After showing you ladies Under $100 Holiday Cocktail Dresses, as well as Under $50 Holiday Dresses, AND the Under $100 Holiday Looks Guide, I shopped for myself. I have to take care of myself too, you know? . I bought this Suzi Chin twist front charmeuse dress from Smart Bargains on sale for $79.99.
More info after the jump….

I wore my ruffled tiered top this past Thanksgiving. We had our own intimate dinner at our house where I cooked everything by the way. Even if we were just in our house, that doesn’t stop me (or the family) from looking nice for the Holidays. Interestingly enough, I was going to wear the top 2 days before Thanksgiving when I had to go to Wal-Mart to pick up other stuff for the dinner. My husband looked at me that day and said, "Baby, that top is too pretty for Wal-Mart".  So I changed into a basic blue drawstring …read more

I bought this big sunnies at Wal-Mart last week. It was freaking $10. It costs more than any of my designer replica sunnies which I bought from flea markets for $6 each.. LOL.
And because I’m all for fairness, I figured I’d show you my Au Naturale look since I shared pictures of Celebrities with no makeup the other day. No foundation or loose powder, no mascara, and no lipcolor whatsoever. The only reason my bottom lip is pinkish is because I have a habit of biting it and I really need to stop doing that before my husband gets accused …read more

If last week weather was frigid cold which prompted me to bundle up, today is all windy. You should’ve heard the thunder this morning. I thought my roof was going to fall on top of me while I was fighting my darnest to leave the comfort of my bed. I was contemplating on calling my Channel Editors to let them know I can’t work today coz I’m afraid to turn my computer on. Good thing whatever bowling tournament they were doing up in heaven stopped, heh. Ok, breakdown of today’s Family Dinner outfit, yeah, I’m dressed too early. We’re meeting …read more

This Forever21 Priscilla Charcoal Gray Coat was a gift from my dear friend Star. December is my birthday month therefore my loved ones are showering me with gifts. First was the box of Victoria’s Secret Garden Lotion Coffre from the hubster, now this gorgeous grey jacket. Ahhhh. Am I spoiled or what?

When I saw this single strand long brown tones beaded necklace from my last CATO shopping spree where I bought a blue floral top and brown floral smoked tube top, I knew I had to have it and I knew exactly what to wear along with it. Like Sasha, I sometimes build my ensembles starting from a particular accessory. It’s so much fun, you should try it too sometimes . I wore my brown polka-dot wrap dress with a white skin tight cami underneath since I wore it for Church today. I had to keep the twins obscure …read more

Ok, so I said, even though this canvas red sneakers shoes from Sarah Jessica Parker’s BITTEN collection is an obvious knock off of Chuck Taylor’s yet I bought it because it’s less than $10, right? Well, I discovered why it’s so cheap. It’s cause the day you break this pair of sneakers in which I did when we went to finally watch Transformers movie this weekend and walked around Wal-Mart for some groceries and the Baby’s new pair of Mary Janes , my pinkies were burning. YUP! I was in pain walking in these damn shoes. So what?, …read more

For my second purchase of Sarah Jessica Parker’s BITTEN line from our stop at Steve and Barry’s in NY from our vacation last week, I decided on shoes. But it’s not what you think I’d buy though. Once again, BITTEN is boring to me. No offense to SJP but stamping it with “classic” doesn’t make a difference to me at all. But anyway, I saw a pair of espadrille wedge but it was ugly. Even my husband said so. There were flip-flops and I have to say they’re very affordable but I have enough flip-flops in my house that …read more

Well not quite. Almost but not totally BITTEN by Sarah Jessica Parker’s clothing line. I wasn’t really impressed by her collection even after Oprah glorified it in her show. Great prices but too drabby for my style. SJP calls it as classic, eh. That’s all I have to say. BUT, that didn’t stop me from buying some when we stopped at the Steve and Barry’s store in Utica NY on our drive home from our NY vacation. I spied from the corner of my eye the store on our drive to my in-laws’s house. I told my husband I wanted …read more

My family and I are leaving tomorrow for a 1 week vacation in Upstate NY. So I won’t be posting during those times. I could probably check e-mails using my mother-in-law’s computer but other than that I’m going to enjoy our vacation without internet. Well I will try anyway, . I hope you all miss me and my bargains. I originally thought of posting scheduled entries but I don’t feel right not responding to your comments right away and if I post any bargains today, by the time they’re posted, the sale is probably gone. So in …read more
