The Wrap Polo

The other day, when I was browsing at my favourite store- Ralph Lauren (of course)- I came across this lovely wrap polo!

Is it not just sooo lovely? It is classically preppy, but girly with its ballerina-like twist of a wrap! I mean, we all love the polo shirt for being the epitome of preppiness, but one can only have so many skinny polo shirts in multiple colors right? So of course, I HAD to have it. Luckily for me, it was on a 30% off sale! But even MORE lucky for those of you in the states, they're currently $38 on the RL site! So go check it out!

And might I add that the RL model is SO right, and that the pink mesh wrap polo looks especially lovely with white pants! For myself, I matched it the other day with my new white pants by Lux from UO. These are amazing white pants btw, and puuurfect for summer!

Duty Free Shopping at Heathrow

Hi people, I'm finally back home and not very much enjoying the terribly humid and hot weather here. Not to mention that my computer is, oh horror of horrors, NOT working *shrieks in fustration and hits the computer pointlessly*. (I'm using my sister's comp at the moment, thus being forced to listen to her Japanese learning tapes.)

Anyways, so remember a few days ago I was talking about suitcases and mentioned I was going to Heathrow (London)? Here's what I managed to snag up from the Duty Free at Heathrow:

Yuppie, one of my must-have cult products, the lovely YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch. It does everything its description says. It's brilliant at lightening dark or 'shady' areas on your face. I esp love using it under my eyes to cover black circles. This is the third tube I have purchased in the short time frame I had started to wear makeup. Plus, there is a reason why all makeup artists love this golden wand.

This is a new try of mine recommended by a makeup-loving friend and loads of makeup review raves, the Lancome Cils Booster XL Super Enhancing Mascara Base. It claims its meant to 'protect your lashes from the damaging ingredients of mascara', (which I don't believe in.) But I had heard that it helps put volume into the lashes so I decided to try it. I am so desperate for beeeautiful long, thick 60s lashes, and am willing layer on the products to achieve it. My quest of finding the ultimate mascara continues... ...

Urban Outfitters Early Fall 2005 Catalog

Wow, it seems like only a while ago that I wrote about my excitement at receiving the Spring/Summer 2005 UO catalog. And now, I'm annoucing the arrival of the Early Fall 2005 catalog (although I know I am slow in this already since I am out of the country at the moment and cannot recieve the catalog asap). Time flies. I'm just getting into the spirit of summer and we're already considering fall!! LOL.

The catalog gives off a very victorian aura what with the flowers and all and of . . well travelling-the gypsy way. And as for the fashion, like the catalog, seems to be a mix of the elegance of the victorians and the vintage of the boho's, with lots and lots of layering. Looks like another very fun season of mix and matching ahead!
