Malaysian Clothes Haul

Image
Now who does not love clothes? In Malaysia, this has been my chance to buy a lot and I mean A LOT of clothes. I spent my time at high street shops such as H&M and Forever 21 because they DON'T HAVE THEM WHERE I LIVE. So I need to make the most of it. Just a little side note, all of the prices are all in ringgit which is the Malaysia currency. I'm going to share with you some of the things that I have bought and also how I would wear them in my daily life. Hope you enjoy! Item Bought:  I went to Forever 21, saw this tank, caved and bought it. If you haven't worked it out yet it is a Star Wars tank, featuring R2-D2 and the back has the Star Wars logo.  Store: Forever 21 Price:  RM40 Paired with: rolled up black jeans and maroon pair of flats. The flats for me add a little feminine touch.   Item Bought:  My mum was so angry at me for going all the way to Malaysia and then shopping at Cotton On HAHA. I mean I went for a little browse and saw this ...

January: Read, Reading and To Be Read

Image
Hello! This is actually the books I've read in December but I'm being cheeky and uploading it in January hehe. Hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas/New Year and that 2016 brings you all the best. Read The book I have read is Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. I've spoken about this in my book haul and well it is quite a good book. Picoult's writing is so intricate that it continues with such a rhythmic flow that it's impossible to not enjoy her writing. This book is about Delia, who lives a charmed life. She lives with her daughter, her father and is soon to be married to her fiance, Eric and alongside them, their best friend, Fitz. Soon she learns that the life she holds dear, is not the whole truth. Her father gets arrested for kidnapping Delia from her mother when she was younger. Delia comes to learn that she's not really Delia but is actually Bethany who's mother didn't die when she was four. This is not the typical book that I would us...

Malacca - The Small Town that Is

Image
I've been on holiday in Malaysia for a little while and whilst being in Malaysia I've left the capital city of Kuala Lumpur (KL) and gone to Malacca with some family. Malacca is a small town by the sea, south of KL and was an army town back in the 1500's but now it's more of a tourist location. And despite being a small town, the place is still always congested and there's people everywhere. If you're into historical things and sightseeing than this would be perfect for you. However if you're worried that there are no metropolitan shops; there are. There is a shopping mall in the city area. I stayed at the Hatten Hotel which is a lovely 4 star hotel. There is a television in the room and the bed is really comfy and the service is moderately quick. They're also really safe, not letting you access any other floors other than your own. I would NOT recommend driving anywhere in this place. There is no parking and it is always congested. We went out and what...

Really Great Nail Polish

Image
I do not wear a lot of nail polish because I am the laziest person in the whole world. My experience with most nail polishes is that they don't stay on my nails and after two days or so, they all scratch off so I essentially find it pointless. However, I got this as a gift for Christmas and this is different from any nail polish I've ever owned. First of all it's a light colour which is not usual for me. I rather wear a dark colour because I feel as if light colours don't compliment my skin tone. But I was unusually suprised by how nice this colour looks on my skin. This light purple nail polish is absolutely stunning. I would advise with any nail polish that you paint it on in the night and when you wake up, it has dried fresh and hard. This nail polish dries in very gel like and hard. I've found that you do have to put a generous amount on as it is a light colour but that just ensures that it stays on nice and doesn't peel off. It has been 4 days since ...

2016's ULTIMATE TBR

Image
You know those books that you want to read that you've placed at the back of your mind? You've either got the books on your shelf or every time you go past the library or a book store you remind yourself that you've got to pick that one up and then go and pick up another book. Well I understand. I've got a whole bunch of books that I have been telling myself I need to read and then never read. I've had a load of time on holiday to think about what I want to read (see picture below) so, really more for my own benefit, I have compiled a list of books/series that I want to read in 2016. Maybe next year around this time I'll let you know which one's I've read and not read! 1. The Maze Runner Series by James Dashner  To be quite frank, I really did not give much of a care for this book series until recently. I went to my cousin's house and they were saying we should watch the movie version, being all "It's really good! You should watch...

Book Haul

Image
Now that my exams are over, I've been doing a catchup on all the reading I should've done over the year. I got a job solely so I can buy more books. Which I have obviously been doing. Firstly I would like to point out that you don't have to always buy books at an expensive price. A lot of these books I've bought from second hand stores. The book depository, which I'm sure you've heard of if you love reading, is essential for buying books new for a cheaper price and they do free postage! So if you really want new books for a cheaper price then the book depository is the way to go. I bought all these over a range of different places, some second hand some new. But it doesn't  matter they're all books after all. Unlucky Break - Kate Forster  I've read this book before last summer but I picked up a copy from Good Sammy's because I loved it so much I wanted a copy. It's about a girl who's mother passes away so she moves in with her a...

Favourite Beauty Products in 2015

Image
This year is slowly coming to an end, which is insanely hard to believe because I feel as if it's just started. It's been a year of using new products all over the place which is beneficial to everyone! So without further ado, here are some of my favourite products this year. Smith Street Scented Body Cream  I usually hate anything that includes rubbing cream on my body. It makes me feel gross and so sticky so I just avoid it and let my legs look incredibly dry. The brand Smith Street however, is so smooth and airy that I can use it without feeling like BLEH. It's such a nice cream and I've also tried the body wash and I really like them too. I love how they have a little story on the front of all their products. I don't know where to get this from (which is kind of bad because I don't know how to re-purchase it now) because someone bought this for me. I have two in the scents of cherry and pineapple. I probably like the cherry one more because it just ha...
