Haul from Last Week of April til Mid May

Most of these items were bought randomly. We didn't plan on buying clothes or shoes at all. :P These items were bought during during the last few weeks from SM San Lazaro and Robinsons Place Manila.

Boyet Fajardo Blouses - Robinsons Place Department Store

 

Dawn - It's not my first time buying from this brand. Being a plus-size makes it very difficult for me to find good clothing and I'm thankful that Boyet Fajardo offers such clothes. :)

Staccato Shoes from CMG (Robinsons)

This is actually our Mom's! :P

B Club Shoes

Dawn - When they have a sale, they offer a really good deal!

from Space (SM San Lazaro)

from Hug (SM San Lazaro)

Dawn - I LOVE EARRINGS!

Whenever we enter a Hug store, there's around 80% chance that we will purchase one of their items. :P

Genevieve Gozum (SM San Lazaro)

One word. Rockstar.

Jewels (SM San Lazaro)

Kisses & Co.

Our closets are happy cuz they have new stuff in them. haha! :P

Cheers,

NOTD: Sparkly Pink Leopard Print Nails

I wanted to practice more on doing nail art. While I was thinking of what design I'd do, I saw my planner and decided to do a Leopard Print!

 My Planner

I used my new Chic Classics Nail Polish in Purple Frost as my base because I just love the color and some Gold and Black for the print.

 And of course I added some glitters because as I have mentioned before, I love almost everything that glitters! :P

I think I'm getting better and better in doing nail art. This is only my third time and I'm actually proud that it looks good even on the right hand. I even joke around telling people I'm ambidextrous! :P

Cheers,

DAWN

The World is Your Runway!

Now for a treat: 

A different kind of blog!

Here's a site you will enjoy looking at everyday: http://missdmeanor.tumblr.com/ by Dens Congco, our makeup artist, manager, business girl and fabulous cousin all rolled into one! She's the face behind the infamous The Makeup Den.

As she candidly describes her new blog:

[disclaimer: this is not a fashion blog as obviously, i am no fashion expert. this is just me trying to document the life of a 20-something marketing practitioner-makeup artist-entrepreneur who gets up everyday, looks at her closet and wonders, "Okay, D! How shall you present yourself to the world today?"]

Document your gorgeous days!

And glam things up with accessories, too!

We hope this little piece of D's pretty world inspires you 

to be happy and beautiful each day!

Cheers,

Dawn and Trace

My First Attempt on DIY Nail Art

I have mentioned in one of my older posts that I purchased some nail art brushes. I've always wanted to have some so I can do the designs myself. I was very excited to try them out myself and I did without any knowledge on how to use them. This is what my first attempt looked like: 

It was a disappointment. I did not have control on the brushes, some of the colors were clogged up, and it looked dirty! :P

Determined to know more about nail art so i can do better next time, I browsed for videos and blogged posts and I think these gave me the information I need:

Thank you so much, Karina and Nikki ! Your posts were a big help! :)

So now I'm sporting this design I made yesterday!

Quite better than the first one I did in my opinion. :P

Cheers,

Dawn
