Fabulous Floor Length Prom Dresses

Many shoppers spend a great deal of time searching for the best prom dresses and when they find one that they think is perfect, it turns out that it costs so much. When you shop at Dress First, that kind of problem will not arise because all their items have incredibly low prices. Their wide selection of prom dresses assures all girls that there is something for everyone, whatever body type or preference you may have. Like for instance, you do not like showing off your legs then floor length prom dresses are what you should buy. I have taken note of some of them:

A-Line/Princess V-neck Floor-Length Chiffon Prom Dress, 157.99 USD - This dress in watermelon color is stunning. I love the neckline as well as the style and design. The sequins in the waist and neckline make the prom dress more elegant. The layered hemline is also pretty. However, women with big busts should refrain from wearing this because the ruffles will make your top look bigger.


Empire Sweetheart Floor-Length Satin Prom Dress, 190.99 USD - Vintage is what came to my mind the first time I saw this. It just has this old-Hollywood kind of vibe. It is very elegant and beautiful. The empire cut hides problem areas in the body while the hemline is perfect. I love the design especially the black sash around the waist.

Sheath Sweetheart Floor-Length Taffeta Tulle Prom Dress, 186.99 USD - This looks pricey in every way. The fabric (taffeta and tulle) along with all those embellishments - ruffle, beading, and sequins make the whole outfit classy. The bow at the side is cute. This sheath prom dress is available in many colors.

These floor length prom dresses are indeed spectacular. Nowhere else will you see these wide variety of gowns, only at Dress First.

Happiness in a Box for Bela

What’s inside the box?

Finally, we were able to pick up the drum set of Bela from Audiophile in Mall of Asia last Sunday. We reserved it last week and informed the shop that we will pick it up the following Saturday. But we decided to go to Subic so we were not able to drop by the shop.

Thankfully, we were able to go back to Manila the next day and so we were able to go to Mall of Asia to pick up the drum set. I called every branches of Audiophile and they are the only one who has the Imperial Star model in Vintage Red which is the color that Bela likes.

Now we are complete for the Christmas gifts for the kids.

For Her Birthday

Our daughter will be turning 7 years old in just 13 days and of course we want to give her something special for her special day. And while kids of her age would request for Barbie dolls, Lalaloopsy dolls, One Direction or Justin Bieber CDs and I even know some who would ask their moms to check 99perfume.com for bvlgari perfume, Bela would rather have this:
Meet Little Inu. She is an interactive dinosaur that eats, sleeps, and plays with her owner. She saw this in You Tube and got really excited, as she really loves animals. Her initial request for a birthday present was a pet dog chuaua so I am one happy mom when she chose this over a real dog (I know she can’t handle the responsibility of taking care of her own pet).

I already ordered it in Amazon last week and when I checked, it has already been shipped and is now in transit from Nevada. Hopefully we will receive it in time for her birthday.

2nd Batch of Orders: Dainty Ashley

It is obvious from my previous posts that I am in love with the hair trinkets from the Dainty Ashley shop. Who wouldn’t fall in love with it? Aside from the fact that it is very cute and stylish, it is also very affordable without sacrificing the quality as all hair accessories are meticulously done by the owner herself.

And because I am so hooked to it, I placed my second batch of orders already. Just look at the items that I am waiting on my mail for Bela: 





I actually ordered the Ella headband in light blue and purple but it is out of stock already. Now I know that if I like something from their online store, I should reserve it right away as stocks go fast.

Bela, a Dainty Ashley Model

Don’t you think Bela is just so cute wearing these cute headbands and clips:
These are hair trinkets from Dainty Ashley. The first batch of hair trinkets was a gift to Bela from her Tita Glo.
We immediately tried it on as soon we received the parcel and both Bela and I love it. That is why I got really addicted to these cute hand-made hair accessories made by my good friend Mai that I immediately placed my second order which arrived yesterday.
She just uploaded new designs and of course, Bela and I enjoyed browsing each of the pictures. In fact we have created a list already for our next order. I am just waiting for the cut off of my credit card so I can order again (looks like I will need a remote backup server to backup Bela’s pictures as I know that it will soon pile up as I just love taking photos of her wearing the Dainty Ashley hair accessories).

Check out Dainty Ashley on Facebook now to get quality and gorgeous headbands, clips and more for your little princesses.

Growing Girl

Thanks to gap coupons, I will be able to shop for new clothes for Bela.

You see, ever since I changed her vitamins from Cherifer to Restor Big as recommended by my good friend, Kelly, Bela’s appetite increased. She will drink milk when she wakes up in the morning and will eat rice or cornflakes for breakfast. She goes to school at 11 AM and she will eat her lunch again before going to school.

Because of this, she has really gained weight and almost all her clothes are already too small for her. Hubby kept on reminding me to shop for new clothes for Bela as there is really not enough clothes left in her drawer that still fits her. But since my budget is always short, I have been postponing shopping for her.

That is why I got really excited upon finding the coupon from Gap so I can finally start updating Bela’s wardrobe.

