i: Shopping Challenge with R

I don't know how our goal to save up led to shopping but somehow it did so here are my SM finds:



IN 2 IT lipstick in Pink Alarm:

If the sales lady said that R would look like Anne Curtis after two coats of her nude lipstick, I assumed I'd look like the sales lady after 2 coats of this pink one, as she was wearing the same shade. Haha! 

 I didn't want to buy the lipstick first since I promised I'd only spend 200 bucks (maximum) for a pink lipstick. After much pressuring from R, I caved and bought the damn thing for 375, I think. Whatever happened to cheap make up in SM??? I went over budget with this one. I still firmly believe that the lipstick was expensive because of they put "diamonds" on it. Haha. 

 Ms. Couture navy blue romper:

The main reason why I bought this was because I fit in a size S. Woohoo!

It took about two rounds in SM, one round in Building A, and a limping, high-heeled R,  before I decided that the romper was worth buying. for 1,200 bucks I still don't have any regrets. Mainly because I haven't used it. We'll see.

Parisian Flora Wedges: 

This is the girliest pair of shoes that I own. Seriously.

Initially, I was aiming for navy blue shoes but I couldn't find any that I liked so good thing we saw these because they were really cute. Buying this would mean exceeding the 2000 peso budget but oh well. I could just blame it on the lipstick tomorrow.

So that's that. R and I have another adventure coming up on Saturday... Til then.

Christmas Earnings Part 2

I got all excited reading i's blog about our Christmas splurge. Last year we did all sorts of things to make extra money and we did agree that this year, whatever extra we earn from our extra curricular activities, we would splurge on ourselves. I was already dead set on buying my Michael Kors bag since I was being realistic. How can I possibly earn enough extra money to buy... a birkin let's say, when we don't even bother to move our butts to earn anything? So I said, an MK bag is at least a realistic goal. But, seeing i change her mind over, and over (and over!) again on what she wants to get for herself, made me doubt what it was I really wanted. So now, I have just spent an hour browsing the net looking for something I want for myself. And damn you i, now I'm all confused!!!

 Marc Jacobs bag - looks all cool and functional
