POLKA DOTS ARE A LA MODE

Let's play a little mind game, ready?

CLUE #1: Think of a playful pattern that always pops up in every designer's collection.
CLUE #2: Designers like Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Furstenberg and others find it hard to avoid this pattern last fall fashion.
CLUE #3: This pattern consists of an array of filled circles equally sized and equally spaced closely in relation with their diameters.

Quick! Can you guess now? Yep, I'm talking about polka dots.

Polka dots are usually in red, blue, black and white. It is believed that their name is derived from polka music that became popular in Britain in the late 1900's.

This pattern of circles or dots were popular for men in the past. Today it is not as common to see men wearing a shirt with this playful patter unless you are a musician or performing onstage. But I always believe that I am a rockstar, and with my barrier-breaking mentality and flair for style and individuality, wearing polka dots is a great alternative for my usual basic wardrove. Remember that fashion can help us underline our individuality and dots are the easiest way to make a fashion statement as they go with everything and come in a variety of sizes and colors. They bring a lot of fun to an outfit making all the difference and taking any outfit out of the simple zone towards sophistication.They are a classic in the fashion industry making a constant comeback so why not give them a try and make your outfit scream for attention.

ADD (ANOTHER DATING DISASTER) SAVED BY BARGAIN HUNTING

It is always a gamble how a date is going to turn out. You will never know if that someone is the perfect one, without taking the plunge. So, I've decided this afternoon to take the plunge and thank goodness for ADD (Another Dating Disaster.) After being honest about my feelings, I cut the date short and tried to be courteous in telling that I truly appreciate the effort and time to lessen the blow, somehow. To free myself of guilt and stress, I   continue my Wednesday afternoon hunting for bargains. I am a firm believer in retail therapy, and have been dealing with quite a lot lately and decided to treat myself to a much needed spree. I can't help but share the joy of these items, LOL.

I guess the old people's saying is true after all - "Sometimes even if you are not sure of your direction you can find your way to something wonderful."

MONDAY NIGHT ADVENTURE WITH FRIENDS

If you have been following my blog, you already have an idea that I'm such a sucker for bargain shopping and good finds hunting. Couple it with great company of hilarious friends and a good Filipino cuisine and I'm on a treat made in heaven. Take a peek into my Monday night adventure with friends.

Fashion trends may go out of style but true friendship shall always remain in vogue, that's why forming and nurturing a strong bond with someone, male or female, is an invaluable component of life. You know the saying, when you find true love, hold on to it?  Writing off half the population is not conducive to this. If someone can predict what you are going to say or do in a given situation and it is spot on, that is love.  If someone can point out you’re behaving like a raving lunatic and you need to check yourself and you accept their advice and follow it. That. Is. Love. If someone can tell you their opposing view or opinion on your personal situation and you consider it as an option, that is true love.  My friends and I are as thick as thieves. Bottom line, "When you find true friends, hold on to it."
