Happy New Year 2011

From our make-shift photobooth to yours, happy new year!

Our party was a success with everyone wearing red. Indeed fashion makes the world a happier place! I am wearing the Kashieca red dress I got for just Php350 ++ during their sale.

Meanwhile, my New Year's Eve date is wearing a red & geeky Optimus Prime shirt from Transformers. He's got lots of these funny cute shirts, including fish t shirts and Pets T Shirt. His hat is from a street vendor, I got it for Php20 for my 7 month old.

Me and my sister have matching outfits, actually we bought the same dress. It made me look pregnant though haha :) My headband is a pink hello kitty crown from Marcella's, at Php 85++.

Now I know the makings of a fun yet practical New Year's Eve home party: Lechon, costumes, hats, photobooth, and lots of party poppers!

Happy New Year and I hope you had a great one :)

What's IN: Christmas Funny Hats!

Merry Christmas to my wonderful readers! I hope everyone is having a blast this Christmas day with matching red lipstick ;)



This Christmas, I made it simple and fun with Christmas funny hats and headbands which I distributed to everyone. Instant cuteness and holiday cheer!

At the Royal Ascot annual horse races in England, a woman wears a hat shaped like a platter of blue cheese and grapes. Think this hat is insane? Scroll down the gallery for other weird ones..

Flowers, Braids, and Hats

This was my outfit last Saturday when I toured my sister Joni to the Salcedo weekend market and also shopped at two different malls. First time wearing a hat after many years. This hat is super vintage - my sister and I got it when I was in gradeschool and she was in highschool. This was the trend before, including sunflower pins, do you remember? :)

My hair is a side braid, looks messy here but it was rather cute during the first few hours x.x

Billie Jean - Michael Jackson Inspired Style

Dared to be inspired by Michael Jackson and tried wearing white socks with black leather shoes. Could not find my old mary janes though. Hail to the King of Pop!

:WhoNose: knows

Rarurick Ragu, owner and designer of :WhoNose:, just keeps getting better. She now has two shops, one in the Baby Monkey Mall and another at LVS Drive.  You can find these outfits at either shop.  Her designs are beautifully sculpted and rich in detail.  Many come with shoes or jewelry and the most expensive dress in her shop is only 80L.  There are so many great deals here I couldn't cover them all.  Besides being very generous, she is definitely a designer to follow.  

The Shine Dress in Silver is only 5L.  The texture and design are fabulous. The jewelry is the Memories Set at Deco (one of my total favs) at the Vagabonds location.  The earrings are only 1 L thru Friday (SLT) and the necklace is half price.  Check out the Maraschino set right next to it for the same pricing.  

The dress above is on of many dresses available in her Lucky Board.  She spares no expense in quality on the items you can get on the board.  The cute Robokun bracelet and ring are a group gift at *mocorin*. Check out the other cute cheapies on the wall.  This is an adorable shop.  The Zelda hat is one of many you can find for only 10L at Split Pea.  Melatonin Hax is celebrating the first anniversary of her store.  All hats with even a tiny bit of green are only 10L.  All sunglasses are also priced at 10L.  Look at the shop sign for a 1L princess hat.

The Lavender Summer dress is only 5L The candy flats are from Scribble (not free but darn cute). Again I am wearing the Memories set from Deco.  

The Jewel Doll dress is an example of a full price dress at :WhoNose:.  It comes with cute matching flats and shoulder jewels.  It is available in a nice array of candy colors.  I am in love with bags lately and the Robo & Moco bag from *mocorin* is at the top of the cute list.  The designer and owner, akinko Twine, is so nice and flipped the board to a wildcard so that I could get it.  She also showed me that you can camp for the cute shoes at the front of her shop by sitting on an egg.  I will definitely have to go back and do that.  The sunglasses are from Split Pea, one of many for 10L.  (I bought them all...cough)

The skin in all the posts is from Tuli and is the new Profile Picks gift.  You don't have to be a Tuli group member to get this skin.  The easel to the right of the tree explains how to get it.

1870 Victorian Dress - Self Portraits

Lace Llanora, 1850-2009


Preparations prior portrait photographs - different hats for different times and occasions of the day.



Victorians change clothes at least 4 times a day, for breakfast, tea, dinner, etc. Don't you wish you lived during the 1800's?

Max Alexander Hat

I always wanted to own a hat but never bought one, until yesterday I saw this hat by Max Alexander in David Jones. It was love at first sight. I put it down once, twice, and thrice - I just had to own it forever.


Max Alexander Hat

This, one can wear even in Manila as a fashion hat. In Melbourne, it's easy to get hats, berets, and other head/hair accessories. They are readily available in malls like David Jones or Myer.

There's always a first time for everything, even for a lovely hat! :)
