Markets @ Jaya One

Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit yet another installation of Markets @ Jaya One. I've been wanting to go to this one because I wanted to get my hands on some of the goodies that were being given out. Thank my lucky stars that the freebie booths were already open even though we reached about 30 minutes earlier than the official starting time.

First stop was the Markets booth to redeem a free Topshop tote bag and I headed straight to Tongue in Chic's booth next because I wanted these supercool DIY tote bags... and the Bobbi Brown loose powder that they were giving out.

No hands got dirty in the making of this tote bag. If you've seen my earlier post, you would've guessed which one I went with. I was told that I was the first person of the day to go for Proenza Shoulder. Guess Malaysians didn't really quite get that. The two Ah Lians who queued in front of me didn't know what Can't Clutch This meant but they chose that anyway. And one of them stamped it upside down. Go figure.

Tadaaahhhh!!! Opps, I look as if I have no pants on. Hold on a sec...

Here you go. Much more decent and family-friendly.

Can you believe I went to a shopping event and ended up only buying one of the tags above and three cupcakes? Yes exactly, WTF?!

By the way, they only look good. They were more like muffins than cupcakes. Meh.

Sneak peek

A sneak peek of what I was up to last weekend!

Abby's birthday

It's my darling Datin Abby's birthday today and I'm so happy that we got to spend some time together, catching up on our girly talk over brunch. We initially had the idea to meet at Publika and I've been wanting to go check out the place after 9 out of 10 people I know who have been there gave me rave reviews. But then I remembered the very reason why we could catch up today was because it's a public holiday for the installation of the King and it would be the dumbest idea to head down to where the new palace is O.o

So we decided to meet at this Italian place called Casa del Cocco at Taman Danau Desa. I found this place with Mr Bun the other day, after realizing that a Korean place that we never tried before but wanted to, has already closed down. I usually shun places that has a limited menu but I actually like this place because the food's kinda great and the prices are super affordable. Not that I keep tab on the price of every dish, but both my visits thus far has not gone over RM60. My first visit with Mr Bun had two mains and a pizza, and today we had three girls with a main course and drink each, plus a pizza. How can you not love that?!

Check out the logs behind me. They're for the pizza oven. This place has a huge oven that takes up almost 1/3 of the open kitchen.

My pork herbs burger. My only gripe was that the buns were actually panini bread and they were kinda too hard to get away with being called a burger.

The birthday girl with her pork chop, which she deemed 'too porky'. Don't ask me.

Elvina decided to join us after waking up from her long, deep beauty sleep.

Her garlic pasta. It's not too big of a portion, I feel it's just nice. But this woman got hungry after just over an hour and wolfed down a slice of cake when she got home. She complained that the pasta portion was too small. I think she just has a case of the worms in her stomach because she had two slices of pizza to go with the pasta.

Our mushroom pizza. T'was nice. I love their thin and crunchy crust. I had the porky pizza with Mr Bun the other time and that was good too. They have a couple of dessert pizzas on the menu but I don't think I'll be brave enough to try those. 

I bought Abby some macaroons and it totally made her day. It's nice to see how friends appreciate and get excited over little things you do.

This is how they looked like when I got them home from The Gardens Mall yesterday. I took out Delectable's ribbons and replaced them with cute ribbons with 'Happy Birthday' printed on them <3

Trust me when I tell you she wasn't faking it. This woman had a massive sugar rush by just looking at them huge macaroons. I don't know what happened after she went home to her boyfriend lol.

Happy birthday Datin Abby!! Aren't you honoured that your birthday this year is declared as a public holiday and it's also an earth-shattering occasion? I came home after our brunch to an endless stream of tsunami and earthquake updates and it's hard not to get worried about what's going to happen to the affected areas. I guess we'll have to stay tuned for these couple of days. I remember it rained almost close to 24 hours back when the tsunami hit Japan. It was strangely sunny and warm today even though it's happening closer to home in Indonesia.

I was wearing a brand new mullet dress that I picked up at Cotton On while I was out getting Abby's macaroons. I couldn't help it!!!! Oh, please don't tell Mr Bun that I've been a naughty girl, out shopping when he's away ;)

Splattered all over

I've been feeling rather lazy uninspired lately, but I got a bit of my groove back today and hence the outfit post. I'm also thankful for the sun to stay shining after I got home to snap these few shots.

