Fare thee well...

This is quite sad for me since I grew up with NU. Even became friendly with some of their deejays when I worked as a radio promo exec for one of the record labels. I remember the glam rock era... Scorpions, Better than Ezra and most of all, Guns n Roses. Also attended a couple of Rock Awards... crazy times!

Sigh...

And now it ends. It was good while it lasted.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween folks! 
Have a nice spooky one!

Cheap Thrills #2: JUANA

For an office gal like me, shopping for clothes without breaking the bank is such a struggle. Last year while preparing for my son's 1st birthday, I came across stores in Divisoria that are quite fashionable and yet budget friendly.

JUANA is a working girl's haven. Seriously! For P350-P400 you can get really good dresses already. And for P250 you can get fashionable blouses that are fit for work and play. During their big sales, they even cut down the prices to P200 for clothes and P150 for blouses. A few weeks ago I got to grab a handful of clothes for only P1600... not bad!

Here's some of the few - and I mean few! - items I bought...

The way to make these dresses stand out is to accessorize! The right bag and shoes make me look like I spend thousands of pesos! Really value for money.


JUANA stores are located in pasilio 2i-01, 2c-02, 2a-41, 2a-44 and 2g-01, all in 168 Mall, Divisoria Mall, Greenhills Shopping Center and SM Valenzuela. You can also follow them on Facebook for sales and new items.

MUÑIZ SHOES

Shoe addict in me is on the prowl again for my next pair. Guess what I found...

Muñiz Shoes is Carmina Villaroel's baby. Yep, Carmina Villaroel as in the actress, tv host, commercial model and mother of twins. Awesome right?! The debut collection can rival those imported brands. Designs are chic yet comfy. See for yourself... here are some of my faves...

Gianelli

Carmen

Beatrice

Bettina

Barbara

Maura

The shoes are named after family and friends close to Carmina's heart. Even the name Muñiz is actually her middle name. The brand prides itself in being 100% locally made. Currently, it's only being sold online. 

So, here I am again doing  online shopping. In love with a pair already.

Heavy Duty Topshop

Okay, so how come we don't have the Topshop make up line here in the Philippines?!!! Mommy is off to the US this November and I'm trying to look for stuff to buy. I saw these...

Heavy Duty, the A/W2010 Collection of Topshop...

Nails in Future

Nails in Grunge

Nails in Lead

The collection deviates from the usual warm colors of fall. It's a bit cold and hard... I'm into smokey eyes lately and these colors are great for the look I want.

Chunky Crayon in Burnish

Chunky Crayon in Graphite

Solid Gel Eyeliner in Steely

Solid Gel Eyeliner in Facet

Solid Gel Eyeliner in Etch (I want!)

I'm all for easy application and I love eyeshadows that come in this style...

Loos Kohl Dust in Black (too bad it comes only in one color...)

Now for the lips...

Lipgloss in Vault

Lipgloss in Undertone

Lipgloss in Gloom (I want this one too!)

All items are below $20 only. Not bad. I'm hoping to get my hands on one gloss and nail polish at least...  Gosh, my pabili list is getting longer!
