Ditch Me Baby -- or One More Time?

I know the title sounds funny.  But That's what immediately came to mind as I was looking through my file of pictures for my blog. I saw this old pic of what initially seemed like a fabulous retractable brush.

When I got it, it was very soft and fluffy, pretty much like the fab brushes by Marrionaud and Suesh.  But my admiration literally started "falling apart" after the first wash. =((

The bristles started shedding like crazy and worse, everything just fell apart.

Oh well, what could one expect when I only paid a measly 75 bucks for this?!  Compare that with the 400-700PhP brushes sold by other local brands.  Indeed, there is soo much truth to the adage: you get what you pay for.

But then again, 75pesos is still something.  I most definitely refuse to just throw away my hard earned moolah just like that.

See? Ain't this a beauty?

And isn't this cuter?

Lush and fluffy! Or so it seemed!

But that's all there is to it. =((

So do I ditch this baby? Or give another one a try?

Two of a Kind

When I was a kid, I secretly wished I owned SM. By then I thought, it'd be ecstatic to get (and wear) anything and everything I liked in the store. As a grown-up, I still love SM. One of the reasons is the number of lines they carry for ladies wear. For some reason (age?), I am getting lazy now in choosing my outfits and shoes. Recently, my preference is more for outfits that are comfy albeit non-flattering. This being the case, SM remains my to-go store if my wardrobe needs some quick updating.

One of the latest purchases I made are these two blouses. I call them two of a kind because really, they are! It's from SM's exclusive line called, Weender. The line carries outfits for laid back weekends which, can also be trendy and comfy for office and casual days when one has to be on her toes doing errands.

The pieces are bought made of cotton. These are among my most comfy and my-sassy-kind-of-outfit. I got 'em in mocha and in tangerine.

How much? Just Php649 a piece. Now who says comfort and fashion gotta cost a much? ;-)
