A Closet for Limitless Adventure, Limitless Possibilities

Job Demo Outfit for Me!

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:42:00 +0000

I applied to another school and since my wardrobe was limited and quite fancy, I simply chose a long brown pair of slacks, long yellow printed blouse with long sleeves, a pair of brown flat shoes. I was quite all tense that I felt my knees elbow and my hands all cold.

I spent the evening before the big day consumed with frustrated working experience but working with demo presentations until late midnight.

I somehow hid the dark eye circles with only a good pressed powder and a blush on. I don’t know it help but since I was hired for a new job, I can only be happier.

Mall Space for Our Boutique

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:37:00 +0000

One of the mall exhibits we did and eventually relocated to a permanent mall space

The mall space that we have been waiting for is finally being constructed. We can only be anxious and excited about it that I hardly sleep thinking of ways how I can raise enough capital to sustain the interior designs and new cheaper stocks.

Business management is quite tough compared to just reading it from the notes. I can only take wisdom from those who have been in the industry for a long time. Learn from their mistakes and re-live the good practices.

By then, we shall relocate our stocks from the mall exhibit and the old place.

Spring Fashion Collection

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:29:00 +0000

In the Philippines where tropical weather is all year round, spring collections from all over the world are quite appealing to us.

Filipinos, commoner or not simply adore local and international celebrities of their choice of fashion. And, just like any other Filipino, I appreciate the flower - and - pastel highlighted outfits.

So, here is another video clip from Youtube of the 2009 Spring Collections of Diane Von Furstenberg.

The collections are great but the models are skinny again. Do they also use appetite suppressants to control their weight gains?

It may take me years to have that kind of figure. But, somehow, wearing the right fit, right color may hide the extra bulges.

I still have to work on these unwanted lumps on my belly to look good on spring clothes.

My Cake Decors Mean

You Are a Romantic Wedding

For you, love is sweet and precious. You don't love easily, but those you do love are showered with affection.

To be unloved would probably make it hard for you to love again. It's hard enough for you to love as is.

Romantic love is very intense for you... and very private. You aren't one to talk about your relationship with others.

You may even keep your love a secret at first. You don't like opening up our relationship to scrutiny and gossip.

I quite have read some strange and unique sources for beauty regimen. I have seen these products made from goat's milk, placenta, soya, plant's extracts and many more.

But, what if your beauty products come from more strange sources like bird's poop, bull's semen, or gorilla snot? Geez, they give me creeps but in some countries like United Kingdom or Mexico, these sources are actually commercially used and sold.

I only wondered if there are really health studies on these and good reviews like colon cleanse reviews to boost.

Fashion Runway for Spring 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:39:00 +0000

I did check what could be the expected fashion trends now that the new year is coming fast. I was simply fortunate enough to search from Youtube and got this project runway of great designers, Michael Kors, Nanette Lepore, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Milly by Michelle Smith, Alexandre Herchcovitch, Anna Sui, and Doo.Ri.

There were nice designs and styles that I personally like but as usual, I kinda wonder when I can have the weight and aura of the ramp models. I am pretty sure that diet, exercise and diet product help them achieve their present sizes.

The models are simply too skinny that I wonder if the dresses they put on may appear as beautiful if they are worn by big people like me.

Selling Fashion Accessories

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:34:00 +0000

Our mall exhibits did not bring much income at all. Somehow, the exhibit was a break - even case scenario only.

We can only appreciate the fact that somehow, our old stocks had been sold out.

But, what seems to be more saleable nowadays are replicas of signature watches, silver and gold - plated accessories and some cheap shirts and sundresses.

We cant blame the people though, since recession has been bad.

We can only hope for improved sales in the coming days.

Appealing Boutique Themes for Us

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:15:00 +0000

We only began our fashion boutique month ago but when we started our mall exhibits, we were kind of lost on how we should manage our sales and customer service.

Somehow, benchmarking with other exhibitors and other stores help us improve our hands - on skills. But,among the many things we have learned, designing our stall and our stocks somehow has psychological impact among our customers. Picking the right color, arrangement, furniture and Kohler fixtures helps improve or breaks the sales.

Oftentimes, the stocks are so disarrayed that our fellow exhibitor-friend would rearrange them to make them more appealing.

We still have so many things to learn from the fashion industry and business.

General Santos Bloggers Fashion, Hmnnn!

November is a special month for Sarangani Province since they celebrate the MunaTo or the first people, Festival. The province is quite rich with ethnic culture covering B'laan, T'boli, Manobo and the Muslims.

As a former employee for the province, I can't help but promote the wonders of this Mindanao festival to everyone.

Cooler Fashion for Cooler Days!

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:07:00 +0000

Now that Christmas holidays are coming, the weather seems getting colder each morning. Of course, I have to shift between long pajamas and short pants.

But, what I pretty like about Santa Claus holidays is the reunion and parties I get to attend while others wear some party costumes including lingerie costume to boost.

When September comes in, the entire Filipinos start to become festive and creative with all the holiday decors and accessories. But, there are always the winter fashion from the snowing countries that fascinate us to the point that we impersonate them.

We can only wish for snow and holidays too soon.

Taxes for Christmas Bazaars

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:55:00 +0000

In the current news given earlier, it was announced that the Bureau of Internal Revenues (BIR) shall be collecting taxes from Christmas Bazaars starting December 5 where Php 100.00-150.00 per day shall be collected.

