Fun times with Friends in SFO

It was a lovely day Sunday Oct 13. Throughout the day, the sky was clear and bright. No fog for a typical SFO weather. It was a bit chilly morning. It reminded me that fall is already here and the cold season will be here soon.

Big and Tall Clothing

There are many stores out there but there are only a few that offers sizes that could fit to tall people. I am glad hubby is not in that category though there are times he has the difficulty of finding clothes that would fit him because of his build. Those people who are tall would be thankful to online stores like kingsizedirect.com that offers the kind of sizes they want. I browsed the website and I found so many big and tall clothing. The prices are reasonable too. I thought the size would depend on the materials used so I was thinking that prices would be higher than the regular prices of clothes. This stores pricing of their big and tall clothing is pretty an eye catcher. To be specific on what I see that I like as well as the price, Side elastic cargo pants by boulder creek caught my attention and it’s only $29.99. That’s cheap for me considering men’s clothing is expensive.

I have a few friends that I saw their husbands sizes are into this category. I think for me introducing this site to them would give them ideas if in case they want to give their husbands some clothes for special occasion. This will be a perfect site for them to use and they could somehow get the benefit of this.

Looking Good

As you grow older, your body will change. I have been observing my body change for the past years. I really don’t like the weight gain and my look. I would want to maintain my desired weight but it’s difficult sometimes to watch every thing from food and do some exercise. The change that brought to my attention now is the size of clothes I am wearing. I am not into the plus size clothing yet but I have been drastically moving up. There are a few people that I know who has plus sizes and looking for clothes was hard to find. I will introduce this company from Jessicalondon.com. Their plus size fashion collections are good. It’s not because you have the plus size clothing you will not look good. You will get the right fit and design, it will eventually be easy. You should find ways and means to look good and that can make you feel better and comfortable.

I am advocate of looking good doesn’t mean you have to pay expensive brand of clothing. What makes a person look good is the way they carry the clothes and how comfortable it is to wear.

Fashion Experts, Come Rescue Me!

Guest written by our friend Waldo Byers

I was chilling out at home the other night, flipping through the channels on my satellite TV from TVbyDirect.com when I came across this awesome show called What Not To Wear. It's so hilarious, yet emotional at the same time. I want someone to come rescue my fashion wardrobe, too!

Basically, people submit their friends and family to the show for a style makeover, everything from clothes to hair to personality. The person, the "victim" as you will, is then ambushed by these two style gurus, Stacy and Clinton, who take them back to New York for a week of crash-course fashion. The participant is made to go through their entire old wardrobe of clothes, then the experts point out what they think will look good and offer up a few fashion pointers before sending their new client out on their own with a credit card to buy pieces based on their advice.

This is so cool! These people get professional hair and makeup advice on how they can manage their looks at home, as well as an awesome new wardrobe to take back with them. The coolest part is that all of their friends and family get together for a surprise reveal when the participant goes back home. I'm wondering now how I can get in on something that awesome!

Grammys

I've watched the Grammy's last night. It was my first time to stick to the whole show. I have not been very attentive to all those award show but just last night I was into it. The show was cool. It was very different and the line up of music is mixed. There are ice moments on the show when artists presents the nominations and it just got no excitement in their voice. It's just too dry.

The performance of the artists are cool and I like it. About the fashions, I got a mixed feeling. I like Nicole Kidman's gown and RHianna's gown is very revealing. I am not very sure if I like it or not. It's just not for me. Maybe I would like Selena's gown. Elegant and age appropriate.

Dressing Up

I love fashion and I tend to follow the trends at times. The clothes I mostly wear are very simple, not too much drama just enough to look elegant or just being neat. I don’t like to be flashy or over the top. At work, I have clothes that only for work stuff and I separate clothes for weekends and parties. It’s a perfect set up to organize stuff but it’s just sad to say now that my closet is not the most organized at all. One day for sure it will come that everything I had picture in mind will be at hand. One common set up of clothes I love to wear is jeans and t-shirts. Easy to prepare for work and use other overlaying clothes for comfort like woolrich jackets. The brand I love for jeans is Levis. It’s been like forever when I started wearing it.

