Loving Gucci's Fall Winter Collection... for MEN!

Gucci showcased their Fall Winter 2010-2011 and, though the Women's Collection was impeccable as always, I find myself salivating over the bags in the Men's Collection!

 

 

 

 

 

They're luggage, hence the hefty size. But you know us women--we like to carry our entire houses with us everywhere we go. So I'm definitely liking the men's bags!

Zoya's zooo amazing!

Hey preggy women, breastfeeding mommies and anyone who's vegan! You can still have pretty nails, thanks to Zoya.

I first encountered Zoya when my friend, beauty columnist and blogger Mariel Chua, and I visited Organic Rituals Spa. We were curious because I was still preggy then and Mariel is into organic/natural stuff.

We met the gorgeous owners Nikki Angco and Kat Aramento who both showed us the wonderful products they have in the spa.

Mariel interviews Nikki about Zoya 

It's so pretty here! Very relaxing, too.

While I love my mani-pedi experience at Organic Rituals, I'll do a review of the spa later. Today I'll just talk about Zoya. Well, I'll just reprint the text I saw on their Facebook page (like! like! like!)

Zoya Nail Polish has 300+ colors to choose from. There is a color for every mom. And Zoya makes it easy with the Nail Polish Color Finder.

In case you didn't know, Zoya Nail Polish was designed with pregnant women in mind. It is formaldehyde, toluene, DBP and camphor free. It's a safe nail polish choice and it is free of harmful toxins. 

Use the Zoya Color Lock System to keep your nail polish color lasting longer. It's the perfect gift for a salon perfect manicure at home.

Call 6613101 or Text 0915-4887838 for orders.

P.S. Organic Rituals also has SPA Rituals lacquer. As you can see at the back, this polish is vegan. Even its bottle is made from recycled glass!

Organic Rituals Spa is at the mezzanine level of Atlanta Bldg, Annapolis St. Greenhills, San Juan.

Behind-the-scenes peek at Kate Torralba Hearts Paperdolls runway show

Kate. Uncharacteristically serious!

Who wears what? Photo tags ensure no mix-ups!

Mod makeup coming up!

Nice shot! A model checks herself out.

See? Models aren't catty. They even do each other's makeup!

Be careful! That hot steam can seriously burn!

The models get ready to walk

Showtime!

Kate Torralba designs 60s-inspired collection for Paperdolls

I'm so proud of Kate! I really enjoyed her last collection with Paperdolls (the multi-striped one!) so I was happily looking forward to her next design project with PD. And, as usual, she did not disappoint!

At Philippine Fashion Week last week, KT debuted her latest KT <3 PD line, a very mod 60s-inspired collection that's just--no, I won't say it!--groovy!

Here are my favorite pieces:

I love the shorts and jacket combo!

Will definitely get this coat!

This shift dress is so me!

That black coat is a must-have!

Love that boxy jacket!

I really really like this...but it would've been perfect

 on me when I was still 95 lbs!

Love that huge rose on the chest!

I'd wear this to my renewal vows ceremony with Vince!

Wild! Again, if I were still 95 lbs, game!

I love the camel high-waist slacks!

Kate really enjoyed designing the clothes for this collection. She said, "If I had my way, I'd love to have been around during those days of Mod and Flower Power."

KT's new collection for Paperdolls is available at all SM Department Stores.

Robinsons Dept Store's warehouse sale

Here's another sale you can check out for Christmas: Robinsons Department Store is holding a warehouse sale from now till November 8 at Robinsons Galleria. The sale is not at the department store, however, but at the area between Timezone and Jamaican Patties at the top level.

Participating brands are Nike, Adidas, Vans, Reebok, Umbro, Skechers, Rockport, Crocs, Ray-Ban, Timex, Wrangler, Dickies, Osh Kosh B'gosh, Echolac, Wenger, Elle, Slazenger, Triumph, Jockey, Luminarc, Philips, Midea, Hanabishi and American Home.

It's up to 70% off, people! I'm most interested in getting new underwear from Triumph and Jockey, plus I'm hoping the classic Ray-Ban aviators are insanely discounted, and I want to check out the baby clothes of Osh Kosh. Merry Christmas!

Forever 21 goes on sale. Again!!!

Pssst! If you missed the crazy sale two weekends ago, fret not. You get another chance this coming weekend!

You know why this sale is better than the previous one? It's from October 29 to November 1. Count that! Four days!

And if you own any of the credit cards in the yellow poster, you get 0% interest if you shop on installment. Yes!!! Installment!

My eyes love this! La Mer Eye Balm Intense

Quick quick post since I've only started using this (total day count: 3 days!) but I still want to say this early that my eyes are feeling the change... and showing it!

I'll make a proper review in 2 weeks. Keep you posted!

About the Forever 21 sale

I didn't go (loooong story) but Kabbie did and this was what greeted her outside the store:

Goodness gracious! Did you go? What did you buy that made that insanity above worth it???

Are you going to the Forever 21 sale tomorrow?

Oh, have I been gone for eternity! Sorry, gave birth on August and have been in love since. But now I am drowning in beauty products and fashion news and will now start blogging again. Two of the most popular blog posts I wrote were about the opening of Forever 21 in Manila so it's only fitting that I'm back to blogging with a post on its fabulous sale tomorrow!

Lucky me was able to have a sneak peek at the stuff that's going to be on sale and I've got my eye on a few pieces. Here they are:

linen shorts, P409

red shorts with zipper detail, P309

black wrap top, P359

plaid shirt, P409

gray romper, P409

linen romper with belt, P409

black bandage dress, P469

red dress, P309

Of course, there's a ton more on sale! So go to sleep early tonight and rest... Tomorrow's crazy sale time! And if you're a BDO cardholder and SM Advantage cardholder (like moi), you get extra extra extra!
