Well Hello, Spring!


Whoa! It has been a while since I updated this blog of mine. I've been very busy this month due to my Final Exams. It's not over yet though as I still need to take the last one next Thursday but just thinking about it almost being over gives a smile on my face. I can almost say, YES!


And yes, there's enough reason to smile and celebrate than just the fact that the exams are almost over. Spring is finally here! The days are definitely warmer and the entire week has been clear and blue skies. I wanted so much to take my camera out and take some spring photos. Perhaps we will do that on Sunday. I need a model and my little girl is the perfect one.

And when I was out this morning to go to the bank, I went window-shopping on the side. Browsing at the newest collections, and the various items on sale, I realized that my wardrobe is so outdated and that I need a makeover. Lol!

And there are so many things that I fancy buying. If only I had more than money to buy all these needs. Not just for me, but for my family and our little home as well. And so while browsing through home accessories, clothes, shoes, and leather goods, I hit on something.

A realization actually. And that is what this blog should be all about. I have been thinking about I would really like to do about it since I myself am confused over what to do write and blog about. Then it hit me. I really love to go windowshopping. In German, they call it "Schaufensterbummel", a very nice beautiful word, well at least for me. So there. I think in the incoming posts, you will read about beautiful stuff that made me amazed, thrilled, envious, wishful, shocked, surprised, happy and thousands of other emotions I could not even describe.

I guess that's a good head start for spring, don't you think?

Will Skinny Jeans Look Good On Me?



Skinny jeans hug the body through the hips and thighs. They are meant to flatter your silhouette by poviding a "slimming" effect, so pick this fit if u want a pair of jeans that creates a youthful look.

I have always loved people watching especially when I am in high pedestrian-traffic areas. I get to see different people from all ages and sizes and I get an idea on what's trendy these days, no matter what body shape and size you may have. I have been seeing women wearing skinny jeans but I am not sure whether it would be the right kind of pair to buy. The problem: I have a big booty and wide hips so I am not sure whether it will look good on me or make me look heavier. Another problem area is my tummy so I need to wear something that will help tuck them in.

I am actually considering taking a girl friend that next time I go shopping for clothes. That way, I will have somebody who will advice me which one looks good on me and which one doesn't. Maybe I will try on a few skinny jeans and see how I look in them. I am also considering shopping online. There are lots of nice styles that I see on the Internet but I don't know how I will look in them. But then again, I can always return the item within 14 days if they don't fit me or if they don't look good on me.

Tamaris Wedge Pumps


Love shoes? I know I do... aside from the home department section, I always find myself checking out shoe shops for some great bargains and nice designs. I so wanted to own a pair of wedge pumps and although I would only be able to use them occasionally because I am more of the sneaker-type of person, I think it would be nice if I have a pair ready. I have been searching far and wide and I guess my searching is over because I found a pair online.


Isn't she a beauty? It is from Tamaris and is made of soft genuine leather, has trendy wedge heels and a heel height of 40mm or around 1.5 inches, which is the heel height that I can tolerate. This particular design is available in three colors: pepper, blue and gray. This will just be perfect for me, don't you think? Should I order now or not... Hmmm.... I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
