Little H's 1st Birthday, Salmon and Sequins

EL and I have been friends since college, she was the one that taught me how to walk around in heels and I've fond memories of the time we both decided to skip classes to be mall rats for the entire day *grins* It was her daughter's first birthday last weekend.

All the kids went crazy over the Sesame Street themed cake, particularly Elmo. Bubs kept pointing at it and going "ehmo".

The place had lots of beautiful vases with flowers, they were so pretty but I was terrified that Bubs might accidentally break something.

I wore this gauzy blue tulle skirt with silver embroidery on it. I got it from the kids department at Somerset Bay years ago. My deepest darkest fashion secret is that I love shopping for my clothes at kids stores. The sizes often run big and there are so much cute stuff, not to mention the prices are a lot cheaper!

Whenever we're at a mall and if Bubs is hungry, we always head to Sakae Sushi. I like how Hubs and I can snack on yummy sashimi and we get grilled salmon for Bubs. I like to put heaps of wasabi with soya so tears stream down my cheeks. I'm sadistic, I know.

My Zara sequined clutch finally arrived in the mail! It was sold out everywhere and nearly impossible to get. I preferred the gold version but it was selling for nearly double the price on Ebay so I settled for the black sequins. It's one of the largest clutches I've ever had and can fit all my junk inside nicely without bulging or becoming a weird shape. I love, love, love how it jazzes up a casual tee and jeans outfit and can't wait to rock it with dressier options.

Missoni for Target and a Lion Dance

Ebay has been good to me. My heart gets all fluttery whenever I see pretty things on it and my fingers itch to click the bid button.

This Missoni for Target skirt was a recent found and I love its cheery print. Hubs asked why on earth was I wearing a poncho wrapped around my waist. Hmmmph. Men clearly do not appreciate the wonder that is chevron.

I was thrilled when I found 2 of my favourite things together: a lion dance inside Charles & Keith at Gurney Plaza. They danced outside the store then went in, pranced around the shoes (see, even the lions recognized how gorgeous Charles & Keith shoes are), either peeled/ate (debatable) oranges at the cashier before exiting to eat the traditional chai (lettuce) hung on the entrance of the store.

I didn't realised that the lions went everywhere. I went to Topshop and the lions were there dancing, they even slowed down a bit to let some of the sales staff pet their rump! As I walked around Gurney Plaza, I kept hearing the clashing of cymbals and the thumping of the drums. I found the lions again inside Parkson, going from counter to counter. When I was on the 2nd floor, trying on clothes at French Connection, the lions were there. When I went to the counter on the 3rd floor to pay for Bubs baby wash. they were there again! It seemed as though I was stalking the lions or they were stalking me :)

Of course I took this as a good sign that you should shop, shop, shop. Hubs jaw dropped when he saw me carrying tons of paper bags back and said it's dangerous to leave me alone in a mall for a few minutes.

Can you tell that I love prints at the moment?
