Day 21: Kim Nana Headband Craze

The thing with Koreans is that they are just damn too cute and we can't help but love and admire them from their heartwarming dramas down to their high-end fashion trend.

I'll start off with the new Korean drama, City Hunter. One word, ecstatic! I love Lee Min Hyu if I spelled it correctly, popularly known as Gu Jun Pyu from his previous drama, F4. Who wouldn't, he looks good for me and is cute. He is cuter in City Hunter than F4.

Next is the leading lady. Though it would be expected that most will hate the girl because of the "caribal" stuff with Lee Min Hyu, I didn't because she is cute too. I mean I like the way she dresses and everything seems to be perfect in her.

Then, last their trends. I haven't posted pics of the guy since I'll be talking more with the girl trend.hehe But anyway just for additional information. City Hunter a.k.a. Lee Min Hyu is I guess the first detective, stunt, action star or whatever to be fashionista at heart as well. You could tell it by the different colors of his jeans.

Now getting to the main topic, the Kim Nana Headband Craze. This headband has been already out before City Hunter even started. The headbands seemed to be weird since instead of wearing it as headband, they wear it like a crown (I don't exactly know how to describe it). But it was just lately when the ribbon effect turned into a craze everytime Kim Nana wears it as a daily accessory paired with her cute pajamas. Just look below.

And because I can't get enough with it by just watching the movie, I've gone to malls just to look for it. Luckily, I've found one. It's not exactly the same with Kim Nana's becasue hers is like a band that really encircles the head. What I found was the typical one well it was just too perfect, almost the exact replica.

After I bought it, I didn't wait to arrive home to finally wear it instead I went straight to the comfort room, opened the plastic and wear it. I even took a pic. Take a look at.

By the time I arrived home, still I was the whole time making poses with the headband.

Just out of the blue, I decided to put our pics together. Well, not to show some similarities because obviously there are none but the Kim Nana Headband Craze.hehe

Day 6: Unstoppable Online Shopping

Up for a guessing game? As much as I want to show you the pieces I bought online, I decide to come up with this one because of my very creative plan in mind once these are delivered already.

Something that will keep you guessing?

Honestly I have made drafts for my pictorial and I can't wait to finally wear those and pose for the so called "shooting".

Well, it's not really the high fashion, super in right now clothes. I have tons of those already so the end result, nothing is left for daily wear. Mmmmh let me think. Do you think it's plain normal of me wearing a palazzo when just going to a park?haha Exactly!

So the ones I have ordered are meant for my daily outdoor wears or the typical come-what-may "lakwatsa". Since I am an online seller as well at Wholesale CDO, I have all the access to my direct suppliers of buying wholesale items at a very low price. You can notice the varieties or the blocks which are 6pcs. Familiar? Like 6pcs wholesale / pre-pack?

Then the border is the most thing that I like. It is a candy colored "_______" perfect for summer.

Come back for my soon post. Let me see if you get the answer right. What do you think are these?

Day 3: Don't Agonize, Organize!

Don't agonize. Organize.--Florence Kennedy

And so I spent the whole day buying groceries and stuffs for my room makeover. Food for my goal to gain weight and stuffs to finally organize my room at least one step at a time.

One thing that gets me excited when going to Malls is the Japan Home store. I love the stuffs especially for the home decorations and organizations. Also, because I just love buying and shopping.

It took me an hour to decide the stuffs I wanted to buy. I got hold of three different types of organizers and ended with the candy colorful sets of mini storage containers. Of course I always go for design, quality and affordability.


Most of the products there are all 66, 88, 99. Then, the first two types of organizers I got hold of cost 88 each and I needed two for that. So, the price was not too affordable. But when I was already in line to purchase it, I saw cute colorful sets of mini storage containers packed in 3. I asked the cashier how much and it only costs 66. I bought two sets of different shapes and variations.

Once I arrived home, I did not waste any time to organize my stuffs. Below is my before and after photos. I am so happy with the results.

endangered S(PIECES): BANDAGE SKIRTS!

