one of life's guilty pleasures

i bought and i bought and i bought today.

goodness gracious me. finally settled on a simple brown (and cheap!) shift dress from bugis v for goof's brother's november wedding and i'm hunting for a chunky red/gold elastic waisted belt now to complement it. *prays and crosses fingers* pls let me look gorgeous on that night! haha. i need to look presentable at least lah, sitting at the family table is no joke. i really love the dress though. it's v-necked with sleeves, above-knee length and spells vintage chic. yips goof might complain it's auntie-ish but i know i'll be wearing it to death and wish it was available in many different colours. :)

it's $34 (amazing price for a dress), the only saving grace from these two days' of retail therapy.

selected sth for chin which i hope she loves (cos i do! haha), invested in a topshop white shirt and 2 bags - a leather bag and the other, a marcjacobs-inspired quilted leather tote (very taitai and lindsaylohan/nicolerichie) - from b.o.w at icon and several other pieces i can't bear to mention for fear of bad shopping karma. think all in all, nearly 200 buckeroos. did my media writing interview with the very sweet and vinage-loving owner of b.o.w who graduated from nus law just this july. so not only was my shopping trip satisfying, it was productive too. -smiles- but the bags alone were a splurge so i'm kinda very broke now.

but feeling very happy. :)))
