Monday Monday

Yawnnn...I couldn't sleep last night. Just one of those nights when all I did just toss and turn. It went on till 1AM and I was so congested real bad. I finally took my night time sleeping med Nyquil and woke up angry at 5AM. Sigh....

So please mind my tired face, it's going to be a very LONG day.

All Jeweled up!

I have to tell you that I'm not a sneaker person. I brought my beloved and battered Nike all the way from Sydney when I moved here almost 6 years ago now. Then that one died when I was heavily pregnant with my twins so I had to buy another so I can survive the last few weeks of the pregnancy carrying almost 12 lbs babies.

My heart flutters when I saw these Miu Miu sneakers when I was in Vegas over Xmas. I didn't buy them of course and I ended up buying the blue purse instead. I kept telling myself I'm not a sneaker person so don't go crazy over something that it's not...cheap. A month later I still had those darlings dancing in my head. I went through my wardrobe to see if I can somewhat pull this off without actually wearing track pants and oversize tee.

Then over the weekend I got an email from NM offering gift card if purchasing online. There, I said it. I'm a sucker for gift card and I don't really care for double points event. Just do the math. If you spend $500 with double points, that is 1000 pts and you are still 9000 pts away from getting the $100. So why bother? Why not spend that same amount and get $100 instantly.

OK, the point was I bought the darn sneaker. I bought it without knowing what size I should get. Depending on the style, I can wear 39, 39.5 and 40 in Miu Miu. That's consistency for you lol. I selected 39 as it sounded like a good number at the time.

Fast forward to today, I'm happy to report that 39 was my perfect number. It fits perfectly and gosh I'm in love. I won't be using them for marathon anytime soon though ;-)

Little Hearts goes along the way...

Initially I wanted to buy that J Crew heart breaker sweater that was on sale. My sister bought one in grey when she was in NYC and I want the purple. Of course I waited too long, by the time I decided that I need to have it, my size is no longer available for the purple.

Then the day before my sister left we went to the Domain and I found this at Madewell and bought it right away :D

All these little hearts are making me happy! and it reminded me of my little sister. Miss YOU!

Last days of 2012

I'm not staying up to welcome new year so I would like to wish you a happy new year now. It's been nice to know 2012, it's been interesting and it's been too fast at times. But overall we are doing good this year.

I've been enjoying having my little sister and her hubby here. I really don't want them to go (in 2 weeks) :-(
Oh well...it looks like we are visiting soon, not sure when yet but definitely soon!

July already?

Wow I've been non-existent this past month! Heck I didn't even know where I've been. Nothing much in terms of shopping, guess I've been busy with the kiddos and work.
Anyway I just wanted to stop by and say Hi cause I know it has been a while. June we had birthday parties to attend then we went to Houston during 4th of July and we had fun. Much better family trip than during Xmas last year.

Post Mother Day's Shopping

I hope you had a great Mother's Day celebration yesterday. It was my second Mother's day and instead of presents, I asked my DH to let me go shopping on my own, yes alone, without kids!

I stopped by at NM hoping to see something I like from their current sale, but unfortunately nothing (and it's probably a good thing for my wallet).
I bought a couple of things from Madewell, J. Crew, Zara and Anthropologie so over the next week I will wear the new items, take pics and post it on my blog.

Today I'm wearing one of the item that I bought. I was looking for black pants that can go casual and dressy at the same time. When I saw this online at Anthropologie.com, I did not see the appeal at all. When I saw it in person, again, I wasn't too impressed but I picked up my size anyway and headed to the fitting rooms. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this on. Not only it is the type of pants that I'm looking for (pleated and pull on type), the material is light and fully lined, perfect for all seasons. The pants goes well with heels, flats, cute blazers, flowy tops even business shirt. Too bad it's not on sale haha, but I'm buying whether it's on sale or not ;-)

San Antonio Zoo Trip 2012

We took the boys to San Antonio Zoo on Saturday to celebrate them being 15 months old. The boys had fun and the weather was absolutely gorgeous!

On Sunday we had pizza and just hang around at home. The boys wearing their t-shirt that we bought at the zoo as souvenirs! I need more weekend like this pleaseeee :-)

Moved!

Our office finally moved to this new location up North last week and I was so happy! Not only the new location will cut my traveling time to half (I'm about 15-20 mins away from home now compares to 45 mins), I'm about 5 minutes away from the boys' montessori and oooh 3 minutes away from NM haha.
Picking them up every afternoon is now a breeze and I don't get grumpy on the road. The office is brand spanking new with full size mirror in the women bathroom (I don't know about you, but that's important for me), trails at the back, huge kitchen with cafetaria style, personalized lockers (mine contains foods HAHA) and so on.

Anyway, I couldn't take pictures properly in front of the full size mirror. I don't know..I think the lighting angles kinda wrong. Oh well..I will keep practicing.

These were from Thursday/Friday last week :-)

Happy Easter 2012

I hope you have a great Easter so far with your families. We've been pretty outdoorsy the whole weekend as we took the boys to the Easter Extravaganza yesterday at the Riverbend Church and we went for brunch today and stopped by at the Old Settlers Park for some bluebonnet pictures (my first time ever too since I moved to Austin in 2007!). Anyway, it was nice day and great way to burn some cals from the brunch hehe.
