Hey everybody!! First of, I want to greet you all Happy Holidays! Christmas is just around the corner, and I could not be happier :) I'm glad I'll be seeing more of my family this year, as almost all of us are going to be in LA for the holiday season. More than being happy about the holiday season though, I'm excited to be in the Golden State and get a lot of shopping done! Haha :)
So far, it's been a busy December! I took my grad school exams, and that was really stressful for me since I've been reviewing months for it and grad school applications are just around the corner. :) Also, a few days ago, my Auntie Ton and Auntie Peng invited me to join them on their Hong Kong trip! You all know how much I love Hong Kong, since it is my favorite Asian destination, and it was my first time to meet my Auntie Ton since she lives in San Francisco and hasn't been home in around 20 years -- so I agreed to join them :) The trip was short but extremely fun! I went to Macau for the first time, and even won some games at the Casino! Haha. I'm itching to go back, so I can win me some more! ;) As for shopping, I took them around Mong Kok in the Ladies Flea Market as well as along Granville Rd. (which have the best boutiques for me!!) :) Let me know in the comments or on twitter if you want a complete shopping guide on Hong Kong, and I'd gladly share with you all what I know :)
Here are the things I picked up while I was in HK over the weekend! :)
Cotton On Floral Peplum Dress
Cotton On Floral Peplum Dress
H&M Silk Skull Print Top (obsessed with this top!!)
In Fashion Camo Sweater (the material of this sweater is incredibly soft! Can't wait to use this when I travel again, it'll be particularly helpful this winter season!)
Random boutique along Granville Rd. Neon Pink Cross Sweater
In Fashion Neon Green Aztec Print Sweater
Mong Kok Ladies Flea Market Nude Pink Knitted Sweater
In Fashion Baroque Art Print Top (not sure about Baroque art... but it kind of looks like the ceiling of the Palace of Versailles? I just assumed :P)
Mong Kok Ladies Flea Market Zip Up Sweater (this I bought for my Kuya Carlyle! I'm hoping he's going to like it!)
City Super Rucksack (got this for my Kuya too!)
Mong Kok Ladies Flea Market Ring Clutch (probably my best purchase this whole trip! It screams McQueen!!)
I didn't shop much since I'm reserving my funds for my trip to LA Fashion District :P Haha. These were the things I really felt like I couldn't live without, and I got all these for less than US $200! A pretty good bargain if you ask me :) And also!!!!! Just a side note :P Les Maquillages Babes has given me my own segment called Just Ask Carla! If any of you have questions regarding make up, fashion, beauty, and whatever else, please feel free to drop by http://formspring.me/JustAskCarla and leave me something there! I always look forward to your questions, and check my formspring account regularly. :) Thanks for reading my blog! And I'll be having a post holiday giveaway! Watch out for that :)
