Pink and Undecided: clothes

Pink's All About Fashion GIVEAWAY! (CLOSED)

Yes, you read that right, i am having another giveaway :D!!!

So sorry for my beauty junkie readers, i do not have any beauty products to giveaway for now because like the title already stated, it's all about fashion ^^! But i figured, not every girl likes makeups but every girl have to wear clothes, right? LOL.

I'm sure my loyal readers know that i absolutely LOVE fashion (every bit as much as i love makeups hehe) and would pick my outfits very carefully everytime, what you might not know is that i used to own a fashion boutique that was quite successful, it was on the run for 6 or 7 years (which is quite awesome for a standalone boutique in the middle of office buildings) before i very sadly had to let it go in order for our hostel to expand.

While financially, it makes a lot more sense to give up the business for something thrice as profitable, fashion and shopping have always been a huge passion of mine that i could incorporate in my work, i LOVED my job (even though i had to deal with insane customers on daily basis, as you know-patience is not my strongest suit so it was quite a hard thing for me to face). Ever since i stopped being able to shop to make profits, well.. My wardrobe exploded more than triple its original size because i still have that huge appetite for fashion and now i am only shopping for myself!

Since Chinese New Year's approaching, traditonally we'd start cleaning our house-which includes our wardrobe of course. I finally managed to organize all those crazy clothing hauls i did lately that i was too lazy to keep properly, just store them on top of my wardrobe-still inside plastic bags >.<! I also managed to throw out a basket full of clothes (a few months ago i threw out THREE baskets), which didn't make even the slightest dent whatsoever -___-. But still, better some than nothing *LOL*.

I also have some clothes from my old boutique's stocks that sat on two boxes unloved. I had managed to sell majority of them away, but i still got quite some in my hand. #Undecided, A, Av, G and i planned to sell our pre-loved (what a weird term..) items on Instagram, but i guess working with procrastinators like them is not really going to work, i was the only one (and Av's sister) who ended up taking pictures and uploading my items WTF! I planned to promote the online store in this blog but since the project never really happened... I am still stuck with clothes that i have no idea what to do with.

So... What's better than to give them away? For FREE??? *throw confetti* RIGHT??? It's just in time to celebrate Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year too, yay! Btw, this giveaway is open for those of you who has INDONESIAN address only. So sorry, but i have no budget for international shipping yet >.<!

I would be giving away PIECES pieces of clothing with total worth more than IDR 1.000.000 for three lucky winners, so each winner would get a set of 5!

Everything's brand new and still got tags on, you just need to wash them because they're old stocks!

I have divided all of the sets for fashionistas with different tastes!

First set is for the Youthful Kawaii Girls :

1. Colorful checked halter neck
2. Double loose tank
3. Black minidress with ruffled strap (my personal favorite, if i have smaller arms i'd keep this for myself haha)
4. Patchwork playdress
5. Two piece playful dress

I would say that this category's closest to my taste, but i've grown up a tiny little bit and like to experience with less kiddie clothing. Most of the time anyway hahaha. If your style is youthful, fun and playful, this set it the one you should definitely aim for!

Second set is for the Sophisticated Fashionista :

1. Grey and black tube jumpsuit (my fave, so cool!)
2. Bold and flashy yellow striped dress
3. Simple fake two pieces dress
4. Sexy red and white stripes
4. Micro mini dress with bow elastic obi

This set is for you who has a distinctive style, you dress either in simple, key pieces that you mix and match with other pieces or bold choices that nobody else dares to wear.

Third set is for the Nature Lover

1. Satin and chiffon dress with seashell charms

2. Simple black dress with bright yellow bow

3. Pretty cream floral dress

4. Simple bat sleeved burnt orange dress

5. Moss green 120 denier tights

This set contains clothing with earthy, natural tone-hence the name with simplicity of nature. The theme is even more defined with the appearance of seashell and floral pattern in two of the dresses. Perfect for those of you who likes natural tones and silhouette but still want to look trendy.

Now on to the rules, since i don't have many lucks with Rafflecopter myself, i decided not to use it for this giveaway hehe :p. This giveaway's open for everybody (who has an Indonesian address, like i said earlier), blogger or non blogger, the rules just differ slightly.

It's Play Time!

clothes

Hillooo!

