Blah about the coup attempt. Nothing more to say than grrrr! Been to three weddings in Manila Pen and it's a shame they destroyed it.

Anyway... it's December 1 right now, which is 30 days from my wedding, which means I'm officially stressing out! This is why I don't diet. The stress alone is enough to make me lose weight. Seriously. Tried and tested. Just hope I don't lose too much weight or else my gown will fall off. And THAT is not a pretty site. So, we lost our weekends to errands and stuff already and even after work hours. Sigh! Struggle for someone who loves to sleep. But really excited coz I'm counting down the days til our house becomes a complete bedlam with relatives arriving from all over the world.

The other night my mom was throwing questions, asking checklist and who should do what... waaaahhh! I just scribbled everything in my wedding notebook. Deal with it later... like tonight...

Tini had his measurements taken yesterday. He's wearing a tuxedo. We were betting on his waistline. Hah! I won! Won't mention it anymore, he might back out from the wedding. Hehe.

Oh, oh! Other than getting married and having house renovated, another big change might be coming soon. I'm sort of excited about it but worried as well. Nope, not preggers! Haha! I'll know all the details by Tuesday. Wish me luck!

Early Christmas presents

Look what Santa brought in!

New line from Schu

duckies don't have to be in bathtubs only

I think someone's in trouble again... sigh! As usual I asked MOA branch to text me as soon as they come in.

I hope they do!

Welcome 2008!!!

Nope, it's not new year yet. But let's welcome the 2008 Edition of Havaianas!!! It's all here and being a self-confessed Havies addict, I immediately grabbed a pair... well, two pairs. My fiance and I got matching pairs. Hihi! He now has three and he's wondering how he can wear all his Havies... sigh! My little grasshopper has still a lot to learn.

Anyway, let me share you some styles we saw...

Slim Animal in Navy Blue

Fresh in Carmine Red

Trend in Red

I checked All Flip Flops in MOA and they have most of these styles already. I got our pair in one of their newest branches, Greenbelt 5. They also opened in Trinoma. And heads up for the 2008 Christmas Limited Edition too! The salesperson said it will be arriving sometime next week.

Maybe you'd like to add these in your Christmas shopping list!

I wanted these too...

our pairs...

Give me my tutu now!

See, I can still do a decent first position!

Yuck! Ugly feet! Blaming my years of dancing ballet!

Anyway, this post may be a few weeks old. I'm sure some of you saw this in the stores already but I just recently got my Schu ballet flats a few days ago. Maybe MOA is so far away for the delivery trucks, it took awhile for stocks to get there.

*giggle*

I really felt like a kid again with my pair of ballet shoes!

Glad I had somewhere to go to tonight... I'm building my whole wardrobe from feet up!

But sending a request to the universe... Ruby!!! Other colors please!!!

Wedding Belles is online!

I'd like to introduce to you our new site, the Wedding Belles!!! We were inspired to put up this site coz three out of four 315 Girls are getting married soon. We wanted to share our wedding preparation ideas, discoveries and other wedding/marriage-related stuff.

Contributors include me, a.k.a Conchita, and CD of the Manila Fashion Observer.

If you've enjoyed our regular blogs, you'll probably enjoy this one too! Even if your just dreaming of your big day!

What was your last purchase(s)?

I wasn't really tagged but my good friend MFO shared her latest purchases so, I'm also sharing mine.

An orange nylon bag from Ninewest. I've been wanting an orange bag even before orange became the new gray! My inspiration was a pair of orange Havies. First I went to Lacoste but they didn't have the style I wanted in orange. While window shopping inRockwell I came accross this bag. It's kinda bigger than my usual bags but I love the bright orange!



A brown bolero from Mimi at the Archeology wing of Powerplant Mall. I was looking for something to add to my brownish-bronze strapless bubble dress I wanted to wear for my friend's wedding yesterday. I saw this one and thought it would be a great addition to my outfit but I changed my mind on what to wear.

Oh, got a text from Schu that my ballet flats are ready for pick up. I guess that's my lunch-errand on Monday.

What about you? Why don't you share your recent buys?

Back to the 90's

While doing my usual blog-hopping I ran across this feature in Shoewawa on Dr. Marten’s. I know this will actually date my age but what the heck! While I was in high school, I was sooooo into the grunge look, like most teens during that time. I asked my mom to buy me pair of DM’s and even told her the more holes the better! Alas, she kept it simple and got me the one with 6-holes (the number of holes will determine the height of the boots). I’d wear it with shorts, Sunday dresses, and jeans!

Fast forward to 2008, look what they have displayed in their store! Colorful DM’s! Lovely! It definitely brings me back to my high school days!

They also have printed ones.



At my age I’m wondering how I can pull this off without looking like I’m trying too hard.

My fiancé said this was part of his wardrobe in college complete with long hair!
