Splurge vs Save

I would like to start this kind of post wherein i will feature two similar items.
Two similar items but different in price tag.
it is up to you to choose.
will you Splurge or Save?

unto our first product feature.


A red square bag.

                                                                          SPLURGE

I saw this photo of  Mary Kate Olsen ( or could be Ashley) from x17online.com carrying a very eyecathing bag. It says that it is from their very own brand, The Row, that costs a whopping $4000. The bag is said to be  made of  ostrich leather. 

SAVE

When i went to ZARA, i luckily saw this bag (last piece they have). I instantly remembered the photo of Olsen (above).This bag is made of synthetic leather.  I am just so thrilled when i saw the price tag. Originally price Php 3,490 or around $80, but it is on sale so i got it for only Php1690 or $39. Awesome.

So the question is, Splurge or Save?


Have a great day,everyone.                                                hearts, jeng

Zara and MAC HAUL

Hi everyone!

So i went back to Zara yesterday to get some clothes - again, and since they are still having a SALE and they reduced the price even more, i decided to go back and purchase a few things, plus,  i also went to a  Mac counter  and surprisingly, i got 2 items, an eyeshadow and a lipstick.

1) ZARA black and white tees - simple and comfy. really like the love design.
Fits perfectly and again comfy.

Originally Php 1,990, Reduced price Php 795, $18

2) ZARA Square Messenger Bag - I saw this photo of Mary Kate Olsen before i 

went to Zara, and when i saw this red bag i instantly remembered her uber chic and

casual outfit.

Originally Php 3,490, Reduced price Php 1,690, $18

3.)  MAC PATINA e/s and Sheen Supreme lipstick in ULTRA DARLING - yes, the ban
is not yet lifted, but this is an exemption. Exemption because i've been waiting for
this particular e/s (out of stock everytime i visit ), and would really like
to try their new lipstick formula. Patina e/s is like a bronzy taupe color with gold sheen to it,
 i can use this alone all over the lid, and can also be a crease color.
The lipstick is fab, love the formula, the color is like light rose pink petal color,very girly.

MAC E/S Php 900, $20
MAC SHEEN SUPREME LIPSTICK Php 1000, $ 23

Overall, Im glad i finally got the Mac Patina e/s. It is a very beautiful eye color. The lipstick, maybe i have a similar shade but i really like the formula and the sleek packaging,and also the clik. 
I also LOVE the bag i got from Zara i never own anything like it, in shape and color.


Have a great day...                           hearts, jeng

simple,clean and chic looking.

what do you want now?

have a great day everyone.                           hearts,jeng

Got something from Zara

That means a haul!

Went to Shangri-la Plaza mall ( my happy place )today and headed straight to Zara. Surprised to see that they are still on sale.

just to get the brown version of these. paid full price for these then saw they are now on sale. aarghh.

Php 1,990, $45

But instead, i got these

BROWN WEDGE SANDALS/SHOES
Orig Php 3,790 , $87 , Reduced Price Php 1,690 , $39


I never own a brown shoes, ow.  just one actually,a wedge from Nine West. Just need to get a new one. thought these are too cute and these are really comfy. love.

LIGHT WASHED SKINNY JEANS
Orig Php 2,490, $ 57  , Reduced Price Php 1,390 , $32


I love light washed jeans,especially when paired with a white tee. So simple and clean looking. im loving Zara's jeans, fits very nice. The fabric is also a winner, soft and stretchy.

I'am so going back to Zara --- soon! asap! ha ha, and do some damage again. The price is  further  reduced  so might as well, shop for some more. oh no!, if only i just have all the money in the world! LOL!LOL!

hope you are all having a great day.

take care everyone.                        hearts, jeng

focco inspired handbags

Finally, got my hands on these handbags.

From SM Fashion Forum. The  brand is VIETA.

I did get the black one first then a day after, decided that i should get the camel one too, so there -- i got two new handbags.

