I Heart Juicy Couture Bracelets

I love bracelets! That's why, it's no coincidence that my YM ID is bracelet. :)

Having said that, wouldn't I die if I get this bracelet from Juicy Couture?

Are Export Overruns a Threat to Ukay -ukay?

Every Sunday, one of the tiangge stalls in our Church (Holy Eucharist Parish, Armstrong Avenue, Moonwalk 1, Paranaque) area is one that sells export overruns.

These overruns are in good quality and the pieces above are only a hundred bucks each. :)

Just a thought: are export overruns a threat to ukay-ukay?

Shop Till You Drop

Tomorrow, Wizheart and I will watch Confessions of a Shopaholic at the Shangri-La Mall Cinema 2. Our two free tickets are sponsored by Ace Insurance through Citibank. Good thing, I was able to convince him to go watch this film. But I think he is more excited about the free tickets and that we'll be given some special treatment. ;)

I am a shopper. I love to shop. But I cannot imagine myself maxing out my credit card for that.

Who wouldn't want to shop til you drop? But I think shopping is something that we have to do with prudence. One of my BFFs used to say, "I wish for the day when I can shop without looking at the price tag!" And isn't there a line that says, "If you have to ask for the price, then you can't afford it." :-D

I envy those who can really shop till they drop. Well, I think most of us do that once a year---during Christmas time. That's why I love Christmas. It gives me a reason to shop!

My Feet Just Love Havaianas!

I thought I'd only have a pair. But once my feet had tasted the Havaianas, they couldn't seem to stop itching for more pairs (well, the brown one in the middle is actually Ipanema, my only pair).

A friend once said that for him to buy a pair of slippers worth almost or more than a thousand, something was wrong somewhere. I haven't asked this friend if he was ever tempted to get a pair to this day.

But for me, the Havaianas slippers may be a bit pricey, but the comfort and the oomph you get when you wear them is worth it!

I think I'd have more than four pairs of Havaianas if only my size always comes available in colors and designs. :) Oh, by the way, I also have the High green floral.

Havainas are available in the following outlets:
All Flip Flops in Glorietta 3, SM Mall of Asia, Boni High Street
Rustan's Makati

On a Final Note

As some of you may have noticed, we haven’t been blogging much lately.

We started blogging back in 2004, when we began college. We wanted a simple girly website where we can share our thoughts on fashion with other fashion lovers. We finally settled on blogspot, because we were both technically challenged and it was easy. It was really exciting at first. We religiously stalked our blog and our heart would skip a beat whenever we get a comment. It gave us a warm and fuzzy feeling each time.

We just graduated last summer and since then, we’ve been struggling to carry our blog into the ‘real world’ with us. When you’re a student, you’re surrounded by inspirations and you have all the time in the world to take it in and read up on the latest styles and celebrity trends. In the real world, you get so caught up with life that you barely have time to stop and admire your surroundings and be inspired and excited by it. Now don’t get us wrong, we still love to drool over gorgeous dresses and new bags and debate over the merits of the latest trends- just not as often anymore. Blogging started to become a chore instead of something we loved doing. That was when we knew that it was time to move on, even though it took us a few months of thinking and debating with ourselves and each other to realize it, and another few months overcoming self denial to act on it. It’s not easy to give up something we’ve been doing for the last four years, knowing that once we stop, there is no going back.

A little over 4 years ago, we had no idea what blogs were, and we certainly didn’t know fashion blogs will become such a big phenomenon. We didn’t really know where we were heading when we started I am Fashion, but it became something we loved. We considered taking I am Fashion further, developing it into something bigger as so many other fashion blogs have done. But alas, as hard as we racked our brains, we couldn’t come up with a vision of where it can go. And so, we've decided that it was time to make a graceful exit and let I am Fashion go.

We’d like to thank all the readers who have stuck with us throughout the last four years. It was your comments, emails and continued presence that have kept us going for so long. We’d also like to thank our guest blogger E, who has helped us immensely in the last few months through this difficult transition period. It’s been an unexpectedly rewarding experience, which will always have a special place in our hearts.

Find us at our NEW BLOGs:
