Hey friends, I wanna to share this new project I made last week.  I recently went back to one of the things I love doing: designing and making headbands.  I have my own headband line in my online boutique: Little Fab Closet by Fabulousity by Chiq ♥.  Where I design and create headbands, they are all hand sewn (by moi).  (Unleashing the little Martha Stewart again in me... miss this!) Well before I started making my new headband design, I saw this Hello Kitty candy container I bought months ago from Watsons.  And that gave me an idea to do something out of it, to make it useful after the candies are consumed. Here are the materials you will need : Hello Kitty candy container Felt cloth Fiber fill Pencil Pair of scissors Needle and thread   Procedure: Trace the HelloKitty head on the felt cloth using the pencil. Cut the traced Hello Kitty head. Sew them together (using blanket stitch ). If you are half way finish, put fiberf...

Minions! Minions!!!  These cute, yellow creatures who loves bananas and we didn't even understand what they're saying are back to dominate the world.  The craze is back!  My niece and nephews are going ga-ga over them.  I often hear my 6 and 2 years old nephews singing the "Ba-na-na song!"   They are all over the place!!!   source: McDonald's Philippines Last week Mcdonald's Philippines launched their Happy Meal Minion toys.  There are 10 collectible Minion toys... our boys already have them all.  Not only that last night when I was watching tv, I saw this advertisement from Monde.  They have their own Minion promo. source: Monde website The promo is called My Minion Mamon: it's their Mamon-It-Yourself special promo pack which contains 6 mamons and the decorating kit.   And then I saw this... for the shoe-aholics out there..

Every woman's purse or handbag is "our" life!  It's like our own little cabinet that we carry wherever we go, right?!   When we need something we just dig in and Whoala!  I grew up seeing my mom and aunt having everything that we need in their bag.  When I started working they have inspired me to do the same.  Now I understand why woman's bag are undeniably heavy, because we carry everything around. I hope this would inspire you to have your own mini emergency kit.  (or maybe you also have your own).  Well of course this is aside from my Kikay kit, where my pressed or loose powder, lip and cheek tint and etc. goes.  What's inside my handbag emergency kit? Lip balm - Dry or chap lips emergency. And I don't usually wear lipstick.  Eye drops - Since I am in front of the computer for more eight hours, if my eyes becomes too strained it turns red and have blurred vision, this helps me soothe and relax my eyes. Plasters - very hand...

Hello HK lovers!!! Look at this!  Mcdonalds Indonesia recently released these Hello Kitty plushies .  Dressed in Ronald Mcdonald, Grimace, Hamburglar and Birdie : can't wait to get my hands on these cuties. Back to my old "hinanakit" (displeasure) when Mcdonalds Singapore had it's own Hello Kitty promo: Hello Kitty Bubbly world last year. Though I was able to get 3, which is half of the collection (I missed 3: Tuxedo Sam, Monchiki and Pom pom purrin). Why is it they no longer have the usual Hello Kitty x Mcdonalds collab here in the Philippines? (that's unfair! hehe..)   That made me wonder...I even emailed Mcdo Philippines and the CA just replied "We will inform the management".  A few weeks after that, I saw a tarpaulin "Hello Kitty party at Jollibee".    That in a way answered my question: maybe the rights or license was already transferred to Jollibee.  It's just sad that they don't have this kind of promo.  Every year (p...

I remember when my Ate turned 18, she wore an off shoulder midi-gown.  Hmmm, that was 25+ years ago, and now it's making a comeback. Bare those shoulders, my dear! Isn't that sexy?  We have been seeing a lot of these off-the-shoulder silhouettes worn by fashion icons and celebrities...  If you watched Paul and Toni's wedding special on ABS-CBN: Ms. Charlene Gonzales-Muhlach wore this elegant off-shoulder gown...she's stunning! I love it! Photo credit: @itsmecharleneg Off the shoulder trend is not limited to gowns and evening wears.   If you're typical Boho / Coachella babe, off shoulder clothing would definitely be a perfect choice: either a top or a dress.  Just glam it up with a hat, pile of bracelets and sandals or suede mid-cut booties! source: Mango If you are "chic style" babe: Wear your off shoulder top with a high-waisted trousers, mid length skirt or culottes.

I know, I know - I should've posted it last week pa!  (Sorry naman)  Anyway, Mango's Summer sale kicked off last June 11, 2015 both in-store and online.   I have already visited their Edsa Shangrila and Eastwood shops...during their VIP week: got a trouser, jumpsuit and a top.  I'm a Mango addict!  Even though a lot of new clothing brands opened their shops here in the Philippines, I always love Mango. Lastly, if you are a Mango-RCBC Credit card holder you can enjoy 0% installment : 3 or 6 months on all Mango stores including Mango touch and H.E. by Mango. So what are you waiting for?  Go the nearest Mango store! Happy Shopping! XO,     

Hello ... Kitty!   Welcome to your new home! (*wink)  I am so excited to use these pouches.  Yeah I'm an organizing freak!  My old bag pouch was already for retirement, so I badly need a replacement ASAP.  I got my old Hello Kitty pouch from Daiso Japan, but at the moment there are no HK pouches available. These uber cute red, white and blue flat pouches are made of vinyl with zip closure. (I so love it!♥) Aside from my bag organizer, a pouch is really a must-have .  I always carry pouches in my purse: plural? Yes, because I have 2 or 3 pouches in my bag:  For receipts, bills and small notes For my make up and first aid medicines For my charger/power bank That's why my bag is clutter free... Dimension 7.5" x  5" Dimension: 10" x  7" These cute pouches are purrfect addition to my collection!♥
