This bag was gifted from my boyfriend for valentine's day. I've been using this bag for work as it is spacious and sturdy. As you can see from the above picture, I do bring tons of stuff which cause my bag to be heavy. Oh well, these are my essentials for work..
The Ella tote has been around for years and Tory Burch produced different patterns and materials of the bag. The most iconic piece would be the nylon material. It comes in 2 sizes, mini and large. I opted for the canvas bag as it looks unique and I have yet to see anyone carry it in SG. The leather handles of the bag sits well on my shoulder without falling off. The size of my bag is H:32cm, W: 44cm, D: 11cm. It has 3 big pockets, one on the outside and two on the inside. It definitely fits A4 size document. I would skip the details of what I carry inside my bag as it is always the same old things.
Hello all, today I'm sharing with you what's in my Prada bag and how I turned this Prada cosmetic bag into a bucket bag. I was watching Youtube and chanced upon this korean video whereby a lady did a reform of this Prada cosmetic bag. I fell in love with it and I decided to make one on my own. So I purchased the cosmetic bag from one of the seller from Reebonz Closet. Jaryl found the round carabiner for me on Carousell. I bought the strap from Shopee. You can make do with or without a bag organizer. But I bought it as I want the bag to maintain it's shape. It's really difficult to find a bag organizer for this Prada bag model. But I managed to find one from a Korean Etsy seller. Viola ~ Now you can make your own Prada bucket bag! Links will be provided at the bottom.
So my endoscopy girls asked me to join the standard chartered marathon race on the 1st of December. Thankfully, its only 5KM. If it is the 10KM, I would have died as I did not trained much for it. Had only few hrs of sleep the night before, it was a terrible mistake of mine. But I've managed to pull through for this race! I'm so proud of ourselves. Dumb me forget to stretch my legs and I experienced bad ache for 3 days on my groin area. I still went window shopping at IMM with Jaryl after my race and I regret like hell.. But its all good now.

August was my birthday month and I made so many purchases. I've been eyeing for the LV pochette for quite some time. I've went to the LV store at Takashimaya and Ion with Claire but the LV sales associates said that they have stop bringing in this model. I was so disappointed but I found it off carousell and I immediately copped it at a good deal. As this bag is a vintage piece, the bag strap is attached to the zipper instead of the D-ring at the side of the bag. But nevertheless, I still love this piece. I have gotten a simple black bag from H&M for everyday use.
Few weeks back, Sephora was having a 20% sales for black and gold card members. I was roaming around Ion at that point of time and decided to get a new face moisturizer for myself but ended up getting much more than I needed. I love the Tatcha face moisturizer. Its watery but not oily on my skin. For the price point, it's bloody expensive. The olaplex bond smoother coupled it up with the cutesy hello kitty tangle teezer makes my hair soft and tame. I gotten myself a new face powder from Tarte because the milani matte face powder makes my face oily. I'm not sure if its because of the base products I used on my face or the Milani face powder is not suitable for my skin?
Thats all of my fave products of August and September! Till then..
Happy 25th birthday to myself! Wishing myself to be healthy and happy all year round! How time flies and I realised that my last blog post was in May. There were so many things that happened to me during these span of three months. I did went through a heartbreaking season. It was difficult for me to accept it considering the fact that I was supposed to meet my other half's family and I was with my ex for two years plus. Those who know me knew that I had commitment issues. I'm that kind of person who falls deeply in love and falls out of love easily too. However, I met this new guy recently and he have been treating me really nice. Its too early to say anything but I do wish that this love would blossom. Next month is gonna be a great month because Jasmine is gonna graduate from her nursing degree! Not only that, I've gotten a full time job and I'm really excited and nervous for it. My boss wife told me that the first three months is gonna be hell for me. But I should learn to step out of my comfort zone and embrace whatever that is gonna present to me in the future.

Today, I'm gonna blog about my April favourites ranging from my new Prada tote bag to beauty products that I'm in love with. First of all, I bought my Prada tote bag from Reebonz. Its a pre-loved bag but its in pristine condition. I had about 250 credits in my account and it would expire in July if I'm not gonna utilise it. Reebonz is having a mother's day sale thus the bag was reduced by 20%. So I gotten the bag at a reasonable price. The only flaw the bag have is that it has a pen mark on the inner compartment of the pocket. Otherwise, I cant tell that the previous owner really use the bag, considering its a 2015 model. Hyung also said that the bag reminds him of Christian Louboutin because the inner compartment of the bag is red while the outer layer is black. Onto my beauty products, I've tried out the body shop seaweed toner. The scent of it smells like fresh water which I really like. It suits people with oily skin type. I swatched the wet&wild lipstick on my hand before buying it, but it doesnt look good on my lips sadly. Also, it get rubbed off easily when I take a drink. Among the essence products I bought, I love the clear brow gel and mascara. The mascara was highly recommended by Tivya so I decided to try it out. It cost less than $10 and it works well as compared to Too-faced mascara. Catrice nail polish are affordable and long lasting too. Tried and tested when I'm using my paw patrol sanitizer at work everyday. My colleague Juliana introduced me this Tarte H2O moisturizer. I love the texture of it. It's a gel based moisturizer which does not make my face oily. It is quite pricey, but I bought it during sephora sale. As compared to my clinique moisturizer, I prefer tarte over it. Thankfully it is public holiday today, I could run my errands and pack my clothes in the wardrobe. Ciao!
I have been putting Gen Neo's music on replay while I'm doing my law assignment. His music is so good but he is so underrated. Just found out that he is a singaporean and he used to study in Berklee college of music. That explains why I liked his music genre.
Finally the weekend is here! I can get to chill awhile before I start on my next assignment which is law. I'm so glad that 2 out of 3 assignments are done for this month. Also, I totally nailed my solo presentation. I did not expect to get a distinction. Woots ~ Met up with Jo last evening before he heads off to UK next month to work. Felt so sad as if I lose an older brother. ): But all in all, one have to keep striving for the best and the good memories are well remembered. (:
