I always thought it was traditional to do a recap of all that has happened in the year. Reflect upon what was great this year and what I wow to do better next year. This post is dedicated to the loads of fun I have had self-indulging and blogging about this year. It was fun to resume my normal spending habits once there no longer was a looming big event that I had to save for (most of last year's purchases were wedding related), truth be told, there was a bulk of these items that came about because of the new lifestyle I began leading staying with my in-laws, with all that extra spare cash I now have.
First the beauty department:
A mixture of luxury and non-luxury items. This doesn't even include the nail foils and falsies and freebies that I had gotten this year. Most the items were purchased from Priceline, Malaysia (still the cheapest place to buy cosmetics I find) and at beauty events.
Next up, the clothes:
Labels featured here include Zara, Topshop, Kookai, Dotti, Sass, Cue, Zeitgeist, Sheike, Wayne Cooper, Forever New, Pleasure State, Witchery, etc, bought from the markets or retailers locally (Yes I still shop the brick and mortar variety). And yes the brands like Dolan, Marc Jacobs, Rory Beca and New Romantics, Tory Burch are courtesy of Shopbop whilst the capped toe wedges are Asos.
Other accessories I couldn't fit into the collage included booties, Mollini sky-high heels, two lust have bags (Rebecca Minkoff Quilted affair and 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli), Statement necklaces, Missoni scarf, Fendi frames, iPhone cover and iPhone 5, Gum boots, and earrings from Colette and MJ cushion cut studs:
Again a mix of store bought and e-tail. And a mix of high-end and cheapies.
Just another year that hasn't had too much else happening, but filled with so many moments of simple bliss in either opening a parcel or trying on the clothes as soon as I got home, I think it tided me through some tough times and many a fashion dillema of 'not-having-anything-to-wear'.
Happy New Year guys!
P.S. this post scarily doesn't include absolutely everything I bought this year. There were some I didn't save the pics of or I might have utterly miss. Also, as I collated this before my UK/ Europe trip, I really didn't truthfully have full disclosure here. Nevertheless, you know I'll do a haul post when I get back, and by then, it really counts as purchases for the New Year anyways. *wink*
