Mondays.

It's one of those nights where all I want to do is cuddle with my James Dean pillow and listen to John Mayer sing me to sleep.

Since that isn't happening anytime soon, what with my tiny adorable daughter snoring like a giant next to me and "Game of Thrones" practically begging to finally be watched, here's a quick outfit post instead.

Wore this during our "Now You See Me" movie date at Alabang Town Center. Good movie.

Spiritual beads are the perfect accessories for someone of faith. Usually, they are made by the wearer; but why make one when you can buy one, right? :p

Our Mondays are made for movies. <3

GIVEAWAY ALERT: Les Miserables DVDs

I had a shoot for Madhouse MNL recently, which was all about transformation and, after re-watching "Les Miserables" last night, I couldn't help but notice how much of it could actually be applied to my "life story".

Like Fantine, there was a time where I was head over heels in love with a boy and imagined our whole future together. I also give my all - though naturally through the same extremes - to ensure that my daughter has a bright future.

Unlike her, though, my faith in God was more like Jean Valjean's, in that it never wavered and I never gave up nor questioned his motives for my future.

Of course, as of this moment, I am also hoping to get Cosette's happily ever after ending. :p

If you are reading this, then your life prolly isn't even close to how miserable the people's lives are in "Les Miserables". But if you watch it again and pay closer attention to the bigger picture, you are sure to be able to relate to at least one of the characters in at least one point in your life.

If you haven't seen "Les Miserables" yet or simply want to be able to re-watch it over and over again the way that I do, then today is your lucky day coz I am giving away 3 copies of the "Les Miserables" original DVD. :D

Here's how you can join:

By the way, if you haven't read my "Les Miserables" review yet, then you can check it out here.

Anyway, as mentioned earlier, I re-watched "Les Miserables" myself last night and all of those depressed feelings that I had from when I watched it in the cinemas came flooding back. The sounds and the visuals are just as great as when I saw them on the big screen, as well.

The only difference is that I had a bigger supply of tissues here at home and a big pillow to hug. Definitely my preferred way of watching this kind of movie! :)

Suiteblanco: Fresh. Urban. Chic.

A few weeks ago, I was invited to the launch of Suiteblanco in SM Aura Premier Shopping Mall, The Fort, where I was finally able to catch up with one of my bestest friends while checking out the store, shopping and watching hot ladies strut Suiteblanco's collections down the runaway.

Suiteblanco happens to be one of the most prominent fashion companies in Spain and is constantly growing in the international market. I practically fell in love with the clothes - and the prices - at first sight, so I am so happy that they have finally opened in Manila!

Here are some of their items that I feel every woman should have in her wardrobe:

You can never go wrong with white pants!

Teeny tiny pieces of clothing are for feeling-sexy days! :)

On the flip side, loose tops and comfortable jeans for casual days.

Pretty accessories to jazz up basic clothes.

The ultimate basics.

And, of course, feminine, frilly and girly items for all. :)

As you can see, Suiteblanco aims to please young women with a chic and cosmopolitan spirit. What I especially love are their leggings and sunglasses, though. I wish I had taken photos. You should definitely check out the store and see them for yourself! :)
