"the future's so bright.. i gotta wear.."

It's the new year and in need of new specs.. not having the perfect vision sure has its inconvenient moments.  But why stop at looking through boring specs?  When lack of inspiration sets in, I look to the House of Tom Ford for the fail-proof answer.

winterizing my skincare

My skin inevitably changes with the season.  I go from combination-oily in the summers, and then normal-to-dry, even parched in the winters.  To top it off, I have sensitive skin that can go haywire with certain ingredients.  I make it a point to make a few adjustments to my skincare seasonally to keep my skin happy.

This winter, I decided to give Pai Skincare a spin.  All their products are "formulated with sensitive and allergy-prone skin in mind".  I went ahead and ordered the Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil, Kukui & Jojoba Skin Brightening Exfoliator, and the popular Camellia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser.  

I have only been using these products for about a week and I must say I am quite pleased so far.  I will post reviews on each product given sufficient time of trial and usage.

there you are.

Well, there he is.. and as the saying goes.. Change is Inevitable, Change is Constant.  And there goes Chanel with its choice of the opposite gender for its ultra femme scent, No.5.  I have mixed feelings about this change.  I have worn this scent, and although I tip-toed around the thought of my kids telling me I smell like grandma, I have also indulged myself in reverie of a young Marilyn Monroe, wearing nothing but a drop of No.5 to bed.  So do I evoke the scent of a bombshell or of granny crocheting doilies?

Well I guess if I were standing to the sexiest man alive, I'd be called Norma Jean.

Watching the video, I initially was in awe. There was a little jaw-drop action.  Then a raised brow.  Then a smirk.  Enough said.

glamour purse

It's taupe.. it's gray.. it's brown.. well it's all of the above.  I may even add purple to the mix.  Essie Glamour Purse is a great neutral color for fall.  

inevitable encounters : chanel and the sexiest man alive

Capping off my 3-day weekend today.. lots of senseless web browsing and lounging around. Even getting excited over a teaser that may either make a genius out of the House of Chanel or just may have us all chanting in unison.. Whyyy?






But the one thing I do love is this ode to No. 5 and the introduction of its new face.. of the opposite gender.. for the first time.
