Kas būtu ielu mode bez apaviem?

Sveikas!

Ir pienācis laiks Jums atklāt vietu uz paradīzi... Jūs jautātu, kas tā par paradīzi? Tad es Jums atbildētu: tā paradīze ir apavu veikals. Kāds? Tas piepildīts ar Dan Sullivan izlolotiem apaviem un somām. Labi, pavisam atklāti, mazajā dāmu paradīzē ir atrodamas Irregular Choice somas un kurpes, un šo veikalu sauc "Sole Sisters", to var sameklēt Galerijā Centrs 4.stāvā.

Lai dalītos iespaidos par apaviem, es varu tikai ieteikt, atnāc un paskaties pati. Tālāk tavas kājas un rokas rīkosies pašas, jo apavi izskatās tik glīti un oriģināli, ka pretoties nav iespējams. Pašlaik veikalā ir rudens/ziemas kolekcija, kas ir iekrāsojusies piezemētākos toņos, pelēkā, melnā, taču, ja ir vēlēšanās sagādāt sev ko spilgtāku... nekādu problēmu, ir gan sarkani, gan tirkīzzili un zaļi apavi.

Lai veikala klienti justos īpaši, mēs uzklausam un ņemam vērā visu, piemēram, ja ir kāda vēlme pēc konkrētiem apaviem, kuri ir noskatīti www.irregularchoice.com, tad to var izteikt vai nu veikalā, vai sūtīt uz veikala e-pastu.
Protams, uz visu interesējošo jautājumu, cik tad maksā, atbilde ir šāda: somas maksā sākot no 20-50Ls, kurpes sākot no 40-70 Ls un zābaki sākot no 60-120 Ls.

Varu pačukstēt: 1)ik pa laikam veikala twitter kontā izspēlējam konkursus, kur var iegūt atlaižu kuponus; 2)jau nākošās nedēļas sākumā iepriecināsim ar jaunu somu pievedumu.

Informāciju par veikalu var uzzināt:
facebook lapā un veikala twitter kontā. Visus interesējošos jautājumus var rakstīt uz veikals@beautystock.lv
Gaidīsim ciemos jau rīt!


Paldies Beātei un Anetei par bildēm!

Take home

When I'm in Singapore, home is husband, house, work and routine. But the moment I touch down in Manila, home is my friends, my mom and my mad, unbelievable city. Every trip becomes a search for and rediscovery of pieces of myself to take back with me, so that I never really leave home... and home ends up being wherever I am.

And so after a week and a half back home, this is what I have brought home with me.

Triple-certified birth and marriage certificates for our Dutch work visas. The main purpose of our trip was to get our NSO-certified documents authenticated by the DFA, then legalized by the Dutch embassy, before submitting them to the relocation agency, who will be applying for our visas in the Netherlands.

I must say the process was a lot less painful than I thought it would be! I was really impressed with the DFA; I went in my grottiest outfit, ready to sweat it out for at least half a day, but both our visits (to submit and to pick up the documents) lasted for no longer than half an hour. Progress at last!

New clothes. Thanks to the miracle that is foreign exchange, Manila always means cheap shopping for me now. (Oh the days when Landmark was the pinnacle of my consumer ambitions!) I scored a dress from Cecile Van Straten's new collection for Heather Miss Grey, a jewel-print tee from the Ramon Valera collection at Freeway, plus a funky cat-print blouse from one of the small stores at Anthropology in Rockwell. 

A whopping crush on Akihiro Sato. On Friday night in Bantayan, I flipped on the TV while getting ready to go out to dinner. Big mistake. Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown was on, and it kept us glued to the boob tube for a full hour. That must have been the most telegenic final four on Survivor, ever. I'd seen Aki before but with the full grizzly beard... rawr! Kume-Keanu Reeves ito!

New books for my already tall pile of unread tomes. After cheap clothes, cheap books are always a great buy. I found Beauty and Spindle's End by Robin McKinley (highly recommended by Gutsy, the YA lit expert), The Fashion File (a book on the style of Mad Men, by its costume designer Janie Bryant), and Nina Garcia's Little Black Book of Style, each for less than I'd pay for a taxi ride in Singapore. By far, though, the best book buy of the trip was Pacific Rims by Rafe Bartholomew.

