Maria Bonita Extra S/S 2013

because summer is forever! =D

i was scouring Trendland when i bumped into Maria Bonita Extra. :)

yeah, i seem to be bumping into everyone lately. ;P

and well, if i have to bump into things to drool over

beautiful things like these, then i gladly will.

bump, bump, bump!

this is gorgeous!

since i gained a few pounds over the last months, i have been

obsessed with unique swimsuit & resort pieces. :)

the silk comeback?

i must raid my closet and look for silk pieces to redo soon. :)

prints! who doesn't love prints? i know i do! :D

love all the way to the next summer. :)

The September Issue Cover War: Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, etc.

okay, so not only does September marks the -ber months

coming in but it also is the month of the biggest & thickest issues of

fashion magazines (more like books really).

and of course, yer missus here can hardly contain her drool! ;)

besides contesting to put the most influential people on their covers,

fashion mags aim to come out with the most number of ad pages

for their September issues. let's start the butchering. ;)

this is easily my favorite! already, yes. :)

it's still July, and i've got my fave already! :)

Gwen Stefani is just love, and so is Harper's Bazaar. 

Marie Claire's 5th reacord-breaking issue of the year! :)

and it has Miley Cyrus on the cover. :) yeah, i'm a closet Miley fan.

ssshhhhh. ;) i also hear Chanel RTW is doing ads in this ish for the first time.

Glamour may have lost a few ad pages this time, but i'm

sure it won't lose on sales. what, with Victoria Beckham on the cover?

no fail! sold, sold, sold! you had me at V. :)

Selena Gomez covers Teen Vogue September power issue. :)

very fitting! Jennifer Lopez for InStyle

is a match made in well, almost heaven. :)

with Katy Perry on the cover, well, this really may be the largest ish ever. :)

Vogue boasts that this is to be their biggest issue EVER!

don't they say that each time? ;P

now, notice how each cover features an artist?

no supermodels allowed, eh? hmmm.

i love September issues! they're what made me start my blogging

back in Sept 2010. even fashion magazines here

in the Philippines live up to the September pressure. :))

it's always a happy place for me! :D

and you can guess, i drool a lot around this month. :D

Coming Home to Mandaue Foam

i was visiting Patty Laurel's blog when I first bumped into

Mandaue Foam. :) yeah, bumped. as in nauntog! heehee. ;)

kidding. truth is i had to lean back on my chair like i've been bumped.

there was just so much gorgeousness in front of me.

wanna check? here, para mauntog ka din. ;)

the interior, based on Patty's photos of course, is really nice!

so without further do, i checked the website.

and more oh-la-la for me. :)

but hey, a girl's gotta have a top 3, and here they are!

drool with me, yes? :)

i absolutely love the Gregory bookcase! =D

as in pwede ng pakasalan sa sorang love! ;)

you see, i'm such an OC when it comes to housekeeping.

i am the type who'll put everything down when i feel/see that

it's makalat. kahit cheesecake pa ang ihain mo,

if i see kalat, ligpit muna. so basically, i get gaga over things that

support my ka-OChan. ;) lalo na  things that help me organize.

another confession? i'm a book whore! ;D so really, what better way

to keep'hoe happy but a savvy bookcase. what i really dig about this

bookcase is its unconventional design. :)

then there's this Marvin L-Shape sofa! 

i have always been in love with furniture pieces that are space savers

coz i grew up maximizing what little space our house has to offer. :)

this sofa is so sleek it can modernize and add class to any space.

come to home momma! ;)

the [drumroll] Caprice!

how aptly called. ;)

kaprisyosa lang ako  to have my beloved reads

beside me each night in bed. ;) pwede ding mag-imbak ng

cheesecake sa headboard! hmm, limitless choice. =D

talagang 'Your Home, Your Imagination.'

this'll make me come home early each and every day.

now come to think of it, they really live up to their credo.

'Come Home to Mandaue Foam.'

come home like this.
