Indulging again my OWSS {Online Window Surf Shopping} Obsession last night. And here’s some of my picks from various shopping sites. I was looking for pretty, dressy evening shoes that wouldn’t cost me $50 and I picked out 14 of them..

I love doing this, hahaha it satisfies my craving to ‘shop’, I sometimes add them to cart and leave them as is. It doesn’t cost me anything, except a few hours of satisfying hopping about, and I also get to share my picks with everyone.

My Picks: Elegant Little Black Dresses

Posted in Women's Apparel | 1 comment

Holidays… and the party season is here again. There something really frenzied in the air when November is about to end and December is fast approaching. A lot is on my mind. My Christmas gift shopping, decorating the house, our Christmas dinner menu, schedules- I mean party schedules.

And that doesn’t end there. One has to think about what to wear on numerous parties you have to attend. And a girl has to prep for that, right? For others, tanning lotions are not enough but a visit to a tanning salon is a must, a body scrub, waxing etc,etc. Sigh! I’m beginning to wonder if hubby is right, being a woman is indeed complicated. Lol!

I’m pretty sure one of the things ladies out there are getting frantic about is what to wear for parties. Well, I put together some of the latest little black dresses you might wanna grab. I love little black dresses, they are easy to accessorize and you can change the total look just as easily.

Handbag Pick of the Week 11: Burberry Studded Leather Knight Bag

Posted in Fashion, Handbag Picks | 0 comments

I figured I picked some colorful bags these past weeks so this time I’m going for something classic. But of course, something still with a little twist of modern.

My pick? Burberry Studded Black Leather Knight Bag, classic structure with a touch of modernity from the stud details. I love it coz it just goes with that military look trend so popular now.