How's your day, peeps? I'm having a mixed feelings one haha. On one hand i am still sulking because i am not well yet (keep on coughing like my lungs are gonna jump out of my throat sometime soon zzzz) and i just got a frustrating BBM from Baby Boy's tutor (who in turn, got informed by his class teacher) about his horrible Chinese midterm test (since when Primary 1 students got midterm tests anyway? Sounds so serious. I really cannot remember doing anything much than learning how to read, write and spell on my P1!) result, not because he couldn't do it (he got 91 remarks on the test before) but because he wasn't in the mood and refused to do the test properly. ARGHHHH!!! I'm sure it's below the set limit (you know, under 60 maybe?) because the lao shi sounded really frustrated as well.

It also frustrates me even more to turn into one of those annoying mummies who stress about their kids' test results like their lives depend on them. GYAAAAAAAAAA!!! But really!!! I mean, he obviously is smart and can do well if he sets his mind into it, but it's so hard to make him want to!!! Any advices *frustration demands*? Should i drag him for a hypnotherapy so he'd get a little bit more ambition and motivation? Haih...

On the other hand, i am super happy because we (well, me really) managed to book all of the hotels (staying in three different hotels zzz) and Hong Kong Disneyland tickets for our February trip! Even happier because we managed to snag a great deal (that former overpriced booking was cancelled already, yay! Not very impressed with Hong Kong Disneyland's CS for not informing us faster, hunny actually had to call their Hong Kong office to make sure we won't double book! It's super pricey if you book the hotel directly from their website, i'd advise anyone who're planning to visit HK Disneyland to get the ticket from Asia Travel instead)!

Not only the hotel's (for Disney's Hollywood Hotel) around HKD 500 cheaper (that's IDR 750.000!!! Cray cray) in Asia Travel, but they are currently having a promotion, if you book any hotel (except Disney's Hollywood Hotel and Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel) in Hong Kong, you're eligible for a Buy 1 Get 1 Disneyland entrance ticket! That's why we're staying in three different hotels hahaha, to snag this deal! Thanks to my BFF A who passed me the promotional information, we ended up saving IDR 1.600.000 for the hotel and entrance!

Not only that, when i booked our final hotel (actually we're staying in Eaton Hotel on the first and last two days, but different branches because sadly Asia Travel didn't have any reservation for the Wan Chai Eaton-which has a 40sq m room!!! So we had to stay at the Nathan Rd Eaton on the first day to get the Disneyland deal) in Agoda, i just realized that i have an IDR 900.000 worth of rewards (thanks to my hours spent painfully writing reviews for the hotels i've booked via Agoda before! There were LOTS!) so we managed to save up even more! On top of that crazy cheap air tickets, i couldn't feel any more blessed!

Could've saved more if we stay in the Disneyland hotel on the 16th instead of the 14th (i wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day in a special place, you see...) because it was like, IDR 600.000 cheaper (and the kiasu in me screamed in frustration), but my hunny told me to stop being such a cheapo and just stick to the plan hehe, so we're going to celebrate Valentine's Day in Disneyland ('s hotel. Decided to go to the park the next day so we can have more time there and won't waste the super expensive hotel hehehe. I swear to God, this is the most expensive hotel we've ever paid for ourselves so far! One night equals almost three nights in Eaton zzz, and Eaton's 4 starred already!), yay!!!

Wogh, i rambled so long already ah, i didn't realize hahaha. And to think that i thought this was going to be a very short outfit post :p. I cannot do short post, i guess i have to come to terms with that already!

So, i called this entry Play Time because of this outfit :

Very youthful and playful, don't you think?

Yup, that's the outfit i wore to Baby Luca's first month celebration! I very recently bought that denim play suit at my former local clothes supplier back when i still had a boutique (they sell wholesale clothes but you can also buy one, at a much more expensive price of course. It really frustrated me having to pay the retail price because i'm spoilt from being too used to their wholesale prices! But i can't buy multiple clothing with the exact same design right!!!), it's very rare that i bought something and couldn't really wait to wear it (i'd usually wait for months, or rather, years *LOL* because i have way too many new clothes and also because i wouldn't be caught dead wearing the same clothes as everybody else #notatrendwhore.

But this playsuit's so cute and i kept wanting to wear it! Then when A told us the dress code was red (well, the tee i wore was red okay), i immediately decided to pair a plain red tee with this playful play suit to give it more edge *you do not expect me to come in plain tee and shorts, don't you? Heck, my first choice was a red dress but i really didn't want to be too overdressed hence the change of heart haha*.

