"I’m a girl!"                                                                        

Annette, a fellow blogger, made me smile after reading this catchy expression in her previous post. I thought I could also share my personal indulgences and some of my biggest love…. because…. "I’m a girl, too!"

                                             ㅇㅇㅇㅇ

I’m a fan of BIG purses…bag binge? Yupp! I can definitely carry my life in them. And everybody else’s too. I adore duffel and weekender bags because of their several interior compartments and their side pockets. For parties, I can just carry my trendy blue and white Kate Spade purse.Dsc07470

Dsc07471 Guess, Esprit, Liz Claiborne and Kate Spade…love ‘em! They’re always with me.

My satchel, top-zip and purses from Finno, Nicole and Bally need some washing :)

                                                

What’s in my bag?  My Starbucks 2007 Planner, car key, car remote, LG-Cyon Mobile Phone, Neutrogena Hand Cream, Electronic Dictionary, Face Powder, Staedler Pen, wallet from Replay (got this on sale at Shangri-La’s…only for P600) and my make-up pouch (well, it has a lip gloss, a scent-case, blush, Vichy Oligo 25 Yeux, lip brush, lip liner and a couple of thin liners).

This is fun! Gina, Len, Rose and Annette ~~~ a million "Thanks!" I can’t wait to read AJ’s, MJ’s and Menchu’s "What’s In MY Bag" entries :)

                                                                                                

                                               ㅇㅇㅇㅇ

Prime Time ~~~ well, watches are right in sync ~~~ whether from patent leather to pearls or vibrant colors to wood trims. Leather bands in  black, white and red are ineffably chic, adding elegance to anything you choose to pair them with. Don’t you just love Swatch watches? Yum! Fossil, Guess, Diesel and Armani have the power to electrify any monochromatic look. Tissot? Got to save some to have one :)

Pssst!  Aging doesn’t have to hit us like uuumm…what ~~ a runaway train! There are nifty ways to look our best. Let’s keep aglow when we’re on the go.  I tone and moisturize my skin before applying make-up and after cleansing at night. "Celebrate our differences and find pride in our uniqueness."

We could light up our skin that seems lit-from-within. There are beauty essentials that we have to have. Choose the right color for your skin tone and you’ll surely have glowing faces!  Chanel Double Perfection Makeup and SK Compact Powder are good in every season. I also adore Bobby Brown’s long-wear gel eyeliner. Mac products are yum, too! I use its Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15, Spice Lip Pencil and Viva Glam Matte Lipstick. My lip gloss is always there with me.

I use a lot of silver!  I find Morellato’s and Swatch blings creative craftmanship in their pieces. They are definitely frugal finds for under $100.

Sweet sweet fragrances…. I guess every girl on this planet loves perfumes. My favorite ~~~ D&G’s Light Blue, Issey Miyake’s L’eau D’ Issey and Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea….. I call them….. my personal notes :)

I’m addicted to buying plain shirts and jeans. I also get myself a pair of shoes or peep-toe pumps whenever there’s something extra in the budget :) Well, slingbacks and suede flats are adorable, too. I love movies. DVD’s ? They’re in my list, too. Some of my favorites are Pretty Woman, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Dave, Braveheart and T2. I’ve seen them too many times to count………. I have so much more to share………… How ’bout you?

I believe in Pampering our skin like you do Rich, I stick to my own brands when it comes to cosmetics and likewise i equally give importance too to cleansing, toning, moisturizing and facial esthe…make-up adds beauty and essence to our face but it can be harmful too if not tolerate w/ proper skin care…We shouldn’t let stress, work and busy homechores and task take that time fr. us wherein we can treat our skin and revitalize it so as not to look losyang, diba?! i’m strict after a long day with my make-up on ..i can’t hardly wait to go home and cleanse it…once in a while i treat myself too with facial masks and massages. Bags and purses, you name it pal..i think most of us gurls love it!…it’s part of being ‘KIKAY’ hihihi~! I personally love GUCCI, Courreges, FENDI and Christian Dior Purses! for casual i’m addicted too to Pinky & Dianne; Junko Koshino and GUESS and Sonia Rykiel brands!!! and another thing we have in common Ching-guya is our love for silvers! i prefer Silvers, whitegold,and Platinum, over GOLD…they look more classy and elegant to me compared to GOLDS! ‘have this mania for Tiffany silvers for years now…I’ll probably start taking pictures of my Kikay stuffs and write a post about it pal! i think this is really fun like you said…
    Thanks for sharing us your friends here, all that GURLIE indulgence and kikay side of yours Richelle!!! And yes, keep on being a versatile, lovely, wholesome, multi-tasker, loving woman that you are Ching-guya! and need i say more?! heheheh! You are simply Amazing and Beautiful!!!

    richelle, ngayon lang ako naka post! i was having problem with friendster for a long time. anyways, you’re a girlie-girl talaga and i’d rate you 110% !!! we have so many things in common. i have a perfumery collection and among my favorites are Neiges by Lise Watier and i just recently purchased me Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom Perfume. Nieges has become my signature smell. my friends can tell if i am coming cause they can smell me daw 10 miles away from their homes, lol! these scents are to die-for, rich! i am their walking-advertisement. i tell all my friends to buy them. in the 80’s and 90’s i used to collect SWATCHES. but as i grow older, i am becoming laid back when it comes to my watches. 5 years ago, i got me this Omega Constellation and i have not bought any more watches since then. it looks like i have found the watch that i will keep and use until i grow 80!

    Just got time to sit and read……It took me too long also to concentrate.

    My God, what alovely collection. Now that my girls are here, I stop my addiction, sort of. Last time, whenever I work straight, I got to buy a GIFT for my self But now I have to make sure I could provide the needs of my girls. My priority, plus our bills and etcetera.

    How I wish that they too could stand on their own feet and start life with their own and I could rest with my white moneky.
