Justine's 12 Birthday

To the boy that turned my life into an unexpected and meaningful journey... Happiest birthday! 🎂🎉 Having you is such a blessing. You may appear fancy, but you amaze me with a conservative perspective on things. You may be bossy, but you have the softest and kindest heart, most especially to lonely/homeless/disabled people you see. I hope you'll lessen your time on gadgets and more time on enhancing your skills and talent. Don't let shyness and disappointments stop you from doing things. As I always said to you... "More practice makes you better the next time. Be patient." May you continually grow into a sweet, loving, smart, gentleman and cheerful boy. Always remember that Mama loves you so much, Justine Mars! 😚❤

#OnlineShopping: Dresslily Haul

A package delivered via Air21 the other day and I was very surprise with it. It was the clothes that Ive shopped online, at Dreslily.com, last week. Usually my online shopping orders arrived a month after ordering it but was surprised it arrived 5 days to be exact. All the items Ive selected though are priority dispatch, which you can easily spot because they are marked with "Item dispatched within 3-5 business days."

And when I opened it, I was happy with whats inside. The quality of the clothes are great. I ordered 3 items, jogger pants, palazzo pants, and a white crop top. The jogger pants is for my son because he love joggers. The quality was good, its not thick which is great for a tropical country like ours. Although there loss threads but the stitching is all good.
The next one I shop is the palazzo pants which I think was a love at first sight when I saw it on the website, didn't think twice in adding it to cart. I like the cloth, its cotton blend. Its so soft and flowy.
The last thing I got is this white crop top, which I initially for the bohemian skirt I recently shop online. However, it turns out to be a perfect pair for the palazzo pants. The cloth is knitted cotton and its not itchy. Its soft and not thick. I also like that the crop top is not that short so I can wear it not really worry on exposing too much skin or a.k.a extra belly fats. :D
Overall experience was excellent... I recommend shopping at Dreslily.com.

Bride of the Water God

A lot of people compared this drama to Goblin but the ending of this drama is way better than that of Goblin. I actually like the story of this drama. There's probably some missing factor to get hooked with it but a least in this drama everything make sense... Well except for that swimming part with awkward hands though... :D

There's a lot of things shown in every episode of this drama... How much will you give up for power (Ha Baek)... for friendship (Bireom)... for family (Soah's dad)... for humanity (Mr Shin)... for love (Moorah and Ha Baek).... and for yourself (Mr Shin and Ha Baek)...

Life is all about your journey and how strong enough are you to journey further. I also commend Mr Shin's assistant for trying to make that friendnemy of SoAh realize her actions to be a better person. Her attitude is really annoying. I also like how it ended... fair enough for a human and deity love story.

While waiting for the Korean beauty products that I ordered at Althea. I happened to passed by at one of the beauty shop that is originally from Korea, The Face Shop.

The Orange Bikini Craze

Orange is perfect color for summer vibe since its vibrant and refreshing. And a perfect color for the season since its almost transitioning to fall. And we all know orange is the color of fall.

"In Europe and America, surveys show that orange is the colour most associated with amusement, the unconventional, extroverts, warmth, fire, energy, activity, danger, taste and aroma, and the autumn season." ~ Wiki.org

"Studies show that the orange color can create physical effects such as increased hunger, heightened sense of activity, increased socialization, boost in aspiration, stimulated mental activity, increased oxygen supply to the brain, increased contentment, and enhanced assurance. Orange also helps aid decision making, and enhances happiness, confidence, and understanding." ~ Bourncreative.com

Sheer Leggings Online

Do you love wearing leggings? What is your favorite way to wear leggings?

If you have been a follower or a reader of my blog you'll probably know that I am not a fan of pants, and this includes leggings. I only have a few of them in my closet and are worn for 2-3 times.

However, I do love sheer leggings because its so stylish and comfortable... I have one before (click here to see the style). I like to wear sheer leggings under a mini skirt, skimpy shorts and bodycon dresse. Then top it with denim or bomber jackets. And finish the look with either a pair of boots or sneakers.

Here's some very modish sheer leggings online which are definitely a must have whether for fashion, comfort or workout.

All this images are grabbed from Dresslily.com. If your interested visit the website for affordable sheer leggings.

Here's the details of what I've purchase and a review on each of them.

New Womens Floral Chiffon Summer Boho Long Maxi Evening Party Dress Beach Dress (Size: Medium) - This one was disappointing. I love the dress but I don't understand the size, its too big on me as you can see on the image below. However, the gartered end of the arm is so tight. Its chiffon cloth is so thin, perfect for summer. When I opened it when it arrived, the right string was damaged. I thought its okay not to have it but I realized I need to attached it again because it helps the waist part to look nice. I probably need to have this altered to fit on me just so I can use it.
Boho Women's Chiffon High Waist Summer Beach Long Maxi Dress Elastic Waist Skirt (Size: Medium | Color: Khaki) - I love this skirt its so stunning. It fits perfectly on me. The cloth is chiffon and is very flowy but not so thin that is why I love it more.
