Ikea

Yes, I am guilty... of keeping the Ikea Brochures...and going through them sometimes...

Ok, maybe a lot of times: imagining how the stuff would look like in our future home, tells the husband and asks if we can "look around" @ Ikea. 

Husband says there's no such thing as a "look around" there, only "ah, these look cute, can we get these?" and heads home with a lot of stuff that we practically can live without. 

Oh, Ikea! I'll see you soon!

Mango Loot

Hola!

What were you up to? 

Come to think of it, we are already halfway the month of February! Whoa!

It was Qatar National Sports Day last Tuesday and we did not even leave the house.

I've got some unfinished household chores so that was the only chance that I got to have them all done - so glad that I had them completed and got a little siesta time still :) 

Last week, I was able to visit Mango Shop at Villaggio to grab some office blouses and I got home with some fab items at very good prices! 

Their sale was still on. 

They had renovated their shop and now have a second level though I had a hard time finding something that would fit me. 

My size is S/XS that's why most of the time I order them online but this time Hubby had been so kind to go with me. 

Anyways, I've gone home with 2 tops. Zara's shop is just opposite Mango's and it's currently under renovation. 

I'll be back next month to grab some office trousers since we have the No Jeans Policy now. Awww.

Crabtree and Evelyn

I was just checking out their photos on Instagram and when I visited the Staff Shop, there they are! 
These Crabtree and Evelyn Hand Creams are an absolute find! 
Tell me about dry hands during the cold days. Huhu. 
Stay moisturized! 

Coco Made Me Do It!

Oh...Another shirt crush!!!  Isn't it cute?  You cannot go wrong with a black shirt: pair it with a pair of jeans; a skirt; jazz it up with a chunky necklace or with a neon bag!  Saw this from Romwe. They do have free international shipping.  Hurry up and check their Flash Sale here. 

Zara Love

I totally love this new member of my shoes family.  Haha.  I got these during the sale from Zara and I am starting to love this shop even more.  It's comfy and sexy at the same time.  Their current collection is really great.  Am saving up to get a new wardrobe on their midyear sale. 

SJP's Shoe Line

Hey! Guess what's here! It's Sarah Jessica and her new line up of fab shoes.  Who does not wish of a walk in closet overflowing with clothes, shoes and bags like ala-Carrie Bradshaw?  Was able to check out the designs and I totally adore these. 

I love the color of this pair. 

Nude Pumps should be a staple. 

And so is a strappy pair! 

Love the detailing of this one. 

Bow is sexy...and so is Red!

NYX!

Hello Lovies!

I was all giggly when a friend told me that she got some goodies from City Lifestyle on sale!

These liquid foundations are from NYX, got them for only Qr 10 (less than USD 3).

I love this brand however they don't have some of the colors and collections here.

Shop NYX from City Lifestyle, Al Asmakh Mall.

Mango.com

It's my first time to order some stuffs online from Mango and it was amazing!

In less than a week, my friends and I received the parcels and they were in good condition.

The past few weeks are quite busy and I was able to visit the mall only last weekend to do the groceries before Ramadan.

As usual, it was jam-packed!

I headed to Mango to grabbed the stuffs that I liked but was so frustrated as most of them were not in stock.

Good thing that Mango offers free shipping if you purchase more than QR 500 and the items are still on sale!

My friends and I had decided to order and it was quite a good experience.

The stocks were updated and we had saved ourselves from the hassel of going from one branch to the other just to get the stuffs we need.

I love shopper's bags! You can almost put everything in it! Haha!

Oh, can't wait for the year-end sale!

Mango's Midyear Sale

Hey!

Mango's Midyear Sale is on!

It started off last week and now the prices are even lower.

The good thing about it is that they ship to Qatar and shipping cost is waived off if you buy more than QR 500.

They do have lots of stocks still the last time I checked.

I am eyeing on some accessories, a pair of black shoes and a pair of suit.

You can browse on the available collections on sale here.

XoXo,

Shoe Lover

I love shoes!

Who doesn't?

It was my errands day yesterday: grabbed some stuffs from the grocery store and I got the vouchers for the Loyalty Program in one shopping mall.

The line was bit long and I had waited patiently to get my voucher.

I would like to check if I can get something nice from the mall.

There are times when the collection is not that good and there are times when all of them are.

These are the lovely shoes that I got yesterday and Shoemart do have a nice collection so far.

