Eureka Moment at Ferretti!

I have been searching for a plain black high-heeled shoes that won't require me to use my medical insurance!  Believe me when I say it took me YEARS!  

Remember the FREE Nationwide shipping on Ferretti Online Store which was launched last September 1?  I nearly ordered mine online but because of my busy work schedule, I can't go to the bank for deposit.  Since I will be heading to Makati over the weekend anyway for errands, I've decided to drop by Ferretti store.  

This pair of black suede pumps caught my attention....

I asked for my size from the super friendly sales lady and once I tried it, I knew I've found the one!  As OC as I am, it took me a couple of minutes to walk around the store just to make sure I'm not imagining its comfort!  

Eureka Moment!
Black Suede Shoes

Php1,499.00 (approx $35.00)

I also left the store with an additional item!  Ah, I need to blindfold myself while waiting for the right shoe size to arrive.  I went to the accessories area and found this lovely necklace perfect for both casual and dressy occasions.  

Another Eureka Moment!
Gold Necklace
Php399.00 (approx $9.50)

This can be spice up a simple top

And...

doubles as a bracelet!

My fashion sense has always been on a casual, comfortable and "cute" side!  As I grow older, it doesn't hurt to invest classic pieces!

Thanks Ferretti for making comfortable shoes!  This is my 3rd pair and I have a feeling the collection of this brand will grow!  I am also proud to share that Ferretti is 100% locally made!  Proudly Pinoy!

Have you found Your LBS? (Little Black Shoes)?

Your Reporter....

I Wonder: Are You Into Stickers?

Let's go for hand-raising game shall we?

"Who adores stickers?"
"Who among you collects stickers?"
"Anyone from you who likes to put stickers on random stuff like notebooks, pens or even make-up brushes?"
"Anyone of you who are into putting stickers on walls?"

The last question got you huh?  I think I can put down my arm now as I've had it raised the whole time!  I'm not a crazy sticker collector but I do appreciate cute stickers every now and then.  Yes!  Up to this very moment!  I even put stickers with "Nikki" on my important brushes!  It's not that I love myself so much, I just don't want to grab other people's brushes when I'm on a gig.

Back when I was in high school, my bestfriend, who moved to Canada to study comes home once a year and we like to exchange gifts!  Once she gave me a huge wall sticker from Precious Moments that looks like this....

**photo from source

It was one of those simple yet unforgettable gifts that I won't forget.  You'd think they all ended up inside my bedroom?  Nope!  I like to share cute stuff with the family so I actually pasted them on our living room!  *laughs*  Just so you know, I have 2 brothers!  *hahaha*

Years after, they do look old but they survived and are still looking okay.  So can you imagine how many times I cart wheeled (yeah, as if I can do that! lol) when I saw these cuties online?

I wanted this because it exudes my "happy and sunny disposition"

Oh, this took my heart away as it reminded me of my teaching years!

This looks perfect for anyone into blogging!  

I want aqua blue colored walls!

I'm not into Mathematics but I'm actually good at it!  

8x6 = ahhhhhmmm

Next!  *laughs*

This is so cute, I can stare at these all day 

and remind myself to work hard so I can travel the world!!!

This looks so adorable!  Reminded me of myself and Mr. AMW

It's NOT because we have huge nostrils!  :P

After hours *seriously* and hours of choosing, Mr. AMW and myself have decided to go with this.....

Because Mr. AMW thinks the cat with pink (and polka dotted) skirt looks like me!

And I plainly told him the cute pig reminded me of him! *comeback!!!!*

To be honest, I have gotten these for more than 2 weeks but I still can't decide where to put them!

I really wish we have dark-colored walls so these babies can show up better! :)

It's a project I'm excited to do! And before I end this post,

I wonder:
"Are  You Into Stickers Like Me?"

I want to thank Val for these Wall Stickers!  You made the child in me forever alive!

Feel free to check them out on Facebook.
Each Wall Candy Manila Stickers Set costs approximately Php450/650/750/850/950 shipping not included.  You can purchase them HERE.

Revlon CustomEyes Waterproof Mascara Review

Revlon, a brand of cosmetics that I'm quite impressed in terms of foundation, lipsticks and blushes!  I just can't seem to like their mascaras because they are either "hohum" or "so so".  

Then why another Revlon mascara review?  I've been using this mascara on and off for the past months and I just can't seem to categorize this under the  "to keep" or "to chuck" list!  Until now.....well. yeah, I'm a girl!  It's difficult to make up my mind sometimes but I finally did! :P

Revlon CustomEyes Waterproof Mascara is another addition to "gadgety-cosmetics" family!  A mascara that's made of plastic bristles that moves up and down!  (I'm sure its up and down!) :P
