California Sunshine by styleloca featuring helen kaminski handbags

An outfit inspired by the song California Girls - Katy Perry.

SCORE!!

You how much I love a bargain right? Well, who doesn't??

Anyway, last friday I went to the store to check on my new arrivals and also to scout for nice shoes. I've been craving for new shoes since the start of Feb but never really got the chance to buy one.

As i was looking around the brands that I handle, our Inventory Specialist suddenly blurted out that the shoe that i have been eyeing on is still there and that the customer who reserved it never claimed them. So you can imagine the shock on my face when I heard her say that. :D

I told her to bring it out so I could try them on. Lo and behold, it fits me. Okay, okay, it's a bit snug but what the heck! I checked on the price and saw that it was on super sale! From Php 13,500, it went down to Php 2,000!! Right there and then I said "I'll take it!!".

But there's more.. When the cashier punched the code in the system, guess what?? It was marked down to a whopping Php 1,350!!!! STEAL!!! The smile on my face was priceless. :) These are just some of the perks when you work in Retail.

So without further ado.. I present you my lovely L.A.M.B. Gracianna Patent Platforms. :)

I'm in love. :)

Toodles!

Hello!

Okay, i won't explain anymore why i have been "absent" from the blogging world. I apologize. Moving forward.

It's 2011! Maybe this is my year? Or should I say that I'm making this MY year!? :D

Anyhoo, lookie what I got from my Aunt! It's really nice and maybe too nice that I don't even want to use it! Gaah.

It has 30 shades of eyeshadow, 15 lovely shades of lipstick and blush! Yey!

Now, i gotta practice my make up skills! Anyone want to teach me?

Stila Color Pallete




I'll keep this short. I gotta run!

Toodles!

Day 4: A habit I wish I didnt have.

SMOKING.

Well, i'm not really a chain smoker. I only smoke once a day then on nights out. I can say that its easy to quit and let go of smoking. But the problem comes when everyone you know and hang out with smoke cigarettes. Its not even peer pressure, its the thought that i'd rather smoke than die of second hand smoking. Hehe! Yeah yeah excuses! :p

Don't worry my time will come. I will stop smoking eventually. Probably till the end of the year. Deal? Deal!

Gonna hit the sack early tonight. It was a long day!

Toodles!

Day 3: Picture(s) with friends.

Here's the deal, I have like 3-4 sets of barkadas but they're kinda connected and intertwined somehow and yeah I love every single one of them. They're a handful but they keep me sane. I make sure to always have friend time every weekend cause I think that's healthy and they ease the stress from a week of work.

So posting just 1 photo with friends will do them injustice.

Are you ready?? This is going to be one hell of a post full of photos. Step back and relax.

Last nights friend time:

REPUBLIQ

Superfriends (College)

BATIBOT (Highschool)

THUGLORDS (Highschool)

MENGGS (Highschool)

As i have said, all of them are intertwined and they all know each other. But still they are separate groups of friends?! Gaaah. Its hard to explain! Here's a summary of photos with everyone in it!
Enjoy!





Was that confusing or what?? Forgive me. My friends are as crazy as I am.

Off to the Mall now! Must restrain myself from shopping.

Toodles!

P.S.
Here's what I wore last night to Republiq.
I came from work and had no idea that we were gonna go clubbing hence the conservative look. Was wearing flats, good thing my friend Gracey lend me some sky high shoesies.

Black Gladiator heels + Red Wine Lipstick = Ready for clubbin'

w/ my Posse' :p

Day 2: The Meaning Behind my Blog name.

Styleloca?? Wait, lemme refresh my memory. *thinking*

Oh now I remember! It was a year ago when I made this blog, I was still with SM back then and we were required to blog about our merchandise. It was our way of marketing our new items. It was the Kwakaduck (kwakaduck.blogspot.com) who came up with the blog name Styleloca. I didnt want to use my real name but I couldnt think of anything that would spell *EUREKA*. Then he figured that since I was a Fashion Stylist then why not incorporate the word STYLE and he just added LOCA cause I have crazy mood swings when it comes to my style. So there, thats how STYLELOCA was born.

Nothing super fancy or super creative about it but I like it. Its so me! :)

So there, now you know how STYLELOCA came about!

Anyway, here's what I wore today for work. It's been raining nonstop here in the P.I. so that only means one thing! I get to wear my boots! Hope it worked. Lemme know what you think!


Toodles for now! See you tomorrow!
