Look! I Got Long Hair!

Posted by girlie on March 10, 2010

Photobucket I was invited by my SIL to go to Hair Asia at the World Trade Center. Of course I was excited, and I bet you know by now why. For those ones who does not have a clue, I am a salon artist in my past life probably. It would be a chance for me to see beauty/salon products.

Anyway I have been sporting short hair since June of last year. In my opinion, my hair grows long really fast but not fast enough for me to curl it. I actually tried but it was quite hard. When I saw this human hair clip on extension, I became excited. But I didn’t buy it right away since I have this habit of buying on impulse. I sat for a few moments (away from the stall) arguing at the back of my mind whether to get it or not. It was actually my SIL’s prodding that made me buy it. She asked the hair technician to try it on me and from there I decided that I want it. I will curl it tomorrow since the family does not want or should I say not used to seeing me with long straight hair.

In My Boyfriend Clothes

Posted by girlie on November 19, 2009

Photobucket I first saw it at Zara’s display window. I think my son has that, and it’s almost exactly the same. I am talking about the shorts here. True enough, when I checked his locker, I found it complete with tag. It was my sister Debbie who gave it to him. Maybe she thinks he is a bit smaller, I can’t blame her, she has not seen Josh in a long time. I think it’s really for me, I look good in it. Oh the top? I really don’t know who owns it, but definitely it’s someone from the family.

Black is Black

Posted by girlie on September 17, 2009

Photobucket Excuse the mess in the background. I’m at my daughter’s room, no I’m not saying that she doesn’t fix her stuff 0_0 . Well I posted that photo because I’ve been really obsessed with black clothes lately. It’s like whenever I go out, you’ll always see me in black. Good thing that in one of my shopping trips over at 168, I found at least 3 simple yet cute black dresses, one that can double up as a top when worn with leggings or something. I just love it, and the best part is I bought it only for two hundred fifty pesos (that’s about $6). It looks similar with that Zara top I’m wearing, the only difference is with the material, well what do you expect, right?

Womens Dresses

Posted by girlie on September 2, 2009

Photobucket I just love this dress. It’s actually a sweater dress, yeah you read it right, a sweater dress. A dress perfect for a cold weather. It’s going to be autumn in countries that experience four seasons and this dress is just right. I love the style too, see the details in front? It hides my unwanted bulges. Who says you can’t dress well with bulges left and right. It’s a matter of choosing the perfect style for it. I actually found that dress while browsing some womens dresses. It caught my attention the first time I saw it online. There are more beautiful dresses that I saw but I limited myself to like only one. I don’t need to tell you the reason why, haha. Anyways, maybe you might want to take a look at these womens sweaters. I browsed through some too since my daughter Ish is fond of sweaters lately. It’s like an addiction to her. Whenever we go to the mall the first section she checks is women’s clothing particularly the sweater section. I wish I had plenty moolah since I found a few womens jackets of my liking. There’s one that I found that I really liked. The cut is just right for my physique, and the color, a nice shade of khaki. Haha I know you are already intrigued by all the descriptions I made, well I am just excited, you know.

The Marni Necklace

Posted by girlie on April 12, 2009

Photobucket Don’t you just love this Marni necklace? I sooo love it. The first time I saw it online, I was like WOW! I want to have it. I love this kind of necklace, I find it unique and quite interesting. Tell me, do you often see this kind of necklace in the places you go to? I’m sure it would turn a lot of heads, mine included. It will surely catch attention because of it’s beauty. I know girls would go gaga once they see this. It’s a statement by itself. Haha notice how I say beautiful things about it. It’s because I have now included it in my wishlist. I’m starting to imagine myself wearing just a plain white tee with my favorite jeans and this neck piece will complete my look! I can even wear it when I attend formal functions. I’m sure it would look great with my little black dress. Dang! I really should have this neck piece. I think every girl who would see this would love to have it. You should see the rest of the Marni collection, it’s just sooo beautiful. I just know that you will love all her accessories. That photo you see above is just one of them.  Just to give you an idea about the designer, she is swiss-born, and she’s based in Milan.  She has a huge following, and I know why.

