Spring Inspiration #4

Like what I have mentioned HERE, Coach has been consistent with their collection ever since they came out with their fall collection last year. Since then, the brand has been surprising us with beautiful lines. An addition to their Spring collection is the CRICKET collection. Here are some of my favorites from this collection. Scroll until the last 2 bags...


Hmmm, very CHANEL right? This patent mini bag is only $198.00 :)

THE May BOOK

If you are a fan of Neiman Marcus like I am then you should have this book.

If there is one shop I would never get tired of visiting if budget was not an issue, that would be Neiman Marcus. If you have been following this blog, you would notice that I am such a huge fan of this shop. Ooohlala!

Anyways, this book is very interesting, it got everything you need to know when you shop at NM. You can view the electronic copy HERE. Enjoy!

1st going on the 2nd week.

My 1st week of Spring quarter at school went by so fast, I am so behind with my readings and will try to catch up tonight. I hope.
There are days I honestly want to give up graduate school because the requirements are just so taxing and of course, you must understand that I am a stay-at-home mom and my number one priority is to take care of my son and husband. But then again, hubby is very supportive and knows how to boost my confidence when I feel like giving up. I know that once I completed this degree, my hardwork will pay off and I would be able to see the fruits of my labor. So for of all you who want to earn an online university degree or on-campus degree, does not really matter, pursue that dream because Education is always a life-long investment.

Style your Crowning Glory.

I honestly miss my stylist back home. He is the only stylist I have ever met who knows how to enhance my curls with his tons of scissors! He is the only stylist who made me realized that my curls are actually my crowning glory's asset. I used to not like my curls and would end up tying my hair in a knot not until he treated and took care of my hair. Now, that I have already tried a stylist here and now, that my hair has grown longer after 2 months of no trimming, I see that she was not the best stylist for my kind of hair. Anyways, I might just use some of these hair accessories from urbanoutfitters.com to doll up my hair during the Spring and Summer. They are so pretty :).

Goodness! I am again hooked on UrbanOutfitters instead I should be checking on this site auto insurance for low income.

money matters.

Early of last month, I read a lot of news and articles that economic predictions for this month is good. However, it's almost the end of April yet I do not see any improvements in terms of our economy. Improvements in terms of unemployment rates and recession. I still read and watch news about never-ending retrenchment, layoffs and even company closures. It is just so sad. I wish this economic crisis would end soon. However, other articles would also mention that some stocks investments are picking already. Speaking of stocks options and trading, you might want to check out this iron condor that could be found at poweropt.com. They also have some tips on how to maximize your stocks investment.

LV Graffiti in Orange

I guess by now, most of you have seen the LV Graffiti line which was introduced by Steven Sprouse. I know many loved the pink line and for those who are fashionably experimental would go for the green. But if I had the chance to own one, I would choose the orange line :)

Lovely, aren't they?
All photos from Eluxury.com.

I have always been fascinated by graffiti and cad drawing.

the hammock, the celeb, the bag!

On our way to the beach yesterday, I brought along a couple of fashion and women magazines to catch up with my backlog. Yes, I subscribed in a lot of women's, health, fashion and cooking magazines but I barely touch them because of course, my school books are my priority these days. Anyways, there was one print ad that caught my attention, it was shot in one of the prestigious cancun hotels with a female hollywood actress sleeping on a hammock with a beautiful designer bag! I was taken away by the ad, it was so relaxing in a lucrative manner. I wonder when I'd be able to visit cancun, Mexico. Hmmm, put that in my travel wish list :).

Spring inspiration #3

Coach has been very consistent since the collection they showcased in Fall of last year. Ever since they have been surprising their customers with new and exciting line such as their Spring Collection called the Bonnie line :).

From shoes to bags, I am literally drooling!
But if you've got limited budget for a bag, these bags are nice to have on Spring and Summer but definitely will be out of trend in Fall and especially in winter :).

Like the collection?

fetish!

I confess, I have a public comfort room fetish. I can hold my pee if the public C.R. is dirty. When I say a restaurant or a mall is very nice, I meant they also have clean and very accessible comfort rooms. How about those, public comfort rooms that come with handicapped toilet seats? Isn't that a bonus factor even more. If you have a business shop or a restaurant that require you to put public C.R. I guess these handicapped toilet seats are important for you to consider. You can check out these handicapped-friendly Comfort Room what-nots at Allegro Medical.

Spring inspiration #2

Okay, these accessories do not require me to be thin :). hee hee.
I did not know that Charlotte Russe has dainty accessories and mind you, their rates are way way cheaper than Forever21 which some stuff tarnish over a period of time.

Etsy is still my number one source of good costume and designer jewelry as the quality is very good but of course, price are way higher than typical retail stores.

Although these finds are hard to resist especially priced starting at $5.00, yes 5 bucks :).

Spring inspiration #1

I started this inspiration category so as I could lose as much weight in such a short span of time as I could. You see, I have been dying to wear all the dresses I have been posting here but my big bulges, particularly in my tummy is hindering me from wearing them and even buying them. Hopefully this inspiration thread would make me more determined to consistently work out and stick to my diet.

women and their countries

Do you ever notice that women in specific countries would dress uniformly or significantly than women from other countries? I have noticed that for quite some time now. I am always fascinated by this fact especially if I browse on shopping websites which promote the different stores and shopping areas that are categorized by country. Say for instance, women from Japan can be very fashionable bordering on high and futuristic fashion get-ups as for women in Korea can be very trendy and experimental. But what about women from countries who are leaders of fashion such as France, Italy and U.K. I for one love the Parisienne because they are so chic and so well put-together. While the people from U.K. particularly women from London are so nicely dressed any season of the year. With these random women dressing up and their countries' thoughts in my mind, I happened to chanced upon a site calle QYPE which makes interesting reviews on restaurants such as these indian restaurants london and post photos of all other shopping areas in London such as this one in the photo called Charles Tyrwhift. According to members of Qype who made their reviews on this shopping area, apparently, this store carries the best of the best brands available in London.
Moving forward to what other features the site offers, I have also chanced upon different listings on hostels london and cinemas london. The site as it, is a good web resource of the best places and every little thing you are looking for when in London. They have a vast information with easy and user-friendly web page design stored with beautiful photos and easy to understand map so you know how to get to a certain are in London. Also, you can create your own account to get access in some of the photos as well as reviews and testimonials from other members. Who knows you might also be able to meet a lot of interesting people based in London. Check out the site for more information, sign up for a free membership now and start making your own review.

N-I-C-E.

Time flies so fast and it's April!
This would also be my last week of school break and boy how fast it went, very short. I have yet a couple of things to accomplish in my school break to-do-list such as to research on these Mesothelioma lawyers, create a photobook for my son's 1st year (that's very impossible to finish!), etc...But, this week is also Holy Week and despite the fact that this week is a time off for others, lest we must not forget to repent, pray and renew our faith.

Have a blessed Holy Week to everyone.
Here's sharing a quote I saw from http://vi.sualize.us.
