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!

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!)

My kiddies…

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! 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.

is all in my mind recently. I have been busy checking out the rates of different airlines from different agencies for our upcoming trip to the US. I am also busy corresponding with an agent from a vacation property management called 3rd Home. We wanted to avail of their home exchange program available to members. The program is like exchanging your second home with some other luxurious vacation homes all over the world. You would get to enjoy and gain exclusive access to beautiful resorts and even those private destinations. 3rd Home’s objective is to allow home owners of vacation homes to have a different getaway experience. The program create the finest, luxury, second home exchange program all over the world. They do maintain the highest standard in the industry. Some of their most popular destinations for vacation rentals are located in Miami, Florida, Palm Springs California and Nantucket Massachusetts. Since we are preparing for our trip this May, we would would like to look at the option of trading with their other members for beach villas in Mexico or nice mansions in Miami Beach. In fact, in the future, we would also like to try those upscale lofts in France and even those log homes in Colorado. Oh, I just love planning for travel escapades!

I have a special fetish nowadays in buying Rugs. I particularly want nice Area Rugs for the living room. I found modern pieces of Cheap Rugs from Superior Rugs site. I know they do provide quality rugs at low prices. I am even thinking to buy in bulk already and have everything shipped in my in-laws place so we can just pack everything in a box when we go there this year.

Area rugs can actually add a character to a room, revitalize an old room and can even add a finish touch to a room. Did you know that depending on the material used for the rug, it can even absorb the noise level in a room? Sounds interesting right? Sizes differ as well depending as to where you would put it. If course, the smaller ones can be ideal to highlight smalle spaces while the large pieces can work well for living, kitchens and even dining rooms.  In considering buying rugs, one must remember the following:

Choosing the material used and the way it has been constructed also matters.  There are those that are machine-made rugs and others are handmade.  Of course, if you are putting in a foyer area, got to consider something durable.  Getting a rug on a lighter shade makes the room look spacious, but a darker color can make the room cozier in feel.  Your furnitures colors and patters matters as well.  Choose a rug that should complement your furnishings.  A simple fabric rug can make or break one’s interior design of the house so placing the rug on its appropriate location is an important key as well.  It can even be a highlight of a room where you can place a nice cozy sofa or chair.  

Living in the new house makes me think to improve more the rooms.  I’m in constant look-out of what’s new in house decorations.  And buying rugs is one of those I love most.

are up since December 15. Good thing I have already prepared for what to put inside as early as November. Thanks to the trip to 168 Mall and the Toy Kingdom sale. As for the major gift from Santa, it would be given on the morning of Christmas Day. Apparently, the husband and I are bound to buy it yet tomorrow. I hope the kids would like Santa’s gift and our gifts as well…
