'Mel & Joey' tv show featuring my dogs

I got a text message from Ms. Pia from GMA of Channel 7 last week , she asked if they could feature our dogs in their show as the 'most pampered pets in town'.  After informing my mom about it, I immediately said 'yes'.  The shooting was held last May 7 & will air on May 15.

The taping was held for almost 6 hours & all of our babies were so well-behaved! The crew was so friendly & nice to all our furkids.  It was a fun day for us all!

Here are some photos below:

Style Tip: How To Make Your 'Jeremy Scott' bag into an 'everyday bag'

The Jeremy Scott bags are gorgeous, no doubt about that!  

They are great to collect because they only have a limited number of bags released per design & they have new designs every season which means it is very rare to bump into someone carrying the same bag as you because this bag is indeed very special, rare, & not to mention priced higher than the usual Longchamp Le Pliage travel bag!

However, due to its size, many Longchamp collectors are having second thoughts on this bag due to its size.  Yes, this bag is HUGE.  All Jeremy Scott bags are! The size of these bags are 17.75x14x9 inches same as the le pliage large short handle. This could stop other Longchamp lovers from purchasing the bag no matter how much they love the design unless you're into big bags like me. I carry so much stuff with me everyday I leave the house, I don't know why, it's like I'm always going on a trip. LoL!  :)

Nonetheless, there is a solution!

How To:

*Fold the sides of your JScott bag inwards after zipping it closed. 

(You can also wear it unzipped so that whenever you're on the go, you don't have to pull out the sides & unzip it. See photo below for reference.)*

Have fun everyday! 

Love,

H

Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flats

I just got these babies as a birthday present.  Well actually, I got an 'Ayala Malls EGC (Electronic Gift Certificate)' as a gift but I was actually thinking of choosing things that I needed like a camera bag & a new luggage, or a pair of sunglasses since I do not have one & its the middle of summer now & it's really really hot & sunny here in Manila. 


After my usual LONG 'shopping debate',  I finally got convinced that I should pick something more special, something that I don't need but would love to have & appreciate.  They suggested a pair of Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flats which didn't even cross my mind before because I find them too expensive for a pair of flats.


So, there we were inside Tory Burch in Greenbelt 5.  It took me more about half an hour to try & feel the shoes, and another hour to decide on which color!  I have always been one of those 'super slow shopper' because I usually think about all the items I purchase, whether it be clothes, shoes, bags, perfume, or beauty products.   I always ask myself-- do I need it? Is it worth it? Is it a classic? How often can I use it? What are the ingredients in this product? And after deciding that I'll get something, it'll usually take me another half an hour or more to choose a color.  In this case, the distressed leather ballet flats in gold caught my attention but ended up choosing a classic color, the dark brown variant, as my first pair.



THE VERDICT:
1. The first day I wore them, it was complete torture.  Yes, it did make my outfit look a LOT better even if I was just wearing a pair of dark skinny jeans & a light yellow polo shirt.  It magically transformed my get up from 6 to 9!
But as much as it made my outfit dressed up, the pain & sacrifice was equally at the same level.  'Breaking in' these shoes are very uncomfortable.  After 1 1/2 hour, I couldn't bare the pain anymore & so I bought a pair of slippers.


2. The second time I wore it was 2 days after.  I had dinner with my family & went around the mall after.  I was worried that they would hurt my feet again but I knew I had to wear it again or else I wouldn't break it in.  Plus, it made my outfit look a lot better again & this time I was wearing a dress.  To my surprise, after about 45 minutes, my feet still didn't feel the slightest pain!  The shoes felt so light & soft.  The longer I wore it, the nicer & more comfortable it became!  It seems as if the leather became softer & that it molded as if it were made for my very own feet. :)



Would I recommend this?
If you're like me who loves wearing flats, my answer is 100% YES.  


Why?

• It's the most comfortable flats I've ever owned
• It's a classic, the design seems to never go out of style
• These flats can be worn with any outfit.  It can glam up any outfit but it can also be worn perfectly on toned-down & simple ensembles
• The flats itself are simple but the big emblem logo makes it look very elegant & fashionable but not too flashy
• It is true to it's size
• You can wear it with anything
• Easy to pack, it's very light & thin.  It's convenient for travel, it even fits my purse
• Has many designs to choose from.  They have plain patent leather, distressed leather, leopard patent leather, suede, snake skin, satin, metallic, glitter & napa
• You can collect them because they have new colors & styles every season
• As for longevity, I think it lasts for a very long time because my friend has had her pair for 3 years & it still looks nice & new

I suggest to buy online as the collection here available in Manila is very limited.