Hide Those…

Posted by girlie on March 6, 2009

I’ll let you in a little secret…promise don’t share, ok? Did you know that there was a time I wore a corset to hide my flabs? Yeah, the material of the dress was quite clingy, so it was really ugly when the bulges started to show. Solution…I need a solution to hide those unwanted bulges…the answer? Corset! Believe me it works! Now you know part of my body beauty secret.

My “Gossip Girl”

Posted by girlie on December 14, 2008

Photobucket Darling Doll asked me to buy a headband she can use one time. She showed me a picutre of “Serena” (Gossip Girl) and she goes, “Mom this is the hair I want on Mama’s Wedding.” Oh ok I told her. Good thing we found a headpiece we could use for the hairdo she desired.

Photobucket What do you think? Is it close? I forgot to take a picture of the back part, it looked really nice.

Bridesmaid Dresses: Where to Buy

Posted by girlie on July 27, 2008

I’m going to share with you a website that has the most beautiful and affordable Bridesmaid Dresses. They have a large selection from different designers and different brands so you won’t have a hard time picking. There will always be one beautiful dress for you. Now I know where to look whenever an occasion pops up. Honestly I find the Bridesmaid Dresses wearable for any formal or special occasion. So if you ever have something coming up and you need a formal wear, then the website is the best place to go. Lately I’ve been so much into cocktail dresses, and I found a lot of good designs fit to be a cocktail dress. Why don’t you take a look at all the Bridesmaid Dresses so you will have an idea what I am talking about. You can actually pick something for your daughter to wear on her prom night. That’s how flexible the dresses are over at bestbridalprices.com. Oh brides can take a look too. There are a lot of beautiful and exquisite weddings gowns to choose from. Haha I was kidding the hubs and showed him a few collections from the website. I told him I am going to wear one on our 25th wedding anniversary. Gosh that is what 8 years from now? Honestly, I really found something I want to wear. I picked a very simple gown with minimal bead works. It’s very elegant and it’s such a beauty.

Apple Bottom Not!

Posted by girlie on July 23, 2008

Photobucket Apple bottom jeans, boots with a par fur (personal joke between my daughter and me) not! Those jeans are not for apple bottoms, but for bulging tummy, lol. Really, I read somewhere that people with bulging tummy should wear jeans with a diagonal front pocket. Why? I don’t know really, maybe to distract people from seeing the unwanted bulges? Probably those diagonal pockets weigh down the fats in the tummy area? I think it’s true, I own those two pairs, and whenever I wear them seems like I have a flat tummy. Oh well, I should be buying more of that diagonal front pocket thingy.

Clothes for the Savvy Consumers

Posted by girlie on

Have you heard about Rocawear? When I first saw their collection, I was like this are the clothes I want to wear. It’s chic and classy, and the colors, my oh my, it’s lovely. I was browsing the women’s collection and I found a lot of items that I really liked. I wish I had lots of money to spend on shopping. You should check on their handbags too, everything is pretty and impressive. You know, the likes being carried by Hollywood stars. Really I’m not kidding, you know me, I am always in the lookout for pretty stuff. Rocawear is for everyone. If you need to buy a gift for someone special, say your husband, son or daughter, you can always find something for them at that shop. Happy shopping!

A perfect Shoe for a Perfect Dress

Posted by girlie on

Photobucket I found the perfect cocktail dress that will go with this pair of strappy sandals I bought 3 weeks ago. Isn’t it pretty? Would you believe that pair was sold at 70 percent off? Lucky me! It’s made in Italy which I bought at Linea Italia. I really love that shop since they always go on sale. You can always find durable yet very affordable pairs of shoes there. I still haven’t worn that pair yet since I am not going anywhere, lol. We have a coverage on the 8th of August, I’ll probably wear it, but not with the perfect dress since I haven’t been to my couturier yet.

