Braza Flash Tape

Braza Flash Tape, $5.50. Available at Lauren Silva.

Works like the usual double-sided tape, although of course this one is made for clothes and skin. I had the privilege of actually using this product when I had to fix a hem. Sticky, alright. So sticky that I had a hard time taking it off. Even after washing, the tape is still there, securing the hems… and securing my low-neck blouse. Well, at least I know it lives up to its purpose.

It already comes with a dispenser. Wonder if there’s a refill, or should I buy it over and over with the dispenser…

David Donahue Sterling Silver Cuff Links, $85. Available at Nordstrom.com.

When I was younger and my dad still worked in the bank, I’ve always wanted to give him a set of cuff links. I thought it was classy and elegant, and I wanted him to look exactly like that at work. Unfortunately, circumstances has led me and my sibs to give my dad something else for his birthday or for any special occasion. Until he retired, I never got to give him something like this.

This Father’s Day, who knows? Now that I’m the one earning the income, I just might get these for my dad. I like that it’s just silver and without jewels or patterns — classic design, won’t go out of style. Plus it doesn’t scream, “Hey! I’m a cuff link! Look at me!” It’s one men’s accessory that will make heads turn and eyes look its way — without any effort at all.

I love silver. It’s sophisticated.

Valmont Longline Seamless Strapless Bra with Molded Cups, $58.98. Available at LaurenSilva.com.

The website says it’s a bra, but it looks more of a bustier to me. Or even a corset. Nevertheless, I like it.

Since my wedding is fast approaching and the gown fittings are just around the corner, I’m thinking of wearing something inside my strapless tube-top gown. I needed something that would tame my tummy. At least with this bra — or bustier — I won’t be pondering on what bra to wear as well. The back is a bit low, I don’t think I have to worry about it doing the peek-a-boo once in a while.

Unfortunately, no skin tone, just white. But at least it has my size — which is below average, believe me.

Just Kittying Bikini Art Stencil Set, $18.95. Available at TipsnTrends.com.

Instead of doing the Brazilian wax, why not try “shaping” your hair down there? This bikini stencil set will help make that into a work of art: an arrow, a heart, lightning, whatever. Want to surprise your guy? Maybe this will work. Just make sure your man’s “open” to things like these, else your hot moment be interrupted by his unstoppable laughter.

Yes, there are guys like that. Hmp.

CeaSwim Heavenly Belted Hipster Tankini, $38.99 (discounted price). Available at Overstock.com.

My PC at home is busted! Waah! Need to either fix it or save up for another. Dammit!

But anyway, I’m back…

So I guess my summer hangover isn’t over. Found this tankini that doesn’t have to brag itself with loud colors and fancy prints. Plus it now costs below $40, so that’s awesome.

Plus I like halter neck designs. I feel they flatter me.

MICHAEL Michael Kors Medium Shoulder Satchel Handbag, $448. Available at Shopbop.com.

If I were to give my mom something for Mother’s Day, this would probably be it. The nice contrast of the tan straps with the creamy fabric, decorative hinges and inside pockets, which I know she would love. A bit steep in price, though. Nevertheless, it’s just one of the few times you’re going to splurge for her. Why not?

Strapless Resort Dress from Vivienne Tam, $306. Available at eDressMe.com.

Since I’m in the summer mode, here’s a cute dress I’d like to wear during the night party at the beach. No frills, easy to wear and, of course, in pink. Haha!

I’m not so keen about the silver wedge sandals. I’d probably wear flats like these with it:

Sam Edelman Women’s Ginger Shoe in Pewter, $89.99. Available at Shoes.com.

Braza Swim Shaper Silicone Inserts, $12.95. Available at Laurensilva.com.

I must admit, I’m not very much well-endowed up there (nor am I as sexy as the model in the previous post). I stumbled upon this product which says it can give your girls a bit of enhancement while in a swimwear. Hmm, maybe something I need. I haven’t tried wearing silicone inserts like these even in a regular everyday bra, but hey, I bet it’s better than stuffing your bikini with tissue.

Moontide Bikini Halter Top, $76. Moontide Bikini Brief, $56. All available at Figleaves.com.

It’s summertime, and I’ve been itching to go to the beach. And because I refuse to wear the same swimwear I’ve worn last year (it won’t look good in the pictures, you know), I’m on to hunting again. I like this pair because it’s got that beautiful blue hues going on. Nice on the eyes. And even if summer’s over, the colors would remind you of happy memories as you get a tan or party all night by the shore.

Swarovski Crystal Silver Plated Earrings, $98. Available at Forzieri.com.

I’m getting married a few months from now. At this stage in my preparations, I’m looking for inspiration for my accessories. Earrings are my priority — drop earrings, to be exact. I wanted something that isn’t too colorful and would add pizazz to my halter-neck gown. The picture above looks like it’ll match my wedding dress.

Originally, I wanted something that didn’t show much metal (or silver). I do like the design of this one better:

Pink & Amethyst Swarovski Crystal Drop Earrings, $164. Available at Forzieri.com.

… it’s just way too expensive, and I’d want them in white or clear crystals.
