Good Bargains!

I always like to go to the bazaar at The Curve because there's a lot of unique, good stuff that you can find over there.

Plus, most of the things, from garments to accesories, all come at a good price and you can even bargain to get a futher markdown!

So, today I went there to get a pressie for Hanisah's birthday and while searching for the perfect gift, I took the opportunity to find some interesting stuff for myself as well :)

Here are the things that I bought;

1. Check Bag (Original Price: Rm39.90, After bargain:Rm35)

I'm so into checks right now because of its laid-back, casual style. It looks very effortless and rugged. I even bought a classic check shirt a couple weeks ago.

Though, what I like most about this bag is, its vintage-preppy style. Definitely one of a kind.

My sis, modelling the bag. It can also be a messenger bag.


2. Silver Plated Pendant (Price: Rm20)

This pendant came all the way from Spain yet the price is sooooooooo cheap!! Usually, this kind of pendant will at least cost you around Rm30+. I like the craving on the surface, it looks vintage but at the same time, it has the rock glam element.








3. Keychains (Price: guess how much I bought those :) )


The price is beyond reasonable *clue*. I like it because it looks funky and if you are creative enough, you can actually turn it into a pendant as well.

Today, I bought....


1. Next by Michael Crichton.

I'd usually go for chick-lits except for Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter as chick-lits
are light, uncomplicated, predictable and for sure, always have happy endings.

Though, today, I dared myself to take a risk and bought this sci-fic/thriller book or what shall I say, a mind-boggling, thought-provoking, intellectual book.

Basically it's a satirical, black comedy thriller, about a bunch of mad people chasing this family for their valuable genes for something to do with biotech.

However, what's caught my interest to buy this book is when I read;

"Is a loved one missing body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Has a human already cross-bred with a monkey?" and also about a talking ape in Borneo.

Interesting. And geeky.

2. A preppy style shirt

I always like preppy style.

It simply creates the image of you looking smart, classic, sophisticated and it totally sets out the don't-mess-with-me kind of vibe (Think Blair Waldorf).Though, it can make you look geeky and nerdy as well if you don't know how to style it.

So, I went to Labelz and saw this classic preppy shirt. I liked it so much and bought it without trying.

The consequence?

When, I tried it out at home, the sleeves, turned out to be a lil bit too tight.
:(

So, no choice and have to sell it (Am selling it at rm33). Wanna buy?

Anyway, while on my way to Midvalley, a mercedes infront of my dad's car had a plate name 'TAH10'.
What a waste.
