Ferragamo Carla

A new pair of heels in Elephant colour. Hard to capture the colour. Not greyish but more brownish in real life.
I hope these will be easy to match.:D

Balenciaga polka dots

For you Balenciaga fans, the Balenciaga Polka Dots!
Perforated lambskin bag in Tempete and Red. Cute but the practicality of it on rainy days leaves me wondering though...? :D
It kinda reminds me of Louis Vuitton's perforated range, only somewhat cuter.
Comes in the style of City, Kraft and Maxi Twiggy as far as I know.

Pictures shown below are in City.

California Baby Calendula Cream

I started using Gaia for my kids right from the infant stage and was pretty happy with it. So even though another brand, California Baby was very popular, I've not thought of using it.

While in Seoul, the dry weather resulted in very itchy body rashes for me and my friend passed a tub of California Baby cream to me. It was a life saver!

This cream has Calendula extract which reportedly has soothing properties.
The cream is not too thick and gooey. It appears thick when you slap some on but it get absorbed into the skin pretty quickly as you rub it in. It isn't sweet smelling but the smell is definitely not unpleasant as well. Comes in two sizes for the tub, 2oz (about USD12.99) and 4 oz (USD21.49).

Step out in boldness

Why shy away from bright colours when they can liven up your outfit and perhaps your mood?

Little douses of colour would be a safer bet if you are not confident of bright coloured clothes.

Fuchsia sandals from Zara Girls. This will bring to life : a tees and shorts combo;  a tees and ankle length jeans getup Or simply a white summer dress.

Korean Strawberries

I love to eat Korean strawberries as they are mostly sweet!

And as a city dweller all my life, I couldn't have been more thrilled to be able to go for strawberry picking in Korea! This farm is located in Gyeonggi-do (out of Seoul).

Picking strawberries from the greenhouse. It's organic so you can pop into your mouth once you pick them.
We are also allowed to collect the strawberries in the plastic container given to us to bring it back.
You are allowed to bring back as much as the container can contain, the rule is that you must not heap up up till you can't close the lid of the container. :D
Then we were shown the strawberry jam making process and were also allowed to try our hand at it. Hard work! Because you need strength to keep stirring and the heat gets to you after a while.





Enjoying our freshly picked strawberries back in the hotel. Heaven....
