Look#7: The Woods Still on the earthy tones for Fall... Chose the dress for its Forestry print, which is actually the focal point of the whole look.  Outfit from Mango : Landscape print oversize dress, added gold accessories from Fabulousity by Chiq♥ 's Timeless Tortoise and Fall/Winter 2013 Collection to spice up the whole ensemble.   Finished it up with Mango Touch's ankle boots and a leather clutch(which are really a must-have this season).

Now I know how it feels...  Just experienced it this morning.  SAD and pissed!  I posted pictures of the bracelets I sell on my online shop and in a matter of minutes... it appeared on somebody else's online store.  She grabbed my photos directly from my facebook page.  Well, I guess it's my fault since I forgot to put watermarks on my photos.   Lesson learned... Maybe if she asked me if she could use my photo... I would have allowed her... But photo grabbing without the permission of the owner...Haay... really synonymous to STEALING!  It's a personal property of the person who took the photo.  I'm 100% sure it was my photo, because I am the one who took it, on top of my worktable...(I should know...) At times, yes we grab photos from the internet, websites and etc... I do that sometimes for my blog... but I give credit to the site where I got the photos...   Maybe she does not know what R-E-S-P-E-CT means...

 I have a meeting to attend today.  Office uniform from Monday to Friday I always look forward going to work on Saturdays because I will be able to do some fashionising for myself.  For today for a change I need to go to work on civilian clothes...Corporate business attire: I don't want to wear the good-classic black trouser and a plain or printed top.  That's really too boring for me! So I went for Zebra prints trousers: since it's more on black and white/animal prints this season and to add some pop of color a Cobalt blue blouse and of course a black tailored blazer (the whole ensemble are from Mango).   High heel pumps from Lady Rustan (excuse the stained vinyl office floor)  Nowadays it's really hard to find a comfortable high heel pumps, our company does not allow us to wear peep toe shoes... good thing I found this high heel pumps with 1-1/2" platform at Lady Rustan (Rustan's department store-Edsa Shangrila).   To to...

Plaid or checkered prints are back for FALL/WINTER 2013! I really love the red checkered trouser that I got from Mango. In the 90's I remember having same red trouser...In fashion everything goes round in circles... I am into printed bottoms instead of wearing jeans/denims .  Matched it with black top and blazer both from MNG also.   For the accessories: Gold bangle + Cross pendant necklace (both from MNG also).  Bucket shoes from Ferretti.  Yes, I love Mango... love all of their clothes and accessories... I am a Mango addict since they opened their first store here in the Philippines...

It's been 3 days since a 7.2 earthquake hit the Visayas region.  I was at home (since its a holiday) when my mom asked me to open the television so we can hear the latest on the quake in Bohol.  When I saw the footage of the devastation especially the old and historic churches I was totally devastated.  I completely remember my experience of the July 16, 1990 earthquake that struck Manila.   Last night I watched the Loboc children's choir sang Josh Groban's The Prayer at TV patrol its was really moving.. and then slowly tears went falling down my face... (The choir had won various awards abroad). To view the video click on the link : Loboc Children's Choir moves nation to tears from ABS-CBN.com Goosebumps... all over as the choir sang ...(feels like angels went down from heaven) as pictures of the devastation was shown...it's a message of HOPE for all of us Filipinos... With this we should keep the faith... Trust in the LORD...  The challe...

Photo entries of my nephew Jean Clarence or Lance as we call him were already approved and uploaded on Gingersnaps model search site.  Actually this was Lance's second time to join an online contest.  The first was in 2010 where he won 2nd place but unfortunately it was a bogus Facebook site and we did not get the price.  We just tried it: to see if Lance has a chance to win on any online contest.   Lance is a looker... every where we go he always catches the attention of people.   Lance's winning picture at Baby Talk Contest in 2010 He's now 4 years old turning 5 on December.  He is a Star Pupil in his class: K1 - Starbright at Bright Star Learning Center in Marikina City.  At 2 he can finish a 15 piece puzzle, aside from that he loves reading.   For toys: He loves Thomas the train, he enjoys constructing the wooden tracks by himself, Toy Story characters and at the moment Minions are his favorite. Here are Lance's photo entrie...
