I've always been a Havaianas fan and I know lots of you out there are too.

Havaianas recently held a design competition for kids. The winning design will be used to produce limited edition pairs, sales of which will benefit the kids of Operation Smile - an organization who help children with cleft palate.

There were 200 entries and out of those, here are the 10 finalists:

Yep, all these cute designs are made by kids. Can you imagine wearing one?

In the Pink

It's such a clichè for a girl to love pink. But I do love pink! This morning while reading some tweets I saw this tweeted by the BagSnob...

Mulberry Bayswater in Shocking Pink

So, it's not even pink... it's shocking pink! Even more pink coz it's made of patent-leather. It takes a lot of panache to carry this bag around. I'm willing to take that challenge!

(Available at Net-A-Porter)

Is it too late for a wishlist?!

I didn't make one this year coz I'm seriously trying to save for my son's school next year. Yep, time flies so fast. He's starting pre-school already!

Anyway, I can still wish though...

Bottega Veneta Chene Calf Wedge

Bottega Veneta Nero Calf Wedge

Yummy looking right?! I really love wedges. Gives me height and a little bit of comfort too! Wish! Wish!

L'Oreal Roll On...

Not for the underarms but for the face! I wanna try this one but hoping it has a shade that fits me. 

It's L'Oreal True Match! But now with a roll on applicator.

Lately I'm a make up junkie. Trying cosmetics here and there... I haven't seen this here in the Philippines though. It retails $12 on average. I really want to try it but kinda wary using the roller sponge over and over again. Hope it's washable, otherwise not hygienic. But holding off judgement on this one til I get to try it. 

Let me know if it's available here already!

I HATE YOU MFO! + I love Jeffrey!

Girl you're such a bad influence on me! 

Whenever I read MFO's blog I always find something I want. Grrr! I seldom go around the shoe section of SM Makati before but ever since she blogged about Jeffrey Campbell being sold there, I "browse" around more often. I have successfully avoided buying a pair coz those they didn't have what I wanted in my size (thank God!)

Now she goes and blog about new stuff coming in plus possible orders of those out of stock already. You're a temptress MFO! That's what you are! Haha! Dang, now I'm more determined to get these...

Just not sure if I want the Tick in black or tan...

And yes, I also want the Cashy

Also Brisbane Low in pink... (note the nail polish too! i luvet!)

And also Harlowe...

The thing is, Jeffrey Campbell shoes really fits my personality and style. The higher the heels and the more outrageous, the better. 

Sigh. it's always been like this with MFO... she's really "supportive" when it comes to shopping! Now I'm even more scared to visit her in Singapore. Two girls in Orchard Road... disastrous!

(Jeffrey Campbell shoes are available in SM Fashion Forum)

HeyWhereYou???

Some people are in panic mode right now, that includes me! I'm crossing my fingers that all my orders got thru coz some are Christmas gifts. What's the fuss? HeyWhereYou is having their 2nd Year Anniversary Sale online!

HeyWhereYou is an awesome online store. They carry brands you don't commonly see in stores and even in other online stores. My personal faves are the Mighty Wallet, Paez, PunchDrunkPanda and the quirky shirts from Binky Burrow. 

I guess you already know what I got...

Today, just for today, they are having a HUGE sale... up to 50% off. So, why don't you drop by their store and grab some stuff coz they are moving fast! 

Other Brands:

Ummm... you just have almost 23 hours to go...

Nail IT!

Looking at my nails while I blog makes me want to run to the nail spa for some pampering session. But today is not the day.

I've often chosen dark reds or purple shades lately. I wanna try something new like these fall colors from my favorite nail polish brands...

Paradoxal

Khaki Vert

Pokerface

Bad Influence

Witch's Blue

Vernis

Let's get on with the program ladies! Yes, can't deny it. Holidays are here. Let's beautify ourselves before we get all stressed out with parties and giftwrapping duties.

Havaianas 2011 Collection

As part of the Havaianaticos, I was invited to attend the pre-selling event of Havaianas highlighting the 2011 Collection set to come out this December. We got first dibs on some cool designs!

The event was held in Whitespace along Pasong Tamo. Although there were lots of people, the shopping experience was fun and easy. I brought my friend with me and I'm proud to say she bought more than I did!

Other Havaiaticos waiting in line... no hassle coz we were provided chairs. See the stuff in their baskets??? Panic-buying!

Young and old are addicted to the fitflops...

Here's our loot. Got two pairs... guess which ones are mine?! 

They provided refreshments and light snack for the weary shoppers...

And here's one satisfied shopper!

Richwell Trading Xmas Sale

I always look forward to this sale every Christmas season. Sooo many good finds! Email notification arrived late this year... I thought there was none anymore. Just got to find time to visit the sale!

Arrival of Barbara

I promised to myself that this will be my last shoe purchase for the year... O dear God! Hope I can keep my promise.

Is your man a DOVE man?!

Been using Dove since I was a kid because of my uber dry skin. It was what our derma recommended. Eventually, my then-boyfriend-now-husband also learned how to use Dove. He uses MY Dove...

Now this is good news! Dove now has something for the men.

With the introduction of their body wash, they are giving away trips to Boracay! Nice chance for another honeymoon!

Here's how to join...

So, if your man a Dove man?
