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!

High heels are pleasure with PAIN?

Well that's what Mr. Louboutin said. I have few pairs myself and it's funny how I always expect myself to be in pain when I bought his shoes. I just knew it's going to be stiff and hard to walk on. I'm going to get slight blisters and squished toes for the first few wears. Unlike others, I won't go beyond 110mm. Not even 120mm.
So anyway, I decided to get a new work shoes, in classic black patent and I chose Decollete. They are beautiful shoes for sure, and I just got them back from being resoled in red and the owner of the shop told me, the shoes are just so pretty..hehe of course I believed him! But yeah my toes are being molded to this narrow corner...uurgh it's definitely painful! Oh well....I kept telling myself it will get better. Hopefully by this weekend if I keep wearing them.

I have Nude Piou Piou coming later this afternoon too, so stay tuned :-)

I DO love my Louboutin even if I have to suffer ;-)

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.

ODJ: I'm wearing top from Madewell, Cartier bracelets, Chanel J12 and the boys' outfits are from Baby Gap, Country Road and Keen little shoes.

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.

Training Week

We are having some training today and tomorrow in the office. I'm not involved in any way but that means I can't do casual on these 2 days. I was thinking of wearing my Jason Wu for Target dress, but the rain hasn't stopped this morning so I couldn't be bothered. I ended up wearing almost all black but I'm pretty pleased :-)

Oversize

I like everything oversize lately and I tried this jacket from J.Crew and I LOVE it! I deliberately size up because I like the oversize look so I can wear my legging/boots/heels. Even better it was on sale too- so just perfect. Sorry for the crappy phone pictures :-)

ODJ: Skinny jeans from AEO, Patent heels from Wittner, Green turtleneck from Gap, J12 38mm from Chanel and glimpse of Balenciaga Day in Rouille.

Day Out in the Sunshine

Me and my mom took the boys to the Domain recently for some sunshine. See I can only put up with weather in the 90s as you would have known by now. It was wonderful that day. Did a little bit of shopping and no fussiness coming from the little pumpkins.

xoxo

ODJ: Crop Cardigan from Review (Australian brand), Grey top (no brand), Nobody Skinny Jeans, Chanel J12 38mm and a hint of my Royal Blue WOC from Chanel.

Then There is Pandora..

Ever since I got the brown Prada, she became one my favorite. Especially now that I have 2 boys, the extra shoulder strap for me to use crossbody really come handy. While I'm in the process of culling more bags that I have, I just had to have another cute tote that I can use as a messenger bag. So I have decided to get the large Givenchy Pandora. It's not everyone' cup of tea and the style does look funky with only one handle. But I love it either way. It's spacious and not heavy at all, just perfect for me and not to mention Reese looks awesome carrying one ;-)

ODJ: You can't really see my outfits but I'm wearing Top from F21,Cardigan from Ralph Lauren and my loyal Chanel J12.
