Pink and Blues

Just warming up my fashion juice. I got the blue shorts from Promod in large size, 9 days after I gave birth. Then after 2 days - my stomach got even smaller that I should have gotten the smallest size x.x The shorts fall off my hips and legs and I have to pin it up.

I realize it is difficult to be as stylish when traveling with child, wouldn't want to trip or expose anything while pushing or carrying the baby. Trusty Crocs look cute and comfy in pink too :)

And look who we bumped into, it's Uncle Sam - Sam Milby at the Samsung Hope Launch.



Nice and cute, hi! Sam :)

Tried and Tested: Elianto Eyebrow Oval Pencil

Finally! My husband got this for me while shopping today. I just can't live without an eyebrow pencil, notice how it can make any face look more groomed? Full eyebrows care of eyebrow pencils or powders also make you look younger and fresher. Given that you apply them properly :)



I decided to grab this Elianto Eyebrow Pencil (Oval) because my friend and I tried it two days ago in the department store. I like how light it is and how its brush (available at the other end of the pencil) creates a soft, even more natural look.

My shade of choice is light brown. Compared to the other pencils of Elianto, I think the Oval type is softer in color and texture. Plus, who has time to sharpen their eyebrow pencils these days? I don't! So retractable it is.

Will post pics soon of my eyebrows with and without this product ^^

Ash and Lace

Yesterday was baby ashton and mine's day out. And I pledged to myself that even with child, I would strive to look good and neat. Here I am wearing a dress from H.A.B (Havin' A Baby) that I paired with my signature wrestler belt :)


9 Days after giving birth to Ashton

My makeup kit is still missing and would you believe I haven't replenished it? I am just living with my mineral powder. I just thank my hormones which are now taming down meaning my skin is getting better.

Now I wonder when and how can I walk in heels again ^^ Until the next outfit!

Havin' a Baby - No Fuss Fashion for Preggy Ladies

When I got pregnant, I really wished I had lots of maternity clothes but people advised me that I will only use them for a short time. However, at 7-9 months - it was getting hard to fit into normal clothes. Even loose clothes that are available on the rack. I thought, pregnant women deserve to have special clothes made for them. Something they can wear with lots of comfort and style, that would show to the world how proud they are of their growing bellies :)


Ruffled sleeveless top puts flair on your baby bump


This polka-dot printed piece reminds me of Desperate Housewives fashion :)


And a cute denim dress that snugs on the right places

Just before I gave birth, I visited Havin' A Baby store at the wonderful Greenbelt 5 with some friends. It was just the best maternity store ever, with not just clothes but also maternity accessories like the belly belt, support belt, sexy maternity lingerie, and even diaper bags.



They also have swimwear for preggers. Everything a pregnant lady would like is here, fashion wise. I tried lots of pieces but opted to get 3 dresses. Each piece at Havin' A Baby are designed in their own production factory and can be worn before, during, and after pregnancy.


Sexy chic maternity swimwear



And more stuff for you and your baby

Now you won't feel guilty shopping for maternity clothes because you can wear them pregnant or not. I like the diversity of the pieces, from casual to business to party wear.



Each piece would cost around Php 1,200 and it is not a bad price considering how it fits so well and make any mommy look instantly primped. I enjoyed shopping here too because of the friendly staff that took the time to get a dress my size from Greenbelt 5 to Glorietta! Talk about customer service. And they know how it is difficult for preggers to walk to and from racks that they would just tale care of everything. No wonder celebs like Judy Ann Santos who is also expecting have been spotted here, exiting the store with lots of pieces.

Must Try: Avon Smooth Minerals

If you are not into mineral makeup yet then you are missing a lot! I have big big love for mineral makeup because they blend smoothly on my skin and do not aggravate acne. Someone told me that Avon now has mineral makeup which was just released late last year. These would be available starting on June 16 through your Avon lady.

Here's their press release:




The coverage of liquid foundation…now in a pressed powder.

The Avon Smooth Minerals Pressed Powder glides on smooth for buildable coverage and easy touch-ups. Avon’s fine-milled formula with our 100% naturally derived mineral complex is enriched with vitamins and essential nutrients. After just one week, complexion looks healthier, more radiant and feels better, even without your makeup on.

What do you think? I want to try it out because I am currently using another brand. It's interesting how Avon's mineral makeup comes in the form of pressed powder unlike the usual mineral make up that come in jars.

It is also more affordable at Php 395. Will follow up on this if I get my hands on them :)

P.S. I am so excited to do reviews again!

Style Star: Maja Salvador at the miadidas Launch

Inside the adidas store in Greenbelt 3, we met actress Maja Salvador during the miadidas launch. She was there tinkering with a computer, designing her own pair of adidas rubbershoes. That's what miadidas is all about, customization. And like other celebs such as Karylle and basketball players, you too can make your pair of adidas uniquely yours.



Of course, I just had to ask Maja some questions about beauty, fashion, and her new short hair :)

You can now catch her in a new TV series called Impostor. I like Maja, she's friendly and always smiling. It's just a breeze talking to her.



More on the shoes - The unique customization process of miadidas allows you to create a shoe according to your preferences. Choose from array of models to tinker with, including the Predator PS, Barricade 5, Pro model Team Color, adiEro ACE, Microbounce, TS Bounce Commander, BTB LT, and the TS Lightning Creator.

Meeting V Factory's Jared and Nick

So the Then and Now Massive Music Festival 2010 is happening tomorrow at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, and last night was one of those lucky days for me because I got to meet Jared and Nick of V Factory! :)


Jared Murillo and Nick Teti from V Factory

Both guys are techie, handling their own social networks like Twitter and Facebook. And thank God they know what bloggers are.


Myrus Ramirez (left) was also there, an upcoming pop R&B singer. He will be the front act for tomorrow's music fest.

Jojo was suppose to meet us too but after spotting her dining at Sofitel's Spiral, we learned that she was super exhausted and opted to rest for the concert tomorrow.



The two guys were extremely nice and handsome that I couldn't do anything but just record what transpired during a short Q&A session with them. (Looks like my husband stole my video credit and put his name on it! oh well x.x)


Thanks to Renzie of Divan Media Group - the organizers of the Then and Now Concert

Grab your tickets via Ticketnet, they are fast selling now as International artists have started flowing in the country since last night. Today Diana King is arriving! For more details, log on to www.thenandnowconcert.com
