What Kind of Shopper Are You?

Accept it or not women really love shopping! I don’t think I know someone who is not or who don’t enjoy shopping at all. Eventhough we have money, just strolling the mall and scouring the racks of your fave shop and just do window shopping can satisfy our desire to shop. Of course it’s a bit disappointing if you saw something that your like but you have no money or you simply don’t want to spend because you are saving or have a good self control.

I have to admit that there are couple of times when I got home, I said to myself that I should have not bought that stuff in the first place. Sometimes it doesn’t good at all, or I just bought it because of my impulse shopping behaviour. Arrghh.. just last year, i bought 2 wedge sandals and it’s just collecting dust on my shoe rack bec. it doesn’t look anymore when I wear it. I know it’s just a waste of money but to tell you the truth I’m such an idiot when it comes to shoe buying. With that happening most of the times, I rarely buy shoes; I’d prefer blouses and bags more than it. Yeah I know the economy is tight lately and I should not just buy without deep thinking or I’d end up seeking advices at debt consolidation agent.

When it comes to buying clothes, I tend to buy simple clothes with the same style and colors that there are times. Oh well that’s me anyway. I also took this Shopping Quiz and it’s says I’m a Whimsical Princess. Check out what kind of shopper are you too.

My Coach Bags Wishlist

Before I even get depressed and look for some depression treatments for not having a Coach bag, I'm sharing here my ever growing Coach bag wish list. Actually I bought last month a large black Coach leather Zoe from Faye but it was too big for my physique that I end up selling it at my friend's local e-bay. It got sold only few days when she posted it, thank goodness!

Now, with no Coach bag in my hand, I'm again scouring the net for possible purchase in the future, that is if I can save enough once again. Not sure if I will buy another Coach Zoe again but for sure it's gonna be a leather Coach once again. The Coach signature style doesn't appeal to me that much bec. wanted to invest in quality leather bags that will last for years in my possession. 

Here's my list: I'll definitely will not buy all of them bec. I can't afford it in the 1st place bec. some costs as much as $600 or more. One or maybe 2 can already appease my Coach bag cravings. Sigh....when will that happen????..lol 

What about you what Coach bag/s do you own and still want to buy? Care to share?

1. Coach Lindsay-

 
2. Coach Madison Audrey

3. Coach Soho Pebbled Satchel

4. Coach Peyton

5. Coach Leigh

6. Coach Ali

7. Coach Carly
8. Coach Felicia Slim Duffle

9. Coach Leather Pleated East West Gallery Tote

10. Coach Tribeca Shoulder Bag

168 Shopping Mall in Divisoria

Just one of my favorite malls in the heart of Manila, 168 shopping mall in Divisoria. It may not be posh mall to say but this is where you'll find tons of items from blouse, shirts, pants, bags and more at low low prices. It's also good if you are buying by bulk or wholesale because you'll get it at much lower price. I'm sure every shoppers knows Divisoria, the 168 mall and other malls nearby.

You are missing 1/3 of your life if you have not gone shopping in Divisoria, just be sure to cautious of your bags and belongings because you know lots of pickpockets are roaming around the area. Other thing is that PLS. don't bring small kids while if you can , most especially those with ailments or eczema, for Divisoria can be TOO crowded during peak shopping hours and before the holidays.

Other than that 168 mall and other malls or small shops in Tabora, Yllaya etc. is a great place to find stuff at reasonable price. I scored some great stuff when I was there in November last year. 

Have you been to Divisoria lately?  Happy shopping and don't forget to haggle!

Copy (Gossip Girl) Blake Lively Outfit/ Wardrobe

Hot and sexy Blake Lively of Gossip Girl, set the fashion trend along with Leighton Meester. Fashionistas are always on the lookout for the newest trend and style of their fave celebrities. Here you can copy Blake's Movie Style fashion from Shopstyle. Her black dress has something similar from Bebe for $119.

I wonder how she keeps her skin smooth and flawless as well, maybe if I read a skin id review here, I'll find the answer. Enjoy your shopping.

Her Battle with Acne

Do you still remember the infomercial of Jessica Simpson about how she found an adult acne treatment to get rid of her acnes? She looks so convincing and there's no doubt that lots of her fans who has acne would try what she is endorsing.

