My boots…

Who said my kids were the only ones ready to brave a cold weather?  I do have two leather boots already (black and brown) but I just can’t get enought of it.   We are not going any further but getting a new pair of boots were just an “in” thing in twitter=shopping” site.  So I also gave in and bought my own knee-high pair from Zara…

Can’t wait to wear these! ;)

Ready for winter?

I know there is no winter here and it’s almost spring when we travel this May but what the heck, I just bought these winter jackets for the kids. I got these from Zara during their clearance sale last January. Lucky enough to find boots as well for the kids. These jackets are big enough for them anyway. It could even fit them even when they are 8 years old! ;) so we have more time to use it. (reason to travel every year!) :P

My kiddies…

May TB na ako!!!

Finally!  It was making me sleepless for couple of days after seeing exactly what I like in Greenbelt5.  With my size available, I didn’t take any chances anymore.  This is what happens when your “B” bag is not yet arriving!  Arg!

And it was all the more a reward after learning that I am not pregnant! :P Rejoice!  lol!

The shoes are comfy for me.

Note: As per advise of the SA, make sure to buy 1 size up your regular size.

Tory Burch is now open…

in greenbelt 5!  It opened last friday according to my friends.  Saw it today when I had a lunch with them.  I didn’t bother to check the store yet as I was already late for our lunch.  And I was rushing back to Ortigas after for a meeting.  My friends said they paid tribute already to Tory ;) and that shoes are from 10k-15k.  Still not convinced.  Will check the store myself as I want to try a reva flats IRL :P

Christmas Decors Shopping…

We took advantage of the holiday last monday, November 2 to go to 168 mall to purchase lootbags and some prizes for Bianca’s party in school tomorrow.  Apparently, we were able to see few christmas decors as well so we did purchase.  My husband also got christmas lights already.  I almost can’t imagine how much he has spent for those christmas lights in rolls.  The ones in like the plastic hose as he plans to put lights on our entire lawn area. 

We then headed to Megamall to buy our new christmas tree.  We haven’t put up yet though.  Will wait for next weekend.  We also bought the decors to put for the tree plus all other decors for our side tables, living room centertable, vases, candles, new throw pillow cases.  We went home that our car was almost full.  Counting back, I gaspped at the thought of how much we spent just for that day.  

We have started to put some already today in time for my dear Bianca’s bday.  I am seeing that I still lack some actually so I would probably hit the mall again this coming weekend.  We have decided for the traditional color scheme this year, RED and GOLD.  So it would be easy to keep all those we bought for next year since it’s very conventional.  Yeah, we should repeat use of it as it ain’t all cheap!

I will have at least 400pcs of sale items (very good items but in broken sizes) at “everything php400″ and also my new arrivals.

this is a great bazaar as even the husbands would enjoy bec there are “men-brands” such as Nike, PowerMAC, NJ sneaks, Rayban and Puma also at big discounts.

Additional for the Bathroom

The husband is asking me to join him today for a quick trip to Clark, Pampanga. He actually have some business concerns (meeting) in one of the companies in the ecozone there. He needs company for the long drive so I decided to give it a go. While he’s on a meeting, I would probably would just go to some PX stores there. Not sure if there are nice stuff to see but I am actually looking for some Bathroom Vanities for our master bedroom’s comfort room. I feel like we still need to add a contemporary vanity cabinet to place all our stored toilettries. Hope to find some there.
