Sereni & Shentel Fan Love 2013

Sereni & Shentel posted this up 2 days ago on their facebook page.

They are asking fans to participate and be part of their 2013 Look Book by emailing in pictures of their fans wearing Sereni & Shentel headbands.

And I thought, 'hmm... Interesting!'

I've been a fan of their headbands since a few years back. It started with just admiring their collection for a long time before I made the first purchase. With their prices, their headbands are indeed in a way catered for high end consumers.

Although with that pricing range, Sereni & Shentel has been posting up and publicize numerous promotions over the years making it sometimes very affordable! And this is how I own my very first S&S headband. I would usually make purchases through these promotions, slowly building my very own mini S&S headband collection (still not many compared to a lot others but they are so precious and I'm very proud of it!).

Mental note: Should take a picture of my headbands!

Anyways, so I think hard and search through old pictures and I must say, these headbands has been part of among the most memorable events in my life. So I put the pictures in a new folder, cropped it according to the t&c, and participate!

Here are the ones that I submitted.

  

I got a little greedy and sent in 3! My malam berinai, my anniversary and my anniversary gift from hubby :) Posted the 2 pictures in my previous post too.

I'm not sure if I will be featured in the Look Book but it was sure interesting and heart warming thinking back about my journey being a Sereni & Shentel fan and how it has been part of my life.

So to those out there who are just like me, come on and email in those pictures! I'm sure it'll be so exciting if our pictures are selected :)

Our first Anniversary

Our first Anniversary was last week! Minus the fact that I'm documenting this a week late, oh-mai-god it's been ONE YEAR!

Can't believe we've been married that long already. Being married for a year is definitely a milestone! Glad that Hubby is onshore this time so we get to celebrate. Thing is, we've never gone out at night since Zarra is around and we'd never go anywhere during the weekends without her. So we're not sure how are we actually celebrating.

Thankfully my kind-hearted and full of understanding Mom told us to go out for some dinner and movies, she'll take care of Zarra for the night. The magic words were like music to our ears! Well, we're avid movie goers since we got together years back and even at 7 months pregnant, I was still watching late night movies (very determined though, I usually would be so tired and would have gone to sleep before 10pm).

Unfortunately, towards the end of my pregnancy, there were nothing good premiering so we ended up not watching any until I gave birth. And of course, after giving birth there's the confinement and Zarra. Those were the time when all these hyped up movies are on! We missed Batman, Spiderman (the new one of course) and tons more.

Of course we said YES! Our first date after a oh-so-long time!

The day before our anniversary, Mom surprised us with a mini wedding cake and made her signature spaghetti for everyone at home to celebrate.

 Was home for the weekend so no make up!

 Zarra sandwiched! And not liking it.

Mom even got the wedding dolls! LOL!

Then on the day itself, we had a nice dinner at Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa and food was superbly awesome accompanied by luxurious atmosphere. Our first dinner date at a fancy hotel (ever!) then watched Resident Evil: Retribution. Good movie, though I was yawning perhaps 4 - 5 times because I was so sleepy. Hubby kept on asking if I wanted to cancel and go home but I managed to stay up and enjoyed the movie. Then home and straight to bed! (Yes, bed. THAT tired)

 With my dear Sayang

Coincidentally, Sereni & Shentel was having a mooncake festival promo that weekend. Now, those who know me knows how I'm a huge fan of their headbands. I could get two headbands worth RM360 for half the price, RM180!  I've been wanting their New Money collection but it was so pricey I hold on to the thought. So this was definitely an irresistible offer. Told Hubby about it and he insisted on getting them for me instead as our anniversary present.

OF COURSE I SAID YES PLEASE! 

Picked the colours I wanted and fast forward 2 weeks later, the package arrived today. I am so in love!

New Money & Mandy!

Immediately tried it on at the office!

THANK YOU HUSBAND! I LOVE YOU!

Dior Addict Lip Glow

I'm not a big fan of lipsticks so I tend to purchase lip balms or sometimes lip gloss instead. I usually would buy one because I thought I need one, then I'd usually forget I have one and ends up not using it anyway. Goes out on a different day, sees a lip balm and again I thought I need it and it gives a nice shade, bought it then chucked to the corner of my makeup bag.

Unlike most girls, I don't have the habit of re-applying my lipsticks or lip gloss after a few hours or after a meal in a day. I would put it on before I leave home and that's it. I won't remember anything about it until my lips starts cracking.

This is all before I found Dior Addict Lip Glow. My friend Dina recommended this while we were on our usual girls-day-out. It was out of stock in KK so I bought mine while I was in KL last week. I now simply can't live without it! I've even cleared all other lipsticks or lipgloss in my daily makeup pouch.

It moisturizes the lips while giving this subtle hue or shades according to your lips! So different people who puts it on, it'll generate different color according to your skin tone. I now have beautiful gorgeous lips all day long! I would like to believe so lah...

Color Awakening Lipbalm

A made-to-measure lip balm that beautifies and durably enhances the lips’ natural color. A customized color result : thanks to its Color Reviver technology, Dior Addict Lip Glow reacts directly with the unique chemistry of each woman’s lips before releasing its color ingredient. Lips seem revived from within, amazingly fresh, full and radiant. In addition, its SPF10 formula enriched with wild mango and luffa cylindrica continuously protects and moisturizes. A universal balm for all lips. (www.dior.com)

I would highly recommend this to those who are not all fancy about makeup but would love to enhance your look, not leaving your face looking too pale throughout the day.

You can get it at any Dior counters for RM88.

FashionValet.net

Just 7 months old, the website hosts more than 40 designers with tons of varieties on everything latest in trend and fashion.

Above all, what I like best about fashionvalet is how they have aimed to distinguish and help market our very own local Malaysian fashion designers! When I first found out about the site, I did not know most of the brands, or maybe all the brands in there. But I was surprised how everything looked so gorgeous! If it's the pictures then they've done a good job in getting the clothes looking good. As for price range, the designer's clothes are acceptably reasonable and some does cater for high end shoppers.

At first, I wasn't sure of spending hundreds of ringgits on designers that I have never heard of but following their update every Mondays and Thursdays (followed their Twitter so I can't say no to the link that screams "CLICK ME! because the site is updated with more gorgeous stuff you don't want to miss out and burn holes in your pockets for!" - of course it didn't sound like that) it is just irresistible. Every time I browse through, there's always a piece I would want to just add to cart!

I gave in to temptations and purchased these:

Checked out and paid at 4pm YESTERDAY and guess what? Was so excited when I got home from work TODAY to see my Poslaju package sitting right there on the sofa waiting for me to rip it apart! Talk about excellent efficiency and look at their packaging! All that was worth the amount I paid for. They will notify you when they receive payment and also will update you when the items are shipped out from their place together with the tracking number. Oh how I heart technology! Oh by the way, free shipping when you purchased above RM200.

Look at the effort they gave on the design of the envelope!

Neatly wrapped up in plastic.

Tried both tops on and it fits perfectly! Glad that they also provide measurements for each sizes so you can't really go wrong. SUPER HAPPY!

But what caught my attention was my Lilou top. Look what I found!

Ask Your Mom How To Do Your Laundry!

AHAHA!
