Holiday Glam

With only 18 days to go before Christmas, I'm sure most of you have been pondering what to wear on the parties ahead for the Holiday season. Even if we celebrate here discreetly, there's no excuse not to look your best. Here's an ensemble that's easy to create; do away with the usual greens and reds and think glam Christmas with bright emerald greens and fuschia, golds studs and embellishment. Dress up kahit iilan lang ang nakakakita, iwasan lang magmukhang Christmas tree.

Here's a pic with the jacket on (that's Betchay posing on the side).

An LBD will never go wrong. Pair with opaque tights to warm up this winter.

Whenever and wherever you choose to spend your Holidays this year, let us not forget the Reason for the season!

SALE Alerts and more

It's the end of the month, sahod na naman and I'm sure hindi lang coincidence na nagsusulputan ang mga red signs all over.

Well people, this is just to let you all know that MNG has put on the '50% off' signs on their windows since last weekend, as tipped by Sundrenched and Eyecandy who 'saw the signs' in Al-Rashid Mall, Al-Khobar. We have this common knowledge that when Mango starts their sale, everyone else follows. So what's to expect after this? More stores in red of course, until August! Warm-up pa lang 'to.

Oh btw, Debenhams is 50% off too. Just a tip here, Riyadh Gallery just recently opened a huge Debenhams outlet. You may want to check out that first. LOL.

And the best news is for the guys out there. A huge H&M store will open in Granada Mall on August 8 and will be stocking their men's line. Sa wakas, hindi lang kami ang maswerte.

Well, the cycle continues...

Happy weekend everyone!

MNG vs. Citymax (Butterfly Tank Top)

In my latest foray to Citymax, I saw a tank top that has a very familiar butterfly design. I spent a few minutes walking, occupied by the "where did I see that again?!" thought in my head, when it hit me: I have something like it in my closet but it didn't come from Citymax! It's a tank top I purchased from MNG last year.

Citymax butterfly tank top, SR20

There's still differences on the designs and its colors and on the fabric used.

The MNG design detail

The Citymax version seems awkwardly sewn too. It doesn't seem to have a good fit but since it's saving time, the latter will probably do for the upcoming hot, hot months.

It's been raining lately, yes? I bet we all enjoyed the drizzle. How did you spend the rainy weekend people? I spent mine sleeping! Sarap matulog! ;P
