Happy New Year

This gal was ordered to go on bed rest again. Yes, during the holidays... ack! But doing better and now we're all busy with my cousin's wedding who is also marrying my friend tomorrow! One reason I haven't been blogging lately too.

Bella's Wedding Gown by Carolina Herrera

Carolina Herrera to sell 'Twilight' wedding dress

11/22/2011 | 08:14 AM 

LOS ANGELES - "Twilight" fans can have their very own fairytale wedding experience next year when Carolina Herrera's CHNY boutiques begin selling gowns in the same design as worn by Bella Swan in "Breaking Dawn - Part 1," the apparel maker's spokesman said on Monday.

The white sheath wedding dress with a lace-embellished back was custom-made for actress Kristen Stewart by New York fashion designer Herrera, who said she was was "flattered" when asked to create the gown and felt the pressured to deliver something that would please "Twilight" fans.

"I wanted to create a magical moment that they had at the wedding," Herrera told Reuters at the movie's red carpet premiere last week.

"She's an innocent girl that is finding her first true love, so there is romance, there is magic, there is everything together," Herrera said.

Ahead of the film's debut, the details of Bella's dress seemed as closely guarded as Alexander McQueen's gown for this year's British royal wedding. But fans of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" were finally able to see it for themselves when the film stormed worldwide box offices over the weekend, taking in $238.5 million.

No further details have been released from Carolina Herrera regarding how many dresses will be produced or their retail price, but for "Twilight" fans eager to wear the dress down the aisle before next year, bridal dress company Alfred Angelo are already selling replicas from $799 in select stores worldwide. - Reuters

Fifi 100mm

I saw this on Kris Aquino yesterday. She said ViceGanda and Liz Uy gave it to her. She said it was an early Christmas gift. Yes, been watching KrisTV almost everyday since I had to go on bed rest. 

It's sold on Christian Louboutin's site for $3,395... woah??!! Color is called Aurora Boreale and the glitter is from the crystals covering the whole shoe.

Sigh! Adorably expensive!

This week on AVA: Satchel Invasion

The satchel, a classic functional bag that the British traditionally used for carrying books, takes the fashion world by storm today!

HeyWhereYou PISO Sale!

More from Sephora! Violent Lips Temporary Tattoos

Just in time for Halloween for those who love to dress up in sexy costumes!

Glitter tattoo on your lips and out of your mouth. It has a smooth and glossy finish and vitamin-enhanced appliqués last from four to eight hours. Enough to last a night of partying and dancing.

Application is easy, sort of like how temporary tattoos for kids are applied. Easy to take out too, just wipe off with mineral or baby oil and a textured wipe. There's other colors too.

Although I wonder how you can eat with this on your lips...

Nails Inc. Magnetic Nail Polish

I saw this in Sephora's website and it got me curious... magnetic nail polish??? The nail polish itself is infused with particles that move to create a nail art effect using the magnet on the cap! I think it's awesome!

How does it work?

-Remove any oil from your nails by cleaning your nails with nail polish remover. 

-Take off the over-cap that contains the magnet and set aside. 

-There is an inner cap that you can use to apply the magnetic polish. 

-Apply one coat of your selected Nails Inc. base coat. 

-Then, apply one coat of your chosen magnetic polish on all 10 nails and let dry for a few minutes. 

-To create the "magnetic effect," apply a generous coat of magnetic polish to one nail, and immediately hold the cap that contains the magnet over the nail. (Do this quickly while the polish is still wet. There is a small lip on the cap which should be placed just below your cuticle allowing the magnet to be positioned perfectly over your nail.) Hold very close to the nail for 10-15 seconds, taking care not to touch the nail with the magnet. 

-Repeat on all 10 nails and apply a top coat to seal the design.

If you still can't picture how it works, here's an instructional video



I'm so into these kinds of innovations! Gosh, I wanna try this... it's just $16. Not bad!

No Other Woman

Can I just say... this movie is so cheezy it works! The lines are so quotable... all my beki friends have memorized the lines and they haven't seen the movie yet?! 

I watched the movie with my cousin-in-laws yesterday and we had so much fun! They both were dabbing their eyes before the movie ended. 

So, what are the most lovable lines?! Here's some I copied from other blog sites:

1. "Mababaliw siguro ako kapag nalaman kong may babae siya. Baka mapatay ko iyong kabit. Silang dalawa, actually" - said by Christine Reyes

2. "Alam mo kasi ang marriage parang exclusive village. Kailangan bantayan para hindi makapasok ang squatters" - said by Christine Reyes

3. "You can call me anything you want: a snake, a bitch, an other woman. But I will never be a pathetic, boring housewife" - said by Anne Curtis

4. "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Pero sa ganda mong iyan, siguradong marami kang alam na shortcuts" - said by Christine Reyes

5. "Tsaka ano bang mahirap kalaban? Yung putang mahirap o yung putang mayaman?"

"Pare-parehong puta lang yun! Ang mayaman bumibili ng Hermes sa mall, ang mahirap bumibili ng Hermes sa Greenhills!" - conversation between Christine Reyes and Carmi Martin

Un-kaboggable right?! Have fun and watch this one!

Birthday Wishlist... For Realz

A friend asked for my wishlist. Well, I'd love to have more shoes... or even clothes... I'm trying to be practical while pregnant. So, here's my more realistic wishlist...

A laptop pillow/table like this one... coz when I'm at home I use the laptop when I'm in bed. Lazy bitch that I am...

And then there's Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. I love, love this one! I used it everyday when I was pregnant with my first child. I started on my third month and never had stretch marks! 

I also want ColorStay Aqua™Mineral Make Up. I think I'm medium. I use 008 Golden Beige shade of PhotoReady™ Make Up. Maybe medium is the closest shade.

My favorite lipbalm... one year supply?

I'd love to have a new set of make up brushes too. I guess that's all for now... hope this helps hubby too!
