or

....scary?

Meow~ roar~

Happy Halloween from little Marcus.

What was my costume? I dressed up as a nerdy fat woman who recently gave birth ^_^'

Round Rimmed Specs

I love hiding behind large pair of glasses.

They make my face looks smaller.
They make my eye bags less noticeable.
They make my lousy eye make up not as obvious.

They make me look cooler (at least that's what I hope).

This pair is the latest one I got from Kwai Chung Plaza for HK$38.

Chubby Chic - Travel in Style

I prioritize comfort when I travel, and generally, I don't care about looking stylish in flight.
I admire those who can look super polished, wearing shorts, mini skirts and heels.
My sis doesn't belong to the heels and polished traveler category, but she'd be damned if she's caught traveling anything but in style.

...and for her, it's not only about the outfit.

The bag, the luggage, the hat...everything's gotta be cool.

How about you? How do you travel?

Messy Bob - Classic Hair Cut for New Moms

I love my old hair style...

It's the remnants of the curly short bob I had...

The bit of curls at the end made styling very easy.

Bundle everything into a low bun and I'd get pretty bottom curls.
The fringe is a problem though...the expert stylist knew I cut my own messy fringe the moment he saw it.
Opps...

I had to let the medium length hair go as lil' Marcus can now grab my hair...
Plus, my hair always gets in the way and I have to live with an ugly pony tail most of the time...
So, it's time to do something about it.
The stylist recommended the most popular style for new moms...
...the messy bob.

I know I look better with longer, curlier hair...but this has to do for now :)

Please excuse the grays...I won't be able to do any chemicals until at least 6 months later.

The stylist taught me how to easily replicate what he did...let's see if I could do it ^_^'

Fashion Sighting - Meow

I guess...

...he's a cat person?

Indonesian Baby Carrier - Selendang Batik

If you're Indonesian, chances are...you've spent quite a bit of your childhood being carried in this Indonesian baby carrier, selendang batik.
I think I spent most of my childhood being carried in one...in fact, my old nanny carried me on her back using this selendang while cooking and had my toe burnt by the stove while doing it.
Ah...what fun!

My helper brought one selendang batik with her when she came to work for us...and it has work its magic. Its convenient, it helps us manage the baby's weight on our body, it gives us one free arm, and most importantly...little Marcus loves it! Being carried in selendang batik, he sleeps like...a baby ;)

Ah wells, he's half Indonesian after all :D

...and the batik looks good on papa SC too, eh?

Style Envy - Little Miss Tepi

Have you ever seen someone and thought...gosh, I wish I had her style/body/hair/etc?

That's exactly how I felt when I saw pictures of Tepi, I just had to ask her to guest star in my humble lil' blog.
I love love LOVE her effortlessly chic, quirky sense of style, and her fantabulous curly hair (I'd have to sit for at least 5 hours in a salon to get my hair done that way, and for her, it's au naturel!).

Marcus Is One Month Old Today!

Lil' Marcus is one month old today.

Whew! That's a big thing in Chinese culture...

He gets to wear some jewelries handed down from big SC...

These are real vintage...papa used to wear these!

...and he received new jewelries from grandma too!

...and he's wearing a cool overall from his godfather :)

Marcus is so blessed and so loved :)


The gold and jade bangle from grandma, full of best wishes


But...being a baby...

He does what babies do best, crying. Despite the nice clothes and gifts :D

...as a token of appreciation for all the best wishes and love...

Here's a weird pose for y'all~

Let's compare lil' Marcus to SC when he's one month old...

They have the same double chin :D

Hehehe

Tonight there will be a family dinner celebration...hope Marcus won't be projectile peeing on anyone ;)

Wish us luck!

Chubby Chic - Faux Fur Bagcessory

Miss Chubby Chic is back!...and she's sporting a trend which I found adorable...faux fur bagcessory!

It's cheap (we never do real fur), it's light (I find metal/crystal/hardware bagcessories too heavy!)...

...and it's super cool!

Plus...you can "accidentally" attach it on someone's ass and have a good laugh

Pretty in Pink

I am a sucker for pretty glass and porcelain containers...and look what I've bought!
The two glass containers are from Franc Franc, they were on sale!...and the heart shaped porcelain container with roses is from a random Hong Kong souvenir shop in one of those lanes of Central.
All cheap, they prettify my home (that's not even a word?) and they keep my rubbish... disorganized (as I forgot what I put in them) ^_^'

A Father? A Gamer? Why Not Both?

If your father is an avid gamer...
You're bound to be photographed in silly gears like this...


...or this...


...or this...


...and when you thought crying could get his undivided attention?

Think again!
SC, putting the M in Multitasking.
Capital M.

Current Shoe Lust - Arnold Palmer Red Metallic Kicks

The kicks I am currently lusting over...although I know these aren't so "me".
Love the red, and love them more against my gray wall and my sis' leopard luggage.
How should I wear these to make them "me"? Any ideas?

Arnold Palmer, HK$350, from Sportshouse, also available in silver, gold and purple.

My Polo Boys - Big & Lil' SC

I tried to keep the baby posts minimum...

...but if he's this fierce...


It became a little difficult not to post :D

Lil' Marcus worked his polo tee & the camera.

Now...what is he gonna wear for his one month birthday celebration...mama needs to shop!

As for his papa...


Big SC wanted to wear a blue polo tee to match lil' SC.
Being a father doesn't change a thing, eh?


Both my boys love the camera.

Mama stays behind the camera most of the time...aiya~!

Sequined

Finally! I've always wanted to wear something sequined...
and I love love LOVE this black vest...I was too excited to go out (went to attend a friend's birthday buffet lunch - I am a huge sucker for buffet), I forgot to photograph the back of the vest...it's lace!

z
Kept everything black and gold, with a touch of red.

I know this look is more of a night look than day...but I just couldn't wait to wear something sparkly...

Recent Loot from Before Birth

Some for me, some will be given to my sis, some are intended as gifts to be brought to Indonesia ;)

If I had the heart to part with them of course...

One for you...

One for me, one for me, one for me, one for me :D

They're from H&M, Bershka and Kwai Chung Plaza.
All el-cheapo (mostly around HK$39-59)

Which ones you wouldn't be able to give to others?
