formal shoes hunting.

Do you still remember my entry about how difficult it was for me to shop for the perfect formal sandals to match my cocktail dress I wore to hubby's cousin's wedding? So, one of things I told my mom to get me as a present when she visits us are formal sandals and pumps in Manila because they come out to be much cheaper than regular shoes that are being sold here. Until I chanced upon Endless.com, it is my first time to see the site and they have every formal and party shoes and sandals you want to shop for. Make sure to check out discount coupons before checking out those cart, I got some amazing discount and huge deals of coupon codes from CouponTrunk.com.

Jacket&Sweater variations.

My micro sd card needs to be emptied because of a picture-filled Sunday tomorrow. But before I upload those photos and post it in my flickr, let me write this last entry of the day. Don't you just get easily bored strutting those jackets and sweaters that we get to use only during Fall or Winter? Especially if the style and design are the regular and classic ones, thanks to these variation of sweaters, jackets and yes, even robes I saw at Neiman Marcus. Now, let your eyes feast on these :). If shopping budget is not an issue, I would love to have all of these yay! Have a good weekend everyone!

searching for the perfect black flats.

I consider a good pair of black flat shoes one of the most important staple shoes a girl should have in her shoe closet. So yes, I am in the search for a good one especially since I might (hope) be joining the workforce next year. I am in deep regret that I have returned the Steve Madden black shoes which was on huge sale during the Tax-Free weekend. It was half-inch bigger than my regular shoe size but it still fits me perfectly, not to mentioned it was only $19 at that time. Bad move, really.

Anyways, here are my top picks. Elizabeth & James, Steve Madden and Tory Burch, respectively.

mixture of colors.

I forgot to write about this artist who vandalizes Leading Fashion Designer logos which comes out to be very beautiful and unique logos, which I read from another blog. The dripping and mixture of colors brought out of his vandalism are for me very awesome. However, not everyone agreed and so he got some subpoenas brought about by his illegal vandalism. Anyways, it reminds me of the paintball gears worn with paint splatters after a fun game. Have you played one in your life? I suggest you try it because, it is such a fun game. Some say it can be pricey but these affordable paintball packages I saw at ZephyrPaintBall.com will make you want to grab a playmate and block off a day and try Paintball!

plus size models are in.

I just saw this photo from The Sartorialist, be sure to add them in your GoogleReader or Bloglines feeds, I love that site. Anyways, this is a cover of magazine showing a regular woman with all the flabs in her body and still very happy and comfortable with the way she looks :). Reminds me of this saying:

The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress. ---Hubert de Givenchy

Do you think this campaign will stop women from starving themselves to get the standard lean and sexy bod?

Autumn screams Tights/Stockings

I heard from a friend that NYC is getting to be a little chilly in the latter part of the day, hmmm is summer over in the East Coast? Yay! I honestly could not wait for Autumn to come but I hope it won't be too cold that I could still wear the gladiators my mom bought for me in Manila. I love Autumn because it gives me a chance to dress the way I want to and I do not need to bundle up too much. Perhaps these stockings/tights from Urban Outfitters can match my flats and sandals while during the winter, these need to be covered with boots eh?! Anyways, I can't wait for my parents to come here so we could take advantage of the fine weather in Fall. I might stock up a few netbooks for them during the winter because I know they'd be bored at home when the weather won't allow us to leave the house.

medical buying group

I was meant to research on something as my finals is nearing and my case study is 3 days late (yay!), but then I chanced upon this U.S. Physician's Purchasing Group and thought about sharing this site and medical profession group here. I always make sure to share informative and helpful sites especially if it concerns my constant readers :). If you are looking for discounted prices on vaccines, medical surgical supplies and other medical office services, you can check out USPPG with website at WWW.USPPG.ORG.

AUTUMN=PURPLE=FALL

I just love this new advertorial from COACH! I want the vintage and soft effect of the photo, I want myself in that photo too lol!

I told you, purple is truly the flagship color of Autumn, no wonder this is my most favorite season :).

focus!

I remembered reading from a site which features tips on decluttering and minimizing unnecessary purchase that one of the most effective tips in avoiding impulsive buying is to avoid online shopping! That and stop subscribing to sale alerts! I should be checking on this insurance quote but I found myself going through my sale alert emails boohoo! I just love these from UrbanOutfitters. But then, I have shopped enough clothes with my online friends from CausewayMall. They sell very cheap but quality and pretty clothes. Will write about that when my stuff are shipped to me.

Go Chinese MaryJanes.

Still on shoes...
Did you ever wear those Chinese maryjanes back in the old days? I did not. Although, I was begging my mom to buy me a pair of those back then. Look what I saw at UrbanOutfitters hee hee, I love the variety haha!

ALDO huge sale.

A friend forwarded me her ALDO discount coupon as I was checking on some Ferrari parts. Of course, I was not able to resist their very cheap-O price slashed more than half PLUS free shipping. These are what I got :). They arrived late last week. You cannot believe how much I only paid for these 3 shoes and yes, ALDO accepts Paypal hee hee.

I asked me mom to buy me some dress/formal sandals back home, you know the fancy ones because they are really expensive here. I was shocked when I was looking for a pair of formal sandals to match my dress for the wedding. Anyways, my mom ended buying me 2 pairs of FLAT gladiator sandals hahah! I know I may sound like the Boy Who Cried Wolf but yes, this would be my last shopping purchase at least for the next 3 months or so :). If I fasted on food, I will fast on shopping too, I can do it :) Self Control is the key.

Yum-O, Fab-O!

Saw this at JustBeSplendid.Tumblr.com and reminds me of my Russian Classmate. This should have been her giveaways on her recent party. Fantastico!

Alexis Bledel!

My fashion icon list includes petite Hollywood actresses, not models. Kate Bosworth, Reese Witherspoon, Michelle Williams, and Rachel Bilson to name a few. Probably because I am a petite girl too. Anyhow, I added Alexis Bledel in my list because I just love her simplicity in Gilmore Girls and her vintage outfit in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. She's so lean too, but in a feminine way and very very sexy in a wholesome way. I wonder how she ever burn fat! So, just imagine when I saw this photo of hers, totally out of her character but very well-executed :). Nevertheless, she was a model first before entering the showbizz.

hohum!

Looks like before we get a DSLR, we need to get a new Laptop or Personal Computer. Nope, my laptop is working very VERY well and hubby's PC is also A-okay but we can't work together at the same time when the little one is awake. He is now a certified laptop user, so he takes over my laptop and I take over hubby's PC. So what happens with hubby? He ends up not being able to finish some reports uh-huh! So instead of getting the little one a new lappy, it is I who will get a new one and he will get my old laptop wheee :) Sounds like a perfect deal for me.

Speaking of getting one, do you know of this Computer Buying Guide I found at ShopWiki? I always frequent that site because it not only gives me the best deals and cheapest online resources but also very informative tips and information of buying guides. I guess I have to start re-reading their computer buying guide which I bookmarked a long time ago.

ROO V.2
