Happiness

I came across a meaningful paragraph somewhere and literally saved it in Textedit on my family's imac.

Life on earth has evolved in such a way that people forgets the true meaning of happiness. We work, sleep, eat, breathe, buy, spend, save for the things we want, for children's future and so forth.

You may wish to read through it over a few times and ponder over it. And perhaps enlighten a few people out there.

What you really want is happiness. You might believe that a fat bank account will get you there, but that's false. Happy people are happy rich or poor, unhappy people are unhappy rich or poor. Money simply masks your real being by giving you activities to occupy your mind. Don't fool yourself, recession or not, your true wealth comes from your heart and is always only there.

What i've purchased this week (pictures credit to respective blogshops):

Hollyhoque - Crochet Trim Flora Bustier Tube Top (Blue)



MDS - Posh Penelope Skirt (Pink) & Granny's Vintage Tuck Belt (Peach)
Got both items at a discounted price! Totally worth it! Love the fit of the skirt and best of all, it doesnt flare out at the hips. So it doesnt make me look fat either. Pretty shade of pink & good quality too. Comes with inner lining and stretchable band around waist.



My last set of long weekend before new job start. Wish me luck!

At the mean time, have a bloody awesome week ahead! =)

My weekend special

All pictures are properties of jasyca.blogspot.com unless otherwise stated

Had an exciting week attending BBQ gathering with Mr A's team on Monday night and wedding dinner on Tuesday night. Came home really exhausted by the end of my long weekend.

What i wore to the BBQ gathering:



Catwalkclose - Floral Sweetheart top in Cream
love,bonito - Kitsch Paper shorts in Taupe
Mini Bits - Gold Bangle

Mr A, his sister & I attended a wedding dinner yesterday and it was held at Concorde Hotel. Food wise was not-so-fantastic, but i do like the dessert, Yam Paste.



And our outfits to the wedding dinner:



Little Black Dress - asos.com
Red Suede heels - Geox
Flower Corsage - Love,bonito
Accessories - Chomel & Diva

Li Ming's dress was from Bonitochico and Mary Jane heels from Newlook.



Mr A couldnt stop playing games on his iphone the whole day. During lunch break..



And even throughout the wedding dinner! *faint*





Check out the chinese character nicely sewed and the "kaleidoscope"cufflinks.





Definitely a tiring but pretty satisfying night with Mr A & Li Ming. =)

What i got for myself last week (pictures credit to respective blogshops):

MDS - Bows-A-Mania Top in Pink



Hollyhoque - Embroidery Chino Sleeveless Top (Sky) & Origami Pleats Chiffon Top (Rose)



ATL - Olivia's Tailored Fitted Shirt (Denim Blue) (Sz XS), Olivia's Tailored Ankle Pants (Black) (Sz S) & Pan Collared Blouson (Tiffany Green)


First time purchasing from ATL & i'm loving all my loots!

Fitted Shirt: Slim fit cut hugs the curve at the right place, outlining my silhouette. Material is excellent, boutique equivalent! To be honest, ATL's quality is way far better than LB's Covet Strong shoulder work top and cheaper too! Slightly padded on shoulder which makes my square-ish shoulder even more broad. But overall, it's worth every penny! =)

Pants: My favourite of all my ATL's Loots! Boutique equivalent! Material is thick and has an awesome cutting, as if it's tailored made. The pants has very light white stripes. Sz S fits me just right.



Catwalkclose - Oversized Boyfriend shirt (White)


Material is rather thin and it sure looks like a guy's shirt. Loves the pocket at chest and the design on the shoulder.



Have a good week ahead! =)

Food for the Souls

Yummy, eh? So if your company is looking to cater something different, do try Spice Village. You may contact Jean (pronounce as John) Luc Prevost at jeanluc@spicevillage.com.sg. =)

What i bought this week (picture credit to Forever 21):

Forever 21 - Wild Things Top (Sz S)
Joined a spree organised by Valericious. She often organised F21 sprees and the feedbacks from her customers are all positive.

Have a great weekend ahead while i enjoy my long weekend! ;)

Picture with thousand words

Heads up: I enjoyed my weekend with Mr A. Followed him to work on Monday allowed me to better understand the nature of his job. At least now i know in which area i can help him and i learnt something new too.

A good friend of mine, took the above picture while he was on a volunteering trip to Laos. I love this picture so much, it holds alot of meaning and allows me to reminiscence about the days when i was just a little kid. Simple things make a child happy, so easily satisfied. The kid above was thrilled by what my friend has drawn on his hand. Apparently, he got really angry & upset when he realised the drawing was disfigured after he got into a fight. And he returned to my friend and asked him to redraw it on both his hands. =) Simple gesture goes a long way to make children happy.

