I know of some parents who would spend tons of money on their kids hair and not just cutting and taking care of them but letting them color their hair and cutting them in style that no one does back home. Hair cuts and coloring are expensive here in this little town and sometimes I wonder how people can afford to style their kids’ hair the way they do. When I was a kid – we never went for expensive haircuts – so with my kid – I too do not like to bring her to a salon to cut her hair. But lately, the lady who cuts her hair for $10 – either isn’t available or she doesn’t cut them as well as I want to – so I had no choice but to bring her for a $20 hair cut instead. What do you as parents think ? is $20 a hair cut expensive since the kid needs to cut her hair ever 4 – 6 weeks? I know kids don’t really care about how they look but it is us who are fussy and want to give the best to our kids – but one thing you can be sure about – is my kid isn’t getting her hair colored till she is in high school – putting lots of chemical in a kid’s head is not really good – if you asked me – it really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that.
I just started to love the wooden wedge kinda sandals and when I saw it in the shop – guess who bought it for Christmas ! woohoo!! yes ! crazy a bit about shoes these days – I have someone make a shoe case for me – just for my shoes. These were going for like $200 – but they were on sale and you can blame a girl for loving the sale right? Good buy for only $92!
Yes ! I had to buy myself something right to end the year with something good as everyone tells me – and since I loved handbags so much – I had to get this Marc Jacobs Tangramarama Sam Tote. What a name right? yes! long and weird but I loved the look of the handbag. Made of leather and suede – this handbag cost me about $500 – I know it’s a lot of money – but compared to my LV crazed years – this is nothing.
The other goodie that I bought was this Bow Clutch by J. Crew for less than $50 – it’s on discount – and who can resist a bow clutch – goes with any of my evening wear and cocktail parties even for housewarming.
So this is the Roots sport watch that we had won during a Facebook contest – it is a really nice one – but guess what – this $100 + watch – the spouse doesn’t want to wear it because he said it was too bulky ! now isn’t that a bummer! I don’t really want to give it away since I won it – so I’m having a lucky draw – at the store – so that a customer can win it again. Most people wouldn’t find this watch bulky – but the spouse has a really thin dress watch – so I guess anything else is bulky to him. I loved watches but not the sport watch type – I know of a friend who has all sorts of sport watches but I doubt she would want a Roots – all her sport watches are in $1000s of dollars. So I hope someone will enjoy the watch though after the lucky draw.
Yes! I’m a little crazy about hats and cannot resist it – even though it is not the season for hats – I still bought this from Mark’s Wearhouse when I went to get a vest for the winter. And they weren’t even on sale – but definitely cheaper than the ones I bought from Etsy. So the spouse said to me – so your Etsy hat isn’t as exclusive as you think it was eh. Oh well – it is shaped like the one from Etsy but not the same because this is not hand sewn but machine sewn and at $15 – i think it’s a steal.
While I can afford to buy some Hermes for myself – I just don’t dare to splurge because they are darn expensive – but that doesn’t mean that I cannot be happy for my girlfriends who care to pamper themselves with a few gifts every couple of months. I would love some Hermes but I know that only people in Asia can or will know how to appreciate it – so even if I do get it and wear them here – no one will care to comment. But I sure know how to appreciate a good thing when I do see one – and Hermes is a brand that will never go out of fashion – so it’s not just fashion – it’s an investment. I bet whoever becomes the daughter-in-law of my girlfriends – will be darn lucky – because they would surely inherit all these expensive gifts.
I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised about upcycle jewelry right? since I wear an upcycle hat like my daughter does. This upcycle necklaces are made out of wine and beer bottles – pretty unique right? I do like it – looks like jade at first to me – but they are not. Simple yet sweet – and rustic looking with copper chain. $28 only – from BottleHood. I would love to buy one – but I’m allergic to anything but gold 
so for those who loved rustic and unique – check bottlehood out – they have candles too.
Love that combination – don’t you ? all women wants to look good – but not all women can do good – so lets hope a lot of you out there – will try to look good and do good this holiday season. This is how - Amy Sacks who not only make stylish looking glasses – they are very affordable too! no bullshitting here. For every purchase you make – it will help animals in need of care, food and medication. I don’t know how they do it – but I pick a Alex Optical Frame Marine for less than $50.00.
I’ve always loved Swarovski products and this Christmas – like all Christmases – Swarovski has got a few items that are pretty enticing – like this Intervalle Red Bangle – at only $250 for the thicker bracelet and $180 for the thinner one – I am very tempted to get it. As much as I loved it – I am going to have to wait to try it out before buying it – because it would look nice on the screen – but on me – it may not fit me. My wrist may be too small or big for it – or the color may not be right for my skin. What about you ? are you ever disappointed with buying something online and it doesn’t fit?
The Eva Bag was introduced to me by a friend – made of animal vinyl friendly material – at less than $100 – plus the color is what I liked is somewhat hard to resist for me. This Eva Pumpkin Orange bag is very roomy and well-stitched – but the only thing I don’t like about hte bag is the shiny chain for a holder. Why? I’m afraid of static ! didn’t I tell yer! But the color is so gorgeous ! The Eva Bag from Zaum.
