I’ve been a stay-at-home Mom for about 5 years now. Yes I do get bored too because I have been used to working, a few years in the corporate world and a few years managing our business. Right now I take care of the family. I see to it that most of their needs are met. Now that the kids are older, I think I can go back to working or probably do some business. Since I am so fond of fashion, I was thinking of going into the retail business. I can make use of these wholesale rhinestone handbags for a start, then probably venture into the clothing business. Well anything related to fashion would do. I checked on these wholesale cross belts and I think I have a market for that. I wonder if the husband will agree with me or if he will support this thing that I want to go into. I really think that I can make good. I am so into fashion and I would like to share the stuff that I like and probably make this country one of the fashion capitals. High hopes you might say, but yes I think I can do it. Now take a look at these wholesale patchwork purses, it’s beautiful right? I’d start with a few things here and there then eventually expand.

Daughter has been admiring fashion bloggers who wear vintage clothing. So this is the reason why she wants me to go to ukay-ukay (sort of a flea market or a vintage market) and get her some nice vintage t shirts. She wants everything vintage nowadays. This is a challenge for me, uuummm I want to be a personal shopper right? So I guess this would be my baptism of fire. Hope she does not get disappointed and yes hope she doesn’t find my purchase too mommy(ish), as I have this tendency. Sometimes I can’t stop myself from picking things that I like, rather than things that I think she’d like. I’ve been to the Baguio ukay-ukay and got myself some pieces, I’ve also been to Bambang, but Baguio is still the best I think.

I had to fetch the daughter yesterday to bring her to Mega Mall to meet with her Tita Jane who will bring her shopping at Forever21. She was able to pick like 4 items I think and all paid by her aunt. I myself went for a little shopping too. I intended to shop for another sandals if they have new ones (because they said they come up with new items every week). I saw this black sandals, it was pretty but I had to let it go because it was more than a thousand bucks, too much for my budget of P500. You know why? I was able to buy a P475 sandals last week. I think I mentioned it in my other blog. Anyway, while waiting for them to finish, I browsed the racks and found that skirt you see on the photo and it was within my budget. Well I added P75 coz it cost P575. Not bad for a pretty skirt. I sure know how to shop, right? Oh just to let you know, the philippine price is just higher by $2 compared to the website which isn’t bad at all since you don’t really pay an additional tax on top of the price.

We’re invited to attend a grand party a few months from now. It’s a formal occasion and we really need to dress up. We actually want to dress up, which rarely happens. So whenever there is an opportunity to dress up, we get excited. I have this habit of looking at prom dresses to suggest to my daughter. Sometimes I pick what I think will look good on her. She actually trusts my taste for clothes. I normally get her approval and sometimes she leaves me to choose especially when it comes to gowns. It does help that I know what she likes so I don’t really have a hard time picking a nice gown or a cocktail dress for her.
I might probably pick from these prom dresses 2011 for her debut. She’s not sure though if she wants a grand celebration. She’s thinking of asking for a car instead. Whatever her decision is, at least I am ready. If she can’t wear it to her own 18th birthday party, then she can wear it when she gets invited to someone else’s party. I on the other hand can also take a look at these formal dresses. There are a few pieces that are my favorite and I can’t wait to wear them already.
And yeah, I want you to check these homecoming dresses. There’s one in that collection that is totally my favorite. It’s simple yet very elegant. I think my daughter would love it too, we’ve got the same taste for clothes, and she’s really her mother’s daughter as everyone says.

I so love Looklet, it’s my current thing now and I’d pick it anytime over Facebook. You can see my styling moods at the sidebar. I really love fashion, anything to do with fashion you’ll get my full attention. This is probably the reason why I love to dress too, but my style is very simple. You’ll see it in my looklet page, everything I put together is wearable. But sometimes I want to explore too, and yeah I go wild with my styling. If I look at the pieces and thinks it’s impossible to put them all together and when I do and it looks good, I give myself a pat on the shoulders just like saying, you did a very good job. I want to do styling for a living, but I know I still have a lot to learn, it’s just a plus factor that you know what looks good or not but still there are “rules” to be followed and what not or shall we say the no nos in styling.

I wrote in my shopping log blog about my Vee Tee purchase. It’s so comfy, it’s simple but it can be made into something beautiful with the right accessories. Well it looks beautiful even if it’s bare. I don’t know but I really love wearing white also more so this time that I’ve seen a lot of people wearing it. I wanted to have my own perfect V tee. Sure I have lotsa white shirts, all of them crew neck. Back to my perfect V tee. I wanted to purchase another V I found at Banana Republic at Rustan’s, but my oh my I couldn’t afford the price, but it’s really nice. I gotta save up for it or I’d probably forget about it anyway I have 4 Hanes tee, yeah that should be it.

Uh oh, my hands are not that dark, nor is it too ugly. Pardon me for the photo, I took it last night without flash so you’d see the gradient purple that I made. I watched a tutorial on youtube and I was so confident that I’d get it right away. But no! It took me 3 tries and having a room that smelled like solvent, no wonder I was high, heh! I had all the things needed, like sponge, eye makeup applicator, 3 shades of purple, the black and white nail art pen. I first painted my nails with the lightest shade, then using a sponge I dabbed 2 more shades the darker one and the darkest. At first I used the eye makeup applicator and it didn’t turn out good. I was forced to get one of my foundation sponges and used it to do the gradient effect. I didn’t intend to put some black flowers, but then it looked boring even if I was successful in creating the gradient look. You can go to youtube and follow some tutorials there on how to make nail art. I assure you, you’ll get addicted to it. DIY nail art is cheaper than having it done in specialty salons.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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!

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 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.

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.
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!

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.

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 ^_^

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.

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.

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!