What i've purchased lately (pictures credit to respective blogshops):

Foggiare - Twirly Swirly Wedges (Pink) (Sz 39)
Went shopping at Nex and bought this wedges on impulse. Expensive for a pair of wedges. Made of soft suede material, heels height isnt as high/bulky as LB's. Colour is really pretty too. In my opinion, it still doesnt worth the amount paid although it was manufactured in Korea.



Lovebonito - Arch Ravish Heels (Nude Pink) & Vandyke High Collar Blouson (Champagne)
Have the white piece for Vandyke High collar top & received many compliments. You may refer here & here for my review on the white piece.



Hollyhoque - Scallop Trim Lace Dress (Black) (Sz M)
HH launched on Monday, Paid for my dress on Tuesday, received it on Tuesday night via Courier Service. It's so fast! I like it! Materials used on the dress is really soft, however it's really thin. Although it's black & fully lined, i can still see the outline of my thighs under the light. Comes with side zip and only slightly stretchable at waist. Loves the V Back cut,but no worries, normal brassiere can be worn. I stand at 166cm and find it too short for work. I've a square-ish shoulder and the dress emphasizes it. Thus, if you have broad shoulder you may want to take note that this dress is going to highlight it and make your shoulder looks broader.



Did too much shopping lately. Very satisfying but sinful. Glad i found Heatwave Peep toe heels in nude & Megagamie Denim Bustier Dress in White after a long search. =)

A special request was made by a reader, Winnie, to take pictures of my Heatwave heels. So here it is:







Can't wait for my long weekend this week! Have a blessed weekahead!

Flea Away

Heads up: Dropped by First Day & bought Megagamie Denim Bustier Dress in Dark Denim (yet to be released). Loves, Loves the fit & cut! Hope i can get hold of the same dress in White Denim.

All pictures are properties of jasyca.blogspot.com unless otherwise stated

My first experience participating in a flea market. Didnt know there were so much stuff to bring and efforts to be put in. Wore Hollyhoque Boyfriend shirt on that day:



It looks like i am running away from home with all the bags, rack & chairs that i've brought to the flea. Thank goodness my dad made 2 trips down to TAB to help my bestie & I set up & dismantle the racks.





Bestie & my booth. We took the space right infront of the escalator! =)



Bestie HL was so slow putting up her clothes. She has so much to sell...goodness~





Vola! My booth! Psst, the straw bag (from taiwan) is now sold at Prettyfit! Can you imagine how much Prettyfit can earn from selling one such bag?



In my opinion, TAB wasnt a good place to host a flea market. It was situated a distance away from the busy crowded orchard. The traffic was rather slow and there's this particular company selling mac & elf cosmetics at 1st level. Stealing so much of our businesses at 2nd floor.

A major disappointment for my first experience but an awesome lesson learnt. Anywhere - scape, homeclub,st james,etc but TAB.

And what i've purchased last & up to midweek (pictures credit to respective blogshops):

Agneselle - BO: Augstina Dress (White)(Size S)



Intoxiquette - Gold Buckle Woven Belt (Brown), BO: Warehouse inspired Shiftdress (Dusty Pink) & Tribeca Shiftdress (Navy)




Catwalkclose - Floral Sweetheart top (Cream)(Sz M)
Prints for the corset top is really lovely & gives out a summery feel. Colour is brighter than picture. Made of cotton but material is rather thin. No anti slip but one can tighten or loosen the ptp by adjusting the corset back. Comes with side zip. Doesnt squeeze armpit fats.


MDS - Vivi's Off Shoulder Top in Yellow & Stroll Along Neighborhood Pants (Brown)(Sz S)

Top: Have been eyeing this top for a week so decided to visit MDS @ PS to find & try the top. Boy, I love it mad! The prints are so cute, design & fit is so flowy & princess-like. There was only 1 colour for sale at PS. Colour is more to cream/ivory. Although it's really pricey but i really love it!

Pants: Head down to MDS (again) during lunch break today. Sz S fits me snugly at hips, Sz M would have been better but it will be loose from my thigh onwards and MDS @ PS do not have Sz M. So i made do with Sz S. Comes with free brown belt. Just hope i dont get any fatter.



HVV - Soiree Pleat Dress (Purple) & Tate Off-Shoulder Blouse (Blush Cream)




Have a blessed week ahead!