I have quite a soft spot for overalls and play suits, even though i do have a bad memory about them. I remember very vividly it was on the rage when i was little, and i wanted to have one but i was so round that no overalls could fit me back then. My mum had to take me to a tailor to personally make my own overalls, and they ended up dressing me in shapeless pink and white polkadot overalls. I looked like a sour clown, i tell you! That kinda made me a bit apprehensive to try this style again growing up, but they now come in a much more flattering shapes (and it helps that i can actually fit into normal, all size clothes too) and i fell in love with them.

This newest addition to my ever growing collection of play suit's definitely one of the most effortlessly CUTE and it's now my fave play suit (and that means a lot because i don't really have favorite clothes much, i love all 7000 or so that i have hahahaha).

Here's the simple FOTD :

Kept it casual and soft, even went back to nude lips with only lip balm and almost colorless gloss

I kept the theme young and fun because i spent the day with kiddies activities! After Baby Luca's first month thingy, we went to watch Frozen (which i am obsessed with, until today! I really want to watch it again in the big screen! Baby Boy loved it too but i guess mummy's more obsessed hahaha. I keep on singing the songs non-stop, i think i annoy hunny already hahahaha)!

It is kinda shapeless *that is the purpose haha* and it probably caused A's dad to tell me to try out his diet WTF, but i still love it nonetheless!

I also super love the wide leg, it's not often that i find stuffs to be so loose around my thunder thighs hahaha #sosad

And the cute pockets!

Red Tee : Giordano (a gift from #Undecided), Denim Play Suit : Tanahabang.com, Anime symbol necklace : Warna, Lace and Steel Bangle : Shine, Yellow with colorful polkadot Hair Clip : Free gift from anime inspired hand made online shop (defunct)

I don't think there's any other bag that's more perfect for this outfit than this Castle and Soldier one! Bought from Ririn

That's it today, gotta take more cough medicine and try to have an earlier night, wanna do some hot exercise tomorrow! Hopefully i won't feel too sick to do so!

The tee's sort of a couple tee thingy! #Undecided got him in XL (which is too big for him *LOL*) and XS for me (Ave said it's a guy's tee, so i guess that's not too good *double LOL*)

Shop 'til You Drop Ver 2.0

bath and body cares

Hi y'all!

Okay, so... If i say "Oops i did it again" everytime i went on a shopping spree i guess Britney Spears would be hot again. Oops, did i just offend any Britney Spears fans out there? LOL, don't be. I like Britney, her old self at least. But i am not here to talk about Britney for sure (On a totally unrelated matter, have you heard that Brittany Murphy's death is now officially suspected as a murder by rat poisoning??? Cray cray world out there!) :p, it's time for another shopping spree sesh with ma galz!

If you read this entry just posted last month, me and ma gal fwiend G went out for a cray cray shopping spree and we enjoyed it so much we decided it's a must do activity that we'd love to do more regularly. It's not just the shopping spree (though it sure played a big role!) that we enjoyed so much, but also the chance to hang out with your best galz, gossip, catch up and bond. There's nothing more special than a girls time out!

Although we'd love to do it weekly (i heard #Undecided shrieked in horror somewhere just now), there are a lot of other things that we must do (you know, boring ones haha like supervising canopy builders in G's case :P, or less boring things like going to Bali for a vacay in mine!), so we only got to do it a month after the last one. It was so much more special because we were joined (unexpectedly) by #Undecided.

A selfie before going out is like an official rule, of corz. And no, i didn't put on that leopard top to bug #Undecided, i planned to wear it a few days before, it's not my fault that she decided to join at the very last minute! An outfit post will follow soon!

Errr, sorry to post your bare feet, ladies, i gotta show off my cute yellow trainers!

Dunno if you can tell from my face *i think i looked puffy and tired* that i wasn't feeling very well (another episode of flu that haven't gone away for weeks now *sigh*), my nose was blocked and runny simultaneously, it was disgusting.

Plus i was in a rotten mood because my hunny been super annoying (not like, disturb me all the time annoying, but more of that spacing out and unfocused annoying. Pretty much ignoring me for days, and i am such a Princess of corz it made me consider adopting a toy boy immediately. Don't mess with me) for the past few days (of course we made up already, tips? I ignored him for a few hours and went to have fun with my girls. Came crawling back to me acting all cute, of course. Don't take craps from your other half, ladies!).

