Those Darling Details

REFINED AND RAISED VERY WELL, the Raoul woman owes its finesse to its parents: husband-and-wife design tandem Douglas and Odile Benjamin.

Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin, please adopt me.

That Retail Therapy

MADE UP FOR LOST SHOPPING OVER THE WEEKEND. New books, new shoes, new skirt, new makeup, even new socks. Yes, I wear socks now.

Feeling quite guilty actually as I'm supposed to be saving for our trip. And for furniture. And a new bag. But it's so easy to be sidetracked when you live a few steps away from a shopping mall. Or rather, 4 shopping malls.

Thought I'd still be itching to shop some more over the week but surprisingly, I'm not! Guess you just have to give in to temptation sometimes to be able to shake the urge off.

Just make sure you can deal with the guilt.


Nothing new for you Kitty.
