This is #MyNewNormal

05.23.2021 by Leah //

434 days have passed since the Philippines announced the #ECQ #lockdown starting March 16 last year, and here we are - still at it.  The community quarantine classifications have been modified so many times already but because I am praning, I still behave and move around as if we are still under ECQ.

Longtime readers of my blog know that I heart everything Cath Kidston, and that I've bought most of my CK items online.  Thanks to my Cath Kidston sisters Ellen and Diane, who are also avid CK collectors and online shoppers like me, I was able to get the mugs, bags and other CK accessories that I like - straight from the UK shop. Even when the first Cath Kidston opened in ... READ MORE

Bag Crush: Cath Kidston’s Bowler Bag

Online Shopping Experience: Dream Tomica x Hello Kitty Collab

04.18.2016 by Leah //

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm going to share with you my recent online shopping experience with Amazon.com and Johnny Air Plus, which was triggered by my desire to complete the Dream Tomica x Hello Kitty cars collection.
