Winter in Korea Travel Essentials

Your Korean visa was already approved! What to do next? Shopping, of course! Traveling to Korea in December means it's winter season over there. Good thing, DH is used to winter season having lived in Canada for several years. He knows what to bring e.g. travel essentials. We shopped a few days before we left for Korea. 

I want to share with you the items that saved my dear life from the winter cold. Think  negative 15 degree celsius! 

Note that some of the items pictured here were bought in Korea. Nothing beats Korean products, it's inexpensive and stylish! I <3! 

bonnets, hat & earmuffs

DH shopped for his bonnet in Bench. I bought a bonnet and a hat in Korea for PhP1, 040 (W26, 000). The earmuffs, I got it for only PhP400 (W10, 000).

Hi! 

Someone informed me that some unscrupulous online sellers are using my photos to scam other people. Please be warned that I don't sell online stuff especially branded bags. These bags for my own personal collection. 

If you have found any of my photos online kindly inform me through my Facebook fan page. 

Thanks

Alright, guys, girls and gays! I have made my very first purchase of a Louis Vuitton bag. This is a very exciting entry. I hope you are as enthusiastic as me as I write down my experience shopping for my very first LV. You might want to check out how to spot a fake Louis Vuitton here.

Here is a little trivia... I started my blog in 2008 with a post about Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch. Now, three years later I still have not bought an Eva Clutch. BUT I got an LV Monogram Canvas Tivoli GM (M40144) instead. For me, it is a better choice. Thanks to the keen eye of DH who spotted the bag straight out of the show room.

You all know I went to Hong Kong. I have been there several times but it was only in our recent trip that the itinerary was purely shopping! Yes, you read that right... S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G ; p

Marks & Spencer: Chocolate Cornflake Mini Bites

Extremely Chocolatey Chocolate Cornflake Mini Bites

DH and I got this Marks & Spencer Extremely Chocolatey Cornflake Mini Bites from a friend as a Christmas gift. I know right? Just saying it is a mouthful. It's really chocolatey good! A bucket consists of crunchy cornflake covered with chocolate. One bar isn't enough. I try to control myself so I eat 2- 3 bars in one seating hehe Oh yeah, there goes my diet! The whole bucket didn't even last for a week. I have to thank DH for that because he ate two thirds of it haha

Gift Ideas: Marks & Spencer Rockin Penguin Tin

by Marks & Spencer PhP350

I saw this cute Penguin Tin on display in Marks & Spencer in Shangri-la Plaza Mall last Friday. What's unique about this penguin is that after you finished eating the jelly candies inside, you can keep the penguin case and put it on display. Push it lightly and it bounces back and forth. Kids will surely love playing with it. And it's a perfect Christmas gift too!

Recycle: Marks & Spencer gift pack container

gold theme

I got the gold wavy M&S Christmas container a couple of years ago. Instead of throwing the container in the trash, I used it to hold our perfumes. It goes well with our gold clock and our gold picture frame lol

Let's talk about U-N-D-I-E-S

When I went to a local Marks & Spencer shop to buy an underwear, I noticed that the store's lingerie section was on SALE- Pay 1 at regular price and buy the next 1 at half the cost! Lucky me and for my DH too! For he is the one PAYING hehe

I was also amazed at how many style, shapes and colors were available. Upon entering the shop, I already had in mind what I wanted to buy- it's a boxer panty and in basic colors like beige, black & white. I know *rolling eyes* boring colors but I would not wear undies without matching it with the color of my bra, SILLY! And basically, I like those three colors for it's easier to match with what I am wearing for the day which is BASIC- simple, Yeah, right!

I bought ten of these hehe

I love the comfort and the fit of these cottony soft undies that I can't get enough. After contempleting for three consecutive days and hoping that the store is still on sale, I went back and this time I was thinking of changing my old sleep undies. You wouldn' t think that I use the same undies for going out and at night, DUH! Shame on you! Good thing that the store was still on sale and have enough stock left and the color that I want to have...Yup, yup, you got it right... beige, black & white. And yes, the size! I wouldn't tell you what size I got but always remember that I am practicing Bikram Yoga, Namaste! *wink*