He totally ruined my plan (including going to the Church again for the first time in many many months. Oops. I just couldn't stand not be near him when i'm super annoyed like that. Don't go on preaching on me now, i won't preach on you and i appreciate you to do the same) but at the same time, i got to have some super fun time with my galz *sigh*. I'm so going to hell.

Anyway! I did have plan to use that Ishine voucher s i got from VT and visit Elianto again (they are having lots of promotion for Christmas! Can't. Resist) but as usual, i ended up with so much more than i planned to. Typical.

You know, for someone who's a total creature of habit i kinda sucked at maintaining series. I keep on going off with my weekly haul posts while my hauls keeps on mountain-ing up. Haih. I actually am prepping another massive November haul already, but i'm so scared that #Undecided would really lose it this time and tie me to a pole or something, i figured it's better to post a haul post of stuffs that i got when i was with her. At least she already KNEW (and must i say, approve?) i got them so she couldn't be angry again. Right? RIGHT???

Okay lah, let's start with the beauty stuffs.

Ishine Trio Eyeshadow in Lilac Candy and Blush On in Bronze D'Or

Very tempted to use every single one of the vouchers (except for the 20% off eyeliner) but it won't be expired before 31st January anyway, so being a weirdo that i am, i decided to purchase their lipsticks (Buy 1 Get 1 what) and powder on January :P. I decided to get the better deals (IDR 50.000 off on blush on and eye shadow each) first :p. I know i said i'm gonna stock up for gifts, but well.. I ended up buying for myself. What's new?

May not look like much in the picture but in real life it's pretty gorgeous!!! Especially love the burgundy one in the middle. Definitely not the type of colors i really have in my collection yet

I actually planned to buy an eyeshadow palette for a gift since the friend i have in mind wear a lot of eyeshadow (but not blush on), but when i saw this shade and swatched it... I (thinking of any excuses) errr, got into the usual trance. I hope that particular friend (i don't think so anyway) reads this blog, but i might give the other Ishine eyeshadow that i got from VT in exchange since it contained much more natural (and more of the type that she wears) and wearable colors. I don't think burgundy eyeshadow's for everybody anyway. I'm still thinking though, i have attachment issues with my make ups *clearly*.

The shimmery blush on was BEAUTIFUL!

Again, it doesn't look like much on the picture *or even on the real life pan actually*, so i was happily surprised when i swatched them and see how beautiful they are once applied! I was never a big fan of shimmery blush on, but they are definitely growing on me. You can't tell from the picture *heck, i can't even tell by looking at the actual thing, #Undecided even went and said that it looked like an ordinary powder on the pan but she also agreed that they are very beautiful worn* but it has a very finely milled shimmer that's gonna make one's complexion glows! From all of their collection (and that's saying a lot because i love how pigmented and buttery their lipsticks are, also how pretty their eye shadows are once swatched-even though i wish they come up with more color selections, they only have four color choicest and on the pan i must say they look kinda "old" and boring) i gotta say their blush ons are my fave!

There were only two choicest for blush on color, sadly! One's a pretty soft pink color called Passion Pink (that should be my obvious choice, given my fondness of pink blushers. But i figured, i still have a few pale pink blush on in my stash so i surprised even myself by purchasing the only other color) and this Bronze D'Or. Dunno why they called it Bronze something, it's very soft and pale, i think it's too pale to be considered a bronzer (or maybe i'm just confusing a simple name with the function, wouldn't be my first). Just like the eye shadow, i hope they'll come out with more colors (at least they have a pretty extensive lipstick choices with 12 colors!).

This is one higher end local brand we should keep our eyes on! And do look out for promotions (like this voucher i used) because without them, they are quite pricey (especially for local products), eye shadows are IDR 135.000, blush ons IDR 120.000, lipsticks IDR 75.000, and if i remember correctly : powder foundie IDR 180.000 and eyeliner IDR 80.000.

Then of course, we went to Elianto (fast becoming my go to imported brand. Very affordable with high quality! Lemme tell you something, their nail polishes are one of the best nail polishes i've ever tried!).

Call me kiasu but i can never pass on promotional packages with cute extras like these!

So, i actually went to Elianto and purchased their sheet facial masks last week (with #Undecided) because i saw in their FB page that they're having a promotion : 5 masks for IDR 79.000, which is a total steal (actual price's around IDR 25.000/piece). Since i am a huge sheet masks fan, i just gotta get them! Then i also got attracted to their other packages (there are a LOT! Including make up sets. If you're interested to get them, hurry and grab them! Lots of great deal there! I'd probably buy every packages available if i let myself WTF), especially the shampoo+shower gel package (because i'm concerned about my hunny's prematurely thinning hair! I try to buy him higher ended shampoos because clearly drugstore shampoos doesn't do anything for his hair! And because shower gel's one my biggest weakness that i can actually justify coz we use them every day right!)

