consumerism + vanity

still on shopping...

i'm about to do some online shopping in time for my trip to nyc.

first on list is a "coastal scents" make up palette.


imagine getting around 88 colors for just a little over $20. amazing right?

next are some workout dvds... including the ones by tracy anderson.


her claim to fame? she is (or was) the trainer of madonna, gwenyth, shakira, etc...


her supposed regimen can make you get muscles without the bulk.

her moves are a little funny to do... imagine repetitive pilates...

or better yet, remember how madonna danced in her ray of light music video?


here's a short clip on her moves.



*sucker*

wanna hitch a ride with the purchases?

secret store

discovered this really cool second hand store... the girls there claim things are from italy.

not really sure... but nevertheless they have a lot of really nice pieces.

they have the usual frenchy items... like these tassled chairs...


but of course, i'm drawn to the midcentury pieces...

like these side tables with gold legs...


cool sofa and floor lamp...


green plastic chair...


i love this console. we're eyeing it. the inside is pink with mirrors! should have taken a photo.


more cool chairs...


lamps, lamps, lamps!


i'm waiting for them to text me how much this is...


wanna go?? :)

really cute installation art!


basically just colorful wind chimes and electric fans.


also so this table that i really really really like.


oh and these shelves too.

my vote's on posh!

back to all things useless...

twinpopbro brought me to uncle bill's... a small P66 store in the ayala mrt station.  (i'm sure heart2heart will love this, since she loves the 100-yen store!)


what a treasure trove!


kitchen items...


like this 100% cotton waffle weave dish cloth...



storage stuff...


bathroom stuff...


office supplies...


i wanna go back. let's go!

hk3

hey sis!

gosh, we've been idle!  i'm guessing you've been quite busy with your super cool new venture pedala.

as for moi, my internet's been totally impossible.  blame it on mercury???  finally, this morning, someone came to the rescue!

so right now, i'm 1 week delayed with my kwents.

starting with last week, on our last day in hk...

again, a few random photos...

kodakan with twinpophub while waiting for the stores to open...


another source of pride for us -- bea valdes' bags highlighted (as always) in harvey nics.  

these ones i particularly love!  devil in the details!


the bathroom in harvey nichols -- love the gold tiles and the mirrored sinks (the photo doesn't do justice!)


this is a new store on the ground floor of our hotel (parklane) called 'initial'.  local designers, and super cool store.  chuvaness actually featured this na -- hihihi.


twinpophub, paul and i wearing our "katas" shoes on our last night out.


met up with dutch fren  and asian tour pro golfer guido van der valk -- who just placed 5th in the indian open.

he recently decided to call manila home.  he's in love with manila!  just like our other euro friends!  they love our weather, and the friendly peeps too.
 

on our way home, there was this uber funky, uber expensive store that was still open.  we went in and here are a couple of things i saw (while paul was busy shopping!)...

super oddity pants that are outrageously expensive!


this one's even MORE pricy.  it's a cardigan that's on a persian carpet.  what da!?!?!


home at last...  paul disembarking...


this always makes me laugh... and cry...
