shopaholics shopache

i conclude that most of my colleagues, in their own different and unique way, are seriously addicted to shopping.

me and my deskmate (who is currently stuck at client's office for two solid months, unfortunately) used to spend our lunch hour hurriedly grabbing something to eat - sometimes skipping lunch entirely - just to browse through TopShop, Zara, iSetan, Parkson, or any store that carried cool clothings, accessories and shoes. this friend of mine is really crazy over TopShop, i think we crossed into the store's threshold almost every day until the salespeople recognize us already, lol. one day i wanted to try on a top and the girl at the dressing room said to me, "lame tak nampak" (i had just come back from my 3-week leave). aiyak. i must learn to be more conspicuous next time. haha. i usually get influenced by this friend of mine that whenever she buys something, i end up buying something too (either that, or i end up getting overexcited over some certain item which i initially could do without). yup, she's a clothes and accessiores fan. it's real lucky that Miss Selfridge isn't anywhere nearby. i have another friend also tuned into the same wavelength as her, this time nuts over Zara. i go less nuts there because the smallest size is usually still too big for me. but i love their cardigans though. really soft and nice =D

anyway, since my deskmate is MIA from office, i hang out with another couple of friends of mine, and this is also equally damaging to the purse. instead of clothes and the abovementioned items, these two friends of mine gila cosmetics. ahahahhahahaha. omg, how will i ever stop myself from all these temptations?? the latest craze is Bobbi Brown. they had this promotion going on, so we went a bit nuts over their foundation, powder and blusher. i just bought a foundation and pressed powder because mine is almost finishing (and my friend wanted to get the free gift that you get with every purchase of rm350, so i chipped in a bit and got an rm40 voucher). lately they're nuts into FaceShop. my friend bought a ton of stuff there. i'm lucky i'm not that crazy into skincare, just the basics would do for me, lol. i'm also lucky i'm too tired to follow them to Pavillion during lunch hour, wahahahahha.

the one thing i'm most craziest about that my friends can't top is shoes. omg i can soooo easily fall for a pair of shoes, buy them, and probably regret them later. seriously! i recently bought a couple of shoes from Nose (they're on sale, okay =P). just now passed by Primavera to see if that pair of Clarks i saw last year was on sale (it wasn't) and ended up adding another pair to my wishlist. owh crap. i just remembered my new year's resolution. i think i'm breaking at least half of them. *faint*.

earlier today during lunch i bought two types of mask from Guardian to try. my friend is sooo into face masks. i dunno what the big deal is. i think i'm just the type that wouldn't spend soo much on them i guess. i mean you wear it for a certain amount of time, then you wash off. end of story. i tried a few back when i was still in uni. didn't really feel any big difference. haha. maybe i'm just ignorant. and thanks to this friend of mine, i bought a L'occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream. cheese. browse only konon. wahahahahha. but so far i loike, it's moisturizing and the smell isn't too strong to make me feel nausceous.
