GLITTER IN GOLD

I attended a company Christmas Party last December 4th with a "Colors of Christmas" theme. I originally planned on wearing a white backless dress with red shoes and accessories but when I was cloth-shopping at a mall with my friend Beth, a gold cloth caught my attention. I instantly loved it! So why not wear gold? And I've got company. Beth & Dante completed the "Golden Trio".


On Beth: This dress sports a girly look for Beth which speaks so much of her personality. The strapless top emphasizes her slim arms and gives that sexy appeal to the outfit. The belt positioned just below the bustline also makes her legs look longer. The killer pumps looked perfectly sexy complimented with a purse of the same color and design. Bravo Beth! You look FABulous girl!


On Dante: This outfit is soooo Dante! Something very close to my heart because this is one of my works of art. Dante and I went shopping for the suit and he told me that he wanted gold details on the shoulders and the body of the suit as well so I worked my way into creating that "it" outfit for him. I'm so glad that he liked it. I must say it will take another "Dante" to carry that dress the way he did! The 14.8mm black contacts also looked great on him. It gives that "fantasy feel" to his total look.


On Me: The top of the dress was the gold cloth that I fell in love with and the bottom was a sequined cloth which was more like a combination of peach and beige. I wanted something that will look great for the evening so I decided for a heavily sequined bottom. I also sewed some beads on the right shoulder of the dress so it will not appear too off from the sequined bottom. The beadwork was a combination of gold medium-sized beads and tiny glass beads in peach for that "droplets effect". And of course the red pair of shoes that I sooo love complimented with a red purse, red bangle and the uber sexy red lipstick!

Happy Holidays everyone! May you glitter this holiday season in style! :)

TAKE ME THERE...my fav pair of shoes!

My all time favorite shoe! This ever reliable pair has been taking me to so many places for as long as I can remember. It's pretty old - I can't exactly remember when I bought it but I think it's been with me for two years or so and I wear it at least three times a week. A very trustworthy pair of shoes indeed! I say bravo to my favorite shoe!

Got this from Grendha. The same company that sells Ipanema and Rider. The quality is highly commendable! The material is plastic so it allows me to wash it when it becomes dirty from constant use. What I love about this is that it doesn't look like plastic unlike the others wherein you can really tell what the material is made of. I also like the color which is more like metallic brown allowing me to match it with most of my clothes.



This pair already has signs of wear and tear in its insoles but I still love it. Though I'm thinking about getting another pair of the same brand with a different style but I'm sure I'll still keep this pair company for a long time until it gives up on me. haha!

Here's a tip from a practical shopper (that's me!...yes me! :P) - in buying a pair of shoes, always consider the quality. High quality items may oftentimes come with a higher price but think about the benefits that you'll get from it. If you buy an inexpensive pair but it will only last for a month or so then it's not a wise buy. You would rather opt to save on something pricey but of high quality that will last for years like my feet's buddy here. But remember, not everything that's pricey is of high quality so don't be deceived. Be a wise buyer. There are items that are inexpensive but of high quality. I guess the key is try not to be an impulsive buyer. Examine the item first, check the quality, consider the price and then think if it's worth buying or not ;)
