Zara Look Book
Before I research for affordable Anilox (a client is looking to have me purchase this in bulk), let me post these really nice outfits from Zara. I’ve always been a fan of their styles but find their fabric too warm for the Philippines. Still, whenever my mother-in-law buys Sandy a dress from Zara, I accept it wholeheartedly because face it, their styles are really fab! And I only make sure that Sandy will wear it in places where there’s airconditioning the whole day.
Warm Coats for the Bambina
Before I search for acne treatment, let me share with you this great news. Well, at least for an online shopping addict like me.
Old Navy and Gap are on sale! You’ll love their collections and the items on sale. Check them out now.
I want to buy these for Sandy but I know I can only choose one (or two?) 
. Christmas is near after all and we need to save badly for presents, parties/dinners, Christmas shows and more Christmas shopping.

Sporting Goods for Everyone
The Husband asked me to buy him an everyday watch that he can wear when he’s commuting, shooting photos or hiking. I’ve been looking everywhere online but couldn’t find any
that fits both his budget and needs. Luckily, I stumbled upon this Freestyle Shark Buzz for $74.95 while browsing for Tippmann Paintball Packages for a client. I should’ve tried more online shops that sell sporting goods but this one from zephyrpaintball.com is just perfect. If you’re looking for the lowest prices on paintball gears, you better check out this site. Aside from their very affordable items, they offer all kinds of freebies from monthly giveaways, free ground shipping, up to $50 rebates and plenty of clearance items.
Reading – Shopping
Almost all articles that I see on blogs have to do with mesothelioma. That and shopping online. I prefer the latter really and who wouldn’t when you can buy almost anything that you want online. And you can sell stuff too, even old stuff that in perfect condition but can’t use anymore. In fact, I’ve sold most of my pre-teen and chic lit books, duplicate appliances from our wedding and other gadgets online. With everything I earn online, I blow it on online shopping as well.
My latest wish list – Victorian belt buckle, vintage antique gold necklace
Shopping for Sandy – My Favorite Pasttime
… began two months ago. The shipping of said items was a bit delayed so we decided to buy her a motorbike (it was on sale!) from our local mall so she’ll have a gift for her birthday next week. I also got her a Disney cash register from Amazon for $19. This was a great buy because the original price is currently at $52. That’s the benefit of shopping online you know. You get these amazing deals and discounts without leaving your home.
Now that Christmas is just around the corner, I’ve started gathering BabyEarth coupons hoping I can purchase any of these at a lower price.
Car Valet for $29.69 – Play games, create art or store your art supplies
She will just love this, knowing her penchant for drawing anywhere she goes, even if the car is moving.
This one, the ALEX Art Box is still on the expensive side (which explains my coupon search) but Sandy will be over the moon as soon as she sees how many colored pencils and drawing pens she can choose from.
Lastly, although I know we have no place for it and that the price is ridiculously high even if I use Playhouses coupons, I really want to buy her a Play House. She and her cousin (and her future baby sister or baby brother) can play there and create their own world filled with fairies, magic, pirates and what-not.
The house below cost more than my dream machine (iMac) so I’d probably get this if we ever win the lottery. It reminds me of the house that the Cullens gave Edward and Bela when they got married 
Boots?
I stumbled upon this site selling Dansko womens shoes three hours ago and yet I’m still browsing up to now. I really want to get a pair of boots although I have no idea where I can wear it. I used to own a pair of knee-high ten years ago and was surprised to see that it’s still the same style that is being sold on most stores. Too bad I lost them when I moved houses! Now I want to have a pair more than ever.
If only we have winter her too, I could wear all the wraps, trench coats and boots that are so popular in Gossip Girl.
Jewelry Talk
I met with some of my girlfriends last week. Since we all love accessories, I told them about Holsted Jewelers, my latest favorite fashion jewelry website. This was after we went from one jewelry shop to another, hopelessly trying to find an affordable cocktail ring. We found several cheap ones but they look cheap too! Hence, the visit to holstedjewelers.com. What I like about their styles is that they look high-end without really putting a dent on your wallet. Well, at least not as big as what I’m expecting to pay. They sell various kinds of accessories from fashion, stone, metal, sets and bridal. It’s not only for women though because you can find lots of gifts ideas for your man on their Gift and Accessories section.
Jewels and More
I love jewelries! More so if they are cheap but look like the real thing. If you’re like me, I highly suggest that you go to HolstedJewelers.com right now. They sell the most fabulous designer costume jewelry without putting a hole on your pocket. Nothing beats the real thing I know but if you don’t have the money, why spend your life in debt when you can enjoy the next best thing. The jewelries at Holsted are not available in any retail store so you can be assured that not everyone wears what you’re wearing. My latest favorite is their stackable jewelry.
Sterling silver ring set for $42.
Multicolor Mayfair 5-piece stack ring for $69
Online Baby Shops
One of the things that I like about motherhood is shopping for the baby. There’s no guilt because you’re spending money on the most important person in the whole world. And if you see online shops like babynest.com, you wouldn’t be able to resist shopping. I buy baby gifts online because there are so many options and most important of all, unlimited discounts and special offers. At The Nest Baby Shop, they specialize in personalized baby items so you can be assured that your gift is unique. Take a look at this pretty tee and tutu set for $29.95. You can add your little girl’s initial on the tee and her name on the pants. It comes in 6M-12M too so imagine how lovely your little baby girls will look.
More items that you can personalize from The Nest Baby Shop: rompers, tees and onsies, blankets and bedding, bibs and burp clothes, utensils, diaper bags, favors and gift sets. If you’re on a very tight budget, simply choose from the gifts under $25, $50, $100 or better yet, visit the clearance section and see what you can hoard for $20.
Toys for the Big Boys
The Husband saw a painting ball area when we went to Tagaytay Highlands yesterday. He wanted to try it out but we’ve already booked too many activities for the entire afternoon so he wasn’t able to. I told him to just go with my brother next week and he agreed, but not after asking if he can buy himself a planet eclipse ego gun. So I checked the site zephyrpaintball.com today because I heard they sell affordable paintball gears. Boy was I shocked when I found out how much a paintball gun cost. And this is from a site that offers clearance items and free shipping. To be fair, they are really much cheaper than other stores but there’s just no way I’m letting him buy a toy worth $400 and up. I’ll just get him a cheap airsoft gun or a nice goggle or a sling. He agreed to the goggle so quick which made me wonder if I was manipulated in some way.
