TOPAZ HORIZON

My family and I were invited to a shopping spree at Watsons! Now, my family's a fan of Watsons. Just go to this post on Topaz Mommy to see our usual hoard. So anyway, when we got that invitation to shop shop shop in June (I know, what a late post!), we said yes yes yes!

Over at my Facebook page, I've been promising to give this dress away to my readers for weeks now but I just haven't been able to do it because I have other things to do. I'm seriously considering not doing giveaways anymore unless it's sponsored (this is not a sponsored post) because it's so much work!

Can you smell a rant? Hehe. Sorry! Unlike everyone else, I no longer use Random.org nor do I use Rafflecopter for my contests. I now really go through each and every entry then I pick who I like best. What happened? Well, I gave away a fab shopping experience before Christmas last year and the winner was randomly picked. I announced it on the blog, on all my social media accounts... No response from the winner! That means the winner doesn't read my blog or follow me on social media! It was a fab gift. I wanted the winner to truly deserve it. I wanted a loyal reader to always win my giveaways. So now I check each entry! And it takes up so much of my time!

Rant over.

To win this fabulous Vania Romoff dress, simply ask your husband or boyfriend to post a couple photo over at my Facebook page. Say whut?! Yeah, I have to pick a guy to win this contest because I promised it.

Never make promises you can't keep so even if this is kinda silly, I'm doing it this way! I kinda like it, though. I'll get to see your guys! I love romance! And this sexy Vania Romoff dress is sure to add sizzle to your love affair!

UPDATE: The dress will fit an XS or an S. It's backless and almost waistless. You gotta be pretty tiny and wasp-waisted to slither into this baby.

So here are the mechanics:
1. Ask your guy to post a photo of you as a couple on my Facebook page. Note: Better if full body shot!
2. Tell him to type: "I want my girl [your name] to win this sexy Vania Romoff dress from @TopazHorizon because she is the hottest thing that ever walked this planet!"
3. Tag three of his friends.

That's it! I'll pick a winner by next Topaz Fashion!

Thanks, Nestlé Non-Fat Milk, for the dress for my lucky reader. Sana ako rin meron designer dress!!!

UPDATE: The winner of the super sexy Vania Romoff designer dress is Jet Meneses! Well, he won it for his gorgeous wife, Josephine.

Thanks for joining, Jet. And thank you for being such a fabulous hubby to Josephine. That white hot dress will make your wife look absolutely incredible! Send me a message via my Facebook page on how you can claim your prize.

I've met Marian Rivera several times and she's super mataray but super maganda talaga. Hindi naman ako galit sa kanya kasi kung ganun ako kaganda and ang daming nakatitig sa akin 24/7, siguro maiirita rin ako nang wagas.

I used to watch her show, yung waitress siya, Tweets for my Sweet ba yun? Anyway, she's really super funny! She has that rare gift of comedic timing. Madali lang mag-drama; mahirap mag comedy. Plus, she's one of those even rarer Pinoy celebs who support charities and help the less fortunate. So kahit na natatarayan ako kay Marian, sobrang respect naman ako sa ganda, compassion and talent niya.

So when I saw this trailer on my Facebook feed, I decided I wanted to watch this!



Marian's sooo pretty! Pati si Ai Ai delas Alas actually, maganda here. And their chemistry is perfect. I haven't watched a Pinoy movie in a long time (lack of time and interest) but Kung Fu Divas promises to be a hit! Who's watching???

I was at LeBunny Bleu's launch party yesterday and, boy, was it packed! I didn't realize that the shoe brand was that much of a fashionista favorite! Here's a few snaps from yesterday:

Patty Laurel hosted the event. She also babysat my baby stroller so I could shop. Thanks, Patty!

Patty with Michelle Chan and my friend, Zerline Chan Ortiz-Luiz, the stylish women who brought in LeBunny Bleu (and Quirks, too!)

Sorry, I forgot to bring my camera so I had to use my Blackberry. Sad. It's a good thing Le Bunny Bleu gave us photos of their super cute shoes! Here are just a few styles. There are a lot more. There's Oxfords, brogues, espadrilles, boat shoes and loafers, too.

The numbers on the photos aren't the prices, okay? I put the price in the captions. I'm sooo happy the shoes are reasonably priced!

Linda Heel, P2795

Angela Ballet Flat, P2795

Cotton Slip-On, P1995

Spring Tassel Slip-On, P2095

Vina Hadden Heel, P2795

And here's some style ideas:





The shoes are a bit too young for 36-year-old me but I did find a pair I liked. A two-tone black-and-white flat. It's quite nice! I'll debut it next week haha.

Shop at LeBunny Bleu this weekend! The flagship store is at 5/F Bridgeway of the East Wing of Shangri-la Plaza Mall. Next week, the Glorietta 5 branch opens!

I'm sooo happy for William and Kate!

A baby is such absolute joy. I knew I always said I never wanted kids but, boy, once you have one and fall in love with that angel (that love is crucial!), they are so addicting! I want more actually. Especially when I see new babies, I feel an ache in my gut and my arms. Baby fever!

Back to Baby Cambridge. NBC has a fabulous coverage series (click click!). Watching the news, watching William and Kate's happiness, I feel just as happy. They look so overwhelmed and yet casual, so giddy and yet cool, so tender and so proud. New parents in love!

I want to gush more but I'd rather watch the news on the Cambridge family today. Have a great love-filled day!
