FOREVER 21 Keeps it Fresh with a Fashion First

 When Los Angeles, California-based fashion giant Forever 21 opened in the Philippines, the brand introduced both scale, volume, and reachable style heights for the country's burgeoning stylish set, with an outstanding array of choice in the latest trends, a hip space, unbeatable prices, and friendly service - all culminating in a shopping experience that was the first of it's kind.

The service aims to make shopping an easier and more intuitive experience, with a unique touch from Forever 21's in-house stylists.

The Forever 21 Style Insider service begins with a personalized consultation. The Forever 21 stylist then creates a Style Prescription outlining the customer's body type and flattering fits and cuts for their shape. The Forever 21 stylist proceeds to curate pieces from Forever 21's expansive collections to suit the prescription.

No more hunting for the right size, or searching for the perfect color, or being unsure if the latest trend is appropriate - Forever 21's stylist do the hard work so you can enjoy a fuss-free and fun shopping experience.

Reva Flip Flops and a Teal Surprise!

I used to love heels and wedges, but ever since the babe started running, got pregnant again, and now nursing a wound (hurray for  cesarean section - it's a way to save angels!), I exchange my stilettos to comfy slip-on shoes! And mind you, my latest find made me a bit more crazy than usual!

It's the Reva Footwear! This is worth the rave because of it's simple designs and comfort. I prefer comfort than style when it comes to footwear - so this brand is something that delighted me. It really is promising, plus the fact that it's not just good on my feet, it's good on my wallet too!

What's in my Reva Footwear shopping bags? :D

Well, the babe helped me out on carrying the bags so... Thanks babe! The paper bag was crumpled but no damaged good! :) Chores for toddlers? Here.

I got these flip flops on sale!

I love the flower fringe and the white polka dots!

The teal surprise? This.

The details are good. The linings are nice and white dots? Yes please!

Why does these mint green soles reminds me of an ice cream flavor with chocolate drops? I must be famished! I guess I have to end this post already!

Oh my! Now you know my size! :D

Shiseido MakeUp Session with BlessMyBag - What We Learned

It is not a whole week workshop or a month seminar, it is just an afternoon (2hours) of makeup demonstrated in front of us while giving makeup tips and tricks and as a makeup newbie and enthusiast, I learned a lot!

Cutting the chase, I'll share to you the mental notes I had during our Shiseido MAkeup Class with Ms. Julia of BlessMyBag when you're doing make up!

1)if you want to contour your nose during daytime, skip the "shadow" and focus on the highlight; that way you'll avoid looking like dirty mess. Of course you should blend the edges gently.

2)when choosing foundation, try to get the color close to your pulse; where you put your perfume to last - so you'll match your face to the color of your neck rather than the other way around, less foundation stain on the collar of your blouse or uniform ;)

3)liquid to liquid, powder to powder- to avoid blotches on the cheeks -liquid foundation to cream blush, powder foundation to baked blush. Breaking this rule is easy, just make sure to set your liquid foundation with powder first before applying powder blush.

4)Eyebrows can make the difference! Fill in the brows to make a person look younger and thin lines gives the opposite effect.

5)Another tip about doing the brows is - if you want your eyebrows to last longer, use an eyebrow pencil instead of powder.

6)If you are having a hard time with eyeliner on your tear ducts or you just don't want to deal with that nasty morning-glory-like in your eyes in the color of your eyeliner then end the line just before your tear ducts. Bonus - since you'll not have black liner in your inner corners, it'll pop your eyes = fresh looking! :)

There are times when shopping online gives me more convenience like when I can't get a goodnight sleep and I wanna do my shopping or see a catalog, all I have to do is get online! :D

It's an online fashion retailer here in the Philippines that offers major fashion brands from international and local suppliers, distributors, retailers and companies which caters different products for all, women, men and kids! :D Things are getting more exciting!

I know! :D

Why tired yourself with traffic and crowded malls especially during holidays (when the crowd can give you headache, forces you to do a hurried shopping which in the end will give you more problems, like finding a parking space, skin-to-skin contact with skin-infected-bad-smelling shoppers(let's face it, it happens!), walk loaded with shopping bags (snatch-risky) and sometimes WRONG items bought or less quality because of lack of choices! SMH tsk tsk) when Zalora offers free door to door shipping nationwide! When you wont make it to a special occasions, now there's no more excuses for not sending gifts! And if your like me, who loves to surprise my loved ones with unexpected gifts, you'll gonna abuse the free shipping! hehe Since no matter where they are, they'll gonna get it!

If ever I'll get the chance to splurge on shopping, it would be online at Zalora! Why, conventional shopping makes me spend a lot more than whats on my budget, like eating out, car gas and impulsive shopping (talented salesladies and SALES always get me)! My eyes are on XOXO, 5CM, Gibi and The Little Things She Needs! :D

After browing the site, here is my Zalora shopping wishlist:

That's it! It took me several browsing hours to choose, check the site to know why! :D If you're wondering about my choices, like I said  I wanna share things with my love-ones, even in dreams and wishes. <3 <3 <3

Online Game: Sorority Life

When I was a child, I used to play paper dolls with different kind of cut-out clothes...

just like these :)

Well, I find an online game that basically looks like these but obviously with more features! :D I love to dress up the little me! hehehe

The name of the game...

so girly, right?

Here are the major things of the game:

Socialize, Style, Job and Glam

Socialize: There are different events to organize, which will give the player and her house some influence, earn some cash and get some glam. Plus, when you reach different levels it will unlock new outfits, new events, jobs and sometimes some brownie points that can be used to buy special glam that can't be bought by cash alone.. :)

socialize tab

Style: The glam you get in socializing are collected and can be used to dress up the little you! :D  You get to choose your skin-tone,  accessories which includes hair, eyewear, shoes, neckwear, bracelets, tights, pets and extras like bags, key chains, cellphones, etc. its endless! :D Clothing is categorized from casual wear, cocktail, formal, costume and athletic! The things in this sections are from latest fashion finds to surreal things! And its cute! ;P

Strut your stuff, other players even not your sisters could vote for your fab look!

walk off

Ask your sisters to vote for your one on one show down on the cat walk! :) and brag about your brownie point glam by joining the

costume contest tab

Job: Each clothes have popularity and charm rate. :) And of course, it must have an upkeep, that you should compensate with cash that socializing cannot cover. Seriously, you must have a job! LoL

Here's an SL tip: Earn a regular income by taking a job in your spare time. Hot Tip: greater influence means better job opportunities!

Glam: here is where you can buy rides and boys! LOL It's like an online shopping for your virtual cash and brownie points. There are the basics that equals cash and there are the Latest Style and Vintage Boutique that can only be bought by brownie points. So collect brownie points, ok? :)

The more popularity ans charm you've got, the better you'll do in fight, and higher gratitude in the burnlist! :D

There's a lot more to the game! Like the Swag that contain goodies, essentials, trinkets and vanities. I love the trip abroad, not just because of the cute graphics but because I've learned about the place myself while playing! The design internship, stealing of sweethearts and having online friends! :D

The game is continuing to improve and it's getting more complicated, in a good way :P It's endless!

Have you tried SL before? :)