Bela's Xmas & NY Outfits from Baby Fashionistas

It has been my tradition that I shop for new clothes for all of us so we will have something new to wear for Christmas and New Year. I started looking for nice dresses for Bela at the shops in Robinson’s Place as early as late November but it is either there is no size available for Bela or I can’t find anything nice for Bela from their available items.

So I knew that Baby Fashionistas will be my last resort if I really want to find a nice dress for Bela. And Baby Fahsionistas did not fail me as I was able to buy three nice outfits for Bela that she can wear for her Christmas Party, for Christmas Day and for New Year. Just look at Bela wearing the good finds that I grab from Baby Fashionistas.

Finally done (& happy) w/ Bela's Christmas, NY & School Party Outfit. Nakakainis dami pa maganda sa Baby Fashionista. Wala ng budget. Need ko na mag pigil

I haven’t been to their store for months now and so I was not able to help myself and I even bought two pairs of nice shoes for Bela from their store as well. There is even one dress that I really like but I am really over my budget already. At least I have something to look forward to for our next visit at Baby Fashionistas.

2. Hubby’s God Children

Just look at their cool items:

All of them are so cute that I can’t decide which one to get. But I am sure, no matter what I end up ordering, the kids will love these cute and very useful items from Personal Creations.

Trip to Toys R’ Us

Bela is still jet lag on our day 2 in New York and to keep her awake, we decided to bring her to the biggest ever toy store, the Toys R’ Us in Times Square.

We left the house around 2 PM already as we sleep the whole morning as all of us are drogy from lack of sleep and the time difference. Bela fell asleep while we are riding the Subway on our way to Times Square but when we woke her up, she got her energy back upon seeing Toys R’ Us.


She actually knows what she wants already and so she went to the section of the Koobles toys and the cartridge for her Leapster. So now I have to buy new aaa rechargeable batteries so the battery of her leapster will be charged up as for sure Bela will spend lots of time playing with it during our flight.

I haven’t uploaded pictures yet taken by hubby but I will try to start tomorrow so I can share with you guys just how much our princess I having fun.

For Her Favorite Grand Dad

My dad is Bela’s designated driver/nanny during weekdays as my dad volunteered to take Bela to school everyday. No wonder they are so close as they are together everyday and that makes her a certified lolo’s girl.

That is why for Christmas, Bela wanted to get her grand dad something as her special gift. I was able to buy nice polos for my dad already but Bela insisted that she should have her own gift for her favorite grand father.

Thankfully I can order Swisher Sweets cigars online. It is just a few days before Christmas and I still have work (in fact I am working until the 24th of December) so I am sure I will not have time to go to the mall to do more shopping. But thanks to online shopping, I was able to finish my Christmas shopping list. I am just waiting for my items to be delivered and Bela and I will do the wrapping of the gifts tomorrow night.

How to Become a Smart Shopper

In today’s tough economy, every penny counts. It’s becoming harder to come in under budget each month, but there are steps you can take to alleviate your financial situation. One such way is to become a smart shopper. Don’t just buy something the moment you see it; take the time to do research and use the Internet to score amazing deals so you can have extra change in your pocket.

Shop with gift cards. One way you can save a few dollars every time you spend is to shop with gift cards when you can get them for less than their face value. PlasticJungle.com is a great place to purchase gift cards at a discount. Savings include everything from 11% off Macy’s gift cards to up to 9% off Starbucks gift cards. Be on the lookout for discounted gift cards from sites like Groupon.com or LivingSocial.com.

Additionally, see if your local grocery store offers money off of gas for every dollar you spend there. If your grocery store sells gift cards, you can simply buy enough gift cards for a purchase you’re planning on making, thus upping your discounts on gas.

Search for coupon codes. Before you buy anything online, search for coupon codes. Sites like RetailMeNot.com compile hundreds of coupon codes, and you can easily search for the ones you need. If you prefer to shop at the brick-and-mortar stores, you can also find hundreds of coupons online. Manufacturers will often post coupons online, and stores like Target offer many printable coupons on its site.

Before you buy your car, do your research. Buying a car is a big purchases. Read Consumer Reports, and research the average price of cars in your area with sites like TrueCar.com. Also check for deals on cars that aren’t in your area; sometimes it’s cheaper to buy a discounted car and have it shipped to you.

Clothing, Electronics, and More for Black Friday

There is so much hype over getting the perfect Christmas gift for everyone on your list. All the stores are gearing up for their Black Friday sales, and other, smaller sales leading up to Christmas. Even clothing stores are getting ready for the holiday rush. One thing to think about when heading out to the stores is whether or not you are really getting that great of a deal.

So many people rush to the biggest and best stores for Black Friday to get a great deal on items that they want to get for Christmas presents. Unfortunately, in the last few years, the deals have not been all that great. Sure, you can still get fantastic prices on things, but it's not like it used to be. Saving a few bucks here or there isn't really worth some of the risks of Black Friday. In fact, people have died because of the "great deals."

