Online Purchase: Casio A178WGA-1ADF (Gold & Black)

Since I am home most of the time, I recently discovered the joy of online shopping ; ) I ordered this Casio vintage watch from a trusted seller. It was delivered yesterday as we have agreed upon.

As soon as I stepped inside my home, our helper handed a small package. I knew that it contains this stunning gold and black watch.

 Casio Vintage Watch A178 PhP 2,000

Eager to see the content inside, I tore the package apart immediately. I only thought of taking photos for this post right after I gushed at how stunning the watch looks like ; p

Choosing this watch was not an easy decision. Casio Japan has so many vintage watches and I was tossing between Casio B640W in Rose Gold and this watch. Unfortunately, B640W is out of stock ; (

Lunch at Early Bird Breakfast Club + OOTD

January 25, 2013

Early Bird Breakfast Club

(located at the Ground floor of URBN)

Unit 2 G/F Fort Pointe 2 Building

28th Street, The Fort Complex,

Bonifacio Global City, Taguig

Happy Monday everyone!

I just want to share with you an outfit post. I know, right? It has been awhile. After feeling fat and horrible from what I ate last holiday, I finally have the guts to take some photos hahaha

Chorizo and Mushroom Risotto PhP 465

Anyway, before I show you my OOTD, let me share with you what I ate during the launching of United Colors of Benetton Body Mists collection. As I wrote in my previous entry, the venue was at Early Bird Breakfast Club where you can have breakfast all day, everyday of the week! I was at Fort Pointe 2 twice in one week! First for Samsung Galaxy SIII and then for UCB ; p

Chorizo and Mushroom Risotto

Spanish chorizo and fresh mushroom risotto with Parmigiano Reggiano

First, I commend this restaurant for its food presentation. Tara of Chronicles of Vanity and I shared all dishes that are featured here. The picture you see above was actually just half of the dish but look at how it was presented, di ba? It was so nice pa din ; )

I thought that since we were splitting this dish into two, we would each have a few quantity of Spanish chorizo but on the contrary, I think there were five or more chorizos on my plate alone. The restaurant doesn't scrimp on its ingredients. I especially liked the Parmesan Cheese on top ; ) Eat this dish while it's warm. 

More dishes after the break + OOTD ; p

My first Yosi Samra (Fold Up Flats) Merlin in Gold

OMG! After my Aldo Lemmert post, I think I have gone crazy over shoes because I bought another pair over the weekend hahaha

While leisurely taking a stroll around Trinoma, I found an irresistible pair of metallic gold fold-up ballet flats called Yosi Samra. I didn't even know that Yosi Samra is a guy until I read the website's About page ; p

I was actually eying for Pabder Uomo Donna but I could not make up my mind which color or which design to get ; p Girls, huh?! UPDATE---> I finally found the design and color that I want but no size available huhuhu I can't sleep, eat and drink so I bought another pair of shoes yesterday. More about my new pair of shoes next week hahaha

Charm Sonia Limited Edition & J&C Super Clean Solutions Launch
Escolta
Manila Peninsula

Remember how I said that I had a pretty busy sched in this post? Well, the beauty event was the launching of a limited edition Charm Travel Pro Makeup Brush Set called Sonia and J&C Super Clean Solutions.

 Limited Edition Charm Travel Pro Sonia Makeup Brush Set PhP 2,750 and J&C Super Clean Solutions 120ml PhP 395

To commemorate Charm's 5th year anniversary, Sophie came up with a limited edition travel pro makeup brushes. The sticker found in front of the box gives you an idea that this time, Charm veered away from the cute pink brushes it is known for and come up with an elegant gold design which fits the stylish women today. 

“Sonia is my mom’s name and I am dedicating this first ever limited edition set to her.” A staunch supporter of her business venture, Sophie recalls how her mom was the one who got her the perfect swatch of the animal print fabric which houses the limited edition set. “There were a lot of challenges as it is in any business but my mom never failed to provide support every step of the way, I am just so lucky to have that,” Sophie Uy- owner of Charm

Meanwhile, J&C Super Clean Solutions for your makeup brushes is made especially for extremely busy individuals, Super Clean features a quick-drying solution that is perfect for people who need clean brushes right away. This special feature allows professional make-up artists to do several make-up jobs in succession, as well as enthusiasts to experiment and try several make-up swatches in a row. The solution is also fortified with spearmint oil to keep brushes fresh and in prime condition.

OOTD: School Girl look

These days attending events posed a great challenge because I am only allowed to wear white colored blouses/tops. It is another one of the tradition that shows respect for my deceased mother-in-law.

I attended two events last October 27, 2011, one in Makati Shangri- la Hotel and the other one in Society Lounge. This photo was taken during the Pond's event in Society Lounge.

What I am wearing:

• Blouse from Korea
• YB by BSN (Bossini)
• Shoes from Taiwan

The white blouse was given to me by a family friend. There are a couple more like this blouse in our family because my SIL and I wore it during the wake. 

24 Karat Gold Nails at Cozy Nail Lounge

My visit: August 25, 2011

Cozy Nail Lounge

Libis Quezon City

I was invited by Michelle for a pampering day last Thursday. Who am I to say no? I normally don't make any commitments on a Thursday- coding kasi! But for this one time, I made an exception specially since I have been raring to do it for awhile. Ok, even before I left for Hong Kong and that was almost month ago lol 

*now I really feel like a cougar... rawr!

It was an intimate gathering as only four of us were present- Michelle, Angela, Patricia Bermudez and I. Nonetheless, we had fun throughout the afternoon.

I am happy to say that I found the perfect gold color nail polish through Cozy Nail Lounge's wide range of ORLY nail lacquers. I really, really love it! Too bad it is limited edition and I can't find one anywhere else ; (

ORLY Nail Lacquers are Free from Formaldehyde, DBP & Toluene. It is safe to use even for pregnant women.

Manila Peninsula,

The invite to attend Jewelmer's Fete de la Femme, a high tea event, was very timely. If you have been reading my blog and an FB page liker, you know that I am an avid fan of Jewelmer. In fact, I am a proud owner of a pair of golden South Sea pearl studs. I am now in the midst of finding a perfect ring to go with it. 

Margherita collection

The event launched Jewelmer's Recordi Presiozi and Tutti Frutti collections. It started a bit late so I had a lot of time to take pictures of the pearls showcased in the far end section of the venue. The ring above got my attention because of its intricate design. Darn! I should have tried it on the spot. I wonder how much it cost. *sheepish grin*

Sunsilk inspired Nail Art!

I know this is a bit late because it's Monday already. I have been a working girl for the past couple of weeks so I was not able to fulfill a change of polish every Thursday.

So, anyway, while waiting for my family to pick me up on a Sunday afternoon, I got 30 minutes to spare. I took out my nail polish kit and made this new nail art creation inspired by Sunsilk Co- Creation Damage Repair shampoo!