Wearing my awesome Jusco-found pants. At first I was trying to evade obnoxious relatives after I spotted them in the store. So I had to wander around another section and as fate would have it, these pair of pants called out to me while I was mindlessly flipping through clothing racks, waiting for annoying relatives to get out. I couldn't resist the temptation. They also look kinda like Diane von Furstenberg's paint effect skinny jeans. But mine aren't jeans. They're just really tight pants that put me at the risk of flashing my butt cheeks to the world if I'm not careful.

Here are my Chloe-esque ballet flats. Chloe released their designer version for their S/S 2011 collection, so that's about two years ago. These were also accidental finds. Life is good sometimes.

What else would go with the whole outfit but my baby on my wrist? I love it to bits but I cannot stop wondering where those mysterious stains on the strap come from (you can't see from this photo). I might suspect fake tan but I'm not a starlet from Hollywood so that's one suspect down.

Out of this world

Anxiously waiting for this maxi skirt with an amazing galaxy print to be packed off into the mail and delivered to me next week. The skirt pictured above is the closest I can find of my purchase. I can't believe I finally found it here at a reasonable price after drooling at the images all over the Internet. So glad I'm not crazy enough to order from this China website that I found earlier. Phew!

Almost famous

This is what I wore to Chic POP Street Market a couple of weekends ago. Aside from running into a girl who wore similar pants *rolls eyes*, everything was fab because I got photographed *here* and *here*. Hey, I'm not pissed off that I bumped into someone who wore similar pants, but I was offended that she kept hovering beside me while I was trying on a pair of shoes and the fact that I arrived at the stall first. I even overheard her telling her friend about some "no-no in fashion". You can very well go eff yourself, honey.

I was told by the photojournalist from Style Snaps that I was due for a prize but I haven't heard from them till today. Wonder what happened?

A Wishful Valley

A close friend of mine has just introduced me to her latest venture, an online shop which is more than just an average blogshop. She built the website on a foundation of love for design and fashion, creating a hub for design lovers, fashionistas, trendsetters and creative minds. She is a very talented Art Director and it's not surprising that the items she brought in are very extremely chic and unique. Her website is www.wishvalley.blogspot.com.

Since Christmas is just around the corner, I thought I'd make it convenient for those who have yet to shop for their loved ones and themselves by making this list from the items that I've been drooling over from www.wishvalley.blogspot.com.

'Tis the season to pamper yourself


















Capture attention at any Christmas party with a shiny statement necklace.




































Gorgeous Christmas party dress with a classy amount of sparkles. Check out the sexy back!














What a gorgeous clutch to keep all your belongings while you mingle around during a Christmas party!














I personally am in love with the zebra-print clutch. I heard from my friend that she has this in severely limited quantity. Oh snap! Better hurry to get me hands on them before it's too late.














This ring will bring some Christmas cheer to my dainty fingers



















Bring some bling to accessorise your hair, which you might spend hours on before you head out to a Christmas party.


Spoil your loved ones













So iPhone4 is all the rage right now. If you know someone who owns an iPhone4, why not get them this Christmas-appropriate casing?



















This glow-in-the-dark lightbulb looks so amazing. I personally have not seen it glow in the dark before, so why don't you find out and let me know?































The animal sharperner and hand towels are perfect gifts for young ones and even those who are young at heart. How cute do they look?? There are few other animal options available for both.

























I don't wear prescriptions so I don't need these lens cases. But I think they're super adorable as gifts.


Random but worthy to mention













Every 'it' couple should be parading around town carrying these cute bags. I think they're perfect for Valentine's Day though... which actually is not too far away.














This cute skirt has to be my favourite item of the bunch. Don't worry about flashing your lady bits. There's a nude layer underneath :)

I had so much fun browsing through www.wishvalley.blogspot.com. Go check it out and join their Facebook page. I'm sure you'll find something you like.

The Meat Dress

The lady has done it again. I wonder how she keeps upstaging her own antics. How is she going to top this? The Internet is exploding with images of the raw meat dress that Lady Gaga wore to the recent MTV Music Awards, and then again to a taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. As gruesome as it looks, I actually think there is a high level of workmanship being put into the meat dress. Well, except the ass part. I guess it doesn't really matter since Lady Gaga doesn't fancy covering up her bits anyways. Feast your eyes on the pictures and you be the one to judge (pun intended).