Today, many people are deciding to go online to find their deals. Sometimes you can get the same Black Friday deals online that you would in the store. Unfortunately, this also means that these stores will inevitably go out of stock quickly. Recently, the trend of Cyber Monday has also started. The Monday after Black Friday, many online stores will offer great deals. Again, you have to be quick, because these deals will go fast. However, the great thing about Cyber Monday is that you don't have to worry about pushing through crowds.

Whether you are buying clothing, electronics, toys, or other items, you can still find some good deals. Deciding whether the crowds are worth it is completely up to each person and their own sense of a good deal. No matter what you choose, happy deal hunting this year, and good luck getting the perfect present.

Taking Advantage of Holiday Sales

With the economy the way that it is everyone loves to save money whenever they can. No matter how much people avoid shopping there will always be a need for it. Whether it is shopping for a holiday, essential clothing items or just picking up items for a friend or family member, shopping will always be a part of a person's daily life. So how can a person shop and be able to save at the same time?

The secret to shopping and saving lies in the all important holiday sales. Holiday sales happen roughly every two to three weeks. It seems any little holiday calls for a sale. There are President's Day Sales, Valentine's Day Sales, Christmas Sales and Columbus Day Sales. In fact, if there is a holiday there is probably a sale going on.

These sales and all the ads that come along with them might annoy the average person but these sales can really come in handy for these people. Holiday sales are a chance for stores to get ride of old inventory and drive up their sales figures for the month. That is why these holiday sales happen so often. Even with the frequency of all the sales, a person can still save a ton of money if they are shopping in the right stores and at the right time.

Many of these stores have started new trends known as preview sales. These sales allow people to preview a sale and be able to see what is on sale and if the shopper needs it. The stores believe this will kick start a lot of sales and get those people buying.

Holiday sales are a great time to get essential items that you need, just be careful that you don't go so wild at these sales that you need to take out emergency cash loans to afford your regular bills.

Christmas Shopping

Now that Bela is five years old already, I am sure she will enjoy Christmas more this year as she is already more aware of what is going on around her. That is why I will make sure that she will have presents to distribute to our relatives and friends come Christmas for our family reunion and when we visit my in-laws on Christmas day.

Just look at some of the family christmas gift ideas that I saw on the net:

I am just busy with Bela’s party preparations but her party is already set for tomorrow and hopefully after tomorrow, I can start choosing and shopping for the gifts that Bela will give to our relatives and friends on Christmas.

Last year, she helped me wrapped all the gifts and she even personally write her name on each of the Christmas gift tags that I made. I am sure she will be as excited again this year as we wrap all our Christmas presents.

Black Friday Sale

I really hate it and the timing is so bad because I have no Internet connection during the weekend. And this weekend is really very important as for sure, a number of online sites had their Labor Day sale.

I received an email from Old Navy, which is my favorite shopping site for clothes for my kids and since I had no Internet connection I missed the sale. But maybe it is still a blessing in disguise since I know that it is really better to shop during Black Friday sale as the discounts are bigger compared to other sales. I know that most of my friends are already waiting for this sale and they are already making their wish list as they were really happy with their Black Friday shopping last time. The prices were really a steal that it is almost getting the item for free.

So I guess I should be thankful instead that I don’t have Internet connection during the Labor Day weekend because for sure I will not be able to control myself and I will surely end up shopping for my kids again even if I am on a tight budget this month.

So what I should do now is start saving up and start making my wish list for the Black Friday sale.

For Her Discriminating Taste

At her very young age, Bela is already the one deciding which clothes she will wear, what brand of shoes she will buy, what style she wants for her blouse, etc. That is why as early as now, I can see that Bela will be a fashionable and trend conscious woman.

I am sure when she is already working and she can already buy jewelries and timepieces on her own, she will not think twice in buying one of the world’s finest timepieces, the luxurious, elegant and fashionable IWC Watches.

You can buy IWC Watches from Lussori which is located on Main Street in downtown Los Altos, CA. They have been in the business of selling the world’s finest watches and jewelries for over ten years now. Aside from IWC watches they also sell other brands like Dior, Chopard, Hermes, Blancpain to name just a few which I am sure will pass the discriminating taste of my daughter.

I Want Chicken Noodle Soup

I need to look for an insurance company that offers motorhome insurance for the RV of a friend as I heard these types of insurance are better than ordinary auto insurance but I am not having a good day today. So as my stress reliever, I am doing some window shopping again.

Bela is always requesting for chicken noodle soup for her snack at school. I think she saw one of her classmates eating it during their snack time at school and you know how kids are, they sometimes imitate what they see from their other friends. And chicken noodle soup is Bela’s one of her favorite snack too so I told her that I have to buy a sealed container first for her soup and something that will keep her soup hot for hours, and so I thought of buying this, Funtainer Food Jar:

I showed it to Bela and she is so excited about it also as it has a Littlest Petshop design. This food jar comes with a Free Super Saver shipping but I need $10 more before I can avail of this promo. I wonder what else I can order.