I Found a Unique Cuff Link

Posted by girlie on July 21, 2008

I found these unique cuff links online. It’s really cool, something my man would wear. I just got him 3 sets of long sleeve shirts from Celio and a matching set of cuff links would complete the outfit. If I remember it right, he has only 1 set. It’s about time I add to his collection, err how can it be a collection since he has only one. Ah, silly me! From all the collection I’ve seen, I love the silver clock watch cuff links. Yeah the watch is working. With this, he won’t be late for his appointment. Go and check it out. This is a great gift idea for the man in our life.

Nailart Brushes

Posted by girlie on July 16, 2008

Photobucket I bought this special nail polish at Beauty Bar. If you notice, it has a different brush. It’s kinda thin and pointed. This polish is solely made for nailart. It’s nice to create thin lines with this type of brush. It actually depends on the intensity of gliding, haha why am I making it sound so complicated. Anyways, I really find this very helpful and it made diy nailart easier.

Photobucket I totally forgot that I had this set of nailart brushes. It was the first time I used it. It made my nailart less messy. Different brushes for different strokes. Err do I talk like a pro? Teehee!

Prom Dresses for All Shapes and Sizes

Posted by girlie on

I just love this one stop shop that sells prom dresses, cocktail dresses, bridesmaid dresses and even plus size dresses. Their collection is just awesome. You should check out all the beautiful clothes made by different designers. They really have a wide array of collection for all occasions. For easy navigation, shop by category to save you more time. But really it’s worth seeing all the dresses they sell. I have lots of favorites and I bet you will be able to find your favorites too. There’s no need to worry about your girl’s homecoming party because I am 100 percent sure that she will be able to find one or two dresses she’ll love from the homecoming dresses selection. Go ahead, take a look at all the awesome clothes suited for whatever occasion you are going to.

My Latest Addiction

Posted by girlie on July 11, 2008

Photobucket That is just one (inset) of the cloths I bought at Mustafa in Singapore. I admit, I did a major shopping there. I can’t help it, all the prints are lovely. I can’t stop myself from picking and eventually buying. Well that’s what I splurged on, nevah mind if it’s a bit expensive. I don’t wanna cry in the middle of nothing thinking why in the world did I not buy the cloth. Yes I had a grand time there, in fact we went back again for another round of peeking through the rolls. I love it there, I want to live in Singapore and go to Mustafa every single day. Haha, uber na uber na ito, sobrang addict na sa tela…oh well. The consolation is, when I went to Divisoria to accompany the chairman, I didn’t find the cloths I bought in Singapura, wee! Oh, how to do like the design? It’s an Oscar dela Renta ^_^

Affordable Prescription Glasses

Posted by girlie on July 10, 2008

I want you to take a look at these Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni. You will be shocked to find out that it’s really affordable. When I first stumbled into zennioptical.com, I was overwhelmed with the prices. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. No wonder Zenni Optical was on FOX news! They were featured because of such incredible prices. Take a look at the Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses, yes it’s only $8. Take advantage of the price, grab one now.

Yellow Gold Watches

Posted by girlie on June 5, 2008

I used to love gold watches, but this time I don’t know why I am fascinated with either a white tone or the two toned white and gold ones. But when I saw these womens gold watches all of a sudden I want to own a gold watch. Yes, I don’t have one right now, and it would really look good with some of my formal clothes. I think it’s about time to get one. It would be a good investment especially if it a yellow gold watch with some diamonds. Haha, keep on dreaming, who knows.

