Is this for real?! But it’s all over the news! It is so not possible for the worldwide mass media to be incorrect. And they’re not wrong!!!
Of course, this just goes to show how much time Marga has in her hands. (And that applies to me too, posting on a work hour.)
Cheers to the wedding that will potentially trump Charles and Diana’s! Spring 2011. :)
Yes, this is Cecile van Straten’s newest line, Heather Miss Grey. It’s available at Bleach Catastrophe, Greenbelt 5 and TriNoma.
So for Christmas, this is included in my list. Hint Hint People!!!

What is your favorite song of all time?
I think that’s a pretty difficult question, being a fan of so many artists. I think most of my friends would no even know the asnwer to this. Most of them would complain that I have too many weird tastes so I guess it’s better for me to have a permanent playlist in mind.
I love European pop and rock, and a lot of indie artists. I feel like I’m doing some sense of injustice each time I don’t defend the quality and the depth of their lyrics because in all honesty, most of their words sink to the very core. People just fail to acknowledge it, probably because they’ve gotten so used to the pop sound and the bandwagon that they just automatically reject whatever it is that’s new to their ear. Or maybe that’s just me being judgmentsl.
However, I do have a list of my favorite lyrics. Once revealed, everyone would know the romantic that I am. What the hell, it’s bound to show anyway.
And of course, I have to cite something from John Mayer:
Should have smiled in that picture / If that’s the last that I’ll see of you
So far, that’s it. I know I’m eventually adding more to this list so expect me to answer this question again. :)
It was almost uneventful if it weren’t for that sudden whim to watch a movie.
Dylan and I caught RED at Greenbelt 3. I wanted to take him to Power Plant Mall, but I didn’t want to push him, so we just went to our comfort zone that is Ayala Malls. :) We’ve been meaning to catch that movie for quite sometime now, and we finally got around to doing it.
RED stars Oscar winning actors in their, well… senior form. Bruce Willis, Frank Moses, plays an ex-CIA agent who is not really adjusting well to his retirement. He constantly flirts with this pension operator Sarah Ross, played by Mary Louise Parker, by tearing up his pension just to talk to her. Then one night, an elite group raided his house in attempts to kill him. I say attempts because in true Die Hard factor, Moses escapes unscathed and goes to Ross to rescue her.
Apparently, that’s how they do it. They kill everyone you’re close to.
Anyway, Moses rounds up his old gang, Joe Boggs (Morgan Freeman), a lunatic laced on LSD for years as part of a government conspiracy aimed at tracking his neurological functions Martin (John Malkovich), the Russian guy who seems to serve fantastic vodka Ivan (Brian Cox) and the foxy Victoria (Helen Mirren).
It was hilarious. Malkovich and his fantastic quips managed to whip new age action stars, scolding them and reminding them that action need not be serious. They can really use a cue if not more from these veteran actors.
Mirren is the sexiest woman on earth, holding a gun like it’s a cellular phone: casual and normal. Nuff said.
Too bad, Red is no longer showing in the theatres. Dylan and I managed to catch the last stretch of it last week, and well, for those who haven’t watched it, there’s always Pirate Bay. :)

It’s not a surprise. This brand has been a household name since its launch in 1976. So even when the world’s first woman CEO of a Fortune 500 company passed away in 2006, many clamored to make sure the brand stays.
Liz Claiborne. Ah. Nothing else would sound quite as exquisite. Liz Claiborne, a Belgian-born American designer started her own line of clothing when she became frustrated how clothing companies do not have outfits for working women. She founded Liz Claiborne Inc in 1976, earning $2 million in its first year. The brand was such a success that by 1978, its profits were $23 million.
I didn’t know this until I researched, but apparently, Liz Claiborne changed the way we shop. I know for men it doesn’t really matter because it’s a vain activity, but how Liz Claiborne marketed her products changed the way malls are designed now. She is the first designer to have insisted that her collection – clothing, handbags, shoes, purses and accessories – be put together on the department sales floor instead of separating them into clothing categories. Because of that innovation, we no longer have to find a shirt, then a pant, then shoes to coordinate an outfit. Liz Claiborne made sure we had everything we needed in one area.
Liz Claiborne retired from active management in 1989 and succumbed to a long fight with cancer in 2006. Her line is now exclusively distributed by JC Penney.
To some, this might sound like a blonde post – ditzy and vain. Early this morning, I purchased a Liz Claiborne Heritage wallet and I remember the first time I got a Liz Claiborne (thanks, Ate Mel). It’s so simple and chic and somehow it made me feel like I’m making a smart decision. The brand is such a statement, almost becoming a staple in every working woman’s closet. It’s amazing how a simple frustration did that.
And that department store idea? It’s so simple. I wish people who have such simple ideas that can possibly provide more comfort and ease in the way we live muster enough courage to speak out and suggest it, if not do it themselves. God knows we need simple ideas lately. The big ones just keep fucking us up.
So yeah. I’m hoping to win that bidding war on eBay for that Liz Claiborne patchwork satchel. May the spirit of Liz Claiborne guide my purchase. :)
