This marks the first of a series of blog posts that features my favourites for the week. Enjoy!



1. Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria Matte Revolution Lipstick and Lip Cheat Iconic Nude

Lately I have been on a lipstick bing (will blog about it soon), and the latest lipstick loot I purchased were Charlotte Tilbury's Very Victoria Matte Revolution Lipstick and Lip Cheat (Liner) in Iconic Nude. I love the velvety smooth texture once I applied both on my lips. I must say that this one should be included in every woman's lipstick arsenal, for those days when you just want to have that muted elegance look.

I purchased mine via Instagram: Cebu Makeup Online

2. My Paris Kitchen by David Lebovitz

I finally got hold of this book! I've been wanting to have this book for the longest time (well, since it was first published), but was at first hesitant because I have purchased a lot of cookbooks in the past. My curiosity finally gave in, and so now I am happy as a clam. I have only read the Introduction and browsed through the pages (sorry I just received the book last night), but wow, I am loving it so far. Can't wait to try the recipes!

I purchased my copy online via National Bookstore.

3. Uniqlo IDLF Cashmere Crewneck Sweater

Are you also like me who can't get enough of Uniqlo's Ines de la Fressange line? If so, then you understand the excitement I felt when I found out of her latest collection. The pieces are obviously geared towards colder temperatures, but there are still a couple of pieces that are suitable to our warm climate. Take this beige cashmere crew neck sweater. Can't wait to wear this when I go to Tagaytay!

4. Zara Culotte Jeans

The culotte craze is here again, but unlike the past, the style today is somewhat more streamlined (not to flouncy). I have seen a lot of women wear this in basic black, so I was very happy to have chanced upon the jeans version in Zara. Just the right length and silhouette for me. Do check it out!

5. Givenchy Pepe Pandora Bag

This bag is in my Wishlist for some time now, but I haven't had the nerve to purchase one. I a loving the tan color, but perhaps I would wait for other colours to be available since this looks very close to the Alexa bag I have.Which reminds me... I should take that bag out this week!


6. Valentino Rockstud Pumps

Ahh, the very one that I would really really want to have soon. I have been wanting to get hold of the Valentino Rockstud shoes ever since the first version (flats) came out. Unfortunately, it was always sold out, until I gave up. Then the pumps came in. It's been years since I planned to get one, but until now I haven't gotten one. My sister even ended up purchasing one ahead of me! Why the hesitation? First, the color. I wanted the Italian Pop Grey for so long, but it seems it doesn't want to get owned by me. I have been waiting (until now), but so far, no notifications of its availability have ventured its way to my inbox. Second, the price tag. Ugh. Every time I decide to just get a neutral color (such as this lovely tan), I couldn't get myself to click that final button. Would've been easier if I was working (hahaha), but I think it really is just a matter of time before I do so. Until then, this remain's in my Wishlist.
