reality bites

…and so does the sun when it suddenly shows up bringing in warm air after i’ve bundled myself in a cardigan when i woke up cold this morning. the economy or gas prices are more predictable than the weather we’re having these past few weeks. after almost 3 weeks of really cold air, it was such a shock to be breathing and feeling warmer air especially in an outdoor meeting with a german and korean client and you see them sweating profusely. LOL.
anyway, speaking of reality, i am now finding myself being forced to scrimp and let go of my holiday-super-spending days after having computed my finances and finding out i might not be able to afford my way living if i continue to spend like how i am spending. bigger plans are in store for me this year and they definitely need money. i want to say f*ck money but hey, we need it to survive whether we like or not. money simply doesn’t grow on trees. switching to a day job caused my salary to get cut in half but i can’t complain because i’ve been a lot happier and at peace with myself since i moved. so no more new pairs of shoes or even thrifting escapades until june for me. i just hope i can manage this. wish me luck!

F-STOP launches the Hyper collection

i regret not being able to promote F-STOP the first time Melai of Style and Soul shot me an e-mail about it. work got in the way that i missed the date. F-STOP carries a wide array of apparels that would excite every fashionista — from vintage, thrifted, asian clothes and even the most amazing and affordable shoes. if not for my self-proclaimed shopping ban, i would’ve seriously grabbed a pair of wedges from the shop.
on February 7 at 8PM, F-STOP will be launching its new collection called ‘Hyper’ featuring S/S 2011 on-trend items with bold prints and a lot of color. expect blazers, tunic, dresses in floral prints, sheer fabric and lace. although the weather has been gloomy lately, the grey skies doesn’t have to stop us from injection color into our wardrobe as early as now.
