Do you remember the COACH handbag I got as “new baby” gift from Hubby late last year?
A couple of months ago, I took the handbag out of its dust bag where it was lovingly stored in my wardrobe and started using it as an everyday bag.
ALI SIGNATURE LARGE HOBO HANDBAG – MAHOGANY
I love the way [...]

Why you should visit the Maternity Exchange in Singapore

If you read my fashion frustrations either as a pregnant stay-at-home Mother or a pregnant full-time working Mother, I bet you’re in the same boat when you’re pregnant too i.e. wearing ONLY 5-7 maternity dresses or suits to get you through the week or start stealing from the Hubby’s wardrobe!
It isn’t really a problem if [...]

Breastfeeding: Which nursing style clothes for me?

If you’re an L- or XL-sized Mum like me, you’d probably understand how DIFFICULT it is to shop for clothes in “petite-sized” places like Malaysia. What more when you’re pregnant and later, breastfeeding when you’ve got to “upsize”!
When I breastfed my boy more than 3 years ago, I had no breastfeeding or nursing clothes because:

Only [...]

REVIEW: Hot Milk Her Playfulness Was Captivating Nursing Bra

I’d recently received the Hot Milk Her Playfulness Was Captivating nursing bra, which I bought from Maternity Exchange (Singapore) for SGD89.90.
Hot Milk is a New Zealand brand of maternity and nursing bras that DO NOT look like nursing bras
Instead, these nursing bras are lacy, pretty and sexy with names like Her Midnight Charm [...]

REVIEW: Triumph Nursing Bra

Now that I am doing some serious shopping for nursing tops and nursing bras, I thought it’d be useful to share my experiences with Mums (new or old).
When I started breastfeeding a few years ago, I was prepared to stay at home when my contract ended but then I was offered a new job contract [...]

Shoe shopping with Google Adsense US$100

Remember my post about my failure to cash out my first US$100 with Google Adsense? After all the packing and preparing to come home, unpacking, getting the tot settled into a new kindergarten, calling up the carpenter/electrician for home repairs and renovations etc., I remembered that it’s the end of the month already!
True enough, I [...]

REVIEW: Bravado Essential Maternity Nursing Tank Top

As an XL-sized breastfeeding Mum, I always have trouble finding suitably sized nursing bras. Thus, I got interested in the Bravado Essential Maternity/Nursing Tank Top (sold by Mom4Life).
I like the way the tank top’s (in Chocolate) mix of 100% cotton and stretchy Spandex feels so cool and comfortable.
Not easy finding clothes with such nice material [...]

Choosing a COACH handbag…

After this super-fast shopping spree at the KLIA Coach boutique, Hubby has probably marked that area as a “DANGER ZONE”. You see, I NEVER thought of buying a Coach handbag and merely popped into the outlet for a peek at the prices…
I’d been eyeing the Coach Black & White Signature Stripe Tote Bag (Medium) [...]

Show me the money, Google Adsense!

I was ecstatic when I FINALLY saw my Google Adsense earnings reaching the US$100 threshold. After monetizing my blog for 3 years, it’s time to reap the benefits BUT I can’t withdraw my money!!!
Since I’m not in Malaysia, I decided to go for Western Union Quick Cash (free and payment available the next day). Payment [...]

I Have Nothing to Wear!

While this is a woman’s classic line, it is true for the pregnant woman. When my largest pair of pants got too tight and I’d started to “steal” Hubby’s comfy t-shirts, he thought it’s time I went shopping!
Since I only need clothes for the first two trimesters (my stash is at home),I tried to look [...]

Fashion for maternity

I was a full-time working Mum when I was pregnant so looking good in a corporate environment was important. As my job involved meetings with senior managers, visitors and vendors, I still wanted to be taken seriously even though I’m nauseous or ravenous 24-7.
Thankfully, my sister and my friend gave me bags and bags of [...]

Vote for my boots!

In December, we’re going to a cold, snowy place where it’s around 5 degrees Celcius. As it’s sort of a business trip, my New Balance running shoes just don’t seem right for dinner, which means I get to buy a pair of boots.
Here’s my dilemma: My shoe size is 39 while the average in China is [...]
