Chinese royal motif tin jewellery box


I'm a bargain hunter, no doubt about that.
But really, these 2 beautiful tin boxes were sold at such a ridiculously low price.
 


 The yellow one is a design like what one would find on a royal silk robe.
The blue, has celestial dragons throughout .

Since when did snakes get this cute ?


Not really, unless you get yourself a toy plush,
instead of a nasty live specimen

 
No bites, totally venomless.

Tribal Bracelet


Mighty pleased with this.
The tiny bells let off a pleasant tinkle that makes my heart so glad and happy . But it was the velvety blood red colour that caught my eye. I had to have it. Blood red !
Picked it up from a trader from China who was eager to sell off his wares.

Don't you just love the megasale ?

Malaysia Megasale - great for gift shopping



Went shopping for my 2nd blog giveaway today.



You know how the market is flooded with inferior china made handbags and shoes these days?
Even branded European luxury products have joined the bandwagon.
Shows in the zips and stitching.
That's why I prefer to get a Malaysian brand.
Ours are better, both in quality and looks.
One lucky blog follower is getting this.

Rock Shop - Hard Rock Hotel Penang



Huge planters greet the shopper on the lookout for a Hard Rock souvenir to either take home or wear themselves.
All time bestselling merchandises, if you don't already know,
comprise of t-shirts and collector's pins.




Each section carries a different collection.
Yea, this scene, brings stars to my eyes.
If I could, I'd like to tapau everything but ouch, my pocket lining is shallow you know ? Must control.

Window shopping at Westfield Stratford


You can put this place on top of your must visit list.

Felt as if the whole of London was having a ball in this very large, current and happening shopping complex




One could feel the spirit of the games immediately. Every shop window carried their own take on the Olympic theme



Shirts literally flew off the shelf . The most expensive ones, especially the official Team Britain athletic shirts were impossible to find anymore.



This display pretty much sums up how hot Olympic themed merchandise was in here


Aha ! Something in this window has caught my eye



It's a solar queen doing the royal wave !

Hilarious ! Are their royals sporting or what ?


Massive Apple store ....




...even drew in these 3 soldiers




Patriotic and supportive of their own team, this kids luggage bag is dedicated to Team GB




Flags and tea features at the Lakeland store 2 levels up




Evergreen bestsellers these




Found these DIY bears at the basement


Waiting to be picked, stuffed and dressed with plenty of cash on the side of course!
(Think there was a store similar to this in Debenhams KL but I'm not sure if it's still around today)





Location : Westfield Stratford City, East London

Pandora - Olympic Charm Series



Pandora charm bracelets are a worldwide hit thanks to clever marketing strategies as well as celebrity endorsement.

In the northern region, they can only be found on the ground floor of Gurney Plaza, next to Habib jewels.

In commemoration of the Olympics event this year,they have issued 3 new designs . 2 silver charms and a Murano glass bead inspired by the colours of the Union Jack .





The silver and enamel London bus, makes my eyes twinkle.




While the second bears the Union Jack on one side.....



.....and 2012, on the other side .

While this can be considered as one of those never to be repeated designs, upon closer inspection I see alot of scratches on the surface where the year is.




Solid evidence.

I gave in to temptation.....




Ended up with the cute little London bus charm, dwarfed by the massive paper bag and ribbon




Do try to get a polishing cloth with anti tarnish, from them.

Works wonders in buffing up the shine on your bracelet.

Myanmar Jade, bought from an Italian


He's from Milan and he runs a flea market stall here in Penang hawking gemstones .

I couldn't believe my eyes when I first picked the Myanmar jade up.

" How much is this ? "

"$45"
