The Holidays Are Coming

Busy week again. Damn! I guess this kind of schedule will roll out to the Christmas season eh?

Just last Monday, while on a leave to renew my driver’s license among other errands, I went shopping for the kids’ halloween costumes just to realize I need to actually make one for the little boy. He wants to be an octopus and I can’t find a ready made outfit online and in the malls so I bought materials from the fabric stores. The little girl will be a witch and that’s a cinch to put together.

Here are our pegs for this year’s Halloween costumes:

Then comes Christmas (is it really just 68 days before we officially say ho-ho-ho?) and I’m just starting to make our long list of inaanaks, family and friends for the gift giving. With the busy schedules, I think we will once again rely greatly on online shopping and bazaars for that one-stop convenient shopping.

One thing I likey about online shopping is that I don’t have to go through horrendous traffic and parking problem. I found to have a lot of nice pieces for moi (hehe), husby, my sister, brothers and friends in one online shop Zalora.

On a personal note, I’m a dress person and I more often wear dresses either to work or even on personal errands and I’m excited to see some lovely silhouettes in the site.  

The weather report says after the scattered rainshowers we experience now, we are looking towards cool climate. The joyous holiday season is just around the corner so better spruce up on Christmas shopping to avoid the rush J

Fashion: Ukay Finds

Got all these stuff at an ukay store in Fairview Center Mall.

black and white shirt, P80. cute right?

full length gauze skirt with lace patterns

pretty patterns and lace quality, that's why I bought it. P80.00

cotton vest with lace patterns, pretty and girly. yep, P80 too

shimmer silver shirt, still P80

Not in photo, black cordoroy knee-length skirt. I happily went home with my ukay finds. I got these stuff the same day I found out I had kidney stone so this was like a cheap thrill for me. When I got home, I got a basin and personally washed the clothes, soaked them in hot water with laundry disinfectant, rinsed and soaked in fabric conditioner after. The thing with ukay finds, you have to soak them in Lysol and hot water just to make sure their bacteria-free.  

Along Came Baby Kids and Babies Fair

Here is one event that I'm sure mommies and kids alike will love. Found this on eventful.com. Mommies can do their advanced shopping for kids' Halloween costumes, Christmas gifts,etc. Plus there are exciting activities in store for the little ones while moms shop :)
