Am glad it will soon be summer, there is an excuse to post these pics. But then again, they were not swimwear, they were underwear. Story to follow. ... Continue Reading...

Pardon the slew of commercial posts ahead. After all it's Christmas and we're supposed to be shopping :P Starting with the Sony Ericsson post, I will be featuring here a host of products to have and to hold.... not necessarily wallet-friendly, but then again, who can argue with quality??

I like it when malls are located right next to MRT stops - this one and the ... Continue Reading...

The word is French but espadrilles are proudly made in Spain where they are probably as common there as our bakya. They are casual footwear distinguished for having soles made of braided rope or jute and the soft fabric make them oh-so-ideal for walking, strolling and malling. Besides, nothing more is ideal for our sunny weather. Espadrille3 I immediately took a liking for the one above because of the pretty little shoelace ... Continue Reading...
