Bazaar Day - gossip and shopping!

After being stressed-out and sleepless for a few days while taking care of my sick little one, I took half the day "off" yesterday to go to the Sweet Sexy Thang Bazaar @ the Intercon Hotel. It was also my chance to see good friends, Pao and Smile whom I hadn't seen in a while.

The bazaar wasn't as big as the usual ones, but there were lots of interesting things to see and buy. Needless to say, everyone's favorite Baubles Bangles 'n Beads was there. So were regular bazaristas ---Silly Me Clothing, Angeli's Beads, Dean & Trent, Cole Vintage, Flatterbuy, BE (my favorite store in Greenhills Theater Mall), Pink Belter and a few more that I failed to take note of.
I will not share the gossip part of course hee hee! But here's yesterday's loot:

2 pairs of shoes from Ichigo : Nina Sandals and Izumi Pointed Flats
(oops...the sandals I got from Charm's stall pala in GH yesterday)

Can a trip to the bazaar be complete without scoring these beauties?
Hand-painted bangles from Baubles Bangles 'n Beads
The one on top is Anissa's

And at the very last minute...scored this pretty eyelet trapeze dress from BE
My friend Pao did an excellent job convincing me to get it in this color (I'm not a fan of the color navy). I wanted the white one but it was the last piece they had and I found a few snags on the fabric here and there

I would've wanted to stay longer but DH was waiting for me so we could have dinner together (he didn't know at this point about the dent I put on his atm account hahaha!). So ladies...'til our next chismax session? I can hardly wait!!!

Another Havie Get-together

Our dear dear friend (and my business partner), SS is here from Asia's fashion capital where she resides...so another get-together was organized. Our favorite hangout/pigout place in Shang Mall (also our favorite mall), CYMA was again last night's venue for this uber brief but enjoyable-as-always gathering. Too bad a few others couldn't make it.

Our guest of honor, Smiley

With her pretty daughter, Dannielle

That's me and my sungit Sabine

The Havie gang's all here!

Another reason for the gathering --- we wanted to take a group photo of us wearing our Havaianas Foundation bangles hehe! In this pic with Pao and VLS, the masters behind Baubles, Bangles 'n Beads

I'm addicted!

I've known Pao of BaublesBanglesnBeads for a while now but it took sometime before I gathered the courage to order her now famous hand-painted bangles for myself. It's true what others have been saying --- once you get started, it's hard to stop!

My first two purchases from BBB:

Unfortunately, Anissa dropped the one on the bottom and caused it to crack. The one on top was "sequestered" by my niece. But I placed a re-order and they're currently in production --- yaaaayyy!

These are my newer ones:

One of their best-sellers : the Apollo Flirting bangle (mine is in turquoise)


The kiddie/tweenie bangles I got for DD

And the one that takes the cake:

THE HAVAIANAS FOUNDATION BANGLE
Made to order and currently exclusive to our small group of Havaianas afficionados
If you look closely at the bottom left picture, my name is painted on the brown sole he he!

What can I say, I love BBB to death! I'm sure you will, too. If you haven't gotten a BBB bangle for yourself, click HERE.
