The Jman and I have a weakness for beautiful homeware, which makes shopping at David Jones a pain in the bum because they have an amazing collection of exquisite pieces at their city store and it takes an extraordinary effort to pull myself away from the shelves, especially when there’s a 50% sale going on.
Last night’s trip, however, saw us trawling the floors of DJ for some gorgeous bedlinen and dining ware. We managed to pick up a silver tray for Mom, a new 600-threadcount quilt cover (pure luxury!), new pillowcases, and had our eyes set on a Monique Lhuillier dinner setting that we’ll buy for ourselves (it’s going to be our couple set) once we’ve moved into our new pad.
We’re only 1 month away from our wedding. Time is just going to pass us by so quickly! Although seriously, I’m more interested in this home improvement thing. 
This blog has pretty much died and gone to blog heaven. If not for the fact that Mish reminded me that I hadn’t posted here in a long time, I’d have forgotten that this blog existed! Nevertheless, nothing that a good chat on Google or Facebook can’t fix – I am back, but only for a while.
Life has been, as usual after a long silence, hectic to say the least. Endless task lists, people to catch up with, errands to run, and…*insert drum roll here* the upcoming wedding!
Apart from that, I have had the pleasure (or misfortune) of indulging my shopaholic senses. It’s June and tis the season for all sorts of mid-year clearances, stocktakes, GSS…you name it, it’s there. I’m now looking forward to heading back to Singapore in three weeks to partake in the whirlpool of Singaporean consumerism.
While trawling the shops today, I walked into L’Occitane after receiving an email alert this morning that they were having a 50% sale. As with my entire L’Occitane collection, this is the ONE time I go nuts in the store and stock up on all sorts of delicious body scrubs, baths, perfumes, masks and so on. There is something unmistakeably pampering about lathering up in deliciously-scented crushed grape bath soap and slathering on cherry-blossom moisturizer after, then going to bed smelling like a fruit tree that’s gone all schizo.
So here are my purchases for today…
I also bought a tube of anti-water-retention body cream for goodness knows what reason but heck, it was ten bucks and I couldn’t resist.
