I know most of y'all saw this by now, but I just had to repost, as this is downright sad and ridiculous. Kanye always thinks he can get away with murder, but this is just... wrong. I'm not huge on Taylor Swift but absolutely no deserves to be assaulted and humiliated like that in front of the world. Ugh.. the horror. Poor Taylor.
Thanks for all hanging on in there! I did promise a DIY for you all loves, so I'm just quickly doing this before heading to the sack. I really am quite pooped but this was pretty exciting. Hope you enjoy it as well as i did xxoo
I absolutely fell in love with Maison Michel and their fanciful pieces the moment i stumbled upon their fall catalogue. Shot by none other than Karl Lagerfeld himself, the milliner's pieces were just lighthearted and well... for the most part, cute. I'm pretty sure almost all of us saw MK&A rocking out the bunny and mouse headbands during the Opening Ceremony event in Japan. So what did you think about that? Yay or nay?
While most of us would definitely think this trend over (esp me, lol), I noted that this would be a fun and VERY easy DIY to try.
What you'll need:
tie wire, black headband, tulle, needle and thread, black garter (or lace, or any cloth strip you prefer)
Instructions:
Finished product:
I had a lot of fun doing it.:) So if you want to dip your feet in some animal ear magic without footing $400, then go for it. Have fun!
BTW, again.. biggest love going to my 90+followers.
Sorry for only having a single post this week-- been quite busy, but for different reasons entirely. I think I'm on a roll with DIYing- i enjoy it tremendously and if i could just spend ALL my time cooking up brilliance, I definitely would. I'm also using every single spare time available to practice on my sewing. Yep, I've finally taken my old machine out and starting back from scratch. I used to sew like 4 years ago and even then I had the sewing competencies of a toddler:). I think it could be quickly picked up on, but I can't really tell yet as I'm still just testing the waters. That, plus my continuing Deutsch lessons-- i know, i know! so many things all at one time, plus added pressures! Then again, I always believed in doing things one at a time, so I'm just carefully balancing my time with everything. No worries, I wouldn't be pausing my blogging any day now. But do bear with me.
Matter of fact, I'll be posting a real fun (ok, not.. this was kinda hard to do. but you'll like it if you have the patience) DIY tonight. Have yet to upload the pics anyway. till then loves. xxoo

A few weeks back, top global footwear brand Havaianas successfully took flip-flop fashion to the next level as they invited some of Cebu's Havaianaticos (the apt name for those who have embraced the Havaianas lifestyle) to get first dibs of this year's Make Your Own Havaianas 2009-Media and VIP Night.
The MYOH is a yearly affair that has successfully transcended to become AS popular and as sought-after as the flip-flops themselves. This is the only time of the year where Havaianaticos can fully customize their pair of Havaianas, from the strap and sole choice, right down to the embellishments of swarovski studs and the nifty little pins. In short, tons of fun with the choosing!

Big kudos to the local Havaianas family for adapting Filipino pride as the overall theme for this year. I'm super adorin' the transformation of some national icons (vinta, tarsier, sorbetes cart, etc) into cute little strap pins.
Congratulations are definitely in order for 2009's MYOH.. till next year!
(And of course, thank you to the lovely ladies behind the occasion: Big Seed Media tandem Jaja Chiongbian-Rama and April Rama, and A.L. Amizade's Leanne Florendo and Aimil Sarmiento, for never forgetting us bloggers during Havaianas events.)

my complimentary pair... the Tarsier pin is beyond adorable
Who knew that there would actually be some spare time to do this? Thank my lucky stars for this incredible day job(go on-air, do nothing. go on-air, do nothing. repeat 50x)!
So today I decided to finally get a move on with this simple DIY project that involved some nuking and a little bit of [hand]sewing (since i couldn't lug the machine to the office:P). Just basically took a dated long vest that cost next to nothing, a thick sequin trim (costs around Php 30++ at your nearest fabrics depot), sew together and cut up the excess length from the vest... and voila, the result is an über cost-friendly and current piece.:)
I'm sure we've all noted that sequins, paillettes and the like are big for this season, so this is great by adding that subtle pop of shinin' shimmerin' splendid without attracting too much attention.
I know I'm still far from being in the league of ingenious DIYers, but I'm happy with myself for making a bit of headway. Now, we'll just have to see how I'm going to style this..