I've never sat through an entire PBA game in my life, but I was astounded at how many memories this book dug up for me, how many names rang so many bells. Everything people have told me about this book—that you can't put it down, you'll laugh out loud, you'll love it even if you don't like basketball—is absolutely true.

A few new pounds. I managed to check off quite a few items on the list of my favorite comfort foods on this trip. Chocolate chip pancakes at Pancake House, a Regular Yum with Cheese at Jollibee, coffee pie at Cafe 1771, and pritong saging na saba at my mom's were just a few of the highlights. And of course, danggit and Cebu mangoes every day in Bantayan!

Freckles and a tan. Thanks to four days of sun and surf in Bantayan (plus two more beach trips scheduled for December), I am now well on my way to being the envy of all the Dutch with their pasty midwinter complexions!

A papier-mache and resin horse. How random is that? About two years ago, a hundred different Filipino artists took part in an auction that had them apply their own artistic touch to a taka, or a traditional papier-mache figure from Paete, Laguna. I got wind of it online and ended up buying a taka by sculptor Juan Sajid Imao, son of National Artist Abdulmari Imao and perhaps best known to us Ateneans as the maker of the crucifix at the Church of the Gesu.

I bought it sight unseen and it turned out to be huge! So the taka got stuck at my mom's for a while, and eventually it had to be repaired. I sent it back to Sajid, who was gracious enough to repair it, fortify it with a hardier structure and pack it for transit. 

We took it on the plane back to Singapore with us, and we get to bring it with us to Amsterdam with no shipping costs involved. It was also awesome to meet Sajid and his wife, who are such a warm and gracious couple.

Food for the heart and soul. Friends, family, music, and laughter... all the stuff that home is about.

I also ended up taking home a whopper of a flu that leveled me for four days after I got back. But considering how ragged I got running around and zipping back and forth to get this huge bounty of take-home goodies, maybe I should've expected it!

Evening Dresses - 1965

What a difference 10 years makes! Today, we continue our look at evening wear through the decades with the 1960s. Gone are the full skirted styles and tiny waists of 1955. In 1965, shapes are more relaxed and elaborate fabrics and trimmings abound. Sequins, beads and bangles. Brocades, embroideries, and heavy laces. Asian influences, pants, and the beginnings of op-art all show up. Oh, and don't forget the big, big hair! Enjoy these evening looks from 1965.

Right: Maurice Roger black gown covered in beads from head to toe.
Left: Jean Patou black silk chiffon with heavy Venice lace bodice.

Ted Lapidus elaborate brocade evening suit.

Pierre Cardin sequined gown with pop art dots.

Bill Blass for Maurice Rentner brocade backless top over pink evening pants.

Capucci op-art satin dress and jacket trimmed in ostrich feathers.

Is the 1960s your decade of choice?

Travelling

Taiwan. I'm EXCITEDDDDDD. But I always get excited regardless of the country I'm going.

I hate sitting on an airplane, though. The humidity plus constrictiveness is effectively nausea-inducing. I used to dread cinemas because they used to remind of sitting an airplane. Got over it, though. Thank goodness. Now... if only I can stop dreading airplanes.

Invent teleportation, please? The amount of time wasted on transportation is absurd. Don't you hate it when the time taken to get there is more than the time spent there? >:( The longest flight I've had was about 21 hours. To America. Transit in-between, but still! Bleurgh! America was fun, though!

Looked on the itinerary and ZOMG, we're spending a night at "FLYING COW LEISURE FARM". Flying cow? Seriously? All I'm getting is cows with strap-on wings like in Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

I'm going to find some flying cows. I hope I don't get dissapointed and find it's nothing but a name. OH BABY GIVE ME SOME WINGS.

Also spent bloody 6 hours scouring for lovely illegal music downloads. Muse. Linkin Park. 30 Seconds to Mars. Eminem. I love Rock music. Ta-dah, I've found my genre! Some music to entertain me during bloody transportation time.

