Skin Care and Make Up Mania

Posted in Beauty, Girl Talk | 0 comments

I’m mad about skin care. I shop like mad for skin care products, but though I’m a bit like a hoarder when it comes to skin care stuff, I always end up giving out what I buy. Lol! I love trying out new things but I always stick to the one that works for me. As for make-up, well…I’m not really that into it before. Mainly coz I’m too lazy to be bothered to put on makeup and also I don’t know how. I guess I didn’t have the patience. I also preferred the natural/nude look on my face {hahaha! that’s an excuse I know..} so I just stick to plain compact powders and lip gloss. I sometimes dab on a little mascara if I’m in a pissy mood but that’s the rest of my makeup regimen.

Lately though, I feel like I want to experiment and learn more about makeup. The only thing I fear though is if I invest on good makeup and end up going back to my old habit of not putting it on. But then I’m all psyched up and at least I would like to give makeup a go. At the very least I want to know how to properly apply an eye liner. At least the next time I need to have a full makeup face, I don’t need to sit for hours in  a salon.

So now this has become a bit of mania for me. I’ll be trying out more skin care stuff and will try to learn more about make-up. I know learning how to apply make-up would be like trying to figure out Aquatell.com reverse osmosis and how it works, but I wanna give it a shot. I guess now I fancy myself as a really ‘kikay’ girl.

Posted in Fashion, Handbag Picks | 0 comments

There’s is something so casual, breezy yet very chic about this Miu Miu raffia tote with leather trim. I guess I was kinda getting tired of seeing all leather. At least this one has a very interesting texture! This perfect summer tote bag is available at Net-a-Porter for $1,395.

I love that it can be carried and worn different ways. And I do that very chic look shown on the photos. The site says the look includes: Miu Miu cardigan, shorts, Kain top, Philippe Audibert cuff, Daisy Knights ring, K Jacques St Tropez shoes. Check out these items from the link above.

After this I’ll be cruising for some home decor items, metal step stools, home furnishings to feature. I’m kinda in the mood for some home styling as you can see on my previous posts and putting together different fashion looks has taken a back seat. But not to fret, I’m also assembling together some Fashion-for-Less looks and will be posting it soon.

Handbag Pick of the Week: Croco Pocket Satchel

Posted in Fashion, Handbag Picks | 0 comments

Time to up my posting frequency on this blog. I know I haven’t updated much, I was pretty much preoccupied with a lot of web projects. I was also hit with a little bout of blogging ‘block’? I think I’ve gotten my blogging groove back and was hopping about for the latest handbag arrivals I want to feature.

I was looking particularly for a tote but I changed my mind when I saw this satchel. Dooney & Bourke Croco Pocket Satchel available at Zappos for $298.

Love the total look. Sturdy but with a very distinct appeal and feminine look. Plus I love that it has lots of colors to choose from. Now, if money is not an issue, I would love to have some if not all the colors..

Bathroom Vanities for Her

Posted in Home and Living | 0 comments

Aha! It seems I have forgotten this blog has a home and living category. Hmm, I must have been pretty much hooked on fashion finds the past months. But let me correct that lapse with a post on home and living. If you ask me, one of the furnishings in the home that I most interested in.. nope not garage door parts. Teehee. Bathroom vanities.

You know that’s where we stow our precious beautifying products and thats where we clean up, peer in the mirror for horrors! acne, wrinkles? and whatnots. If I am to redo our house again, I would most definitely take time picking out a bathroom vanity. Here’s what I would pick…

Legion Furniture WA3138 Single Bathroom Vanity Cabinet from HomeLivingStyle – I love the clean sleek lines. The uncluttered look, and of course plenty of storage for trinkets.

Romi Double Bathroom Vanity Set – from HomeLivingStyle – very contemporary and has a very chic, boutique hotel look

Heirloom Single Bathroom Vanity Chest from HomeLivingStyle – if I opt for a decor that is opulent, I would love to have this vintage looking vanity. Lovely isnt it?
