Soft Saturday Diaries: Part 1 - Mango Edition

 


It’s been a tender Wednesday, and I don't have the energy for a full adventure recap of my Saturday. So today, you’re getting the part of my day that brought me the most joy: my slow wandering inside Mango. I took photos of pieces that caught my eye — for inspiration, for future outfits, for the soft luxe woman I’m becoming.




✨️Today's Look Breakdown ✨️

Eyes: MAC Club and Mineralize Eyeshadows, MAC White Frost Eyeshadow, BYS Eyeliner

Lips: Minimalist Glossy Lipstick 08, Anastasia Tan Rose Lip Gloss

Nails: KKV, no name, but I call it Soft Luxe Champagne Fairy Dust 😊





After our salon appointment, I went to my favorite stores to look around. First stop - Mango.

Almost Shopping at Mango

I say almost because I didn't find anything I really liked or truly need at the moment.



This leather tube dress was the first thing that caught my eye. I think this would be perfect for clubbing. I've never stepped foot in a club, but I imagine this would be perfect with heeled boots, big curls, and red lips. 

Here are some sweaters that are perfect for the season. I regret now that I didn't get one. I forgot that we're going on a trip on the first week of December! 




It seems studs are Mango's theme this season. Aside from the dress, the studs showed up on these jeans, too. 


How adorable are these purses??? I want one in each color! 😁

Lots of bling on this skirt. Too bad I don't have an event to wear this to.

I also liked this button-down, but again, no event to wear this to. I don't think I can pull this off for a casual day. Hmm.. 

This skirt also caught my eye. I almost tried it on, but when I checked closely, the garment was already starting to fray and snag. This won't last a long time. 


For your office Christmas parties. So Audrey Hepburn. 

Here are a few bags that I liked. 

Casual bag

This one has an interesting chain...that will probably dig into your shoulders. That's why I avoid chain straps. 

Office bag

Ugh... I really should've bought a sweater or a cardigan! I'm coming back for one of these! 

It always amazes me how fast Mango comes up with these faux small leather goods. I feel like they always have new wallets, card cases, pouches, etc. every time I go there. 

See, they have a whole tray of new card cases!

I really liked this wristlet, but I have no use for it. Had the wrist strap been detachable,  I would've bought it.

Oh, here's another bag that can house your tablet and papers

I liked this top, but it's very sheer. I could see my hand clearly when I put my hand inside. 

I am currently entertaining Lady Flo (here's what I do when she's here), so that's it for today's post. Stay tuned for part 2 where we go to M&S.

Soft Luxe Staycations: Binondo Series - The Great Buddha, Curated Purchases from Eng Bee Tin, and Last Thoughts About Ramada

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light. 

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

When You Need a Tiny Reset (Glow Cards Are Here)

The shade is actually a dusty mauve or muted orchid. It looks blue on the image, but it's not blue.  There are days when I don’t need a full day off — I just need a moment. A tiny reset. A quiet pause in the swirl of noise. That’s how Glow Cards were born.
