Invicta Angel Watch 1646 - An Early Christmas Gift

I just got an early Christmas gift from my baboo Peter! It's the Invicta Angel Watch Model No. 1646. See the specs below which I got from this link: Invicta Angel Collection

Trying to Break Away From My Usual Fashion Mode

I'll be going to Boracay soon to experience the island life for six weeks so I've been trying as best I can to wear those new heels I bought from People are People a couple of weeks back, even if it's just going on a simple movie date with my hubby.

If you've noticed, I am the typical "terno" kind of gal. I like wearing matching bags and shoes, matching top and bottom, matching everything, color-wise that is. However, lately, I've been reading that this kind of fashion is out and wearing innovative color combination and mixing weird patterns are in. Somehow I always end up wearing something that matches in a so-called old fashion kind of way. Usually I don't really care. It's my body, my comfort, my style. I think I look good and for me, this kind of healthy appreciation for one's own sense of style is what really matters. But on these two particular weekends...

Clinique Happy

One of Popsy's gifts....

I love the scent of my new perfume! I haven't tried the lip gloss yet since I'm into wearing matte lipstick at the moment but I know I'll love it. As for the Clinique bath cream, I'm thinking of bringing it with me when I go to Cebu to assist in training come near end of February.

A-Line Dresses and Caps

I remember my hubby telling me that he is prepared to see the day when I'll grow big like my mom. It's in my genes, he said, so there's really no way of avoiding it unless I get serious with slimming down.

Anyway, this is probably why I like wearing A-line dresses. I may not be very chubby like my mom (yet) but at least the cut of this kind of apparel can hide telltale signs of bulges in my middle. Plus, they're very comfy too. So what I do is just style them up with accessories and other apparel like a pair of shorts or leggings, flat shoes and my favorite caps.

KAOS Presscon Fashion

Above: To quote Jeman Bunyi Villanueva, co-blogger, before having this photo taken: "Fashion Week ba?" ^_^

I recently attended a press conference for the launch of KAOS at Newport Performing Arts Theater located inside Resorts World Manila. I didn't really know what to wear at press cons. I don't think I ever attended one because of my hectic schedule at work but for KAOS, which features both international and homegrown talents, and which I love so much even if I've just seen its preview, I went all the way.

The Parvati Fashion

When my husband and I went to Parvati last Sunday to taste the various home-baked desserts they offer, I couldn't help but notice how stylish some of the guests were. I'd like to share here some of the photos we took in between bites of their delectable goodies.

I wanted to look prim and proper so I donned my Anne Taylor purple dress with a cream crocheted cardigan top, tied up my hair in a bun and wore my purple crocs. The rest of the ladies (with Roch on the right, the one who had me invited to come taste the wonderful goodies of Parvati) were wearing gorgeous heels to match their fab clothes.

Rose Quartz Ring from Forever 21

On our second day at Ho Chi Minh, Jem, out of the blue, gave me this very elegant and fashionable Rose Quartz ring from Forever 21. She bought it in U.S. while shopping for some stuff (she lives in Utah now) and when she saw it, she thought of me. How sweet.

I've been using it every time I wear something pink. It's just so beautiful! Thank you again Jem! You're really something!

My Resorts World Manila Getup

I've had a bad case of "I've got nothing to wear!" that evening Peter and I went to Resorts World Manila for the launch of Grand Fiesta Manila 2010 and Grand Fiesta Run 2010. I have numerous attires in mind but nothing fitted me well! Huhuhu. This calls for more exercise and less intake of carbs, which was why I didn't eat a lot even if there were a lot of delicious Chinese food being served at Passion Restaurant that evening. And like I always tell myself, when I feel fat, just wear black. I have this loose black butterfly blouse, which has been a part of my clothes collection before for the Sexy Nomad Apparel, which I've been saving for occasions like this. It's still a bit loose for my frame but at least, it made me feel not too fat. ^_^ I wore it with my old jeans, silver sandals & pearls and voila --- I may have looked simple but I think I also looked chic & fab. ^_^

Philippine Flag Color Fashion

Red, White, Blue and Yellow... They do look pretty together.I didn't even realize it when I chose to wear such colors on the weekend we went shopping & food tripping in Subic.

