I love charm bracelets! I can never get enough of them even when I was a kid. Although I collect a lot, I try to give away those that I don’t use every two years at least. This is the only solution that I can think of so I can keep hoarding. Seriously, there are so many nice stuff for women online and offline that it’s hard not to become a shopaholic. Luckily for me (and my husband ), I don’t buy expensive items. Just cheap ones that are too cute to ignore or affordable ones that can last for years. I know it may seem like I’m into luxurious items (who isn’t?) based from my posts especially the last one before this. But I really don’t have the budget for them unless I really do some serious saving up. One thing’s for sure – it’s fun being a girl!
If only I can nag the husband to get me a new diamond engagement ring, I would definitely get one of these.
But we decided we’d upgrade our wedding bands first before we invest on another jewelry item. I’m very easy to convince, fortunately for him. So instead of the ring, I’ll just get myself a pair of these babies.
Seriously, we have no way of affording these right now. But a woman can hope. Especially if there are pretty semi precious stones that I can settle for easily.
I am giddy with excitement! After unsuccessful attempts at acquiring the right pair of brogues / oxfords (out of stock, too big, too expensive, style not right), I finally found a cheaper alternative. It’s not only cheaper but it’s the actual look that I’ve been wanting to buy for the longest time. It all started when I saw the movie Lolita, remember her saddleshoes? They are all I can think about and when I couldn’t find a similar pair, I continued to hope and later on settled on other kinds. But now …. thanks to Payless, I got my dream shoes. Check it out below. I hope it’s comfortable so I can wear it everyday.
I can’t blog enough how much I love my clients. Most of them have been with me for 6 years while others continue to spread my services through word of mouth. One of them, who owns a shop selling burton snowboards and other hiking stuff just sent me a box filled with all kinds of locally made stuff like jams, spreads and clothing. I was so happy to receive it not just because I love gifts (no surprise there) but also because it felt like I’ve been to their country because of the presents. I love receiving / buying items from different places during travels and that also applies to anything sent to me overseas. Anyway – my clients is one of the many reasons why I do what I do. Making them happy is my job and I’m glad that I meet that requirement, all the time.
Sharing this video that my friend posted on FB. Very cool! Wish we could all do something as creative and even if I don’t get to shoot it, at least be able to travel 10% of the places he has been to.
My husband has been wanting to replace our wedding bands with a simpler design but in platinum. Now I am not that kind of girl who wants things simple but for him, I would agree. He wants something that is less maintenance but will last longer that he can give it to one of our girls when they grow up. As for me, I could keep my old ring and use it as a pendant. Hope we can find a good deal!
Check out my shoes for Christmas. I haven’t bought them yet but my husband gave me the go signal to purchase IF they can find my size.
It’s going to be his gift for me (yes, we choose our own gifts) which made me too thrilled for words. Now that I know that these are within reach, I’m wondering if this is the right choice or should I go for the new ones – Shibuya and Florence?
Whenever a friend of mine is pregnant and as soon as we’ve tackled the usual baby/pregnancy/motherhood questions, I always ask if she has prepared a list for her push gift. I’m surprised that most of them have no idea what it is so if you’re one of them, let me enlighten you.
My personal definition of a push gift is something that a husband gives his wife after undergoing labor which is almost always difficult, long and life-threatening. It’s some sort of a thank you token for bringing a baby into this world. My rule for this is it has to be something that you will not buy on your own. It could be as expensive as hell or something that is very hard to acquire.
As for my youngest, the Husband bought me my first Louis Vuitton handbag (first because I believe I will have another one soon!). He gave it to me even before I gave birth which I think was the reason why I had such a hard time during labor. Anyway, having a baby is priceless but having a gift aside from the little one wouldn’t hurt too.
Traditional and matronly maternity clothes are a thing of the past. Now, pregnant moms can be as fashionable as they used to be pre-pregnancy! There are even maternity clothes called transition which allows you to wear the outfit during your first trimester, upon giving birth, while breastfeeding and as a regular outfit when you’re finally back to your old size. Here’s one example while pregnant, breastfeeding and without the baby bump.
Imagine how much money you can save! I’ve hoarded items like these when I was pregnant and I’m happy to say that I can still wear some of them and I’m not back to my pre-pregnancy shape.
We recently attended a rock star themed birthday party with my daughters. Some of my friends had a hard time deciding on what to wear but I was lucky to have several pieces that will work so I didn’t have to buy any. I just had my eldest wear her fluffy mini-skirt, tight black leggings, DM-type lace up brown boots and a jeweled purple with cropped sleeves. My youngest on the other hand wore her pink and brown leopard dress. I noticed that the mothers were wearing rock star outfits too. I was happy that none of them were over the top as some fashionable moms tend to do these days or worse, wear something like a fishnet body suit that I saw online. We could all agree that this kind of outfit is more suitable for adult parties for two (wink). Anyway, here are some really cute rock star outfits if ever you find yourself looking for one.
You can either buy these or just make one similar to them.
