Some fab notes

Scrolling down on my posts this week, I realized that I have been so engrossed on books and audiobooks.

No, I haven't lost my fab sense, well at least not totally.

I found some good finds in Zara, and I say that these are good investments. I won't dress myself with Zara from head to foot, but these pieces are my dream addition to my wardrobe. I can imagine so many ways to wea them. With bulky necklaces, with high heels, with a boardroom jacket, With a glittery purse, or with plain white shirt and jeans (I'm thinking of the scarf). So many ways!

Summer dresses

One of the things to love about summer is that this is the season when there is an abundance of dresses to buy which, when you are in the Philippines, you can wear all year long.

These are all fab this season, all from Zara.

fab: pastels

 It is so refreshing to see these colorful, happy, feminine new pieces at Zara this week:

fab: KK

from their shop D A S H to Kardashian Kollection...if only for this, i respect the Kardashian sisters.  they really went for it! mind you, there a number of good finds in their collection and they ship in the philippines (through sears)!  their line consist of handbags, denims, jewelry, intimates, women's, sunglasses and shoes.  ...denims look cool but not for my build...shoes, ok but to too high for me...jewelry and handbags, with fab pieces but just not me... i love a couple of pieces from their clothing line though and i like their intimates (surprsingly, not sexy-eeky and true to its title -- intimates!) if i were at sears and KK was on sale, i would probably grab 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 from their rack (then deny it, haha!)

am i going crazy appreciating the brand of the kardashian sisters?! bo-hooo!

yeah, maybe i am... for the past months i've been having a sort of "post partum syndrome" cum "familiarity breeds contempt" cum "about time to graduate from that boutique drama" with my usual favorite "zara" and i have been straying other territories  (mostly window-shopping though, emphasis on window! no budget and...no body, hahaha!)...hopefully, my 6-year love story with zara will find its way back...in the meantime, i am just wandering around...and for this particular (and weird and crappy) day (only?), KK is a line that caught my eye...  check out the sisters and their ads!

uhm...i probably stand corrected... these
are not the intimates that i like... those
available online are "tame-r" and
"virginal-honeymoon-isque" type
--- what a word, haha!

this is SPG -- strict parental guidance, haha!

after uploading their ads, i realize that these don't do justice to their more subdued and less "kim kardashian"collection... do check out KK online...don't knock it until you've seen it, hehe.

fab alert: zips

Alas, my Christmas gift shopping is finally about to end, and the last gift I had to buy was for my beloved sister.

My first stop was GAP and I almost bought this red clutch with fur tail. I did not take a picture so I got this from another blogsite instead:



While this is something my sister would definitely carry, this is also something I would not tolerate. That's all. Hahaha!

Right next to the GAP store is Zara, and there I found a nice shirt with stars priced at P995 only. I know stars are on their way out as the season is about to end, but what made me buy are the gold zips at the back...



Just a few weeks ago, I saw this photo of the Duchess of Cambridge wearing a Zara blazer with zips, which is actually a summer item but well, it is still in stock in the Philippines..



Did you see the zipper on the waist?

Here's an action photo from Google Images:



(obiter: oh there's the gold clutch I liked, see my fairly recent previous post.)

If you are liking the zips, there are other items that have those. Take a look... ...at this pair of trousers with zips


...at this top


...at this blazer



All items from Zara.

When I was about to walk to the parking, I passed by Dorothy Perkins and saw this black tights with diamond design on the manequin. Well, just in case my sister decides to wear the long shirt as a mini dress, she should a least wear it with tights underneath. Hello!

And sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln, they are priced at only P395. Yes, I did not go over my budget!



So I walked out the store with a broad smile on my face, and as if timing, I heard the sound of fireworks from outside.

Yipee, Merry Christmas!
