HK/ Macau 2016

With their love lives (or anything remotely close to that) in danger of extinction, three girls packed their coat-laden bags and set off on a journey to this neighboring harbor. With its energetic vibes, fantastic shopping opportunities and numerous attractions, HK seems like the perfect place to bond with gal-pals!

True story though. Two days before the trip I realized that the friends I traveled here with in the past didn’t really end in a nice way. :-/ Two girlfriends, different instances, different dramas. I wonder if history really repeats itself but I seriously hope not though. I still believe in that saying that lovers come and go, but friends remain forever. Those true ones at least. J

Seoul 2015

Anyong Haseo! =) Fresh from Seoul, Korea I thought I'd share my travel OOTDs here. The weather ranged from 6 to 14 degrees in daytime but went to atleast -1 degree at night during my stay. 

If Olivia Palermo is the queen of mixing high-end and high-street fashion, then I'd love to emulate her example by mixing high-street and unbranded. Hehe =P Perfect examples would be the gallery below. With that, I'd like to highlight my bag purchases from night markets.

I appreciate high-end structured bags and I do see the point of investing in them. But what with a limited budget, I'd rather take the eclectic approach than invest on a single expensive bag and organize my style around it. That's just not me. Enter these bags into the picture.

One glance and for sure I know you can tell which brands they are trying to copy. The blue one here below which can be mistaken for that French tote is from Taipei and my very recent shoulder bag in the last photo (from a movie titled Guesthouse, lol!) was bought in Gangnam market! They're from both local brands in their respective countries and something I'd prefer than buying a replica (cough cough China! lol!). Roomy, structured and affordable. Now that's my kind of bag. =)
