BROTHER'S WEDDING: WHAT I WORE

After almost 2 months since my brother's wedding, the photos are finally ready!

Unfortunately haven't got many close-up shots of my outfits as I had hoped for - obviously because I was not the one getting married on this occasion ha!

So had to select some group photos...

First outfit for wedding dinner at Concorde Hotel, Kuala Lumpur:

Michael Kors black dress, clutch bag, tie-dye heels and bangle - all 3 from ALDO

Second outfit for church wedding reception at Wesley Methodist Church, Penang:

Dress from MANGO, nude shoes BCBG Max Azria

Not quite pleased with the dress as it kept creasing after I sat down, poor quality but pretty colour nonetheless.

And my third and final outfit for the wedding dinner at Traders Hotel, Penang:

French Connection silk dress, Zara strappy heels (unfortunately covered by my dress!), accessories from Forever 21

It was my first time being an MC (Mistress  of ceremony) at an event! Thank god I had my more experienced cousin brother as my partner in crime...

And as tradition goes, the single girls lined up for the wedding bouquet throw.

Guess I'm not next to get married anytime soon ha!

We're next! Haha

It was a bit of a task getting my outfits together before the wedding - probably took up most of the space in my luggage bag! But it was worth it, it's not everyday that I get to dress up!

More friend's weddings to attend, time for the shopaholic in me to start keeping an eye out for outfits!

Happy days x

Okay, time to go ogle at some awesome swimmer bodies on TV.
Go Team GB!

ANOTHER DAY OFF = MORE COFFEE & SHOPPING

As predicted by BBC Weather (which sometimes lies), the weather today was lovely, exactly what spring should look like. Ditching my dreary clothes, I rummaged for something more vibrant and picked my bright yellow Forever 21 dress to get into the mood.

My bedroom looks a bit like a warzone at the moment as I started packing away most of my clothes - years of shopping have resulted in a rather unhealthy heap of clothes, some with the price tags still attached (oops).

I've also started building up my (not-so) mini pile of clothes which I have labeled as the 'eBay pile' - basically stuff that I'm planning to try auctioning off on eBay. I don't think I'm going to manage to get through the whole pile before I leave, so I may try looking into the car boot sale option later on!

Dropped off a couple of winter coats at Johnsons Cleaners to get them de-germed before I pack them away during the summer months. I was a bit hesitant to leave my lovely Vivienne Westwood coat in the hands of a stranger - they better hand her back to me in pristine condition!

Good times together :)

Being off work is obviously not doing my credit card any good. As all my shopping ventures seldom end with me empty-handed, I bought a pair of GEOX casual comfort shoes - the shoe that breathes! I think mum would be pleased with my decision as she was nagging about me not wearing 'practical shoes' last time. And I only paid a fraction of the original price for it at one of my favourite shopping outlets which you all should know by now ;)

I have really broad feet and wearing my numerous pairs of cheap New Look pumps aren't really doing them any good, so it's important to invest in good quality shoes.

While heading to the cashdesk, I got distracted (as usual) by the dress aisle and picked up a slinky black Michael Kors dress - tried it on and as predicted my credit card got another beating. My excuse: a potential wedding dinner dress? x

I popped back into La Bottega Milanese for a quick coffee before I headed back home, this is probably going to be one of my favourite spots in the very short time I have left in Leeds. Today I tried the cappuccino, usually priced at 1.95 but because it was happy hour it was only 1.25 (woohoo!). 

I also packed home a 'Rum baba' which I wanted to try the other day - a yeast cake soaked in rum which also had some nutella filling. 

Random food bargain blurb: Yogurt lovers, if you think 2 for 3.00 pounds is a good offer, Rachel's Organic Yogurts are only a pound each at Morrisons!

Yummy

Ok, fun-time over, I better get off and practise my violin before Iveta kills me!

If only I looked this enthusiastic all the time!