Executive Optical Periwinkle Contact Lenses

For several years now (9 years to be exact), I've been getting my contact lenses from Executive Optical. I usually get the ones that are three-toned. This time around, I tried their two-toned lenses in Periwinkle. They made my iris look bigger, like that of an anime character. I like it!

Beach Wear for Dungaree Beach in Subic

Last March 6, we went to Subic and discovered this serene little beach in Subic... See my travel blog for details...

Since I am saving my new summer beach wear for our Caramoan and Butanding trip this coming April, I wore an old Bohemian type turquoise blouse, a white smock which I turned to skirt, and my white pair of Crocs footwear instead.

Speedo Snorkeling Gear

I miss seeing fishes and other underwater creatures while swimming. It's usually Peter who skin dive and go underwater while I either sunbathe or swim whenever we go to the beach.

I do bring my old snorkel and mask but I never really use them lately. Then one day, for some reason, I just suddenly have this huge inkling to go snorkeling! So out of the blue, we went shopping for some snorkeling gear and bought a SPEEDO set of blue life vest (my old one is already quite overused... been around since 2004), blue masks and snorkels for me and Peter, and black & orange FINIS fins.

Purple Getup

Last Feb. 27, my hubby and I stayed overnight at a Php30 Million Peso house in Antipolo. I wanted to travel light, as always, and so I just prepared one motif for that weekend - PURPLE. Here are what I wore:

Casual Getup on a Weekend

On my birthday weekend last month, I came up with four casual attires perfect for my scheduled activities. For my Momolicious birthday lunch and dinner with family, this was what I came up with: YRYS dress, knitted cardigan and beige tube top from SM, beaded necklace and bracelet which I made myself, Baby G-shock waterproof watch, shades and my reliable Crocs

Jen Gaga Over Leggings

I must have bought around 10 pairs of leggings at Timesquare in Kuala Lumpur when I went there last January 6-8, 2010 so it's all I wear every time I have the chance. They're so comfortable and light and reminds me of my childhood days in the 80's and teendom in the 90's. For me, they have so many uses they could never run out of style. Haylaveeeet!

Fashion in Travelling Light

I went to Cebu and Cagayan de Oro last week, from October 6 - 12, 2009, for both business and pleasure. I traveled alone which means that Peter wasn't be there to carry my luggage for me. Because of this, I decided to travel light. If before I seemed to bring my whole closet with me, this time around I just brought outfits with a single motif... meaning, I only brought 1 pair of shoes (CROCS), 1 cap (the one I bought from Tagaytay Ukay-Ukay), 1 set of jewelry (my set of rice pearls from Boracay), 1 wristwatch (my Anne Klein) and 1 shoulder bag (Coach). ^_^

Black Dress and Yellow Ballerina Shoes

The day before typhoon Ondoy devastated our country, Sept. 25, 2009, I braved the rains in the metropolis and travelled from Alabang to Ortigas to attend N.E.W. (Network of Enterprising Women)'s Networking Party. I didn't have time to think of what to wear so I grabbed the first thing that came to mind--- dress on top of a tube and flat shoes. It's light and it's comfy. In case I get wet, the fabric dries up easily too.

The Fashionable Look of an Insomniac

Here's my look today... look of someone who hasn't had any sleep since yesterday. Hehehe. Find out HERE why I haven't been sleeping much lately...

Casual Getup on A Busy Day

This was my getup when I was running around the Metro taking care of one business after a another, including a blogging event. Thank God for my Crocs, I didn't mind walking several kilometers around Ortigas, from Meralco Ave. to Emerlad Ave. to Robinson's and back. Whew!

Weight Loss For The Fashionista

For a long time, my weight has yoyoed between 105-110 lbs. It would depend on whether I exercised that particular week or binged on my favorite food (pasta, rice, cake and ice cream). But ever since I started drinking Vita Plus vegetable drink, with no exercise at all (I don't have time now) just after a week, I trimmed down to 100lbs! Just this afternoon, I weighed myself again and I'm now 99lbs!