The first levis 501 I had purchased was when I was in high school. I felt like I am already on the top that I wore a brand that’s quality and would last for awhile. The only time I would stop wearing them is when it’s already worn out and my body had grown with it. I just love that brand and the fitting really match my body structure. I couldn’t compare this with other brand since I am very loyal to this.

Spring is coming up and the vibrant colors of the season will soon to rise. I am looking forward to wear something new and I am hoping with my plan to loose some weights I could wear more fitting clothes and get confident again.

My Suit Made to measure

I know just very small details on mens’ suit. My husband did purchase a couple of suit before. When we were in the store he told me about what kind of button he wanted, the lapel, the size and the fabric. He mostly knew what he wanted while I don’t know much about it. I am just there to look at him and judged if the suit perfectly fit him.

The website from MySuitNY is a good way to a girlfriend or wife like me to understand how our partner or husband can be good with their sense of style. I took the tour on the buying process. I was amazed how detailed it was. So when I was browsing it, I visualize that the custom suit that best I could recommend to my husband is the double breasted jacket with the jacket details of peak lapel, center vent, besom pocket and kissing button. I choose the standard vest while the pants of single pleat and the black plain fabric 100% wool. It is easy to go over the site. It really helps me to understand the very details of the suit. The Made to measure makes it so well. I would recommend this site to many of my friend’s husband in the east coast. I am sure they would love to take a look into this since most of them don’t have the luxury of time to go to the off-the-rack stores. Or any man who often visited my site, take a visit and make your appointments. It’s easy, and fast. For two weeks time, you can get your suit with a very reasonable price just starting only for $495.

Lingerie

Who said that if you are a plus cup size, you can’t wear fashionable designer underwear? Not anymore, our world is changing and becoming innovative in terms of fashion. When I was younger I thought that if you are big than what other girls size is, you will be an outcast. You can’t be hip, elegant and be in to the community. But things have changed when I grow up. My perspective altered by allowing my senses that these are just people who tend to be different in growth. Why would I see them differently? It is just their physical side that is not the same as mine. I have friends whom I can say, different. I want to use that term than using big. It defeats my respect to them. I have seen them wearing nice and they look great. It’s not about how big you are that you can’t be in style.

Plus women can look sexy and feel comfortable with Lingerie. Boudiche features lots of designer brands from Freya , who design Freya Lingerie that is really good in quality fitting. Fayreform makes a creation of Fayreform Lingerie who’s stylish products are trendy. The two designer are just of the brands that you can find in Boudiche website. There are still a bunch of them that any women can choose from. If you are a plus and have difficulty finding a Designer Lingerie bra, knicker, french knicker, etc. Look no further. Don’t waste your time shopping around in local stores. Things can be easier now through online and your shopping can be fast and relaxing.

Fashion Sense

Some people say I have the sense in fashion. Glad to hear a good compliment in that manner. But I tell you, I don't have the style in my own while growing up. It was the people around me who dressed me up. When I was younger, in school my mom would buy some dressy clothes far from what my other classmate wore. She got all that style too though she decently dressed. In our family, it's just me and my mom who thinks about clothes and shopping. My dad and my siblings are in the same gender so all of them goes together. It's just me and my mom who loves to go around the mall and checking some stuff.

Even growing up, I don't know what other people would wear and I don't care much on what style other people are wearing. All I care was I wear decent and clean. There's no fashion magazine I would buy to care and to look for. I had my mom who will do the style for me.

It was years of not knowing what fashion really means. Until, I had some female friends who were really updated with fashion. When I looked at them, they looked so glamorous. I asked them on how they've managed to spend when looking at their clothes I felt it was expensive. They taught me how to follow what the trends and play it with the own taste of style in low price amount. I begun to search how one store differs from the other and find items that were uniquely created.

I had my disaster moment and it's part of knowing how to improve yourself. Up to this day, there are days I would care less on my style as long as I feel comfortable. But I prefer to be really good when going out. If you will see me just some jeans, shirt and no make up, it will only mean that I just try to feel comfy without minding to be feeling beautiful. When I do feel like there's a need for me to be dressy, I will shop and find that suitable design.

You don't need to buy expensive branded names. All you need is some style and be comfortable. Some stores I frequently visited: Styles for Less, Wetseal, Forever21, Charlotte Russ, Papaya. They're cheap easy to wear and up to date.