I must say as an exhibitor that we only earn and cope with the crisis because of the holiday rush and now BIR is simply too eager to skin us alive. As a small business, taxes and operational costs really burn us although these are only fair but I wish they can give exceptions especially to those who only do business on very very short time compared to the recession that has been occuring for months now.

Accessorize and accessorize more!

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:40:00 +0000

One of my picks from Zenni Optical's wide - array of Holiday Fun Eyeglasses

Who says beauty only comes from the clothes we wear? I say it is a total package when I want to see someone beautiful head to toe. Oftentimes, we accessorize through a classy pair of earrings, bangles or anklets, stylish necklaces, hats and eye contacts or eye glasses.

But, the choice of accessories matters a lot. Somehow, they must complement one’s color, the mood and the entire outfit.

The thing with accessories is that they are supposed to accentuate the beauty of the wearer not distract or embarrass.

So, the eye glass I picked above shall complement my streaks of white and green outfit, bags or sandals and flip flops. There are other cute eye wears from the New Arrivals with as low as $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses.

I say, when we buy our accessories, we must not only take delight from them but from the praises we also get from others.

Unlike any other celebrity weddings, the wedding of vice - president aspirant, Mar Roxas and the renowned journalist, Korina Sanchez was nationally watched on October 27 and lavished with traditional barong tagalogs, Maria Clara gowns and culture of 40's and 50's. Of course, the wedding was simply filled with hundreds of well - wishers from showbiz, politics and the general public.

Korina Sanchez' serpentina wedding gown in Filipinana motif was made by Pepito Alberto. Of course, the entire Filipinos simply watched and enjoyed the love story of these newlyweds and the stories they shall continue to make.

Fashion Replicas

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:56:00 +0000

Recession really hits not only USA but so are countries worldwide. This is quite evident by the downfall of a number of big business icons and close - downs of small and medium enterprises.

In the Philippines, it is the fashion and export industries that are badly affected. No wonder, replicas or imitations and retailed merchandises are preferred including those gadgets like cell phones, computers, TV, players, faucets,watches and others.

Europeans say we can be optimistic that economic recession shall finally end but we have to be cautious with spending. I quite agree with them.

Miss Earth for a Real Cause

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:15:00 +0000

With the series of typhoons hitting Philippines and the rest of the world, this Miss Eart h 2009 must indeed make a real legacy by compelling people to save the earth before it's really too late.

I can only hope that each of us can be a be an earth person and help.

Gadget Dress Up?

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:20:00 +0000

When I took my masteral class in Inforrmation Technology, one of my college professors had this cute laptop with classic stick on art on his unit. My classmates then started querying about it. But, the professor said he is doing it himself at pricey amount.

I know that there are now a number of special stick - on papers for digital prints. I have our picture printed on a stick-on to clothes. I have the picture glued on my notebook's jacket.

But, gadgets like MP3, cell phones, Logo jump drive and computers among other things are getting frenzy and popular.

At least you don't have to get bored with the usual look of your gadget. Cool! Art and technology have indeed changed the pavement of art history.

We Need More Fashion Stocks

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:17:00 +0000

What is so unique and predictable about fashion business is that people would always want something new, something different and something cheezy at lower rates.

Although, a number of elite would want brands, greater mass would want beauty at lowest and cheapest prices.

So, our fashion stocks are depleting but we are not earning much since they are sold only at cheaper rates, and the weather is not helping, since, the extreme weather is on, we can only wish for a ski vacation at remote areas.

We shall be getting newer stocks now, but we have to really to look for cheap ones.

The Price of Beauty Vanity

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:10:00 +0000

How much are you willing to pay for beauty? I guess, for some they would say, no price is enough for them.

Beauty requires greater costs I we are really not contented of how ourselves look like. I guess this is pretty true among celebrity and models whose beauty and personality are their major asset.

No wonder cosmetic surgery is quite the solution among a number of celebrity. But, what if plastic surgery gone wrong? One can say, I love my old self better. LOL!

Just check this one image I got from the topsocialite.com.

Jocelyn Wildenstein- a socialite who paid $4 Million on plastic surgery gone wrong.

Recession Really Hits Fashion Industry Worst

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 10:41:00 +0000

In my previous posts in earlier months, the fashion and export industries are badly affected by economic recession. No wonder, cheap textiles, shoes, bags and apparel have prevailed the market. Worst, used clothes are becoming the preferred choice these days.

A number of companies have declared bankrupt or laid off employees worldwide because of economic crisis. So, it is only wiser that we prioritize our expenses or better yet go for term life insurance quotes before anything else.

We can only wish that crisis will be soon resolved or else, a number of unemployed will continue to rise.

Our Fashion Store's Sales

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 10:38:00 +0000

In business there are really days when the sales are good while there are days that they are bleak. In our mall space, the days have been sadder even if it weekend.

We can only wish for better days and we hope to get more stocks. I hope the budget will still allow it since I am all drained from vacation. sigh!

Old Clothes, Old Friends

noreply@blogger.com (Ruz) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:30:00 +0000

I am back to Zamboanga City and I have the chance to meet my old buddies. There were a lot of catching up but I mostly get good praises for looking better and happier. I guess, it helps when you are happy with your work and family. Although, I must admit, I gained extra weight for constant sitting and couch potato with computer, TV and their mounts.

But, I have to say inner and outer beauty complements. If one is insufficient, no enough therapy or medications or accessories can hide what is missing.

So, I must do to take off the extra weight but feeling better still. I only hope I have the constant courage to go for exercise. sigh!
