"it's a small world...after all" (repeat 3x)


 

rain or shine, january 15 was a date to mark. my good friend, edu, got married to kathi last night. and although i was hours late and didn't get to see the cermony nor catch most of the reception because of the crazy - insane traffic, it was still very touching for me. my friend is happy. my friend is smiling. and most of all, he has found someone who can laugh at his jokes -- when all the time we were making of fun of his humor in college..hehe.

and of all places, i bumped into eden of chic in the tropics at the party! we were laughing at how it could be a mini-(very mini) blogger meet-up...haha! we're wishing dane was there. eden emceed at the party and is a good friend of kathi since high school.  we took a few photos before she left but couldn't really strike poses as it was pouring really hard. i swear, we were crowding ourselves inside the tents. eden sure knows how to do the smokey eye. while i almost got soaked in the rain and forgot to bring my make-up bag.haha! (i should have asked eden what she's wearing...anyhoo, just check out her blog! it's really good..)

while i loved the heels, i couldn't bear wearing them to work because i had to run through the parking lot and it was raining all day. so i brought my trusty boots.



 

i work the night shift and always look forward to 6:00am and see the sun rise from our window.  however, today was as gloomy as it could be. (i think this is the jinx from all the people who say they's jealous of our sun...haha!) so i had to make do with whatever light i can find to manage a good photo inside the house. believe it or not, the light is from my sister's reading lamp...LOL. so how did i do with my photos?

floral dress - thrifted
black blazer - thrifted
strappy heels - so fab!
black boots - mongkok ladies market, hk
 chained watch (with floral design) - hk souvenir shop
 pink shell cuffs - props
blue ring - props
black bag - lil' sister's

  4. The mongkok night market has boots like these? How come I can never score fab items like that?! Grrr. You guessed it, I want to steal ... your boots!

    PS The hubby was still not around when I left the house. The maid said that he had missed me by a couple of minutes ... that's why I got away with the sheer blouse, ha, ha, ha! Aren't we girls funny?!
