So Into Plaid

Quite obviously, I am so much in love with plaid pants especially of white-black combi.  It so versatile, anything would perfectly match.  So happy to score this one on sale. 

I went here for a subdued look to cover the bulging here and there.  And frankly, ended with the ever reliable black ensemble for lack of ample time to look fashionably put up.  Anyway, nobody would ever go wrong with black (unless you will attend a Chinese affair).  

 

Since I was all black, opted to wear a pair of red shoes and gold necklace to break the melancholy.

If your outfit borders on the boring side, choose a bag that's beyond extra-ordinary.  Can there be more awe-inspiring than a bag made out of the exotic snake skin?  Classic but definitely with an "umph".

Considering its size and material used, the bag is surprisingly light to be carried around.  Another one for sale peeps.

Ready for Summer?

While we are still enjoying some cool weather, you can tell its already in its tail end as the sun is already scorchingly hot during the day.  Are we in for summer already? Then time to bring out those light and bright colored pieces to match the summer mood.

Orange is definitely one of the summer colors.  It never fails as a day brightener.  Paired it with a classic plaid bottom.

Had the opportunity to carry this limited ed LV Kalahari GM to show off such a beauty.  This is for sale peeps. A friend is disposing it to give way for more newly acquired bags and to be acquired in the future (I'm sure not so distant).   

Don't you love the boho-touch accessories of the bag? Very exquisite!  This is for those who love to own unique arm candies which are not usually and commonly seen being carried around.  The bag is very light.  The size is perfect for everyday use as it affords ample space if you are the type who carries the entire dresser in the bag.  Promise, this is really nice!  A good addition to your bag collection.  If interested, you can email me at regina1124@yahoo.com.

I Am Back With Some Excuses

It's been a while. . .

Due to intervening circumstances, had to take a long hiatus from blogging.  I gave birth to a beauty, which pregnancy gave me more pounds to add up to the existing unwanted ones, mommy duties tripled, office tasks became more than multiple, Blogger didn't seem to be cooperating, excuses, excuses and excuses . . .

Admittedly, during the times I wasn't blogging, something was indeed amiss.  Fashion is so complicated and yet light, pleasant and amusing.  There are countless things or ideas to talk about or views to share especially with those who are equally adept that seem to be gratifying. Even the information where to buy the cheapest hair clip may be useful for some or an advise where the ongoing sale is may just be what one is looking for.  This is the reason why I created this blog - I simply wanted to share. I am not saying I am fashionably abled but I would like to believe I have some sense of it. And whatever the &*%$#@^ was the crunch with the Blogger (and the blogger herself) for the past months, I am just glad to be back again.

Please do not mistake my outfit post as any implied representation that I have taken myself up as blog post worthy again (not saying that I was before), but my mantra has always been imperfections regardless, you can pose your way out.  DO whatever floats your boat.  "It" is just a state of mind. . . excuses . . . excuses . . . and excuses . . . 

While you still have some (or a lot in my case) of pounds to shed, opt first for some flowy and not body-tight dresses (I wonder why I have quite a number of these dresses).  The classic combination of a black and white cannot be overemphasized.  The neckpiece is an attempt to conform with no black office attire (more of a destruction ploy).

Since everything is being done in a rush, this would do for now.

Hopefully, I will be back for good.

Show Some Love To Your Bags



If your easy excuse for buying a bag that cost an arm is for the next generation's use, you should at least act up to it.  There are countless ways of taking care of your bags, which range from simple dusting off to having it cleaned professionally.

When you have more than one, the storage may pose some problem.  Fine if you have adequate sq. m of storage space to keep them (Gretchen lang ang peg), but for most of us who are just sharing with somebody's closet for some needed space, there is a special care to ensure that our bags will maintain their fitness for the benefit of the next (lucky) generation.

A friend who runs Weddings By Victoria, a wedding coordination business, has ventured into another feat.  She does customized bag fillers, for all types and sizes..

This one needs some professional help, I know.  Soon baby!  In the meantime, the filler will help you maintain your shape.

I stored this once in a box that didn't fit well perfectly and I still regret it to date because of the irreparable damage it caused to the shape.  Glad for the filler.

This bag is so small you can store it just anywhere.  The more reason for the bag filler, right.

This bag will surely see more of the storage box than the light of the day because of the sensitivity of the color.  Hence, the much needed filler.

If you can spend wallet busting bags to add to your collection, the fillers surely wouldn't hurt your pocket at all.  I am sure the benefits surely outweigh the cost.

Happy Red Day!

No matter how you intend to ignore Valentine's Day, the commercial idiosyncrasy of the celebration makes it impossible to do so.

While you had predicament not to treat the day special, you just couldn't help but celebrate with the love bug buzzing around you.  Don't get me wrong, I am definitely not cynical about the V Day. We do celebrate it but not purely in a romantic way, not anymore.  When the two became three, then four and now five, Valentine's Day has become a family day.  After all, the love has spread out.

What color best describes the feeling espoused by Valentine? Red, baby! So, time to bring out the reddest of them all. . .

Happy love month! You still have few days left to celebrate the gift of love, although everyday is an opportunity to thank God for it.

Bluer Than Blue

I am totally in love with color blue.  There is a sense of calmness in it.  While black is a wise color to cover up some imperfections, blue in dark hue, affords me the same effect less the heaviness and seriousness of the color black.    

Another trend that catches my attention is scarf print clothes.  I love this top.  Since am more for a simple classy type, the use of monotone scarf print is perfect for me.  It's not overwhelming.

I just acquainted myself with instagram.  Its a great venue to source out novelty and trendy stuff.  I chanced upon prettylittleblings that sell chic bracelets and a lot more.  Didn't have a problem transacting with the lovely owner.  Yay! The joy of online shopping!

Day After Weekend Buffet Dress

No better way to spend weekends than eating out with family.  That means maximum of 6 main meals, excluding in between snacks.  The result is an inevitable pounds and inches added to the already stubborn pounds and inches accumulated.  Naturally so, dressing up on Mondays is an ordeal.  

This is the reason why I stocked on shift dresses.  They save me on these days.

Since the print is loud enough, just wore it with a simple necklace.

Joining the vintage Casio watch craze.

As always, heels convert any attire into office-worthy.  The higher the better. This is something I  am willing to sacrifice for fashion's sake.  

Another fashion dilemma solved!
