Who knew so much beauty could come from animal secretions? These Indian Bangles are made from Lac, an animal secretion that becomes a resin when it hardens. It comes from the Indian insect named Kerria lac Kerr not visible with the naked eye. It is non toxic. It is also pliable when heated so it is easily formed into these magnificent looking bangles which would complement any attire.
Here’s one of my precious finds on Multiply, a Nine West Paisley Hobo Bag with a Leather Strap and lots of details. 
Here are some Custo Barcelona Sellers in Multiply:
I’ll be adding more to this list soon!
I’ve been happy with most of the Multiply sellers I have dealt with. And to show my appreciation I have added them to list of Trusted Multiply Sellers. I have also featured some of them here and I plan to feature more of them soon.
But I’ve had a recent encounter with a seller whom I wouldn’t name or link because I don’t want to. The seller was arrogant, and wasn’t nice at all.
I contacted the seller via SMS because he/she told me to do so. This was our initial exchange:
(Thursday evening)
Ria: Hi! I would like reserve 1 (item name) to be shipped to Davao City. I will be paying via GCash, is that ok with you?
Seller: Name please? Ok dear. ALL shipping will be done on Monday. Ok? PhP300 + 80.
Ria: I’m Ria. Will it fit (my size)?
Seller: Yup, one size fits all. Name please? Reserved one for you…
Ria: Maria A. Jose. What’s your GCash details please?
Seller: (Name, Address, GCash number)
Then, I immediately sent my payment.
I bought a Suesh 5 piece Make-Up Brushes Set from Dream Collection. And I wasn’t disappointed at all. Initially, I was turned off by the price, but it was definitely worth it. The brush is sooo soft, and it doesn’t irritate my otherwise sensitive skin. The excess powder also doesn’t stick to the brush so it’s always clean and the colors don’t mix.
Long before Multiply Sellers went on a Custo Barcelona Bags frenzy, I bought mine from a friend here in Davao City. I bought one that wasn’t so fashionable in shape, but with a nice print. I was thinking of using it to carry stuff for overnight trips rather than to use daily for work, or at evening for night outs.
Fun, flirty, flowing, flimsy… those words came to mind when I saw Monique Lhuillier’s Spring 2008 Collection. Feast your eyes on the refreshing colors, of spring…
AJ has just started his series of Practical Fashion Tips. It’s mostly for gay men, but most, like the first one, can also be used by straight males, females, bis, lesbos, etc. His first tip is how to wear an un-ironed dress shirt without looking like a slob.
Ever since I laid eyes on Crumpler bags, I’ve wanted one for my laptop. And the Cheesytina is what I want. It has waterproof lining, an adjustable strap with a matching shoulder pad. Its laptop compartment is padded, and it comes with a removable laptop sleeve. Nice, right? Even if I exhibit my eternal clumsiness, I’m sure my beloved laptop will be safe. It comes in four color combinations: Black/Off White/Dark Brown, Oatmeal/Orange, Washed Dark Grey/Olive/Off White, and Bordeaux Red/Silver/Off White. It is big enough to fit laptops with 12″, 13″ 14”, 15” and 15” wide screens. The Cheesytina costs €120.
In the following days you will see me update my shopping blog more as I tell you tales from my online shopping experiences these past few weeks. It has been addicting. Somebody stop me!
I have already bought some shirts, and a bag. I am thinking of buying shoes and some accessories. But to manage my expenses, I have decided to delay these purchases and schedule them on the weeks that I will be getting my salary.
