Brighter Than Sunshine

I met up with Valencia for dinner today. We had a wonderful time sharing bits and pieces of our lives with one another! It was also fun and heartwarming to be able to relate to one another in terms of religion, life experiences and relationships despite it being our first meeting. We had a nice dinner where we enjoyed yummy reasonably priced pasta at Pastamania (my second time there) as well. It is also such a pleasure to know that we live pretty near one another!

Cheers to a great start of our friendship Do visit her blog — she’s got a wonderful boho style that is quirky, daring and unique. We got each other gifts and you can check out what I got her on her blog! And here’s what she got me:

An exfoliating cleanser and pink shimmer nail polish from Stila and a cream eyeshadow/base from MAC — I love them! She knows me well I am really glad and thankful for the gifts of friends and generosity. Friendships are a gem that should be held dear to heart always, that is if they are genuine and sincere to begin with.

I managed to take some outfit pics when I got home with the help of my boyfriend, J who is the photographer behind most of my outfits. Gotta share with you some of his art works one of these days. My artist boyfriend is truly amazing with his blessed gift of art.

I wore: Black silk jumpsuit, F21. Studded suede wedges, Pedder Red. Black gem ring, F21. Studded bracelet, random. Bag, Balenciaga. Nail polish, OPI Shorts Story.

Just to share with you… I am gonna have my 2nd giveaway before I leave for Italy! It’ll be an early Christmas gift so be sure to stay tune and check back for more details! To be updated instantly, Tweet with me and add me on Bloglovin

The Breton Tee

Published December 1, 2009 Bags , Outfits 15 Comments

As some of you might be aware, the stripes are back! This time, much fiercer than before. Stripes will no longer bore us out nor look the same again. I’ve always loved stripes, if you’ve been following my blog, you’ll come to realize that I do have quite a handful of ’stripey’ stuff like tees and bodycon dresses. And now, the bigger reason to take this love a step further is that Zara has come up with their own version of breton tee, which is in my humble opinion, the most awesome breton tee I’ve ever seen. At 60 bucks! And yeah, with shoulder pads too!

I wore: Breton shoulder pad tee, Zara. Washed out denim shorts, Paige Denim. Glitter flats, Repetto. Bag, Balenciaga. Watch, Franck Muller.

Special thanks to the boy who bought me the breton tee!!

PS: My Twitter account has now been changed from Adeliet to lovecoutureluxe. Tweet with me today!

PPS: I am deliberating which bag to bring for my Italy trip. Grey (view the bag here) or red balenciaga? Grey would make a lovely neutral and will definitely attract much lesser unwanted attention as compared to the red, but the red is an awesome red which brings out the best in every outfit! What do you think?

Would You Shoe Me?

Some random thoughts:

Increase my resistance against shoe sales please.

I cannot describe with words the intensity of my love/hate relationship with year end holiday sales.

And I truly hope that I can resist the MANY shoe sales I will experience when I am off to Italy in 2 weeks.

Yes, you heard me. I’m going to Italy for my trip! The mother land of all Catholics I truly hope and pray that God will strengthen my resistance against temptation. As we all know, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. I really need God’s strength to pull through the very tempting sales (think Florence and all the designer outlet stores — jaw dropping + breath taking?). I will try and do as best as I can to remain sane and not be driven mad by the crazy holiday shopping bazaar.

PS: I love these shoes. I really really do. I am so glad I managed to get them; they are the last pair!

I can’t wait to wear them out later! I’m thinking of pairing it with the new white ruched dress (a couple of entries ago) and a black blazer.

As for now, I’m gonna go to bed. Feeling tired and really hungry.

Love, Adela

Long Time Love Affair

I know I ought to grow up but what’s a girl to do when she loves a cute white kitty all decked in pink! I grew up with Hello Kitty and I know that Kitty has 2 categories of fans — fans like me and well, hate fans aka haters. Sadly I belong to the former so if you feel uncomfortable with a cute cat without a mouth, please refrain from viewing this entry. Now that you’ve been warned, for those who adore cute kitties… enjoy
