the shopping i did
i exercised control. but still managed to spend ALOT.
i managed to snag blushes from Bare Essentuals. Nick could not stop me, he knows i'm incorrigible.
Beauty (blushed pink)
Sorbet (ballet pink)
i've been using Beauty everyday. it's a pretty colour but knowing me, the blush hoard, i'll get sick of it quite quickly. the colour's really pigmented so a little does go a long way.
and i bought jeans too!
had a hard time getting the right size. for 7s, size 26 was a tad too loose on me so i opted for 25 which was kinda tight. but the SA said i should take the 25 as long as it wouldn't cause breathing problems coz the denim would stretch out. there were about 4-5 colours available but i could only find one 25 in black denim. the rest were 26 and up. she said new stock would be arriving in the following week. too bad, i had to leave that night. coz i wanted to get this:
SAFM Roxanne Stretch Jean
but ended up with this instead
SAFM Roxanne Jean Stretch
wasn't too keen on black coz the day before, i wandered into Macys and bought this:
Joe's Jeans Ultra Chelsea Stretch
i had to really downsize for this. Nick took a 24 for me and initially, i thought they looked like leggings. it was that fitting. i started wailing that i looked like an elf. i tried a 25 in another cutting (cigarette jean) and it was loose in certain areas so i got the 24. figured it'll probably stretch out after a few wears. once again, mostly bigger sizes left. 26 and up. i much prefer Joe's Jeans coz it's really really comfortable. but it's also more tapered than SAFM. if you're looking for skinny jeans, i would recommend Joe's Jeans. but if you prefer something not too skinny (think slim cut), go for the Roxy. however as far as sizes go, you'll probably have better luck with the Roxy coz i'm not exactly tiny and 24 for Joe's was just right. there isn't anything smaller.
we checked out Marc Jacbos new Splashes in Violet, Amber and Ivy. Violet's a lush floral which i adore. Amber smells fantastic on a guy. unlike the previous trio, these are supposed to be limited edition.
that's all i bought in SFO. i was a saint in Hong Kong. spent all my money on food and harshima/harsima. after i heard that it's good for skin, there was no stopping me/us. having people share the guilt did make me feel better.
