NAIL IT! (Maybe Not Quite Literally)

We have always loved nail polish because it could easily make someone's day. We feel like there is this certain rush every time you approach the nail polish counter to pick a nail color that best reflects your mood. Once they are applied on your nails, not only are your hands and feet well-groomed they also serve as instant accessories. Hence, we want to make sure you pick the best color for the right mood, event, and season. 

On choosing trendier and on-season hues, it seems practical to buy your own bottle unless its really cheap i.e. below Php100 so as to save you a trip to the nail spa. Otherwise, if it's a standard or a safe color that you could really rely on, go for a bottle of Orly. The brand really offers a wide range of colors that are of quality too. They come up with new collections that are seasonal and shades that could be any girls go-to nail polish. There seems to be no substitute for it unless you have contemplated enough on getting that Chanel bottle which easily robs you Php1500.

For 2011, Spring is in the air and here are the top picks for our nails.

Joy Luck Club for the Joys of My Life

So the search for the best V-DAY gift for the Family is over.
I finally found something both different and very VERY affordable!

Erika's February Wish List

And here is "The List" that will definitely get me broke very soon...

1) The Mulberry Alexa in Oak

This retails around PHP 60,000 in Hong Kong but I hear you can get it much cheaper via Net-a-Porter.com and have it sent to you through Singapore to bypass customs. hehe. (You didn't hear this from me)

I am actually torn between the Oak and the Purple one but alas, I have to be practical but still in a lavish kinda of way. I know, I know. Baad!

There's more after the jump!

Shoe Report: Spring/Summer 2011

5 Reasons to LOVE THIS SEASON'S shoes

1. Aqua, hot pink, purple, or even orange could be our own color-of-the-moment. And good news is- these can all be seen in this year’s collections. That right pop of color may just be what we need to spruce up our carried-over-from­-last-season’s wardrobe.

Balenciaga

Christian Dior

Dries Van Noten

Loco Over Loafers

The Loafer craze is back and I've been looking around for the perfect pair without having to sacrifice so much of my bank account. I know I should stop shopping considering I'm going to Hong Kong in a few days for a (un-derserved) R & R.

For Php 950, of course it's not leather. But nevertheless, the style was perfect and I guess I could use a few (or many!) cheap thrills. This is what I would sacrifice lunch for.

This is why I want to name my daughter Chloe...

I've always loved the name Chloe although it has now become exceedingly popular.

chloe\ as a girl's name is pronounced KLOH-ee. It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Chloe is "blooming". From Khloe, originally used in the classical period to symbolize the fertility goddess Demeter. May be connected with Chloris. Appears in the Bible, and as a name in literature, especially in the tale of Daphnis and Chloe, set to music by Ravel. Adopted by Puritans in the 17th century.

But the real reason I love the name 'Chloe' is because of these...
