Belted Frock

BELTED FROCKSJessica Alba, Eva Mendes and Amy Adams give retro full-skirted, filmy dresses with skinny belts a modern twist with their sexy, undone 'dos and fabulous footwear. I can't really remember the last time I wear a belted frock. In fact, even just a frock - except summer dresses of course. But these are lovely especially Jessica Alba's. Makes me want to one day buy one, just those with slim belts. Okay, so much for looking at these...

White Lace

WHITE LACE DRESSES Anne Hathaway, Lauren Conrad and Nicole Kidman take the peekaboo fabric from sweet to utterly elegant. I thought, white lace are just apt for wedding or christening.

So much for my holidays - been shopping around for dresses and PS3, window shopping that is. *****It's All About What's...

My little boy is now fast asleep and snoring and I sort of miss him really today. We didn't have plenty of cuddle time as he was home late from picking up his uncle from the airport with his dad.

For the Face

For almost 4 years I've been changing face wash (not really something like acne wash) and moisturiser. I wasnt able to find the perfect brand for me. Then, I read that Jennifer Aniston is using the Neutrogena clear soap. I tried it and I didn't have any break-outs (except that special days of the month) so I can say that it's for me. I still havent' finished my Avene facial wash. I used them simultaneously, whatever is handy. As to moisturiser, I used Garnier and I'm into the second bottle.

We were at the shops this morning with Jens with me. Just doing a little bit of retail therapy. Jens was really talkative when we are the shops. We frequent it almost every weekend.

This lady then said to me "I have to tell you ma'am, your little boy talks really well. It's nice to listen to him talk. He'll do well in school." I have to say thank you several...
