Dark + Denim

I love Christmas. I love everything about it. I love the scent of it. I love the aura it brings. I love the merriment that sparks as December begins. I love how it just magically brings everyone together.

Another thing that I really, really love about Christmas is the fact that I get a whole lot richer--in cash or in gift checks. :) HEEHEE! (Thanks, family! *kisses*)

I haven't shopped in months (would you believe it?!), so yesterday I decided to gift myself with the ultimate shopping spree before the year ends. And this decision immediately made us head to--where else--Forever 21 for the ultimate cash blowing bonding session! :)

This is what I wore to the mall. I opted to just wear a maxi dress so it wouldn't be that much of a hassle changing clothes. I just added the vest for extra-porma effect. :)

Dress Bangkok | Denim vest Forever 21 | Bag White Calf | Bracelets Indies | Sandals Chocolate Schu Bar | Shades Aldo (for men)

Lipstick Revlon Colorburst in Chocolate | Haircolor Azta Urban Salon (Pioneer Branch)

I am extremely happy with all the clothes I bought! :) Forever 21 will always be my go-to shopping heaven. :) I cannot wait to experiment with my new buys and stuff that I already own!!! I missed dressing up, taking outfit shots, and blogging so much, so don't be surprised if for the coming days there's always something new posted here! ;)

End the year right ladies, do something that will make you feel good about your bodies. ♥

Plump love,
Stacy

A Very Yahoo! Christmas

HELLO LOVELIES!!! :)

Okay, I'll skip the unnecessary apologies for being on hiatus for quite some time. I don't wanna dwell on that, and I'm over beating myself up for not making time for my first love--blogging!

Good news is, WE'RE BACK!!! And we've definitely not forgotten about you or this blog! Never have, and never will! *smooch*

The past December 16th, Yahoo! Philippines decided to have an omg! themed Christmas party at The Manila Peninsula, where all the employees had to be in a recognizable Hollywood costume. Guess who I went as? ;)

Top Ukay Ukay | Skirt Merlene Marcello Couture | Thigh high socks (originally stockings that I just cut) H&M |  Nude pumps Forever 21 | Accessories Tutti Frutti

I went as Rihanna (NOT Nicki Minaj), dressed up in an outfit inspired by one of her looks in her Only Girl In The World music video! :)

I got Rihanna-fied by one of the best makeup artists I know, my dear friend Kaycee Anne Lim. Here's a close up of her awesome job! She did everything--from hair to makeup to the turning my skin evenly brown with body paint! She even "erased" my eyebrows and made it thinner to be similar to Rihanna's brows! The works! :)

And thanks to her mad skillz, I won Best in Costume, together with the group who went as Jabbawockeez and my office mate who went as a Na'vi from the movie Avatar! CAREER KUNG CAREER! :))

Spot Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj!

It was a Yahoo! Christmas party indeed! :)

So how have your holidays been so far? We really missed interacting and hearing from our dear followers and supporters! We really do! :( Danah and I have just been enjoying the holidays the past couple of days, relaxing at home with the family or out bonding with great company (over great food, of course!). :) We sincerely hope you all are enjoying the season! And please, don't worry about the holiday weight. It's almost mandatory that we relish all the good food and bask in the happy vibes brought in effortlessly by December! :)

We really hope that you keep on supporting us despite the minor breaks in blogging. 2012 is definitely gonna be a BIG year (pun intended) and you wouldn't want to miss out on all of our awesome surprises in store for you! And of course, MORE OUTFIT POSTS! Thanks, sexies! :)


Happy holidays,
Stacy

Have a BIG, grand Christmas, plumpies! :)

'Tis the season to gain MORE weight! :) A lot of people we know have been fretting already because we all know that Christmas season is the most fattening of them all--starting on the 25th of December (actually, not even. We all have been stuffed in one of those pre-Christmas Christmas parties!) up to the first week of January-- and in between those days are the most gluttonous celebrations ever!

But before the It's-Okay-To-Gain-Weight,-It's-Christmas! pep talk, we'd like to ask...

Have you found Christmas? :)

Every year, adults dread this season because to them it's all about the stressful Christmas shopping that they have to squeeze in on their tight and busy schedule. On the other hand, kids become angels when December comes, as a quid pro quo for the all the gifts they will be getting. But what is Christmas without all the typical and superficial elements we've associated with it? Will Christmas still be the same to you without the grand feasts, the ang paos from godparents, and the gifts from relatives?

If you genuinely know the true meaning of Christmas, then your answer is probably yes. But if you can't picture Christmas being the same happy and amiable celebration without the luxurious meal and the material presents, then let's be reminded of what we're really celebrating and rejoicing for when Halloween's over and done, and the weather gets chilly and cozy.

Let's remember how God brought light to the world. ♥ Let's remember how God's unconditional love saved humanity, through His one and only son, Jesus. :)

HAVE A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS SEXIES! :) And don't worry about your clothes reducing its size every time the calendar turns to page December. We can always blame the washing machine for that! XD But seriously, this season only comes once a year, so just revel in eating! Dieting and suppressing yourself from all the good (NOTE: REALLY GOOOOOOOOOD) food during this holiday season is like going to your favorite store and swearing you won't buy anything while being conscious that you do have a pocketful of money. IT'S JUST PURE TORTURE!

So on the night of Noche Buena, rid yourself from all the guilt. And go ahead, get yourself another plate. ;)

Again, Merry Christmas! :*