Biggie Watch

Posted by girlie on May 31, 2008

Photobucket  Sometimes I do think whether I am really a girl ^_^.  I remember playing a lot of games for boys when I was younger.  Yes I played with dolls but I wouldn’t last that long.  Maybe one of the reasons why I was “tomboyish” when I was younger is because I often played with my brother.  I would do boy stuff with him.  This might be one of the reasons too why I go for big watches.  I don’t know but I have a certain fascination for that.  My wrist is small, but I appreciate wearing big watches.  Those are my 3 collections of biggie watches.  Hubby was kind enough to lend me his junior watch.  That is actually the size I find perfect for my wrist.  I will have it adjusted so I can wear and enjoy it. Yay!  

Beautiful Designer Jewelry

Posted by girlie on May 19, 2008

My favorite chef is wearing this designer jewelry. It’s not only her, but it’s becoming a fast favorite of some of hollywood’s brightest. The designs have been featured in magazines like InStyle, Redbook, People, etc. I was curious about her designs and what makes it so special. I looked for the designer online and I found her awesome designs. I particularly like her Lulu and Sinai Sterling Silver Necklace. It’s something I want to wear. It’s very simple yet very elegant. Actually all her designs are beautiful. It’s not so elaborate, it’s more on the simple side. I’ve always thought that simplicity is always equal to elegance.

It’s Hand Made

Posted by girlie on April 28, 2008

I really love this handmade cowboy boots. When I saw it online, I really fell in love with it. It has a 2 color combination, light blue and brown, and a square toe. It’s so pretty. It will really look good on a pair of denim mini skirt or a pair of jeans. I bet my daughter will love it too, to add to her collection. She’s fond of fashionable stuff. If you want to see more fashionable stuff, you can visit cavenders.com. That’s where I found the lovely pair of boots.

Military Clothing which I Love

Posted by girlie on November 23, 2007

There was a time when Ish and I went gaga over military clothing. We bought a camouflage tee, skirt and pants, and up until now, we still get to wear it. I also bought a camouflage shirt for Josh. On the other hand, my husband N bought a camouflage jacket which he wears whenever we watch a movie. That’s how we love military-like clothing.

I found an online store that sells everything we love. They even sell the footwear Ish has been eyeing all these years. There’s a pretty camouflage swimwear I also saw and want to buy. If you go to their website, you’ll see a lot more aside from the camouflage clothing. They have camping and hiking supplies, Military shoes and boots, bags etc. Just go to their website to see for yourself ok? Happy shopping!

A Girl’s Best Friend

Posted by girlie on November 15, 2007

I know that it sounds clichéd, but diamonds really are a girls’ best friend. Go ahead and try to find a girl that doesn’t like receiving diamonds. Whether it’s diamond necklaces or diamond engagement rings, trust me that you can never go wrong with diamonds, and you can never go wrong by getting your diamonds from Danforth Diamond. Trust me when I tell you that they’ve got the best selection and quality of diamonds that I know the girl in your life will love.

Here’s another pretty dress I bought at 168.  I am really funny, after declaring that I am a rehabilitated shopaholic, here I am posting my cheap but pretty shopping find.  Well I just can’t resist buying this.  Imagine at 480 pesos ($11), who wouldn’t be tempted to buy it, right?  And it matches the peep toe sent by my sister.  Hmmmm come to think of it, maybe that’s the reason why I was lured into buying this dress, there is a pair of peep toe waiting to be matched.

Beaded Havaianas

I’ve been eyeing this havaianas ever since I found it in the web.  I’m not sure though if it’s already available here.  Haven’t really been much to malls so I wouldn’t know.  Again this is still part of what I got from my sisters.  They are really very generous to me.  Thank You MARYs!

Pretty!

That is the dress I bought at 168 Mall today. Isn’t it pretty? It’s made of silk material and the print is just lovely. The colors I love to. And it goes with the peep toe I got from my sister! Hmmmm, what bag should I wear with this? Wahoo, I have something to wear on our next wedding coverage!  Wait just between you and me, I paid only 550 pesos ($12) for that dress, what a bargain!
