Everything?

Money is not everything but yet you cannot do anything without it.

Dressing up and looking good is not everything, but yet it reveals all that is within!
I am not someone who will make up everyday. In fact, I only do when I goes to church because I believe that we need to look good when we come before our king. 

My recent trip to shanghai, I met a friend and stayed with her for a few days. Everyday I see her diligence in putting make up and looking her best, till the very moment she goes to bed. On the last night, I had the chance to chat with her. Talking about the importance of working on marriage, I realized looking good is also a constant effort in making the marriage work!

Whatever is true on the outside reflects the truth on the inside. Very much like the saying that goes, there are no ugly woman, only lazy ones. When you dress simple, life will also be simple and boring. Using "not a make up everyday kinda person" as an excuse of my laziness was greatly revealed.
When you just wear whatever comes to you without thinking, is really because you are too lazy to stand in front of the mirror to take a look at yourself a bit more to see if it all matches!

Does it cost to look pretty and dress up? Of course it does. I am not going to lie to you and say that it does not cost money. But does it have to cost thousands of dollars for plastic surgery and branded? NO.
Dressing up is about how you can put various things together and give a completely different style each time. With the same pieces of clothing but yet wear out a completely different you, for different events. Fashion is not always about the new and the expensive.

It's never about the brand, it's about the design. It's never about the trend, it's about my style! - Jamie Lin 

Party of LOVE

My birthday theme was called, Party of LOVE. Wondered why i came out with that theme?
Well, have you heard of the saying that goes, it is more blessed to give than to receive?

A week or so before the actual day, i was actually feeling quite down and was wondering if people will remember my birthday etc. That day i was in church and God reminded me of His word. "It is more blessed to give than to receive!" I received the word in joy and begin to organize my Party of LOVE. The next one whole week, i had my mind set on thinking of all the things i am going to do for the party instead of spending those times trying to think of what others are thinking.

I searched for a nice place, i called to make booking, i printed invitations, made my own party bags and think of the gifts to give to each one who comes! I had 2 parts to this party with 2 different groups of friends. The first party took place at my house and i decided to have a garage giveaway! Giving away alots of clothes, accessories, bags, facial mask and some small collectables! It was my happiest birthday EVER! Seeing them picking the clothes and leaving with bags of things so happily, brought me greater joy than receiving presents from them.

The 2nd party was the one i posted a few days back, that took place at Verve Pizzeria. Click here to view post. This time in the party bag was a hand sanitizer that comes with the holder from Bath&BodyWorks imported from US and a facial mask!

So let's spread love today! You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving. Giving is one of the sure signs of LOVE!

Wait, No More!

Tried walking up and down the stalls again and again to look at the same item? To realized that it is sold the time that you went there for the last time to purchase it?

Many times we try to control our spending by walking up and down the streets, round and round the malls, the same day, the day after. Telling ourselves "maybe we don't need it?", "i will come back for it another day!" or "maybe next month then buy".

Looking back at all the 'lost opportunities', i have learnt. There are somethings that if we cannot decide at that moment, maybe we don't really need it or want it. But if you still think of it after walking around, we should not hesitate to go back for it!

One way to make sure you don't miss it, is to walk around window shopping. Set aside 30 minutes of the time you have before you plan to go off, to walk back to all the shops to get the things that is still on your mind. You will realize that almost 50-60% of the items you 'Keep.In.View' earlier are no longer on your mind and there are this 30-40% of the items that are still constantly recording in your memories. The right thing to do is to then evaluate the amount of money you have, whether they are within your budget. If not, get only the first few items that still comes to your mind despite all. You will realize that, you never regret getting them! In fact, you will be glad that you did!

Wait No More! I know that feeling because i am a shopper too!

Trend in Style

Many shoppers falls into the trap of being a trend followers. Every time we hit the malls, we look out for the latest trend and try our best do grab something in trend. Some shoppers are even willing to spend hundreds or even thousands to revamp their cupboards with all the most updated trends in the malls. If you happen to be one of them, and you cannot resist but to fall into this trap time and again. Then take some time to stop and think. Are you following a trend for the sake of a trend? Is this really your style?

Why not just dress your style and set the trend instead?
A girl simply walked into an event with a bright neon pink dress that is her style, looking really gorgeous attractive, started a new trend. Where people swarm to get neon colors and as the demands increases, it became the latest trend and it pushes the previous trend off.

Walking into the malls with a Shopper's Mind, i saw how shops selling neon colored clothes and how shoppers are buying them off the racks. Some design are really simple and plain while some may even fall into the category of being ugly, of poor quality but yet many trend followers simply grab them because of the color and it's in trend. Are you losing your style, through the years of following trends? It's time to think of your real style, clothes that really fits you and make you look attractive! I know it's hard to 'stop' and 'think' in the midst of a shopping spree, so do the thinking before you start!

I know how you feel because i am a shopper too!

I'm back!

So long since i blogged and i almost forgot about my blog!

First up! i just got back from my Hong Kong trip on Friday night, past midnight..

It was a 6 days trip with my mum, and i really love going out with my mum! =D

More than just the shopping, it's also about the time spent with her...

Spend time with the people u love k! it is priceless and all worthwhile! =)

This trip was quite a busy one, so we didnt have time to shop much. Moreover, they are having their autumn season so the people there are all preparing for the winter and most of the clothes are winter clothes.

This is the 2nd most expensive thing i bought in the trip. (Don't ask me what is the most expensive thing, cause i promised my mum not to tell anyone). This is a LV new series bag! They had it all sold out except for my very last piece and so... i bought it for $1517. But looking at it on the bright side... i can use it for both casual and formal! =P

3rd most expensive thing is this Jimmy Choo heels. I fell in love the moment i saw it! i am willing to give up any of my shoes for this! Hahahaha... i am sure this is gonna be the next big thing, the next fashion trend! So i promised i will not buy anymore heels for now. Hehehee but thank God i got one heels boots the day before le. =) That one my maid kept it and i cannot find it so will take photo another time.

Lastly, this is a not expensive thing. but this is a remarkable first pair of flat cover shoes i have ever bought other than school shoes and sport shoes. Hahaha.. All leather so it's quite comfortable. This might mark the historical moment of wearing more flats~!

i am leaving the house for something special today.. so i will update you with more stuff soon~ Especially all the things i ate in Hong Kong! Hahaha.. =)
