Soft Saturday Diaries Part 2: Marks & Spencer

 


If you're just tuning in, this is Part 2 of my Soft Saturday Diaries. Here's Part 1.


Marks & Spencer

After Mango, I went to M&S to buy something. But of course, I didn't stop there. I went to the toiletries section (that I love) to check out a few things and then to the food section. 

How adorable is this scented candle?!



I was debating whether to get this, but decided not to as we still have a lot of snacks at home. 

Advent calendars! When my son was younger, we always did Advent calendars when December rolled around. But my version didn't involve sweets. 

These are new to me. I didn't know that M&S carries cereal now! And those milk and choco hazelnut pillows have caught my eye. Maybe I'll try them next time. We don't eat a lot of cereal at home. 

We've been shopping at M&S since I was a kid, but I never looked at the clothes even as a young adult. They're just too big for me! But now that I've filled in, I was giddy to look at the clothes. 

Here are a few things I'm gonna do a closer look of (maybe even try on) the next time I go there. Clothes weren't my goal that day, that's why I just took photos to remind me what to try on next time. 


And yes to that black dress, too! 

I really wanted to try this, but thought that I haven't even worn my new navy blue button down yet. Next time. 

This mustard shirt is the first thing that caught my eye, but I got the green instead. I'll come back for this color. I like a good mustard shirt. These shirts are comfy when traveling. 

It looks like this on the mannequin,

 Look how gorgeous their holiday carriers are! I always look forward to M&S' holiday carriers. They're always beautiful. I immediately took this picture after paying at the till and sent it to my mom. She loves their holiday carriers, too! 

Charles & Keith

My day wouldn't be complete without dropping by my favorite bag and shoe store. 


I am loving that red bag, but I already have a burgundy bag. Maybe next time.  

One of these bags went home with me. ❤️

The fur strap is cute. And I showed the photo to my bestie. But we both agreed that they'd be really ugly when they get dirty. 😆

But, who knows? I may not be able to resist that gray one! 😆

I had to leave the red bag, but this pair of shoes did come home with me

Stay tuned for Part 3 of my Soft Saturday Diaries.

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
