Off to the beach!

Really want to see the sea and countryside after squeezing with everyone in Oxford Circus to buy and collect stuff!

(I still didn’t manage to get everything I listed cos of the crowds… Blame the Indian summer weather we’re having now!)

Roadtrip today to Southend on sea! I’m ready for some seafood and salty breeze!

birthday shopping list

Not a lust-list. Just things I am planning to get but never got round to actually purchasing yet. I guess my birthday is the perfect opportunity to buy them all!

~~1. Cranium WOW game - thanks to Jin and SY!~~

~~2. Either BAIES or ROSES - I didn’t know which to get or should I get both? Not forgetting a perfect cloche to add to the ambience. Of course from Space NK to get points~~

~~3. Chanel Allure (the only scent I’ve loved for years. Thank my mom for influencing a young 15 year old mind!)~~

4. YSL Rouge Pur Shine Sheer Lipstick SPF15 (as recommended by Victoria Beckham) – I know first hand how YSL’s lipstick textures are amazing with pigmented colours. But I need to figure out what my next shade is gonna be!

5. YSL Touche Eclat - strangely enough I’ve never tried this despite all the hype. In a way I feel like I have enough to do in the morning without an extra step but now that work is starting I think I need extra help in the mornings!

i stepped into a 2.55

literally.

For those not in the know, Chanel has taken over Harrods London for the next three weeks! Of course I had to go, and can I just say awesome?

I went to the Chanel pop-up store with all the amazing RTW, bags and costume jewellery; walked all round Harrods just to see every window display and also visited the Une Promenade (nearly a museum dedicated to all things Chanel) on the third floor.

HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Seeing all the Chanel-themed windows outside Harrods.

2. Walking into a garden with a Chanel gardening can! I went a bit crazy over this. I would totally pick up gardening if I had the can!

3. Watching how a 2.55 is made with all the amazing detail and hearing the workshop sounds in the room. The logo at the back is exactly the logo on the bag – loveeeeee!

4. Coco and Karl nursery – the teddy bears were wearing Chanel outfits. Real Chanel too, with the chain-lined hem of the cardigan. I wanted to be a bear!

5. Seeing the quintessentially Harrods green shopping bag being mixed with Chanel signs. It isn’t cheap though, £1830! Almost the price of a flap. But of course, it’s essential for Chanel collectors, non?
