Gladiators x Zara

August 20, 2008

I still can’t get enough of gladiator sandals. I accidentally bought this pair last Friday at Zara Girls. I was actually getting a pair for Isabel but they don’t have Size 29 anymore.  Luckily, they have it in my size.. I’ll definitely check on other Zara stores maybe they still have it in small sizes as this would look really fab on Isabel. We’ve had matching outfits before so why not.  

It shows some resemblance to Banglez by Steve Madden and it’s not that pricey. It’s definitely a best buy.

My new loot!

June 3, 2008

For my weekend wrap up, we went to the mall to buy Nine West Jobilyn gladiators in black that I’ve been eyeing for some time now. I really like to get the multicolor but they don’t have it in my size.

Haven’t worn it yet but I know this will go with most of my outfits. This style is really a classic and a must have in your growing shoe collection. I’ll post some pictures when i get to wera them.

Here’s a peek on other styles.

A picture is worth a thousand words

May 14, 2008

Mi Amour got his new baby, a Nikon D40x; there is a story behind how he got it but thanks to his colleague Jeff for allowing it to happen. I can’t describe Mi Amour’s excitement to finally having and rocking it. I got excited too that I printed out overview reading mats for me to navigate that intimidating gadget. He said that the first snap would be moi..bring it on! :)

As the infamous saying goesA picture is worth a thousand words.” 

This phrase has come a long way with different variations used by editors, writers, artists and philosophers. Essentially, every picture has its own story to tell. Think of Natalie Portman’s picture in the movie Closer. She was heartbroken when she asked to be photographed by Julia Roberts.

 

I like being photograped ever since I was a lil’ girl. I remember during my elementary days, we always go to this studio to have our pictures taken in soft lens (for blemish free look), then we would ask for blow up and wallet size copies for our friends with matching dedication ha. That was fun..But when you look at the pictures now with all that mega poses, that is what you call FUNNY!!! I really want to have my picture taken by a PRO as I really enjoyed the time posing for Joray Katigbak during our wedding. I hope I can have portraits that tells something extraordinary and full of character. So much that you can decipher the real me.

I hope Mi Amour captures stunning and enigmatic portraits so that everybody can have a look and define what is beyond the picture that incited him to snap.

Eye Cream to the test & Entourage

March 24, 2008

 ’Got only a few hours of sleep. Mi Mama is asking ’bout the raccoon eyes already.. I’ve been using Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream that promises to transform and revitalize the area around the eye. No dramatic results as of press time for me. But i guess, i’ve been too stubborn to hit the sack early because i’ve been watching Entourage on DVD. You keep telling yourself it’s going to be the last before you call it a night but then episode + episode + episode /  late night = dark undereye circles.

 I hope I could use up the whole pot of cream and see some changes or transformation on my eyes. I hope my eyes would open up and shine for more late nightcaps…

Arm Candy

July 23, 2007

Truth be told..

I bought my first LV bag..I finally took the plunge to don the goodies at the House of Louis Vuitton. After days of constant whining and blabbering, Beibei told me to go buy it..Just like that.Maybe he wants me to stop talking or maybe he just want the best for me..Seriously.

As I entered LV at Mall of the Emirates, I felt like the bags were talking to me..I really like the  Multicoloure Trouville but I realized it was too fancy for me..

I finally got the LV Damier Speedy 25 – my new Arm Candy. The bag suits me well. The size, style and color. For me, this is classy.

**Whilst at LV, I saw a familiar face and approached her if she is Nicollette Bell – well indeed she is. She is one of Philippines ramp and print model. She asked my opinion if she would go for the Monogram Speedy or Damier Speedy. I, being the fashionista wannabe, told her to go for the Damier too..And she did..
