Curbside Stories

Photo from Gucci . I admit, I liked Gucci's S/S 2011 Collection the very first time I saw it. I like the bright colors and details of each piece that complements other pieces of the entire collection. Everybody loves Gucci , even Hollywood stars can agree to me that Gucci is one of the most coveted brands of the season. Elizabeth and James needs to be applauded for making gorgeous sandals at reasonable prices. I am not wondering why Marc Jacobs was hired by Louis Vuitton . He just creates the most beautiful things in the world like the braided 'Ossie' bag that I am wanting to have this season.

United Nude has some awesome wedge sandals for Spring... I could not wait to get my hands (feet) on them. A few weeks time and it is already Summer (here) so I will temporarily say goodbye to my jackets and cardigans. Buying jacket in Summer is not prohibited so I still have an excuse if I will buy a Burberry jacket that is not so fond of receiving hugs... that is, if I have the budget. Owning an Hermes satchel would be tantamount to asking for world peace so I will just probably have an almost similar design from other bag designers. Katy Perry probably is  applying  to become Victoria's Secret Angel so she wore angel wings during the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.

Ho! Ho! Ho!  It's 29 days before Christmas and you better load up and stock up on gifts for your loved ones.  Found these items at Anthropologie that are so cute... you would think twice about giving them as gifts after buying them.

I am such an avid fan of the Oprah Show.  I wish that I could watch her live but it is just me dreaming.  I was saddened by the news that the show will come to an end soon.  Of all her episodes, it is Oprah's Favorite Things that I really love watching.  I get a happy headache after watching the episode.  I could just imagine taking all those wonderful items for free.  I believe the most expensive thing she has ever given on the episode was an LG refrigerator with built-in television.  How cool is that? The network decided to postpone their 2009 Favorite Things episode because of the recession.  I think it's a wise thing to do.  Now, a year after that, she gave away really really cool items for her live audience.  Here are some of those amazing items. A Philip Stein diamond watch worth $2,475. Tory Burch tote worth $250 and Tory Burch 'Reva Ballerina' flat worth $195. Nikon D3100 digital SLR camera worth $700. Cashmere sweater an...

I admit to collecting bags when I was still economically capable of buying 'expensive' ones... that was like two years ago.  My means to finally get out of the habit of compulsive bag buying was to purge most of the bags.  It was a heart breaking experience but I survived the ordeal... I am still here, purchasing shoes to compensate for the loss.  Defending starts here: At least I can wear those shoes everyday in the office.  Continuing, I am sticking to one big bag that my friend gave me last Christmas.  I was actually the one who chose the color.  Oh, I almost forgot about the Hermes Birkin Bag in the picture ... it is up for grabs on eBay and the current price is $77,999.  Gasp!  That is around 3 million pesos!  This limited edition Birkin is made of crocodile skin, 5.72 carats of diamonds and 18 carat white gold details.  I am still gasping for air!   Do I sense a certain woman named Victoria clicking on this link right ...

It is Valentine's Day on Sunday and our office will have a pre-Valentine's Party on the 12th (tomorrow!).  Everyone should wear anything red tomorrow, be it pants, top, accessory or undergarment .  I freaked out a little because I only have two red things in my closet and I've worn one last week... that means I am left with only one and I could not definitely wear it tomorrow.  Maybe later I'll have an emergency shopping and I am thinking of buying a red shoe.  Argh! Whatever! I hate last minute shopping! For all of you out there here are some red items that will help you survive V-day in style. Red satin one-shoulder dress from Badgley Mischka Platinum Label, $795 $477 at Bluefly .   Black Halo 'Jackie' belted minidress , $361 at Nordstrom .   Kalliste red pumps , $189.89 at Yoox .   Michael by Michael Kors 'Fulton' sandals , $98 at Zappos .   Heart Lock hinged wallet , $11.99 at Tilly's .   Jessica McClintock sequins and satin ...

Do you remember my previous entry about Louis Vuitton's Urban Satchel Bag???  If you don't, click here and go back to this entry after reading it. Louis Vuitton has launched the bag that used to contain all the trash that was put on to the Urban Satchel Bag.  Yep, you guessed it right... the actual trash bag. Behold for the coming of LV Raindrop Besace Shoulder Bag !  It is not purposely made in leather to reiterate the utilitarianism thing going on, instead a raincoat material is used.  At $1,960 (Available in two colors, thank heavens!) you can own this trash bag to safely store your trash... you will never have to worry about having your trash err things wet when it rains... you can call it trash' in style?!  If your mom asks you to put the garbage bag out of the house and you don't want your crush to see you doing the dirty task... instead of the black trash bag, use this LV bag and you are throwing trash in style in no time!   The bag debuted...
