Chanel Beige. I miss the time when i sniffed every bottle of perfume trying to find the one he's using,  finally found out i was completely wrong and had a giggle.

new year wishlist

new year wishlist


On the first night of new year we ran out to Lane Crawford (i used the word RAN as in we head out at 8:15pm when Lane Crawford closes at 9pm sharp.) to find out the Triwa Nevil Black Raven watch was completely sold out because sweet LC decided to put it on sale after Christmas. THE FIRST TIME EVER I HATED SALE. I was so devastated and almost got the Givenchy pandora bag, (after the boyfriend's total despise with the Proenza Schouler PS1 and i realized it's indeed $6000 more than the Pandora). After some therapeutic maracon at Paul Lafayet i'll try ordering the Triwa watch online, and as for the Pandora... sweetie if im going to give up everything else here i'll take you home. you have my words, if im ever going to.

Triwa

 


Still struggling between these two Triwa watches as my christmas gift from the boyfriend, usually it is a no brainer for me to go for black but in the past year i am getting a little bit repulsive about having so many things in black. for clothing now i mostly go with grey but with watches & shoes i just don't know.. i actually like my 'comfort zone' better, after all it will be on my wrist everyday.
Have you been to this too shall pass' shop on Etsy yet?
( okay it was me being a completely HTML dummy 'bragging' on the add ons)

navajo



 I figured these navajo printed jeans by Isabel Marant could really spice up the boring winter wardrobe, 
so this baby in black is on it's way to mama now.
 now i just need the most basic yet perfect top to go with them... 
perfect timing to raid the boyfriend's Alexander Wang closet.
