Flourish

The girly side in me attacks again. Lace, ribbon, flowy skirts, low-heels, name it! I’m in the mood to be back to my original style again.

This was during the Community Fashion Show with Team Kramer, you can check my post here. We were asked to dress to impress and of course, the moment I hear that line, my personal style should always come first.

I have been meaning to wear this skirt I kept in my “almost-never-worn” section of my closet so I needed a good top to compliment its feminine aura. Is pairing up a ribbon laced crop top a good decision?

Homogeneous

This was what I wore during the first Abreeza Fashion Forum. The instruction was to wear colorless attire so I opted to wear a B&W mini dress.

I have big thighs since forever so I am honestly not sure if this mini dress looks good with my legs so I decided to pull up with six-inch pumps instead. What do you think?

Yosi Samra Holiday Collection

I, myself, will surely catch an eye for flats based on my personality.

And for a thin and light footwear, durability have always been a problem.

Finally, Yosi Samra rescued.

So this is how the story goes,

Yosi Samra was destined to be a shoemaker. As a young man, he was no stranger to the shoe industry. His father owned a shoe factory in New York where Samra worked as an apprentice. This was where he learned not only how to design shoes, but more importantly how to make them. He eventually mastered the craft of shoemaking, which is what sets him apart from other shoe designers.

To date, over 1000 boutiques carry Yosi Samra shoes and accessories across the United States and 85 other countries, including 15 brand shops in Asia and The Middle East. 

Now, as they emerge Davao busy yuppies and teens can't stop craving over these comfort flats that they can almost wear anywhere and in any event they go to.

Thank you Yosi Samra!

Much love, Cham

Best selling truffles!

Mango yogurt!

If my blogpost title sounds familiar to you, then be proud because you have already encountered the most delectable homemade treat in Mindanao!

I've been eyeing this local confectionery shop ever since and never attempted to look at inside. Hence, last October 16 the brilliant owner of Mix N' Magic invited me to a re-opening event in their Gmall branch.

I was too surprised that most of their food was astonishingly cheap yet delightful that I would like to buy all! Lol

A pleasure for taste buds and the bliss in the eye is just a plus.

The shop have been running for already 18 years that originated in General Santos City. Davao Branch had started 4 years ago. And now had multiple branches in the island including their main branch in Torres St. and here in Gmall.

So go and get some treat at any Mix N' Magic branch near you!