Bought packets of Maggi Mee for the maid to sustain herself when we're gone. She said it made her hair fall out. And then my dad smiled and said, "No, it's good for you! Lose more hair, grow more hair!".

Coming back on next Tuesday.

TA-DAH~~~~~~~~

KAWAN UNTUK SELAMANYA

RING A SLING

wooohooo,finally dpt gak beli baby sling ni! dah lama nak sgt sbb pakai baby carrier turun temurun buatkan bahu aku sakit sampai ke belakang. nasib baik dpt beli masa gi baby expo jumaat ari tu so tak payah la beli dalam online. lagipun rasa was2 la nk beli online sbb tak tau material kain tu elok ke,tebal ke, ring dia senang patah ke so tu yg buatkan aku teragak2 nk beli. tu yang beriya sgt nk gi expo tu sbb nk cari baby sling je.

pusing punya pusing last skali jumpa la jugak booth yg jual baby sling tu product from MUMMYHUGS. mula2 cam tak nak beli tp bila pikir balik benda tgh buat promotion tu yg kena gak beli sbb dah murah. mmg puas hati sbb comfortable sgt and xde la rasa sakit2 bahu lgi, at least the baby also duduk selesa gak.

so next time kalau ada ape2 expo about baby stuff should go la sbb time tu la diorang ada buat mcm promotion. errrkk,cam biasa kemalasan mula melanda jdi sudah kering idea la pulak. 

jumpa next time ngan entry lain la ye..

assalamualaikum

THE BABIES!!!

entry this time about babies la ekkk... okayyyy, starting with my sister nina yg dh pun dpt 2 adorable baby kittens yg trsangat la comelsss mcm mak dia aka ming ming. aku pulak mmg suka usik ming ming sprt jua aku mengusik ank2 buah aku yg lain but this time aku suka amik baby ming ming and tgk gelagat seekor kucing bergelar ibu yg terlalu risaukan anak dia. nk dijadikan citer aku pun amik la baby ming ming and kurung mummy dia dlm bilik so that takde la dia kacau aku main2 ngan anak dia. hahaha sgt kejam diriku,oohh yeahhh!!

jdi dpt la aku main2 ngan ank dia walaupun ank2 dia memekak je kuat tp cute! aku pun letak la kat adli but luckily adli tak pulak nk gomoi teruk2 si chess tp bila chess start dtg kt adli,dia pun merangkak ke belakang balik sbb takut trpenyet si chess nnti tak pasal2 jadik kucing penyet bukan ayam penyet ye. 

 mikail with babies..

 little ones....

adli playing with chess..

so like tengok baby bermain sama ngan babies cuma berbulu je la. elok lak dua2 merangkak dan menggigil kaki. menurut sister ku nina, ming2 ni dianggap sprti anak pompuan dia cuma version berbulu la jadi anak2 kucing ni merangkap cucu sedara berbulu aku la...

oklah kemalasan sudah melanda dan kaki ku sudah melecet sbb kasut ku yg dh off season tu. oklah sambung kemudian ngan entry lain ye. chooowwwww...

assalamualaikum

from me to u..

Hibernating

Someone posted this on facebook. Hohoho. I still have that photo.

I used to have really long hair in Primary and then chopped it off for Secondary. My mum liked to tie them into two pigtails and pretend I'm Sailormoon.

I have short hair to chop getting ready time for school. :D Sometimes I feel like my face is too big when no hair is covering a part of it. And then there's Eunice's vision where I grow my hair long and broke down crying.

Now, I guess I'll leave my hair alone and see if I'd break down someday. Long story!

Had spontaneous sleepover last night. I'm afraid of getting old and never being able to do sleepover. It's hard to sleep having a person next to you though. I can't shut up. Said good night to Natalie thrice before sleeping. I wonder what does sleeping with your husband feels like...

It also scares me when a beautiful swan turns into an old hag after marrying a guy and getting so accustomed to domestic life and being "homely". Or when the attraction and spark is not there with your husband. Hnngh, will see what it's like. Someday.

I am also feeling very dizzy with sleeping. Stupid sleeping cycle TERBALIK.

Bye peeps. I hope you can't sleep too. :)