VIETA DEYN HANDBAGS, Php 3,475 each, $79

LOVE THOSE STUDS DETAILS 

I've seen this on displays like months ago, but not sure if i should get this or the other one.
The other one im talking about is from Alexander Wang that comes in huge price. ha ha.,
but made up my mind  and just get these instead of spending lots of money.

Ofcourse,since this is an inspired handbag/model , there are some similarities like the studs, side pockets and physical appearance but they differ in some points too, like the Vieta comes with a detachable strap ( a plus point for me) and  these are made of synthetic leather,but the material used is so soft and light. Im sure, the studs will soon tarnish,sad.

Overall, im very satisfied with what i bought and I'll be happy to carry them around.

Lately, im in this buying handbags mode and my husband is not liking it. LOL.

Have a gorgeous day.                hearts, jeng

chanel and nars haul

hi everyone.
wonder what  i bought  before i ban myself from buying any makeups?
i splurged. yes, anyway it would take awhile before i buy again, so here they are.

From Chanel and NARS.

WHAT are they?

1. Chanel eyelash curler (Php 1,250, $29) - i do own one from Shu Uemura and NARS but this is the one i truly love. Give me that sexy curled lashes in a sec.

2. Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Enigma (Php 3,050, $70) - the moment i saw that tutorial from Samantha of Pixiwoo, i knew i need this, so i went and bought it,and  i love it.

3. NARS Lovejoy blush - a very pretty warm  shade of blush that i like to use most of the time.

4. Chanel Quatuor Levres de Chanel in 10 Les Roses - all i know is these are pretty and gorgeous red and pink shades of  lipsticks, ok.

5. Chanel Quatuor Boutons de Chanel in Les Folies Noires - in short four dark eyeshadows for a smoky look.

6. Chanel VitaLumiere in 30 Cendre (Php 2,950, $67) - honestly, i regret buying this foundation. it is not what im looking for only that it is from Chanel, but im still giving it a try. Maybe the shade is a bit dark for me. Sad.

7. Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Adorable (Php 1,750, $40)- what a cute name. a cute and girly pink shade.

P.S


i saw this hair dye last Sunday.
as soon as i saw her hair color, i bought it asap. simple and chic.

Wonder what your recent makeup purchases are.

let us give our share

today !


I went to SM Hypermarket today (with my husband) and i'am just so happy that finally they dont use plastic bags anymore for our goodies, instead they now use paper bags and used boxes everyday. (they used to do this every wednesdays only).

They also sell reusable shopping bags to encourage us to also limit the use of plastic bags. Infact for a single receipt purchase of Php500, they will give you one reusable shopping bag. The cashier person,  inform us that we can also bring our other reusable bags next visit.

So to all my fellow Filipinos, let us give our share. Be cooperative.

let us show mother earth some love, and she will love us back,too.

some other thing i did this day .....

will share this one soon.

hope you'll bring your reusable bags when you go shopping.

take care.                                         hearts, jeng

Blisters no more.

Meet my JESSICA flat shoes. 
It all started here.

I bought this pair last year, but i just wore them like -- once. Yes, once.

Pretty and cute, but the reality, this pair in NOT COMFORTABLE  at all.
Got  terrible blisters after wearing this shoes.sad.

I can still remember,  the last time i wore these, my feet was hurting so bad that  my husband went back to our car just to get my slippers (to the rescue).It was then that i saw some blisters. ughh.

that  was the first and last time  i wore them.

... But, i paid like Php 4,000 (on sale) or about $95 for this pair just to keep them inside the box.

When i was looking for a shoe insert (for my sons shoes) ,  i saw a heel grip that you can put inside the shoe to protect your foot from blisters.(WOW! didnt know theres such product like this!)
 So i purchased a pair ,tried it, liked it and it is a success.
yay! no more blisters.

PAYLESS SHOE STORE  Php 195 or about $ 5

attached !

bought some more for my other closed shoes. finally, i can wear them all.

nice and comfy, get ready for some girly outfit

Glad i saw this product.

do you have some issues with shoes?

till next post. have a fab day.                         xo, jeng
