TOMS

April 5, yesterday TOMS celebrated One Day Without Shoes. This annual event is an awareness campaign for those kids in need. A pair of TOMS white slip-on purchased, a child in need receives a pair of shoes. Did you go shoeless yesterday?

Blake Mycoskie (founder) - best piece of advice ever received..`the more you give, the more you live.´

Anyway, I love these pairs! Where can I get TOMS in Brazil?

FlipFlops and Kate Middleton

Am not so into the details of the upcoming royal wedding of Prince William and Kate. So happen that I´ve got nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon that I accidentally browsed through the royal wedding blog by yahoo shine. I´ve read bunch of articles and realized the pair of Havaianas I bought last January has the same designer as Kate Middleton´s engagement dress. And I was like..oohhh lucky me for grabbing a limited pair by the famous designer Daniella Issa Helayel. Maybe this pair is the most sought after flipflops right now in London.

Actually when I first saw this at the store. No brainer. I bought it. Purchased at R$ 36,90. Am surely keeping it for long. I felt like a princess!

Bungee Cord

Not for your extreme sports..but for your hair..Ditch those rubber bands that damage your hair. Next time ponytail comes your mind you may want to consider bungee cord to tie your hair.

Sheer Skirt

If I still live in Banawe/Retiro where I only need one jeepney ride to Divisoria, I would run go get a ride the soonest possible. I´m insanely obsessed with this skirt right now. Tutuban Mall in Divisoria will surely give me the right garment for this skirt at a relatively cheap price. No idea where can I find cheap but good quality garments in Brazil like chiffon, tule, silk etc..

Sigh. I so miss Divisoria...

Flare Jeans

I can well remember the first time I had my flare pants. I was in 2nd year college back in 1999. A cheap pair of jeans from Greenhills Shopping Center. Back then, wide-leg pants were in but they were tailored on the hips and tight on the knees. Now they´re back with the inspiration from the 70´s. Not a hipster type but tailored with a mid to high waist.

´´In 2011, we'd recommend jeans that are more fitted on the thigh - lean to flared legs or moderately wide legs rather than wide legged jean styles that are too baggy or that lack shape´´ - fashionising.

hem at least as wide as your foot

loose on the knee

Another vintage look you can sport!
