My Wish For The Online Christmas Drawing

This is a 14k Gold-plated Cameo-Style Crystal pendant which can be bought at palmbeachjewelry.com. If you can find it on a different store at a cheaper price, then that’s totally fine.

Safe Baths

Our baby just turned over on her own yesterday. I got so excited I forgot to take photos! It also made me realize that she will be mobile soon so we can’t leave her on the bed unattended anymore. This morning, I asked our helper to unearth all our babyproofing items including the ones for the electric sockets, door knobs, bath tub and door stoppers.  Some of them couldn’t be found anymore so we’ll have to make sure to purchase a new set before our little one can crawl. A quick search on the net and I saw that there are now newer models and even more items that can ensure your baby’s safety. I doubt we’ll need all of them since we have our own helper and that I work from home.

But just to be sure, I’ll get some of these. They are too cute so I couldn’t resist.

Let’s Talk About Accessories

Forget about diet pills OR supplements for weight loss. If you want to feel better, the right pair of earrings or chunky necklace can do wonders to your ego. Just like a nice pair of shoes can totally give your outfit a makeover, a carefully chosen jewelry will help you make a statement. These pieces however are not for the faint-hearted ones as they are not only expensive, but you might suffer from too much wanting after laying your eyes on them.

Go with the Plaid

Just got these for myself, thanks to Old Navy’s previous sale. Perfect for casual Christmas lunches and late afternoon barbecue parties with friends. Now all I need is a nice pair of jean-leggings, my Tory Burch black jelly sandals and Longchamp black and gold Eiffel tower to complete the look. Ah, amazing how high I can get just planning what to wear.

Distraction

I was searching what thermogenesis means but got distracted with this oh-so-beautiful bag from Mulberry. Who wants to read about metabolism and fat cells when you can oggle this beauty instead? I’ve been hearing about them from my online friends but it’s only now that I got a chance to actually look at it. I can’t afford it just yet but I could just see myself wearing it. I love how you can use it as a messengers bag or carry it in the crook of your arm.

Mulberry Alexa – Grape Soft Buffalo

I wouldn’t love it as much if only I didn’t see a friend carrying it in one of her photos. It’s just perfect and I know that even if I’m not working in a real office that it will complement most of the outfits on my closet. This bag is truly, effortlessly chic!

Prom Night Once Again

My friends are I are planning our Christmas party. We need a theme because we want a reason to get all dressed up. I’m thinking prom night after seeing some lovely prom dresses online. We never had these during my prom! What we had were blazers and square pants that we thought so cool back then but so icky now.

So yes. That’s why I want a prom night party. Aside from the fact that it’s a great trip to memory lane, I can also wear what I want now that I have money to splurge on a nice gown.

Ready for Black Friday?

Nothing thrills me more than the words Cyber Monday, Black Friday, Thanksgiving deals. It’s that time of the year where I can splurge without worrying about the dent on our savings. I only splurge twice a year – first either during labor day or every January where year-end sales usually happens and second during Black Friday. I shop for about almost anything – clothes for the family, electronics and gadgets, home stuff like bed sheets, lamps and kitchen sets, books, DVDs and even take advantage of online services like hosting and domain registration. The amount of savings that I get from these splurges is so huge that I do my best to restrain myself whenever I see a sale monthly. For this coming Black Friday, I’ve already made a long list of things to buy. I’m just saving up enough money now in order for me to afford what’s on my list and make the people around me very happy this Christmas.

Affordable Shopping

My daughters’ party is in two weeks and I badly need a new outfit. I decided to check out this web site selling closeout clothing and was surprised to see how nice the selections are. And did I mention cheap? That’s my main requirement these days but only if it doesn’t look “low-cost” on me. A very impossible feat considering the materials but I can always hope.

I saw some nice peep-toe wedges too which will I’m sure will look great on skinny jeans and some of my summer dresses. And yes, they are dirt cheap.  This fact usually makes me excited but after several bad experiences with affordable footwear, I’m a little worried if paying less would only cause blisters on my feet. We shall see!

Shopping For Footwear

Oh man! Guess what I got from the mail today? An email from a friend alerting me about shoebuy coupons. I am trying not to spend money until September but with these hard to resist coupons, I may just give in. After all, I really need new pairs of shoes after growing a half of an inch on my shoe size because of the pregnancy. I’ve been dying to get a pair of REVA ballerina flats but since the budget is limited, I’ll have to settle for something that doesn’t cost a two-week’s grocery. I will post here my options as soon as I’m done browsing through the site.