Time to Shop

July is coming very near. I will attend my husband's niece Alicia for her wedding this July 4th. Amazing how she booked her date right on the very day of Independence? She’s a smart girl. She wants all of us to have the time so we can come to her wedding. This is already planned 2 years ago while Joe and I were preparing for our wedding. We made a promised to her that we will attend whatever date she wished to set for her own. I met Scott her fiancé and both of them were at my bridal party. They're a good couple.

So today, hubby and I will find something to wear for the wedding. I know it's a bit early but who knows we might not get what we wanted today. It is better to shop early than to cram when the date is near. We will try to go to Palo Alto at Stand Ford Mall. It is a pricy little shopping mall. There’s one shop there that I am very interested to visit. I hope it is still there. I wanted to buy a dress that is simple, elegant and affordable. I can only wear dressy clothes at most times once so it is not very practical to buy the most lavish and pricy. It is not worth it. I know one thing, it is not on how much would it cost you to buy it but on how good it looks on you. I hope I can find it today just one stop.

Getting What You Want

How would you look or describe yourself? What type of clothes do you wear? A number of designs are a lot out there. The variety of clothes and accessories manufactured give us range of options from ordinary, cheap, quality and luxurious items. Everywhere you look people wear different kinds of trends. Fashion does change every season. It is great to buy new stuff but sometimes you might to take consideration of how things are going in your budget. People at times would get themselves obsessed of getting what they want. In some ways others could get into trouble burdening their family budget leading to financial constraint.

If you happen to watch Snapped on TV, which at most times I do. I had seen cases of women who were involved with murder. The predicament causes them to ruin their credit, many bills unpaid, repossession of property such as a house, a car and also make them to be shopaholic they can’t stop not to shop even if it’s not very necessary to buy. The only resort they could do is to kill someone over the insurance policy of a spouse, and also rubbery. It is a tragedy for me to see this kind of situation. How absurd isn’t it?

It is better to know where your limits are and how flexible it can be in your budget. You don't need to have something that others may have. It is not the end of the world that you must get it right away. If there's a way of getting it without no burden, go ahead and enjoy it. Be happy on what you have and don't get envy of others if you can't have what they have.

“We buy things we don’t need,

with money we don’t have,

to impress people we don’t like.”

Wedding Dress

A wedding is the most important part of a woman’s life. We are planning several things to make this event more meaningful. But the most major aspect of the wedding is to wear a dress that signifies beauty. They said the bride is the most beautiful person there is in a wedding so having a dream wedding dress are concentrated upon by many.

I had made to design my own but with unfortunate time I had to cut down some of the patterns to go along for the limited of work there is to make it. The original design could have been more embroidery with touches of red accent of flowers from the upper tube and the tail of the dress. It also could have more bead works to make it sparkle emphasizing the pattern.

One day I got a call from my dressmaker 2 weeks before I need to get the wedding dress done. The dress already cut but the embroidery and beading wasn’t done yet. The person who supposedly contracted should have made it but with a death of a loved one the work was canceled for weeks. I was devastated. It was stressing me a whole lot. With time restriction, my dressmaker and I were redesigning it to make it simple and elegant as best as it can be made. We found another person to do the embroidery and bead works and bought premade lace to attach to the tail. I am not so thrilled over the finish product but at least in some way it looks decent and elegant when I had it worn and in fact used it twice for my wedding in New Jersey and Cebu.

Can't wait for Spring

Today, here in the office seating on my chair and looking outside. The window blinds are all rolled up so I can see the view and the beautiful sunshine. Everyday I can see how the day changed from gloomy, foggy, rainy and sunny. Right now, it is clear and bright. I don’t like the very cold weather but I don’t like the hot humid day and today seems to be perfect. I have something to do that I must finish before I can go home but having this moment with a beautiful day just make me like to stare at space.

I am looking forward to that very day when I can just wear shorts and Capri with t-shirts. Spring is almost here and I hope no more heavy rain. Shower is fine and just having too much just can’t make it brighter. Winter season is quite more layering of clothes, turtle necks, sweatshirts and wearing puffy coats. It’s hot and it’s like a hassle. But if you don’t, you will feel so cold.

Just barely a month from now, spring will be here. I can’t wait for that day. I will be free and much lighter. See the beach, get to feel the warmth of the sun, and enjoy the rides at the theme parks. I hope I can do it all.
