Allegrina Ballet Flats in Scarlet

Tadah! I bought a pair of Prima Allegrina Ballet Flats in Scarlet with the shopping money I got from the Cotton Thread event.

Allegrina Scarlet size 6 PhP 1995

At first fit, the toe box or toe cap was a little narrow, I asked for the next size available, a size 7, but the fit was not right. I settled for a size 6 with the thought of breaking it in. I was glad that I followed my instinct. I am so happy with my purchase!

Baby Proofing: Secure-A-Lock & Outlet Cover w/ Keys

Now that baby girl is able to crawl and walk with the help of a traditional walker called andador, it's about time that I child proof (aka as Baby Proofing 101) our home.

 peek-a-boo! baby opening and closing cabinet doors

A few days ago, I posted the photo above on Instagram. Yesterday, I was surprised that she was able to reach a bottle of Bactidol inside. In the process, the bottle was dropped on the floor. Yes, it was a messy crime scene. Thank God, she was safe!

Anyway, after cleaning up the pile of mess. I vow to find a suitable preventive measure to prevent her from opening cabinet doors.

Coach Bag: Parker Leather Medium Carryall (F21626)

January 1, 2013

Coach
#1525 Ground Floor
Rinku Premium Outlets
458-4690

When DH and I went to Japan, we each packed 1 small suitcase inside a bigger suitcase. At the Customs Area, the inspector requested to open one of our suitcases. He was puzzled by what he saw, no wonder he asked us about it. DH curtly replied, "My wife likes to shop." I think that answer was good enough because the officer did not ask anymore questions and immediately zippered back our luggage ; p

Anyway, one of the many things I bought was this Coach Parker Leather Medium Carryall in Rinku Premium Outlets in Osaka. Isn't she a beauty?

JPY 70,000 35,000 24,500 (PhP12,250)

I have 2 other Coach bags. Both of which were bought from Woodbury Common Premium Outlet in New York in 2008. I already wrote an entry on how to spot a fake Coach, you can read it here. So, this entry is all about the details of this bag.

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

OOTD at Ayala Triangle Makati

I was in Makati last Friday together with my parents in support of my sister who graduated Valedictorian in the 5th PSE- ATENEO Certified Securities Specialist Course (PSE-Ateneo CSSC). Anyway, we were there 3 hours prior to the event. While waiting, we ate at Chef Laudico's BFAST and collected my free drinks courtesy of HSBC credit card in Starbucks. 

at Ayala Triangle, Makati

I saw a photo opportunity while walking towards the restaurant row. My mom, who is by now used to taking my photos, was instructing on how to angle my body towards the camera. That's why my body is a bit contorted in the following photos lol
