roo...roo...roo..ROOTOTE!

Yay!
I said I am never gonna shop this month but after months of checking ROOTOTE online and thinking and tossing whether it is practical to pay AU$12.00 for shipping, a friend has been selling this online too and its inclusive of shipping prices! It's like telling me to SHOP Shop shop!

So what are Roototes? They are eco-friendly bag made with different material depending on the design of your choice. What I like most about this bag are the compartments and of course their famous secret ROO pocket. Click on the images to enlarge.
AND HERE ARE MY TOP 6!!! DROOLS! Happy Saturday, indeed!

sweet surprise

I am surrounded with sweet and thoughtful friends. I do not need to bug on my friends to put up a celebration in the most important milestones of my life. They always surprise me with a party or gathering. When I was pregnant, my friends were silently planning a huge Party Baby Shower. They were so good that I did not know of any single detail until they brought me to the venue which was well-attended by more than 30 people. It was such a sweet surprise as they did everything from baby shower invitations etc...Actually, the baby invitations and shower invitations were customized by an artsy friend. They were so good that they held the suprise shower party at my ex-boss' home. Ahh, I miss them so much!

driving anxiety, shoo away!

As we hubby and my schedule conflict each day, I begin to realize that Yes, I need to drive. There is no denying that driving has become a necessity these days. But, what do you do when you have an awful driving anxiety, how would one conquer it. Anyways, I hope when I gained all my driving confidence back, I won't be needing any services from auto body buena park because of collision accidents. I mean driving itself for me can be pretty risky and dangerous, so imagine my worries about vehicular accidents. Yikes! Now you here me and my driving anxiety blues!

This weeks question is: What job do you want?

But yes, my job now as SAHM is hard, rewarding and fulfilling all rolled into one.

Poppy Jewels

Have you seen the Poppy Collection of Coach. If you are the girly type, you should. Everything is just PRETTY! More than anything else, I love the headband yay! :) I know I should stop online window shopping and instead research on these liporexall reviews for a friend who has been wanting to lose weight for 10 years now. They say liporexall is one of the most effective diet pills.

Anyways, here is the Poppy Jewelries collection from Coach.

Bracelets Galore at UO.

I was researching on the definition of life insurance when I decided to take a break and check Urban Outfitters!

Tell me you love every single piece of these bracelets? yay! More on UrbanOutfitters.com.

I do not know of anyone who do not love Target, well at least for those who know what and where Target is and have visited an actual Target store that is. Remember the time I bought a Anya Hindmarch for Target bag? Another designer has conquered Target. Anna Sui has made a line of Gossip Girl Clothing collection.

the crowning glory.

I used to not really like my naturally curly hair. I never know how to style it. I ended up washing it and tying it like a knot or a regular ponytail. Even when wet, I tie it. Until, I met a stylist who is a very experienced stylist and has undergone a lot of hair stylist jobs. He even had a long training in London and what is nice about him is the fact that he understands the dilemma of a person with curly hair because he himself has curly hair as well. He makes sure to enhance your curls and not make it appear poofy. Currently, I love my hair and I will never ever go back to my bi-annual hair straightening sessions.

Sea of Shoes Meets UrbanOutfitters

This Girl is truly amazing. I have been an avid follower of her blog for almost 2 years now. And now she has been designing shoes for my favorite store, The UrbanOutfitters :). This is what you call discovering one's passion at a very early stage in life!

"Jane Aldridge may be just 17 years old, but the Dallas-based fashion blogger has an impressive global following on her personal style blog, Sea of Shoes. "Ever since I've reached my full shoe size I've been fanatical about collecting shoes," says Aldridge. "That's how my blog got started, as a means of chronicling my addiction to beautiful footwear and the evolution of my personal style," she adds.

The magnetic Texas teen has to wear a school uniform five days a week with a one and a half inch heel rule, but outside of class, flats are the last thing you'll see her wearing. From YSL cage heels and Chanel bow-tie booties to Margiela clogs, Aldridge pairs her favored heels with equally envied outfits. And now, she has found another creative outlet for her passion; designing shoes herself, with the help of Urban Outfitters.

Launching next month, J. Aldridge by Sea of Shoes is a capsule collection of three styles, exclusive to Urban Outfitters. Dramatic knee-high brown leather peep-toe boots feature top-stitched detailing and lacing at the front, black gladiator heels with studs and twin buckle straps, and lace-up, pointy skimmers. "I'm really excited to bring my designs to Urban Outfitters," says Aldridge. "The inspiration for this collection is a mish-mash of some of the elements of my favorite pairs—sort of Victoriana meets gladiator warrior."

My 4-year old accidentally sat down on my favorite shades 2 days ago. I was so devastated but what can I do, he's only a kid :).
