Don’t have plans…

of buying this but I just cannot resist a super great deal!  A friend recently arrived from US with shoes from Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, few Tory Burch and even Ferragamo.  Most were bought early on already.  I got an eye on this one because of the color, so matching with my Insolite!!! :-P  Though I wanted to get the blue Marc Jacobs, I decided to get this instead for reason being…it is per se…Ferragamo! (wink, wink) :-D (too bad, the black and brown one was sold early already!)

TB in Manila!

Tory Burch

Yahoo! Finally a Tory Burch in Manila. It’s going to be in Greenbelt5, right next to Kiehl’s. Saw this when I had my meeting yesterday.  I just can’t help not to take picture of it.  Sorry for the glare! (pero nanlaki ang mata ko when I saw it!)  

Its fabulous! Can’t wait for its opening. I just do hope that the prices won’t be too OA! I mean, reva flats are just 195usd ok? So I’m looking for justice of its price in Philippine Peso.  

I wish I can have one soon!

Amazing deal huh! We have been to Puerto Princesa but not yet to El Nido. This is one of the places we would like to go to in the future. Looks like they have a nice promo right now. All guests who have been there have all good words to say about the place. I wish we could have the same experience as well. But we are done for travel plans for the year. For the meantime, I can only wish for it!

Drop-dead gorgeous!

bottega-veneta-montaigne-500x327

An ultimate dream!

What I so love about Bottega Veneta is the suppleness of its fine leather. According to Purse Blog, “the quality of Bottega Veneta surpasses that of almost every other brand. The leather is so incredibly divine and supple it is hard to put into words. Craftsmanship and quality are the two words that describe Bottega Veneta. The above is a Bottega Veneta Montaigne, which blows every other duffel bag out of the water.”

I wish to own one in a lifetime!

Wedge!

I have a special love for wedge shoes. That’s next to all the flats that I have. And I am drooling over this Tory Burch Julianne Wedge!

SP09-ToryBurchJulianneWedge

But the thing here is that I just bought an almost the same style (minus the logo on top) like this from Franco Sarto just last week. Ok, it was on sale as well…

I feel bad that I only saw this Tory Burch wedge shoes just now. And I feel bitter all the more when I found out that it is on sale! My paypal is so broke!  I cannot buy this anymore. :-(

Coolness…

Merchandise Liquidators

This quiz was provided by

Merchandize Liquidators

a Wholesale Clothing Company

This quiz is coolness! Try it yourself. I would love to experience winter. I really do. But without any clothes on your body and you will be stuck in the artic, I am not sure if I can stand that. Why without clothing if you can actually be fabulous wearing your fur coats right? That has been one of my fashion dream, to actually be in a knee high boots with pucci scarf and a fur trench coat! Truly fashionista!

My new LVoe…

 

Insolite Wallet.  Almost forgot to blog about it.

Finally it’s back so I didn’t took any chances anymore as the stocks might run out again.  It arrived a day before I went to the LV store in greenbelt.  I’m supposed to asked Jacqui to get it for me in Sgp while she was there the last time but I just cannot decide yet on what color to get. Got to see it myself again. So i trooped to Greenbelt just to take a look at a new baby. I love that it has many card slots and two zippered compartment.  Yeah, the pop rose is so hot! and I so love the hot stamp of my initials on the inside of the wallet. Definitely, it’s mine!

They are now in TV…

High Five to Zenni Optical which I just saw from a TV ads! Wow, Zenni Optical on TV!!!. They must be doing well. I have always heart Zenni Optical because of their $ 8 Rx eyeglasses. Very affordable indeed. Where could you get something as good quality as what they offer online. Now, they even have children’s glasses which is timely for kids going back to school.  Parents are no longer worried on what best prescription glasses to give to their children since they do have plastic ones so no worries of breaking it.  This particular design below is something that caught my fancy…

Owning a house…

is one of the topics recently with online friends. We are comparing notes. Apparently, there’s a comparison in buying a lot and building your own house versus buying a condominium or townhouse. I am in favor of the first one. According to the survey we did plus the research online we had before we acquired our property, owning your own lot is a better investment. This is also according to Real Property Management site, which is a full service management company for those who would like to own a single house. This site actually receives the “Franchise of the Year Honarable Mention” award. They have available units worldwide and have property managers who are very much aware on what property to offer based on one’s need.  I will take pictures of the ones for sale within the area so my friends could get inspiration on what I am saying.
