SASA Haul Review


After two weeks of waiting and waiting, our package from SASA finally arrived. First off, for those of you who don't know what SASA is, SASA is a leading Asian cosmetic retailer group in Asia; selling popular brands of skincare, make-up, hair care, body care and fragrance. To learn more about them, visit their website here.
 
SASA is an amazing store filled with great brands we love. They provide great customer service, though we do admit that it is a bit hard to get in contact with them due to the time zone difference. We found the best way to contact SASA's representative is through their Facebook page.

We found Shipping time to be reasonable given that the item is being shipped all the way from Asia to the U.S. It took about two weeks and a signature is required upon delivery. So you must be home to sign for the package. SASA packs their items really nicely, bubbling wrapping and filling the package with peanut fillers to protect the items inside. Below is the picture of the package.

Every Shade Of Green


You can find every shade of green in our outfit post today. Of course, we won't be wearing green today, but tomorrow, we definitely will try to incorporate some green in our outfits (just so we don't get pinched). We are trying to keep it casual this year and add a bit of green here and there. Just enough to make a statement but not stand out in a fashion gone horribly wrong kind of way.

We are loving the green striped tank top under the white blazer with cute green shorts. Oh, and we are loving the green Tory Burch "Reva' Bella Pumps and the David Yurman Wheaton Ring. Tomorrow is probably the only day we can get away with wearing a green top with green shorts in one outfit.

Happy St.Patrick's Day everyone and have an amazing weekend.

Also, don't forget to hop along and join the blog hop at Blog Love Therapy to meet and connect with new bloggers.
