Shopping: Urban Outfitter

Want the fashion without the thousand dollar tag? there are a few shops that offers knockoffs or trends at cheap or affordable price: Target, Forever21, Victoria's Secret and Urban Outfitter.

Urban Outfitter is not exactly cheap, but it's my first destination for cute legging/rights, chic and quality shoes/bags, and chic gadgets. The quality of most clothe and accessories are just ok, you can get the same style at Forever21 for a lot less. However, it is difficult to find fashionable shoes/tights that are comfortable and high quality, and Urban Outfitter is my go-to store for those. Posted below are my favorites, not endorsed in any way by UO.

Urban Outfitter:


  • Sheer Dot Full-feet Tights: a subtle way to add a little fun/cuteness to your outfit.
  • V Stripe Light Nylon: tired of the old flower/fishnet patterns? here's classy and office appropriate, or pick a bright color and have fun.
  • Satin Bow Heel by Jane A. from Sea of Shoes: pretty in pink, or black. Lady-like heels to add instant elegance/cuteness to the outfit.
  • Multi-watch Bracelet: it's like a charm bracelet except consist of 4 watches. You will never lose track of time again. =P
  • Deux Lux Tassel Bucket Bag: where else can you find a gorgeous leather bucket bag in navy? the leather and zipper makes this cute and edgy.
  • Dolce Vita Suede Over-The-Knee Boots: over-the-knee boots are in, and they are warm. This give you a nice lift with a heel but is still comfortable. And it looks classy instead of hooker-ish.
  • Jeffrey Campbell July Wedge: Gorgeous blue shade, and a heel that can be dressed up or down. Something that brightens the most blah outfit.
  • Sam Edelman Zoe Boot: the real balenciaga boots is to die for, with a price tag to stay away for. This is the closest to it, and slightly more wearable. That is, if you have a couple hundred to spend.


  • Eskuche 33 1/3 Headphones: old-school coolness. Cool/expensive looking headphones. And it sounds good.
  • Headphonie Speaker: there once was a little girl, who fell in love with this speaker. She found it for <$10 elsewhere and so she bought it there. It was broken after it was opened. The girl was sad and bought it from UO instead for the full price. It worked loud and well everafter. I was surprised by the quality and loudness of the sound. And it's portable. Want a personal speaker? buy it. From here.
  • USB Feather: a 2GB USB that doubles as a bookmark? maybe? Either way, a chic way to store your data.
  • Siamese Cat Lamp: Since I'm not allowed to keep pets here, this is the next best thing.
  • Burger Bento Box: for the burger lovers who makes their lunch on weekdays. Better than brown paper bag no?
  • Animal Kingdom Toothbrush Holder: makes getting up in the morning a little more bearable. And the suction cup = more counter space for other stuff. The panda has blush on, tehee.

Let the adventure begin

Finally, I have joined the world of self-broadcasting.

According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, adventure is an activity that is perceived to involve risky, dangerous or exciting experiences.

An adventure could be a relaxing escape to paradise, a thrilling action packed trip, or simply enjoyment of little things you usually don't notice or think about. It could be trying a new recipe, discover a new fantastic blog/shop, or go outside with an outfit that you dearly love but never really had the courage to wear.

This blog will be a record of adventures, simple recipes for delicious food, blog/shops I discovered, beauty in little things that make me smile and gorgeous things I can only dream of owning. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. =)
