Women and Bags

mommyles — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 02:13:22 +0000

The woman’s eyes can be the windows to her soul. But if you really want to know more about her personality and secrets, you should look into her bag! Fashion experts would agree that the choice in color and type of bag can tell something a lot about women. Based on some reading materials, it says that a woman’s personality is actually revealed through her choice of bags.

Shoulder Bag – you are practical, but you still want to look good.
Tote Bag – you have a fun loving personality, modest but never submissive
Clutch Bag – shows confidence, you know exactly what you need and what you can live without
Under-the Shoulder Bag – implies class and sophistication
Bags with Buckles, Jewels and Zips – you want to show your wild side, ready to have a good time and fun to be around
Over-sized Bag – you are practical and down-to-earth, you want things to be easily at-hand.

In a way there could be some truth in relating women’s bag to their personality, but it all depends on the occasion. What about you, what type of bag do you often use?

Nail Art Kit

mommyles — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 04:22:05 +0000

I signed up in Hallo-Hallo Mall and was given 300pesos credit for me to use within 10 days. The prices of the products were quite affordable, but the shipping cost is quite expensive. Anywayz, after checking the website and deciding which product to purchase. I decided to get a nail art kit!

Every week whenever we visit MIL’s house, their stay-in canteen-helper-cum-additional-family-member named Sol gives me a pedicure. Lately, we’ve been experimenting on some nail art techniques. We have tried the “newspaper design” nail art and a lot more! So when I got what I ordered from Hallo-hallo mall, I was so excited to try it.

I was suppose to make nail art a lot easier and less messy too. Unfortunately, we were not able to get the desired results. Everyone of us tried to come up with a good design using the plates provided in the nail art kit. To our dismay,we were not able to use it. We followed the instructions, in fact even the two engineers (hubby and BIL) tried to find out how to get that beautiful nail art design on the template. Tough luck!

Good thing I didn’t pay a single centavo for this item, or else I will be whining and complaining until now. Anywayz, we had fun trying to discover new things together as a family, even if we were not able to use the nail art kit.

Fake Designer Handbags: Why You Should Not Buy One

Let’s face it, designer bags are expensive and only those with deep pockets can afford it. This is one of the reasons why a lot of women are tempted to buy replica or fake designer handbags. The cost is just a small fraction of the price of an authentic designer bag. But before giving in to the temptation, consider these things on why you should not buy fake designer handbags:

It is illegal to buy and sell fake items. To avoid further embarrassment, do not purchase fake designer handbags because it can be confiscated or worse you might even get arrested for patronizing fake products.
It does not offer the same quality as genuine designer handbags. These bags are made of sub-standard materials and often have poor craftsmanship. You might see crooked seams or missing stitches, definitely not worth your hard-earned money.
It will affect the economy because the manufacturers of the fake designer handbags do not pay taxes. Sellers of the counterfeit do not pay taxes too and everything is done “under the table”.

These are some of the reasons why you should not buy fake designer handbags. If your budget will not allow you to splurge on expensive bags, you can either wait until you have the money or opt for other brand of bags. What about you, do you buy replica handbags?

If you know the right kind of bag to carry that is proportioned to your body type, it may take some pounds off you. It does not matter if it is a designer bag or high-street bags, it is very important to know the perfect bag for your body type fashion. The secret is to hide the flaws and accentuate the best feature, so take note of these things if you want to look better while carrying your stylish bags:

For women who have big busts and shoulders, do not choose the short-handled bags that will finish around the bust area. It will only accentuate your large breasts and big shoulders.
For those with big hips, big belly or wide waist, choose the bag that will finish at the upper torso. It should be just about under the arm instead of around the middle. Your goal is to draw the attention away from wide hips and thick waist.
If you have a tall frame, do not use skinny-style bags. Choose a bag that will counterbalance your figure so go for something that is broad like the Hobo type of bags.
For women with small or short frame, choose something that is long and lanky. Your bag should provide height like the small saddle type of bags. Do not use oversized tote because it will make you look shorter.