But rumors spread that the product she once endorsed is not really the one that cured and made her skin clear once again. I guess if you suffer from acne for a long time and already fed up with the way you look chances are you'd seek any treatment that will come your way but of course you need to do it with caution.

Valentine's Day Movie 2010 Updates

For sure this will be a big hit this coming Valentine's Day. From the director of Pretty Woman, The movie Valentine's Day, a comedy love story is loaded with big stars like Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Emma Roberts, Joe Jonas, Topher Grace, Patrick Dempsey, Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez. 
From Warner Brothers and Directed by: Garry Marshall. Release date: February 12, 2010 

Love will be in the air once again this Valentine's day as couples will love, hate, make out and express their love more with their partner.

Anyway, I remember  Jessica Alba, one of the lead star was recently interviewed and talks about her being a mom and her pregrancy to her 18-month old daughter To quote here: "Pregnancy was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had," the actress, 28, says. "So I’ll take the stretch marks. I’ll take the sagging boobs. I’ll take the cellulite I can never get rid of."

I guess she needs to put stretch marks creams if that is not bad for pregnant women as we all know that pregnant women must not take anything without their doctor's approval. 

Kim Kardashian's Perfume

The Euphoria of Shopping

So why do you think we women go and love shopping? Some women shop to satisfy their need to buy the item that they’ve been longing for a long time. Others may find it therapeutic; to kill time and others find it a habit (yay!) that they became restless when they have not shopped.

Whatever reason any women may have it’s always best to shop when we are on our best of health, free from any illness like mesothelioma or other ailments for shopping can be a lot of fun especially if you have the money to spend on everything that you desire. Just a word of warning: please don’t shop and spend more than what you earn. I reckon you don’t want to end up broke, right?

Learning is a Continuing Process

We always hear that education is the most precious gift that we can give ourselves and learning is a continuing process. We should never stop learning and acquiring more knowledge if we can. The simple reading of books and surfing the net for more info or data can also nourish our minds. 

There are some people who can’t finish their education due to many reasons but these days anyone can get bachelors degree online by enrolling themselves thru a online university. Just a click of a mouse and at the comforts of our homes any one can still pursue their dreams of having an education.

Modern/Contemporary Furniture

It's new year once again and it's always a good start to sort and look into our stuff at home and to think if it's the time to replace old stuff or to give them away now. I had given some clothes from my closet last December and I think I'm giving away more soon.

It's also a good timing to incorporate modern furniture into our homes. There are lots of them selling online and we need to choose designs that are contemporary yet classic as well.  If I will have my way in our house, I'm going to chuck all those old furniture that my mom  has been keeping all those years. For me it's an eyesore already and I already want a clean, neat and minimalist look in the house but oh well she's still have the "say" on some things in the house.

Oh my Goodness: Endless SHOPPING!!

My sister is here in the country with her family and the day they arrived here, we have been shopping endlessly as in shopping while we drop. We have not shopped that much in Hongkong last month because there's more to shop here.

Anyway, they have been shopping for clothes, shoes and other stuff that they will bring back home in Australia. One day they left for Makati and my sis and her husband shopped the whole day in Glorietta malls, scouring each branded stores and leaving with shopping bags in their hands. They got some great deals since some of the shops are having after holiday sale. From Mossimo, Esprit and local brand, they love shopping bec. it's much cheaper here.

The other week, we brought our nephew to the mall and he was so fortunate because they bought him 2 pairs of shirts, jeans and a Sketcher shoes. They wanted to buy more for the kids, if only they can also buy textbooks for them they will do it. So generous. They are just sharing their blessings bec. they have not been home for 9 years.

Tomorrow we are scheduled to go to Greenhills, so it's shopping galore once again. I'm sure their luggage will be full of stuff. Love it!

Wireless Security System

These days we can’t just sit on our laurels when it comes to the safety of our family and our properties. For those that can afford to install a more hi-tech security they can opt to add wireless security systems in their homes, stores and more. 

In our case we have already made some efforts in putting more steel gates and fences to secure our homes fro we have been a victim of burglary many times already. Such move has lessened the incidence of burglary already.
