On my recent trip to HK, I was able to buy these and I am so happy.

First item is from Clinique. I love clinique’s powder and i already consumed the last one I had so i just have to buy a new one :)

I was also able to buy the very popular EOS lip balm and trusy me this is the best lip balm eveeer!! I have tried a few but this is probably THE BEST! I will try to make a review on the lip balms ive tried soon.

And lastly, the Chanel lip gloss which was recommended to me. Its quite expensive but it’s definitely worth it!

JungSaeMol is one of my favorite Make-up Guru on Youtube. Her channel is mostly inKorean but its actually easy to understand. WAtch this vid and learn how to do a simple yet sophisticated look. Her inspiration for this look is Park Minyoung the lead actress of a very popular drama City Hunter. This is probably one of my favorite make-up look.

SHOES! SHOES! SHOES! - Must haves

I read somewhere that a girl must have atleast 5 different type of shoes. And these are: Pumps, flip flops, sneakers, knee high boots and ballet shoes.

Pumps - SEXY and ELEGANT. Pumps are the best.  When you wear a dress pairing it up with pumps will make your look sexy and elegant. You can also wear it with shirt and jeans or you can also pair this up with hot pants. If you ask me, a pair of pumps is a must :)

Flip Flops - LAZY DAYS.  You can wear this on a stroll at the beach, parks or even going to wet markets (because you can not wear pumps on wet markets hahha) :)

Sneakers - BOYISH YOU. Shorts, tees, tied up hair and a pair of sneakers will make you look casual but still stylish. It may look a little boyish but I find wearing sneakers with shorts, sexy :)

Knee high boots - CHIC. In a country like mine, Philippines, wearing a pair of Knee high boots is kinda crazy because it’s very hot here. Unless it’s raining and when you say knee high boots you meant  rainy boots then it’s fine BUT Knee-high boots comes in different styles now. I’ve seen a lot of open toe knee high boots. But if you want to own one, then it’s fine. I want to own one myself. You’ll never know when you’ll be able to go and visit countries like New York, Seoul or Tokyo right? :)

Ballet Shoes - PRIM AND PROPER. I love these kind of shoes. YOu can pair it up with anything! Pair it off with jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses! Name it! It’s so girly and stylish :) And most of all, it’s very comfortable to wear :)

So those are my thoughts on why these types of shoes are a must have :)

SHOES! SHOES! SHOES!

SHOES! SHOES! SHOES!

They say that you only need a pair of shoes to bring you to places you want to go to. I say, I NEED MORE! lolz. Im obsessed with shoes and I think I know when it started. I think it started when I was in college. 

I wasn’t born with a silver platter, as they call it,  so I only get to own new shoes if, and i mean IF we have extra money. hahah. not that I dont own any, I have shoes but i think i only have 2 to 3 pairs of shoes. And one of those is a school shoes.

When I started earning money, I started to collect shoes. I don’t really mind what brand of shoes I wear, all I care is comfort and style. 

I kept on buying and then now I realized I have a couple of pairs already but I still think I want more. hehhee :) 

Im patient and not an impulsive buyer so If i want something i save for it :) I still have a couple of pumps, boots, sandals that I want but I need to save more cause apart from wanting more shoes I also love bags and makeups! lolz So yeah, i need to save! hahha

Bangkok - A first trip abroad

I have always thought and wished that someday I can travel the world and maybe start in Bangkok. That wish came true last January 2011, YES that's 5 months ago :) My first trip abroad. I didn't know how to feel at first. The experience was so knew to me. I was nervous at the same time excited.

Thailand has a very rich culture. You will be impressed on how much they love their King. We went to visit their temples and it's amazing. I really don't like temples just by looking at it on pictures/books, but when you're there it's so beautiful. Each and every temples are designed meticulously. Beautiful. (picture taken at What Pho)

We also went elephant riding. I am always scared with heights and was on the verge on crying cause I really didn't want to ride the elephant just because i'm scared. But on second thought I realized, I wont know when i would be able to experience it again so better try it. I won't die from it anyway. It was fun, scary and funny experience :) (on picture: Myles, me and Lorie)

Ofcourse your Thailand experience wouldn't be complete without SHOPPING. Thailand is all ABOUT SHOPPING!! You'll be amazed. Everything you want is there. From the most expensive brands to the cheapest. It is INDEED a shopping HAVEN!!! 

And lastly, after days of walking and walking and walking we all finally decided to have a massage. We tried the famous Thai massage and its definitely a must try. All the bodyaches we had were all gone!

That was my 5day thailand trip. Ofcourse I can't put all my photos here cause we won't have enough space for that. Hahaha! If you will ask me if I want to go back to Thailand i would definitely say YES! I would LOVE to shop in Thailand again and probably satisfy my fangirling (terms for girls who loves kpop haha) and watch SNSD's concert there someday :)

hugs and kisses, ♥ erica
