Feeling like a Princess for a day

I believe deep inside every girl lies a secret desire to be a princess.. Clothe in the prettiest dresses... Soaked in milk and honey.. Fed with strawberries dipped in chocolate...Feeling beautiful and pampered.. Yes.. I too have these fantasies of being a princess!!

Having my manicure and pedicure session at Nails de Beauty... In that few hours.. Indeed my princessy fantasies came true..

Butterflies.. What a welcoming sight for our fairytale journey

Come Travel with Me on a Nail Beauty Flight

When I think of a beauty parlour be it nails , spa or other beauty services, who would have thought you are pampered on a lovely travel itenary to your happy place and I have to say ( with other avid fans ) my happy place is just at Bangsar at Apronbay...

Ola Chica! Of polka dots and flowers.

Ola, chica!

A lot of you shopaholics will probably give this shopping mall a miss – how not to, with Sungai Wang, Lot 10 and Pavilion towering over it. What I’m talking about is Fahrenheit Shopping Mall.

Fahrenheit is pretty dead on a weekday, comparing to its neighbour Sungai Wang Shopping Mall. Partly because it's still new and not so known to shoppers (ooh..by the way, Uniqlo is also in Fahrenheit). What used to be the old shabby looking KL Plaza has now undergone a major plastic surgery and has emerged as a brighter, newer Fahrenheit.

So dearies, if you're in the area, and you're sick of shoving through the throngs of people just to move an inch to shop an inch further (psst..as you would in Sg. Wang), then just hop over to the less crowded Fahrenheit.

On the 3rd floor of the mall (I think(, there's a brightly lit shop called Ola.

Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City Shopping - Splash and Dash Two!

It was suppose to be Fat Princess Jojo's last post for Shopping in Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City.. But I couldn't resist! I had to share more Saigon delights to all you fashionistas out there! After all.. Saigon has a special place in my heart..

So if you're into a Japanese fashion, Mac Thi Buoi Street is your little Japan...[*pause.. a moment of silence to mourn for the disaster in Japan]

In this post I shall list a few shops that I've shopped at... although there are many more little unearth treasures on this street! Sadly... I only discovered this street shortly before I left Vietnam... 

Favourite Alert : Jane Norman UK, Let's Skip In

Sprinkle of fairy dust and all magical wonders , you get to be pampered with casual and corporate looks by this beautiful store. ( http://www.janenorman.co.uk/ )

If you believe in Magic, you can work the Bun Maker!

Here ye, here ye!

Hold your breath, say abracadabra! and lo &  behold! The Magic Hair Bun Maker shall unfold wonders in front of your very eyes.

So, if you’ve been following Miss Juicy’s posts and ‘heartings’, you’d have listened/read about me raving about this bun maker that produces something that’s non edible. And if you haven’t been doing so (which you really should!), this bun maker does exactly what it suggests – makes a bun, albeit a hair bun.

It’s a piece of black sponge-like, nail-file looking device that whips your hair up into a bun.
It comes in two sizes as shown in the pic below.

So you wanna splash the cash and dash outta Saigon.. these are a few options for you.. A little bit upmarket and may be pricey, but you can find some bargains in these stores too!

This store here sells a variety of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories.. a Japanese store selling Bohemian inspired items with their bright and happy colours.. Clothes here are a bit on the expensive side, but you can get decent bargains at the 2nd floor's discount corner. Sometimes the clothes are slashed by 50% which from USD50, you'll get it for a great discount at USD25.. even better when they run they buy one free one promotion I got a dress and a Skirt for USD25 =)

To London, to London We Go To Shop

I have been getting spammed with Air Asia and MAS deals of flying around the world particularly UK too and London still has to be one of the most best shopping havens around . Top three reasons : continuous breathless style, UNIQUE ( no one will be caught dead in your clothing or shoes or accessories ) and the fact that your purchases when asked where is it from, you can take a deep breath , smile wide and say " Oh , this ? it's from London.. " :)

Tropicana City Mall Bazaar : I came, I saw, but did not conquer.

This weekend bazaar has been beckoning me for eons. I’d heard the call, I heeded it, and here I am writing to you fashionistas/shopaholics about it.

A touch of nostalgia

Remember that time where us girls had to pick a pressie for a brother / boyfriend / guy pal, and the headache of trying to find something special for them? Electronics? - too expensive.. Socks? - too boring (and cheap).. Books? - getting desperate...

As mentioned in Miss Juicy's post previously we stumbled upon Pestle and Mortar at the recent chic pop market... It was a nice surprise to have among all the girly stuff a store selling guys t-shirts packed in pizza boxes!

Introducing Pestle and Mortar

What made me happy was that my shopping companion was able go find something for himself to keep him entertained for a bit while I get to browse on my own without feeling too guilty lol!


So what makes Pestle and Mortar stand out? It's their unusual prints which reminds us of good ol Malaysia thru our eyes...
