The Shopaholic In Me

No, the above were not horse riding apparel but the outfits that my daughters wore during the 7th Birthday of Margaux.  Though they were wearing almost knee-high boots, these were the boots that were given by their aunt from US.  The party was a blast.  I still have to compose a different post about it but everyone really had a great time.  Some were even saying that it seems they were in real variety show especially when our family came in for the grand entrance together with the birthday celebrant.  In fact, I am still on high up to this time from the raves that I am getting from friends and families.  I hope I can pull off another party like that for Bianca’s turn next year and our 3rd baby’s 1st birthday. (yes, I am almost 13 weeks pregnant by now).  It will be a joint party then.

Whew! Happy to note that I shed about 12lbs already!  Such a big leap for me.  Clap, clap, clap!  I now ask for just medium size whenever I shop for clothes. Such a relief that I do not fall under the category of  cheap plus size dresses anymore.  :P Getting a number of compliments as well for losing weight.  I really decided to shed out extra pounds because the DH and I have been contemplating on having another baby.  Yes, you read it right.  We are planning for baby number 3!  If that happens, I would definitely gain no lower than 25lbs.  So I think I would go back in plus sizes again. I still need to lose 8 more lbs actually so good luck to me.

I have been addicted lately to different colored bangles and leather bracelets lately.  I love the chunkiness of the bangles and the edgy look of the leather. I have been doing some color blocking with the accessories as well.  One of my great finds is the camel leather bracelet with rose gold accent which i partner with different bangles.

Yellow bangle, Camel leather with my teal green top

Another one…

Green Wooden Bangles with Gold accents, Camel Leather Bracelet with Pink Stripes Top

And this leather bracelet is one of my favorites too…

As I was browsing some prom dress, , I actually saw this too:

And now, I am one excited girl! I love Tom’s because of comfortability. And with them releasing ballet flats design soon, I am sure to grab one! Since I got my red one, I have been wanting to get their wedge type shoes.

But my orthopedic doctor advised me to refrain from wearing shoes with heels, (yes even wedge type as I sprained my right angle while wearing one), I would probably wait for these ballet flats instead.

I’m excited for my girls who will both be flower girls in the upcoming wedding of their uncle. I’m excited to see the nice ivory dress that my sister-in-law got for the girls. I haven’t seen the dresses yet but they told me that both are beautiful. They are actually identical. Now, I also need to prepare for my own dress and I can’t help but look at the fabulous prom dress sale online! I just wish I still have those pre-prom-weight back then!

It’s new year so time for some new wardrobe! Although I have not used phentermine, a number of people are saying that I have lost some weight. Those are actually music to my ears! I survived the holiday season and I’m happy about it. So my first agenda for the year, hoard in Zara sale! Lol! I was literally in the Shangri-la branch upon opening of the store.

Before I read more about apidexin scam and prove my friend that it has no side effect, let me share my latest addictions…Accessories! Yes, I recently have fondness with accessories. I love to doll up depending on what I am wearing for the day. This one, I recently got from HongKong.  It even has a matching bracelet and the price was a steel for like 50HKD only!  Got this from one of the stores in The Peak.  Sorry, I lost memory of the store name. But the chinese owner said they only have one store in the whole of HongKong. I will definitely go back to it as they really have nice pieces.  I regret not hoarding a lot!

According to In Style Magazine, Here’s the list:

1. Black Blazer – A tailored blazer is classic, feminine and looks great on all body types. Pair it with anything: jeans, little dresses, trousers, skirts.

2. Leopard Print Scarf – Even if you’re wearing a basic T-shirt and jeans, use accessories like a printed scarf as the ‘bright’ piece to complete your look.

3. Red Flats -Black is the obvious choice, but red flats provide a pop of color and work for every season. I love to pair them with a striped shirt and a trench coat.

4. Striped Shirt – It looks great paired with brights or prints or peeking out from underneath a blazer.

5. Statement Necklace – The statement necklace can make a simple outfit look strong and feminine.”

6. Little Black Dress – Every woman knows she should have a little black dress, but it’s important to invest in one that’s special. Look for a dress with a detail—an interesting sleeve, an embellished belt—that makes it unique. And remember that finding the right fit is important

7. Black Opaque Tights – A great pair of tights can make your legs look slimmer and help you get away with wearing a dress that’s a little too short. Double them up for a more opaque look—and to keep you warm in the cold season

8. Oversize Watch – A watch is as much an accessory as it is a timepiece. A gold watch is a great way to dress an outfit up—try leaving it loose so it looks like a bracelet

9. Classic Trench – Think of this as an investment piece—you’ll wear it forever, even if you fluctuate in size. Look for a classic A-line silhouette that will cinch you in at the waist and wear it over everything from suits to jeans

10. Flared Jeans – This is a flattering shape for most body types. Pair them with platforms or wedges to get extra height while keeping the look casual and comfortable

We do not have a winter season (which I wish we have) but the “ber” months is actually here and it would get cold in no time, so how do you actually dress appropriately for the season?

As per In Style Magazine, these are top 7 ways to look cozy chic…

1. Cuff Jeans – you have seen probably ladies who have been cuffing their jeans. It could even be perfect to partner with a nice cardigan or a boyfriend blouse.
2. Pair Sleek Accessories with Skinny Jeans – baggy jeans are out. Get a skinny jeans for your self. Jeggings are becoming popular too.
3. Slim your silhouette with leggings – a stretchy pants can create a slender bottom half
4. Pile on thin knits – avoid chunky knits and opting for thinner sweaters and cardigans that layer easily, without adding bulk.
5. Wear Soft and Flowy With Warm and Wooly – Silk and chiffon dresses can be perfect with wool sweaters and heavy coats—their flowy silhouette keeps bulkier pieces from overwhelming an outfit, plus they showcase your legs!
6. Trade Your Coat for a Cape – Change things up with a sleek cape for almost as much warmth, but a lot less fabric.
7. Trade Up With a Fedora – Swap your chunky beanie or oversize trapper hat for a sleek fedora. The streamlined silhouette keeps your ears warm and avoids the bulk of a wooly scarf, glove and hat set.

Winter could be so fashionable, isn’t? After working your way to a cozy you, you also need to work up on a slimmer you so i guess knowing the top ten diet pills is also essential. That one I still have to research on and will try to share soon.

If you haven’t been to Forever 21 in SM Megamall, then you are missing a lot on their fabulous accessories. They have stunning pieces at very affordable prices. I got nice bracelet and necklace accessories from there which I usually partner with just a plain tee.

This one is one of my favorites, which I can actually wear during formal events as well. Don’t you agree?

Forever 21 is accessories haven for fashionable girls! Check it out too.

The husband has really been a basketball fan since he was a kid. In fact, until now, there’s no day that has passed without him checking out NBA either on TV or the internet. Of course, he was sharing to me the news that Lebron James is actually moving to Miami Heat. He wasn’t happy with that decision since he was hoping that Lebron will pick out New York among his offers. But he was excited to tell me about the improved fashion of his favorite basketball stars. We are both wondering if parish clothing of Jimmy Jazz has something to do with that, since most of them wore rocker hoodies, printed tees, jeans that exudes hip-hop during the basketball draft. Yes, he is also concerned about images of these NBA basketball stars. Definitely, a true fan!
