When I was a kid and I'm forced to a sing for family and relatives, I always sing "The Greatest Love of All". It's like the national anthem of my generation when I was young. Talent shows and contests always had someone singing this.

Yesterday, while at the barbers with my boys I hear the news of Whitney Houston's death. They say it's caused by bad combination of drugs, alcohol and falling asleep in a tub.

Tragic. 

This year, her new movie, Sparkle, is coming out. After 10 years she's back on the big screen. I hear Sony Pictures is releasing it earlier than scheduled. 

Happy 20th Anniv Louboutin!

Christian Louboutin celebrates 20 years of shoes, shoes, shoes!

Legendary shoe designer Christian Louboutin has just launched a capsule collection to celebrate 20 years of his iconic footwear. After a lavish party at New York's prestigious Bergdorf Goodman store this weekend where everything from the cake to the balloons was red, the king of heels unveiled the new range, which includes some truly remarkable pieces: we love the use of perspex in thecute peep-toe heels above, and there are some beautiful sketches doing the rounds, too. 

It's hard to believe that the Louboutin label, which always feels so "current", has actually survived 20 years in the fashion biz, but it really has been that long since the Parisian design genius first had the idea of painting red nail polish on the soles of his shoes. It's taken a lot more than that splash of scarlet to secure Louboutin's central position in the world of shoes, however, and this 26-piece collection really demonstrates the incredible skill and flair for show-stopping style that marks him out as a deserved footwear hero.

Comes in so many colors and combinations... 

Wouldn't mind having that Chanel boots too. But I doubt I can wear it here in the Philippines.

Jeffrey Campbell Spring/Summer '12

I miss my heels. I miss my Jeffreys. I have a black Foxy and a brown woven Lita. Surpisingly for shoes THAT high, I didn't have any problems walking in them. And I want more! But right now is not the best time to buy more heels. 

Saw the Spring/Summer collection of Jeffrey Campbell and here's some of the styles I hope to have...

Cleata, sides are transparent

Eva-B

Lindy

I've always loved heels and wedges, and just any shoes that will give me more height. I think that's what made me fall in love with Jeffrey Campbell shoes.

In the Philippines Jeffrey Campbell is sold at SM Fashion Forum in SM Megamall and SM Makati. Calling the gods and goddesses of Fashion Forum! Maybe you can bring some of these soon?!

Other Addiction, Lippies!

I know, I know! I have nowhere to go and nobody sees me at home, so why do I still have to buy new lipsticks?! After shoes, I love make up. One of my dreams is to study make up professionally. In the meantime, I watch how-to-videos on YouTube.

I saw online that Digital Traincase has a sale on some NYX cosmetics. I couldn't help but grab a few items. I had to stop myself from getting more. Being unemployed and all...

NYX Round Lipsticks at P190 while the NYX Xtreme Lip Cream is P290.

from left to right: Thalia, Blush and Pinky Nude

I stopped at three. Thalia glides on just a bit darker on my morena lips. Blush adds just the right of pink. Pinky Nude has that pop of pink color I like. 

I still have other unopened make up, it's insane! So maybe I'll wear make up at home just so I can use all of them...

TOMS Ballet Flats

Finally hit the stores today in the US!

Adorable right?! Price range from $74-$84 depending on style and material. 

They've got Camilla Black Leather

Eliana Pink Suede

Alessandra Burlap

Katia Chambray

I really love it and I bet it's as comfy as the other TOMS. My pregnancy has renewed my love for ballet flats and sandals. 

You can check availability online. Coming soon in the Philippines via Adora.
