I'd like to believe he's laughing all the way to heaven.

You'll be missed. Truly a legend.

Rest In Peace.

Minnie Mouse I'm All Ears!

While pregnant and on bed rest I couldn't go anywhere and I certainly couldn't do anything. My guilty pleasure was getting manipeds at home. I got addicted to nail polishes... thanks to Digital Traincase.

My most recent buy was from the OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection. My skin color clashes with light pinks so ended up getting this lovely shade of hot pink with shimmer...

I'm All Ears

I'm not really good at describing nail polishes but this one has shimmer with blue undertones (I've often read it described that way...)

on my toes

Here's the complete collection.

from left to right: Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It (glitter with heart like confetti); I'm All Ears; If You Moust, You Moust (bubblegum pink); The Colour of Minnie (more cherry red)

I also wanted The Colour of Minnie but I was saving up for another OPI collection. Will share it too once it arrives!

Clutch: ZALORA + ALT MANILA

I'm a bit envious of those fashionable people who can carry a clutch bag so effortlessly. And also carry so little stuff in their bags. I'm always in bohos, totes or any big bag. Can't seem to edit things I really need all the time.

While at the Rockwell Bazaar I saw this fold over clutch from ALT Manila. It's quite affordable at P650. I left the bazaar without buying the clutch but "liked" them on FB in case I change my mind.

Well, I did change my mind and bought them eventually. It was while surfing for new stuff at Zalora.ph that I saw them again. Zalora makes online shopping sooooo easy and decided to get it there. 

the green one was calling to me

The clutch can also be used as a laptop or iPad sleeve. Still deciding if I should get the other colors...

HAVAIANAS + UAAP Season 75

I didn't realize how intense the Ateneo-DLSU rivalry was until I got into Ateneo. We were literally brainwashed. Part of our orientation was teaching the cheers... and teaching us that Blue is always better than Green.

Years after, I'm still loyal to Ateneo. Having married one true blue Atenean and having two sons, our small family's blood runs blue.

This Season 75 of UAAP, Havaianas further fuels school loyalty by coming out with limited edition pairs.

It's that time of the year again when the air is abuzz with school spirit! It’s the UAAP’s 75th season, and what makes this particular season even more exciting is the arrival of its hottest rookie to date, as Havaianas partners with the UAAP to release the much-awaited Limited Edition Havaianas + UAAP Special Collection, out in select Havaianas retailers in Metro Manila on July 6.

I have to say, I'm kinda liking UST's and NU's designs better... looks more exciting. But I'm definitely buying a pair. Even my hubby wants one! I'm planning to get my parents, alums from UP, Havies too.

I got info from an insider that it will be sold for P1195 (I hope I heard it right!) and comes with a bag. 

I'm sure I'll be seeing lots of fellow Ateneans wearing these during games! Click here for close up of other designs.

Dazzled Dazzled!

Satchels are still one of the big things nowadays. While some may find it too "boxy", it is actually the form which I like.

I have two Cambridge Satchels, an 11" brown one I got from Schu. And also a 15" two-toned one I got from ASOS. 

But if you are looking for affordable alternatives, you can check out the different satchel collections of Dazzled Bags. These are for pre-order and you can choose from different prints and colors. They have polka dots and florals, metallic and flou. You can do two and even three toned bags! 

My first purchase was a red 13" satchel... I'm still refusing to do outfit shots. My post pregnancy body is still blech!

the black shoes are from Tutum...

And then I also saw this Kate Spade inspired bag too...

available in many colors... but I do love brown lately

These bags are manufactured in Marikina, one reason I patronize them. I'm hoping our shoes and bag industry here in our town flourish again like before.

Visit their online store here. Pre-order usually takes 3wks at most. Dazzled Bags also have clutches and shoes.

Capped Toe - Metal

It looks deliciously deadly! And iluveet! It's femininity with edge.

Louis Vuitton came out with these shoes for their Spring/Summer 2012 Collection.

I love the pastels, very girly!

Let's see other designers' take on this...

Manolo Blahnik

Giuseppe Zanotti

Giuseppe Zanotti with gold this time

Chiristian Louboutin

Stuart Weitzman 

Let's not forget the classic...

Oh, Chanel... I still love this one.

Locally, there's some nice flats and pumps from The Ramp Crossings

additional hardware on the strap

I saw some flats in flou and see through plastic. Nice to match these in skinny jeans and sheer tops.

So, can you rock this trend?

Found Luck at TLTSN

Just posted yesterday that The Little Things She Needs opened its online store. I was out doing errands today and found myself in Galleria. TLTSN is on sale right now and saw some nice pairs at 70% discount! But they didn't have any in my size...

My last stop before going home was Eastwood and decided to check their branch there. I found a pair of wedges in my size! And it was the last piece!

bought this for P569!!!

And then I saw this pair too. Something for the office, nice chunky heels...

this was on sale for P479!!!

Oh my, right?! It's hard to find size 6 to 7. I think I was just lucky to get these. 

I really should stop buying shoes and start buying clothes...