These are comfy enough for walking and aren't they cute?

They do have it in cyan and melon orange. Awww...

They come in neon green and orange as well but they don't have my size.

XoXo,

Joana

Accessorize

It was another couple of hours well spent with a good friend of mine.

We had spent those hours checking cool accessories in a shop in Royal Plaza.

They have discounts and most of the items are uber nice.

In the end, I got myself lots of headbands, a pair of earrings, a necklace and a bracelet!

The good news is, I did not break the bank!

This would look great on a white shirt. 

Summery! 

Pastel colored bracelet

Blair Waldorf-inspired Headbands :)

Fashion and Beauty Finds from H and M

It was two days ago when my good friend and I went to the Landmark Mall to roam around.

We went to some shops and checked the stuffs.

Most of the collections are already for winter.

I love winter!

That's the reason why most of the summer clothes are already on sale.

I've got these fabulous finds from H & M for at least QAR 20.

These shirts can also be worn with a tailored suit jacket.

I would like to pair the shorts with a burgundy/gray colored tights.

Sleeves shirts and a cool pair of shorts 

This re-usable bag is a winner and you can get it for only QR 21!

Nice print!

Time for some face masks and these fab variants are just so yummy.

Umm, did I say yummy?

They smell sooo good! 

 Make sure to drop by H&M and there are many more great finds just in time for the gifting season!

XoXo,

Mango Fashion

Yay!

The week is over!

Again, another stressful week in the office and as usual, I am always looking forward to the weekend rest and oversleeping.

I came across the Mango Blog and decided to take my own phota (hahaha!).

I always love the green Sunnies, this blue detailed jacket, black suede pumps, Alice Slim Fit jeans and the cutesy bag from them.

The jacket makes me look a little fleshy as I am skinny (I love my body that I am in whatever it is!).

The fit of their clothes suits me just right.

Looking forward to shop again on the year end sale.

We, girls, do not have to break the bank to be a fashionista.

Their mid-year and year-end sales are the events that I am waiting for to grab most of the stuffs I like and love.

So head to the nearest Mango Shop or check their iPad app :)

Happy Shopping Girls!

Joana

In Search of Swimwear

Since summer is coming to an end, my friend and I are looking for a somewhat new pair of swimsuit, something that would suit me (though I've not really gained my required weight).

A common friend of ours got a high waisted one and it was nice! 

She told us that she got it from the Philippines and gave us the shop's name. 

I had checked their site and they do have lovely pairs! 

Check these out.

And oh, they ship internationally (though the shipping fee is a bit costly). 

From Soak Swimwear: 

I love the ruffles! 

The color combination is great! 

Come on, sunshine! 

From I Love Koi: 

Nautica :) 

The classic Black and White combination. 

Magenta and Moss

We are thinking to order online or maybe ask someone to buy them for us from the Philippines.

Love the skin that you're in!

(Window) Shopping Day

Monday was the 2nd day of Eid.

I'll be reporting back to work on Saturday still! Yay!

My friends and I had decided to go window shopping, of course all girls (except for my friend's kid).

You know what they say about shopping with boys so we had decided to go in an all girl group.

If shopping is a sport, I would have a better chance of being a Gold medalist (hahaha).

We had gone to Landmark at around half past 1 pm.

Thanks God it was not crowded.

I already planned on the things that I want to buy which excludes shoes as Hamude might cut off my feet (a girl can't have enough shoes).

I was walking in yellow peeptoes. 

Gold detailed buttons

This is the last piece wheeewww... 

Pink Macaroon Lip Balm from H&M 

Bold Colors from H&M

3 for QR 100 @ Victoria's Secrets 

After almost 3 hours of walking around, we grabbed some snacks from Friday's.

It was such a fun girl bonding day. 

What about you, how did you spend you Eid?

What's your Nail Color?

Yay!

I've been meaning to get myself new nail polish colors but since it's Ramadan, I have work in the morning and the streets are busy at night.

It was last week when my friends and I had gone out together for coffee and I had got a chance to go to the mall.

So, here's my new nail color: Green it is!

Green Toenails

It's from NYX and they've lots of colors.

I got a red one in Matte too.

Below are some of the fab colors that they have.

Mine is green, what's yours? 

So, with all of these shades, which one do you like the most?

For me, I love them all!

XoXo,

Joana
