Almost - Charles & Keith

 


We were on our way to Kinokuniya when we passed by Charles and Keith. I thought maybe I’d look around to see if their stock is any  different than Greenbelt’s. 

And yes, very different. They had a lot of items that aren’t available in my local branch. 



I have noticed that day that a lot of women were wearing this particular style of shoes. Not exactly this but something that resembles this. Found two women wearing them at Muji alone. 


Look at the adorable strawberry heel! 
But experience taught me not to trust C&K straps. 
Did you read my post about my pretty pink shoes? 


There’s a white version of this too, that I really liked. 




Lately, I’ve been consciously looking for heeled shoes. It seems my lower back can’t handle flats anymore because of my scoliosis. 

It sounds weird, I know, but that’s how I feel. 


Such a nice structured bag!


I love these bags, too, but they’re too big for me. 

My shoulders and scapula can’t handle it anymore. 


I like the brown bag. Well actually, I like all of them.
I can just imagine an elegant high-powered corporate woman using any one of these bags. She goes to the office at 9 am in her sleek professional outfit, carrying the shade that matches her outfit. 
And the office looks. 

Ugh.. so beautiful! 

For me, it’s not the brand that makes a woman look posh and elegant. 
It’s in the way she carries herself, the way she curates her outfit, herself, and her confidence. 


So cute, but no zippers.


I like the hardware, the exaggerated handle, and the finish on this bag.

These are my Almosts. 
Did I buy anything? 
Not from this branch. 😏

Let’s shop at Kinokuniya next.

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
