Nuovi Amori

New bag & shoes for the new year! Miu Miu studded nappa clutch, Miu Miu crystal flats, Fendi B purse and Sam Edelman snakeskin ballet flats. Not included here is a pair of Tod’s red patent loafers which I got for 65 euros at The Mall.

There is a very sad and tragic story behind my shopping. But to summarize in just one line — I would have bought a lot more stuff if not for the fact that my money was stolen. I. am. really. disgusted. with. people. who. rob. and/or. steal. for. a. living. May God have mercy on them all.

On the other hand, I had probably the best trip as yet. The most fulfilling, enriching and knowledge gained trip I’ve ever been on. A special thank you to my boyfriend and his parents who have enabled and supported me throughout the trip :)

Hope to post pics of my trip but there are like 129817941 of them. On a random note, how has your new year been? Stay safe and joyful!

PS: I think I really do love the color black, don’t I? All the stuff are in black! Shocking to know actually, haha.

Love, Adela

Stop Me!!

Look at what I’ve scored!!!!

I got the above items at awesome prices, I must admit. And I can’t wait for them to get to me! I’ve also got the Topshop x Christopher Kane crocodile print tee and some stuff from F21 which I ought to stop looking at because I just realized F21 shopping has become a monthly ritual!

But as awesome as shopping may be, someone please remind me to stop browsing online shopping websites. They will be the cause of my bankruptcy! Nooo, I want to stop spending and I’ve promised God and myself that I will try my very best to spend below a certain budget (definitely less than a thousand!) a month. I’ve been good and fulfilling that until I received last month’s bill — shocked as I am, I’m not gonna pretend by giving excuses that I need this or it’s so cheap I had to get. In truth? I need nothing of those! What I really need is to STOP looking at shopping websites and resist the urge of clicking BUY. It’s hard, you know? I’ve stopped shopping very much at brick-and-mortar shops as compared to the past and now I need to cut down significantly on shopping online? It is really difficult! But God, grant me Your strength and grace to pull through and strengthen my resistance against temptation!

Now I just pray that my mom would not scream at me when packages (I have about 6) come flooding my doorway in the next couple of weeks. Acks.
