Shiny Fings from the Worship Blues Emporium

My stalking skills finally got me some shiny fings! 

I love Yasumi's penmanship. Look at that "A"! sooo kewl.

obviously packed with lots of love, it was such a treat opening my parcel.

my favorite part (aside from seeing the actual jewelry) was reading the care instructions, Yasumi is a really talented artist. I was laughing and smiling like a love-struck teen reading her note. I wont share it in here, you have to get one yourself! ^_~

extra love ;)

Presenting, my first pair of shiny fings from the Worship Blues Emporium!

"That Time Old Tale" necklace

"Truly, Madly, Glisten" earrings

They make me happy, I love them, and they are definitely going to my little box of gorgeousness.

Happy Monday everyone!

Soft Box Trial: Owls, Bears, Bows and Bangles

Hello lovelies! How's your week coming along? Mine started a little weak, as I got a bad case of tummy ache yesterday after I sipping a tall cup of coconut juice. Hahaha! It was so bad I couldn't work, it drained my energy. :( but I'm so much better now and back to blogging as you can see. :)

Last weekend, Lurvey and I took some test shots using the "soft box" he bought just for me. [aww I feel so special, lucky G! ♥.♥-] We used some accessories I recently bought as subjects.

First one, Owl earrings from Korea, I was lured by the pink eyes! ^(o.o)^

No, I did not go to Korea, just bought them from a korean seller. I love korean accessories! They are cute, unique and have superb quality, my ears don't get itchy at all when I wear them, which happens a lot with other fancy/costume jewelry.

Tous Bears, they're super cute when worn 'ω'

my forever infatuation with bows. ^_^

plus some coral/turquoise bangles from Hong Kong. They're very cheap but oh so pretty! (Hi Jess!) ;)

don't you just love the gorgeous, perky colors? Sooo so pretty, especially when layered.

OK enough of the word pretty. LOL. I love how the photos turned out, bright, crisp and very clear indeed! Next time I'm going to work and try to make my photos look seamless. Again, thank you Lurvey for the soft box! A loving bf addicted to photography has its perks! *BIGHUUUUUG*

Wishing you all a great week full of happiness! Stay gorge! (that includes you Rick! hahaha! ^_~)

♡,

G

Back From Sasa Land!

Hello everyone! Gosh, I missed blogger! I'm so sorry for leaving without posting a "will be back soon" post (I know Rick, June posts wont write themselves and thank goodness for that!) ^_~ I have been extremely busy with work and preparing stuff for the trip, plus a few errands here and there to finish before leaving. So there, I hope you still care for me and the blog! I'm back to regular blogging now. Yay! :)

As some of you might know, I've gone to Hong Kong with my family and Lurvey for a quick holiday, went to Disneyland of course (again) and enjoyed the waterworks parade this time. I dont have all the photos yet (Lurvey has them on his cam) so all I can share for now are haul shots I took with my Canon point and shoot camera.

Here's a sneak peek of my cosmetic haul. Yes, thats a small luggage full of stuff from Sasa, Bonjour, Facesss, City Super, Colourmix and other random places in Hong Kong. hahaha! Now that I'm part of the beauty blogging community, my cosmetic collection has gone from puny to growing more and more each day. :D It's just so fun! 

looking at this photo makes me miss HK already. >:)

ANYWAY,

I also got magazines. Even if I dont understand the text, I appreciate the photos very very much! 

here's ViVi and the Agnes B. S/S 2010 catalogue

Please don't hesitate to ask if you want scans :)

GWP Agnes B. tote with a cute heart charm/bracelet/pendant 

its so adorable! :)

got some shoes too!

Jelly bow shoes from a street seller in Haiphong Road, its so weird because I went back the next day to get another but the seller wasn't there anymore. :( Oh well. 

i got this for HKD69 (approx. USD9), some sellers here in Manila have these but the prices are unbelievable (around Php2,000 or USD43) because they put CHANEL labels (rip offs). Needless to say, this is a steal! :)

Bow sandals from a store in Granville Road, very very cute and fresh looking. I know, I'm crazy about bows! :)

got it for HKD150 (approx. USD20) not bad :)

and the last one, from Nike Silvercord, a pink/grey/white Women's Blazer Mid '09 ND:

the guy from the store told me that these come in different colors for every country, pink for Hong Kong! Nice. I don't know if thats true but if it is, thats very clever and fun to know. Random fact: I like grey and pink combinations. ;)

That's it for now! Cosmetics are up next along with some snapshots of me walking my stems off in HK! hahaha! My feet and legs are still aching, I need a swedish massage to relax the muscles! ;) As the sales associates in Hong kong would say (in a teeny tiny voice)...

Thank you buh-bye! ^_~
