So it’s the time of the month to update this blog again. Hah. I’m down to 102 lbs due to stress overload and my only way to forget all issues is retail theraphy. As I overheard someone that there’s this shoes clearance sale at our ever beloved Megamall, I dragged my ass off to Megatrade together with these people, panic buying for discounted shoes.

Unfortunately, I guess I’m a couple of days late for the decent items. FYI, it’s until tomorrow guys.

Not all women are born prim and finesse so we can’t deny that there are boyish girls out there. Alpha-female, tomboy, whatever the right term is – either they find dainty things too gay or they feel that an assertive character is more endearing. I came up with this post because a few of my email senders confessed that they’re not the girly-type. But even though there are some who don’t prefer the pink and flowery fashion, there are these sporty styles that will make a boyish gal look fab – jumpsuits, dark colored nail polish, and laid-back straight hairstyle inspired by high-end brands for 2010 fashion trend.

Bold accessories are in. This is even proved by trendy wide necklaces and thick belts. Below is a Prada couture but cheaper alternative of accessories can be an inspiration for everyday wear.

Just another set of Celebrity looks for less. I just realized, SM Deparment Store is truly a friend.

It’s not that I support the idea of “copying” but my point is, brand name isn’t important as long as you have the keen eye when shopping, and of course be practical. You might even find cheaper items than what were mentioned above.
