STOP SHOPPING

I decided that i needed someone to stop me.(not kenneth of course.)
I gave the green light to auntie diana.
if i were to buy anymore things, scold me.
If i were to contemplate about whether or not to buy something, the answer would always be 'no'.
far too much , well, would i call destruction, has been done.

i dont even dare to put the image of mum or dad in my mind now. (sorry dad, i know its all your money im spending.)

It all started with a seemingly harmless trip to ZARA at IFC(Central).
heard my colleague mentioning the other day that it is different from other ZARAs around town.
I checked myself to the TRF section as usual, and the next thing i knew, i shipped myself to the fitting room.
as if it was all a natural process, i was at the cashier paying up.

Before i left, spotted a size 41 neon-green tipped pumps.
WOW i thought, ZARA PUMPS AT HK$159? HMM.
i slipped my feet into it, but decided against buying it.
The same day when i was taking a nap, i dreamt of the shoes.

Thus today i made another trip down to ZARA.
now the shoes are sitting at the feet of my bed.

well, i did not even dare to enter MANGO afterwards.
The thing is, i have been consistently shopping as if it was a pill to be taken everyday.
i buy any and every thing, almost.

im standing at:

5 new dresses.
2 skirts
2 pair of shoes (with much/great abstinence)
4 hairbands
3 other-than-black-colour stockings
7 tops
1 scarf
1 new eye-liner
1 eyeshawdow
2 vests
2 plastic frames
more than 5 pairs of earrings (lost count)
2 bangles
1 bag (lately i've lost interest in bags cos i've got a few that cater to all my needs.)


no, not everything is thrifted so i am feeling very broke now.
i have yet to total the damages.(excluding the amount of weight i've gain hahahahah)
oh ya! NINE WEST IS CHEAP HERE!!!!!

i guess my NARS blusher will have to wait, so does the Majorica Mascara and the Kate white eyeliner.

STOP SHOPPING!
im gonna head for the library next week, i swear.
step the afternoon reading vogue and anything Haruki Murakami.

...

im very broke cos im now spending 2 times the amount of money doing laundry as compared to the first 2 weeks.


Oh that lazy and rainy saturday i went to ZARA, i almost managed to finish reading eat, pray ,love by Liz Gilbert.
i dont thing i can ever lend that book out to anyone, cos its heavily loaded with my messy handwriting.
it is hardly a 'travel narrative', it seem pretty much like a self-help book.
a very well written self-help book, very interesting, not just saying the DUH stuffs.
but its definitely not for impatient or un-adventurous people.
started on a new book, Princess Masako,story of Japan's crown princess.
its awfully enriching in the sense that its filled (to the brim mind you!) with japanese culture thou its writer is australian.

discovered another new place in HK today!, found another vintage shop
this time, its hardcore all vintage accessories, in big big dirty plastic bags whereby you have to fish out the gems yourself.
taken care by an old lady who i managed to strike a deal with, in cantonese.AMAZING!

ohmy, enough talk!

will post pics soon! keep a look out!

some pics i posted the other day, believe libing has seen it.
