Black Patent or Black Quilted Fabric

As you all know Mulberry has designed more than 5 purses for Target. This collection hit members of Gilt Groupe last August 20. Come October 1, it will be sold at Target for a limited time. I am so tempted to get the Black Patent or the Black Quilted Fabric at eBay last week (which is more than $20 + shipping!!!), good thing I had self-control and just wait for it's distribution in Target on October. I just learned we need to replace our Samsung HDTV and that means, I have to take out funds in our shopping budget.


J'Adore Gossip Girl

I love B!
So beautifully put together ALL THE TIME.

Jewelries

My husband does not really understand why I have to purchase an expensive purse, well, expensive is relative. He does not comprehend how I see them as my investment. He is more into jewelries and watches. He wanted me to focus my purchases on jewelries, instead. In fact, it took him a long time to shop for engagement rings until he found the perfect one for me. He is critical in terms of the kind of diamonds my engagement ring would carry. He even sent me a site (Abazias.com) which has a wide array of diamonds, Sapphire Jewelry, white and yellow gold collection and told me about their ongoing sale. I checked on the site and I must say that I have made a wishlist instantly as their jewelry designs are so uniquely exquisite you wouldn’t find it in the stores. Also, you would be assured of authenticity of their product because of their long history in the jewelry industry. I guess I should re-think my designer bag purchases and make way for collecting jewelry. After all, jewelries appreciate and designer bags, well they do not depreciate fast but when you try to resell them, you can never sell them with the original price.

Color Puple.

I like it when I come to work very early, an hour earlier than we are required to. It is a good time to catch up with my colleague, Bri and yes, blog a little too before the stressful day begins. We both have the same taste in fashion and we could talk about random shopping finds from matouk and other home stuff. Then of course, our favorite topic, make-up and purses. This morning she was carrying this purse and I could not stop drooling on how smooshy the leather is. Definitely, the perfect Autumn purse.

The Best Dress For Your Body

I have lost about 6 lbs for the past 2 weeks already. I am quite proud of myself because of my food intake self-control. Seriously, even DH is amazed that I always say NO to many dishes served when we eat out and I skipped dinner for 2 weeks straight already. Anyways, I was reading this article on how corsets can minimize your flabby tummy. You see, that is my problem area and no matter how much weight I lose, I still have those stubborn fats in my tummy. Although, I can always conceal it by wearing this similar Empire cut dress.
Summer means wearing dresses but if you are concerned what dress can accentuate your body type, you can check out this article: The Best Dress For Your Body from InStyle. Happy Weekend everyone!

Money.

I have mentioned in my other blog how hooked I have become in this TV show that tackles money saving tips, credit card management and everything else about money. I don't know why, maybe I have become financially matured as I have reached my 30s. Although, I know I still indulge in impulsive shopping but these are just small amounts and stuff that could cheer me up and fancy my collection. Anyway, in one of the segments, they featured how one can make money out of gold and silver bullion. People have been getting their Gold Bars for either collection or trading purposes at USGoldBureau.com. Apparently, the site is by far the leading and most reliable online supplier of these bullions worth investing for. Interested to buy gold bars, check them out.

This is what happens...

This is what happens when you get bored reading articles on Mesothelioma lawyer and then the next thing you know is you pressed the CONFIRM BID button in eBay without having real intentions on buying the item.

Aw! Happened to me a few minutes ago and I accidentally won this. But looks pretty and an additional feedback, blue star here I come hahah!

How Cute Are These...

I am not a huge fan of Melissa shoes but upon seeing this new Melissa Collaboration with Gaetano Pesco, an Italian Designer, I was like, Hmmm this got to be the perfect Autumn walking shoes.

According to Nitrolicious.com review:
The shoes are made of interconnected PVC circles but if you don’t like the bootie style, you can cut it into a sandal, a ballet flat, peep-toe or get creative with it. ‘This is the future of mass production,’’ Pesce says. ‘‘With the technology we have today, we can give people something that is half done and ask them to finish it.” Pretty interesting!


Looks like the price is worth it. Now, why am I blogging about shoes when I need to check on an offshore injury lawyer.

golden future.

My friend, D once told me that he will work hard while he is young and so when he reached the age of 40 he could slow down and eventually retire by 50 and just enjoy the fruits of his labor. Wow!!! That is quite idealistic but if you put your eye on the goal, you can actually do it. No wonder, he is into investments and saving up for the future that even investing in a gold bar has been his favorite topic as well.

I would love to have that kind of life when I reach my golden years. Sometimes when I see old people still working on some strenuous jobs, I feel sad that they have to do something like that when they are old and gray. We all have different opportunities in life and like what my mom said sometimes people are put in a circumstance they do not have control of and this circumstance dictate their future. If for some circumstance we need to work till we are old and gray, we should make sure that while we work, we stop for a break and smell the flowers.

care for some Crystal bags?

You can guess by now that I lost my focus when I am on the internet. So yes, instead of researching on this new product, the neutrogena skin id, I end up reading reviews on these crystal Prada bags.

Left bag: $2,695, available at select Prada boutiques & www.prada.com
Rightbag: $1,995, available at select Saks stores

the PLL girls.

When I started watching Pretty Little Liars, I found Aria Montgomery or Lucy Hale in real life, the lead star in the Series to be the prettiest among the 5, including Alison DiLaurentis. But as you watch the series for 10 weeks, Spencer Hastings is getting prettier and hotter each episode especially when she was wear running shorts and doing her tennis practices scenes. This series is so addicting that I ended up reading the book haha!

And do you know that Shay Mitchell or Emily Fields in PLL is half Filipina raised in Canada? I thought she was Asian and Googled it. True enough, she is a beautiful half-pinay girl.

Anyway, for everyone who is following Lucy Hale, she was featured on WhoWhatWear.com and here are some of the photos from the shoot.

gold coins

Seriously, I would want to invest on these gold coins from USGoldBureau.com if only we had extra funds. I know for a fact that silver and gold coins, including precious metals are better investments as they do not depreciate. But, currently, I do not have a budget for one and I do not know how to trade them nor sell them. All I know is that you can buy gold bullion through the United States Gold Bureau, and may even request for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. If you are interested on this type of investments, the company is a reliable source of information regarding this.

Lady Gaga and her 12″ Platforms

I was doing my research on treatment for high cholesterol when I saw these disturbing photos from Nitrolicious.com.

Yikes! Look at Lady Gaga and her 12" Platforms!
She wore that in the airport!

It's really hard to be an entertainer when you have to wear this type of uncomfortable clothes and shoes. Of course, she would trip on those.

Poor Lady Gaga tsk tsk.

Dr. Seuss & Sanrio

I called in sick the other day because I had a severe stomach ache which led to flu or food poisoning. After almost 2 days of not eating anything solid, DH treated me with home-cooked steak with red wine. I swear I ate a lot! And with the 1 liter of Coke I paired with my yummy steak dinner, I guess tonight will be a long night. Yay! Somebody's gonna be late tomorrow. Anyhow, while I am trying to shake off my heavy dinner, look what I found: (yes, I am senselessly surfing again when I should be researching on purchase order financing!)

The New Converse Dr. Seuss Chuck Taylor All Star collection, I love them! I want to buy a pair for DS and maybe one for me :P. Prices retail for $35 – $65, currently available on www.converse.com.



...and look at this Dr. Marten's Sanrio collection of Mary Janes and Boots. Goodness gracious, they're such cuties. Prices range from $110-170. You can order yours from Nordstrom.com
