Most effective moisturizer I’ve used. It was actually prescribed for Jul by his PD. It really leaves your skin moist and soft immediately without any greasy feeling.

The Internet is a dangerous place, especially if you are holding your credit card in your left hand and the mouse in the right one. This is what happen when you get click happy. To justify, these are second hand/vintage items which I purchased over a period of 6 mths which probably cost a fraction of the original prices so.. I did not burn a hole in my pocket. Hey, I am doing my part to recycle and reuse too, ya know! Am I trying too hard?
Love the quilting detail and chain shoulder straps.
Supple tan belt that goes with everything.
Red to spice up any outfit.
Every wardrobe needs a black belt..
Or two.
It had the most unique buckle, I couldn’t let it go.
My most recent purchase deserves two shots. Most charming.
Where did I get all these? Etsy

That’s me. The thrifty housewife. Now that I’m officially unemployed, we need to stretch the dollar. It’s a good thing I’ve never been brand conscious and don’t really mind second-hand items. I got this cardi at a flea market outside Tanglin Shopping Mall for $1. YES. $1. It was almost brand new; I don’t think the previous owner wore it even once! It was that new! There was only a small patch of mildew stain which Vanish took care of. I like flea markets.
Harem pants

I’ve made it a point not to purchase clothes which are not on sale. Wait…. just a .. minute. Faux pas: double negatives. Correction: I’ve made it a point to buy clothes only when they are on sale, (unless they dirt cheap and the shop is not likely to give them away for free).
I refuse to throw good money on expensive clothes, shoes, bags, blah blah blah. It just doesn’t make sense to me. I much rather spend my money on food and holidays. What kind of life experience can a $3000 Gucci bag give you? Besides, I think it’s more satisfying when you look good for less. I’ve seen someone decked out in Burberry ( the classic brown tartan print) from head to toe , and had matching brolly and hat. Can you imagine? Verdict: Money cannot buy you style. I strongly believe you can look good without having to spend a whole lot of money if you are wise.
There’s nothing happier than scoring a good bargain! Let me show you what i bought! Okay…. It’s a little passé .. Harem pants are so 2009 but hey it was on 40% discount and cost only $33! This is the only pair I’ve tried on that hides my butt and is a dream to wear. It’s not stretchy but the material is a soft cotton that feels so comfy on my skin!

Found some lovely hairbands at Daiso. They are only $2 each! The dusty pink one is sOooo adorable! Definitely look more expensive than they are.