Shampoo+Shower Gel Package IDR 149.000

Chose the Scalp Care Shampoo because i think he needs scalp care more than moisturizing one (the other variant available), but no, he doesn't have dandruff *LOL*. It's pretty huge (400ml).

I sniffed the other variants and sadly i didn't find most of them to smell nice. The BA told me they focus more on the benefit than the smell, but what can i do, i love my shower gel to smell yummy! This one's the nicest smelling one lah, with Raspberry & Acai Berry (sorry for the blurry pic i didn't realize zzz, it's 250 ml).

Then since we spent more than IDR 300.000 in Centro (i also bought two tops that i will show you below), we got an IDR 30.000 voucher. And because i've been thinking of buying more sheet facial masks (you know, i use them every week, i keep on running low on them), i used them wisely of corz ahahahaha.

In the end paid IDR 49.000 for 5 sheet masks! That's IDR 9.800 each, cheap or what?

Next stuffs i want to show you are actually not exactly beauty stuffs, but it can be related to beauty.

Alcohol 70% so i can finally do the DIY brush cleanser that Phanie posted on her blog (that i've procrastinate doing for months already even though i already bought the other ingredient and even a bottle to place them months ago as well..) and Salep Sriti.

I know right, what a fugly name. Sriti. LOLOLOLOL. Sounds like some bird feed or something. And it costs only IDR 4000 (USD 0.35 haha), #Undecided swore by this cream (that is actually a Chinese cream so you can find it in most Chinese medicine shops) to speed the recovery of a wound. My legs recently got lots of wounds from extensive scratching *lots of moqsuitos in rainy season apparently zzzz* so i'm gonna give it a try. I might even do a review on this dirt cheap antiseptic cream :p.

Moving on now! I am trying really hard to reduce my clothes buying, and i really did (you don't believe me??? I only bought ONE dress in Bali and i very rarely order clothes online lately! Really lah, trust me) but then i blew it once we entered Magnolia. LOL. I mean, their stuffs are getting more and more ridiculously expensive (and they put them on sale soon afterwards WTF) and most of their designs didn't agree with me for the past few months, but their new arrival... OH!!! Lots of Emoda inspired (you know, the oh-so-sophisticated monochrome Mode style that, believe it or not, i really LOVE!). So, yep... I'm actually pretty proud that i managed to buy only two (cropped) tops (and that's mainly because a poncho-style top that all three of us liked only got one stock left and we let G-who spotted it first-get. If they have stocks we planned to do a triple twinsies...)

Checked Cropped Top IDR 139.000, Striped Cropped Top 129.000

Since our purchase combined surpassed a certain amount, we could purchase this funky necklace for only IDR 25.000! Of corz i didn't pass that chance

Then, like i said, more clothes at Centro *double sigh*. Both tops were from Chic Simple (one of my fave dept store clothing brand, if only they are not so crazily over priced. I mean, they sell the same stuffs as online shops and they charged more than twice the price. Nutz) on a 70% off.

Blueish Gray Baby Doll Top

Thin Baby Pink Cotton Top

Paid around IDR 170.000 for both tops, so it's IDR 85.000 each (well, when they are on a 70% off then they are cheaper than online shops haha).

I'm extremely happy with all of my purchases (i mostly shop when there are lots of good deals, and i am the kind that almost never have any regrets! I regret only when i jumped the gun, buy a new arrival that in a few months (or worse, weeks) got slashed to half price. That's my ultimate fear now hahaha)! Have you taken advantage in this sale season and bag yourself some good deals?

Now, i'm gonna go and obsess about hotels in Hong Kong for our upcoming holiday! We made a reservation with Disneyland Hotel online that turned out to be severely overpriced *cries*, i found the exact same hotel in Asiatravel.com for HKD 500 cheaper! And the Disneyland online also not very helpful, keep on asking us to fax forms etc (we're using my dad's credit card to book because i want to turn it into installment, you know... kiasu reasons) and no further info. I don't think they charged the credit card yet (they promised they won't charge it without confirmation and so far we got no confirmations yet), so fingers crossed we can cancel it ASAP and book via Asiatravel instead!

Wish me luck!!!
