HAULS: MELISSA, FOREVER21

Haul time again. :D

The dog ate one of my flip flop pairs. Literally. So I bought a new one.

I got tired of the plain ol' flip flop style. So I got this pair of flash havs with jelly straps so it doesn't look too casual when worn. :)

Ze basic black tank :)

A soft pair of shorts with gold thread detail sewn in between the fabric. Lovely! :D

I'm dying to have a new pair of flats so I can alternate it with my Tory Burch. My TB flats are getting too worn out, and I can't buy a new one yet.

Bambi+Melissa. I love it! :D

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! :D

THE LOOK BOOK: POP OF PINK

Here's what I wore to Varekai and Varekai's exclusive in- house party at The Manila Hotel. A lot of local showbiz actors and actresses saw the opening of one of the best circus acts in the world. Tessa Prieto- Valdez also wowed everyone in her Varekai- inspired get- up. I wasn't able to take a pic with her 'cos she left early.

Anyway, literally, the bag just gave that much needed pop of color on my entire outfit. It's an interesting way to break the dullness of black with fuschia.

BLAZER: Cash and Carry's 'The Good Find'
DRESS: mymixboutique.multiply.com
SHOES: Charles and Keith
BAG: Furla

Sorry for the noisy pics. It was so dull in the party venue!




The dress has a very nice fit. The pattern made by the black piping on the dress gave me a slimmer look. :)

HAULS: CIRQUE DU SOLEIL

Varekai was A W E S O M E. Period.

Usually, souvenir shirts are made of thick, rough, and heavy cotton material.

Surprisingly, the souvenir shirts of Cirque Du Soleil are made of lightweight, sheer, and form flattering cotton.

But it does not come at a cheap cost.

This shirt is the cheapest, which is at 1755php. The beautifully handpainted shirts are at 4k and up. Ridiculously expensive!!!

I love the material of the shirt, and of course, the show so much, that's why I felt the need to purchase a souvenir. Cirque Du Soleil is one of my most expensive expenses to date, so I need a memoir!

If you have money to spare and burn, please watch Cirque Du Soleil. No wonder, it's one of the most spectacular shows in the planet. :)

HAULS: THE GAP, FULLY BOOKED

I'm starting to develop this love for Gap. Their casual pieces like tees, tank tops, and leggings feel so soft and comfortable. Though the price is kinda' steep, I'm pretty sure I'm getting what I paid for 'cos it's Ze Gap (I hope)!

A few hauls from The Gap. :)


A cheerful tank top that will look great when worn with my new bag. I hate it when I have a new bag. I keep on buying clothes to match it!

Opaque tights from Gap that feels so light. It doesn't cause itching, and doesn't cling awkwardly on my legs.

And finally, I got meself Lady Gaga's latest album release. Oh, she's my queen. :)

FASHION VERDICT: FURLA CANDY S BAULETTO

Here's my take on FURLA'S CANDY S BAULETTO.

Summer 2011 marked the huge comeback of the Jelly fashion. Furla's candy bags and footwear brought the fun and style back in Jellies with their lust- worthy bags and whimsical footwear.

Photo Credits: roseinthewind.com

Ottonella Mocellin served as the bag's image model. Furla's candy baulettos became such a hit that it went OOS everywhere in the world right after a certain online shopping site/boutique replenishes their stocks (I should know, I've been hunting this bag down in different international shopping sites for a time!).

The no- nonsense bag is made of high quality PVC material. Furla eliminated excess designs, introduced it in eye popping colors, and gave free automatic locks to every bauletto purchase. Its utter simplicity made me fall for this bag real hard. It stands out on its own sans the scarves and flashy key chains.

One of the most sale- able colors is Dragon Fruit Pink. Thank goodness, Jameela Velasco made my dream come true. She decided to give her car a new look and sold this bag to me. She's heaven sent! I could never thank you enough. :D

Dragon Fruit is a hot fuschia color. It's quite see through, but not as much as the clear and yellow version of this bauletto.

Plastic has expanding properties. So if you prefer a spacious luggage, Furla's candy bag might be perfect for you.This is how the interior looks like if it's loaded with stuff. Take note that I bring big pouches and wallets with me everyday. And everything went inside the bag easily, without having to worry where to place each item. I used my Lumix LX3 to take a pic of the bag. And the LX3 fits perfectly right in it, plus more space to spare. To give you a concrete idea of how big this bag is, it's almost as big as LV's Speedy 30, but at a more affordable cost.

Stitches are excellent, and on its own, the bag looks and feels sturdy. However, the plastic PVC might be heavy to those who prefer bringing lightweight bags. You can still own this, but make sure that you bring less and lightweight stuff because the material is quite thick, which can add to its overall weight.

Let me present you a summary of the PROS and CONS of this bag:

PROS
- Spacious
- Stylish
- Unique
- Gives you the bang for your buck
- Easy to clean
- Rain- proof
- Safety feature (has an automatic lock)

CONS
- Price (if you get it from another country, it's cheaper as compared to our prices here)
- Weight (can be a bit heavy if you put too much stuff in it)
- Can warp or melt if placed on hot surfaces or near fire (well, knowing that it's plastic, I suppose we all know that it reacts negatively to anything that conducts heat!)
**Nothing follows

Here's a friend of mine, Erick, posing and having fun in front of the camera with my Furla Candy Bag. It looks gorgeous in the pics (and you too my dear mela :D)!

STYLE ALERT: PYLONES RAIN PARADE UMBRELLAS

You'll be singin' in the rain in no time with these hot umbrella styles from French brand, Pylones.

These whimsical and charming umbrellas are wide enough to cover you from the rain, yet small enough to fit in your bag. The brain behind these brilliant reinterpretation of the good ol' umbrella is Laurent Mouveau.

With Rain Parade, you'll always be looking forward to the next rainy season!

I wish I could collect them all!

Ditch your cane umbrellas, and forget about designer ones because they are so long ago. These babies retail at $32 each, and can be bought directly from the Pylones USA website. Better order fast, or have your loved ones abroad get 'em for you 'cos they're the hottest rain staple right now! And they're selling fast like pancakes!
