Ready for Rain!

i was bloghopping the other day, and came across Bambi's post about the New Plueys for 2011. i saw the Booties, and i immediately fell in love with it!

i've always wanted a nice pair of rain boots, and although Plueys' collection is uber cute, they weren't really my style. it's just that i don't think i can carry off wearing 'em printed pairs, i'd be too self conscious wondering if it clashes with my outfit or whatnot (hey, that's just me ok). so these booties are just right up my alley :D

so i logged on to Facebook, searched for their page, and minutes later found myself emailing them and ordering a pair! they have 3 types: black with red bows, black with nude bows, and nude with black bows. i got the nude ones because i already have a pair of black boots, and i liked its feminine yet edgy vibe.

SuperSale Bazaar

i went to the SuperSale Bazaar at the World Trade Center today, let me share my awesome finds.. :D

my first purchase was this hot black dress from H&M. it's simple yet sexy, eh? ;)

Mad About Shoes

i absolutely love Charles and Keith shoes and accessories. my sunglasses, a couple of bags, and most of the shoes i wear to work are all from Charles and Keith. so when HSBC Red MasterCard came up with this promo a few months ago, i instantly signed up for a new credit card (even though i already have at least 3), teehee.

basically, you will get 3 vouchers worth PHP1,249 

so here are the shoes i've hauled the past 3 months.

first, i wanted a pair with low heels. one that i can wear with a dress when i'm out having coffee with my girlfriends. :)

F21 Haul

i was absolutely ecstatic when i found out that Forever 21 was opening a branch in Makati :D my Sundays are usually spent in Ayala Center: catching a movie with my parents or strolling the malls. and so ever since they opened, i've been going there every week! yey, i no longer have to drag my dad to drive all the way to MegaMall :P

so let me show you what i've hauled so far..

week 1

scored 2 dresses on my 1st visit

The Row Haul

i actually haven't shopped for clothing that much lately (apart from gym outfits). i guess most of my shopping money has gone to makeup, teehee. glorietta was having a midnight madness sale, and i reckoned it was high time i rekindled my passion for clothes (yeah what an excuse for shopping eh?) :P

i wanted to buy new dresses, and i knew i'd be able to score some great ones at The Row in Glorietta 5. i always end up buying something whenever i enter their store ;)

i scored the ff items at 10% off.. :)

a blue dress from Freeway. i usually gravitate towards dresses in this cut, pretty flattering :)

a lilac dress from Freeway. i was torn between choosing this one or its black version. the black one made me look more sophisticated, but this one just looked sooo girly and fun :) black tends to make you look more serious and well, mature, so i went with this one for a more youthful look ahihihi

a belt from Ensembles. it just looks so classy, doesn't it? :)

and finally, i bought a shirt from the Ang Kiukok collection. this one wasn't on sale, and it's actually more expensive than the shirts i would typically buy. but i loved the print, the fabric, and the way it fit me. :) so i didn't hesitate to get it. donning a masterpiece from a National Artist was just icing on the cake :)

Belle de Jour Fashion Show

Belle de Jour launched its 2010 Planner with a Fair at Eastwood last october 25. capping off the day's activities was a fashion show by Jellybean and Folded & Hung, where i was lucky enough to have been chosen as a model. :)

clothes and accessories by Jellybean

with my lovely fellow models and crazy stylists

i never thought i'd get to do a fashion show. thank you belle de jour for this awesome experience! :D

Rockwell Bazaar Haul

i also hit the Rockwell Moonlit Bazaar today. haha 2 bazaars in 1 day! here's my haul from the Beauty and Minerals booth:

i got the trial size of Monave Loose Foundation in Saturnina (P350). Sophie was there, and she recommended the shade for me. :) i also bought the Inti-Mate Bra Converter set (P250), as well as a sample size of Blinc Mascara (P350), as i was curious. Sophie threw in samples of blush and cure aqua gel, thanks dear! :)

i went straight to their booth because i needed to buy mineral foundation. that has become my strategy when going to bazaars. i go and look for what i need first, so i don't get distracted. then if i have any more money to spare, i check out the other booths. but more often that not, i end up spending all my cash at that one booth, so i exit the bazaar right away, haha. gotta stay away from temptations! :P

this is my 3rd Rockwell Bazaar in 2 months. haha darn it!

my first one was the Urban Bazaar, where i bought this dress from Coexist:

the second was the Artisan Bazaar, where i bought 2 skirts from Poisonberry:

i just can't stay away :P

Reversible Tops

went to the big outlet sale at the megatent today. i scored 2 tops from Salsatrends.

yup, that wasn't a typo. i only bought 2 tops. they're reversible, which i think is really awesome! :D

I'm on Style Bible!

went to the Rockwell Urban Bazaar last August 29, 2009. was asked by a photographer to pose for Style Bible, the online counterpart of Preview magazine. of course, i was game! teehee :)

i am wearing a top from Kamiseta, a skirt from Poisonberry, and sandals from VNC.

I'm on Cosmo!

well, its website that is ;)

kath, roz, and i are in the cover photo for the Cosmo Youniverse article. Cosmopolitan Philippines celebrated 12 years of fun and fearless females at Trinoma last May 16, 2009.

i was pleasantly surprised when i discovered this photo :D i googled Cosmo Youniverse, and when i clicked one of the links, lo and behold, we were there! woot! woot!


the reason i was doing a search for it was that we were approached by some folks from the magazine and were asked to pose for their website. i've been waiting for it for months (haha), and their new website has finally been relaunched!

check out the Most Fab Chicks at the event, including yours truly :D i'm wearing a jumpsuit from My Pink Closet, and shoes from Possibility, The Ramp.


p.s Cosmo Youniverse is what started my new found love (and obsession!) with makeup. We got makeovers from Skinfood, and we just felt (and well, looked, teehee) so pretty afterwards. :)