Out of stock or sold out is the word of the day. Bandage skirts are so endangered that in just a couple of days, I'll be posting it as the page's status. Poor little bandages. Below are the first collection of bandage skirts at Wholesale CDO.








This totally needs an immediate restock. So, a while ago I uploaded the second collection and in disbelief it is once again almost out of stock. Having one left is good as out of stock right?=) The one left is this:



I pity my favorite color green since it is the only one left behind. But if no one would mind buying it then, my closet would gladly embrace it as their newly found family member. Here are the 5pcs that have been reserved already.







There were some who reserved ahead though but don't worry, i'll restock immediately by Wednesday right after the reservations arre paid. I learned my lesson too, no to all plain colors. It doesn't catch so much attention so I stick with printed and plain designs.=)

Germz go Vintage at 22!

I am wearing a polka dot vintage dress bought online at Sam's Station by Jennelyn Mercado. (only for 280php)

The bag was a gift from states. (not aware of the price)

The accessories were bought at Aizylim at cogon, Cagayan de Oro City. (neckalce - 60php, bangles-50/set, earrings was from a friend)

The hat was from Robinsons Cebu City. (only for 149php)

The braided belt was a DIY made by yours truly. (spent only 53php for the resources)
The platforms were from Ororama CDO. (549php)

DIY: braided belt!

Vintage look and stuffs have been dominating in the fashion world nowadays. And for every piece you have, there will always be that signature braided belt right? Like these?




These could complete your high-waist bottoms, scallop shorts, vintage dress or that huge body tunic. But you don't wanna look like a second rate copy cat following the girls out there. So, I got something for you. To have that personal touch, let's have a DIY session. Aren't you excited?

Well, I actually come up with DIYs stuffs during "cant-afford-pieces" times which just only proves that you have no excuse of owning that "cant-afford-piece" when you can actually make one for your own. From a 150php belt it, make one for only 53php.

Now here's what you need"

1. A 6-inches long cord (preferably the thickest). It's similar with the ones used for kidada wraps but just thicker. The cord cost 8.75php (I think.) per meter so multiply it by 6.
2. A buckle costing for 2php only. (I used the one that has no closure. I am not actually familiar with the term.)

3. A pair of Scissors

4. A transpartent tape (I used plaster instead because I can't find one...tsk)

Now, let's start:

1. First, you need to equally divide your cord into 3. Cut it so to have 3 equal length cords.

2. Then, tie it into your buckle. (Just like how you tie your cord into your id.)


3. After the 3 cords tied up on the buckle, start braiding. (I bet you need no instructions in this part.)

4. Tape the ends, then with a transparent tape. (I apologize for the untidy looking plaster.)





Viola, you're all done. The result would be a high waist belt for the slims like me with the 6-inch-long cord used in this session. But if you prefer longer, you can go for 9-inch-long. Just remember the rule: the length should be divisible by three because you need to divide it equally by three.

I am shoe 70's!

Tricolor leather fashioned into an audacious asymmetrical sandal inspired by the ‘70s of its chubby swathed platform and heel. Oh look it’s a green multi JEFFREY CAMPBELL Joni Sandal costing you whooping 2, 610php. Don’t ya wanna come running in sandals? Or you’ll go running away because of the price?



But I take style with this new height in the ‘70s-inspired platform ala Jeffrey Campbell sandal instead. I am proud to introduce this funky blue colored open toe with crisscross suede at vamp with its exposed wooden platform embellished with buckles and studs.




I am super duper captivated of its heel attached with rubber grip bottom making it easy for me to dance all night.



Wait! Prolong your amazement as I reveal its mystery because I got it half price or just a quarter from a price of Jeffrey Campbell Joni. It’s for only 595php. Whew! Can you believe that?



It’s from a store here in Cagayan de Oro City at Ororama mall. The mall is not that big but surely you’ll be amazed of the skills and talent of the owner of choosing the stuffs for her mall. Amazing!
