Streets of Manila… people don’t really follow traffic rules here. Lanes are ignored. Horns are used often. Pedestrians do NOT have the right of way, even in a crosswalk.

Get in where you fit in is the rule of the road, yet there is rarely an accident…

Notice all the billboards. The fashion billboard LIVES in Manila

The leader of the “Band-Aids”, Penny Lane was calm, cool, and beautifully broken. If you haven’t seen Almost Famous, you’ve been living under a rock.

The Suede by OPI collection will bring a new finish to some classic colors; matte finish WITH shimmer. Shimmer adds to the dimension in matte formulas. I’m excited to see how these turn out.

Here are the colors picked for this collection:

1st Row: You Don’t Know Jacques!, Russian Navy,  and Lincoln Park After Dark
2nd Row: OPI Ink, We’ll Always Have Paris, and Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees

Look for these in September at your local beauty supply stores.

Here is a view of Greenbelt Mall, down the street from where I stayed in Makati, Manila, Philippines.

We came here frequently, there are 5 parts to this mall!

Notice how clean the streets are? Not one piece of trash. I saw people sweep the areas frequently.

I’m kind of digging the black belt bag. I’m tired of lugging around enormous handbags when I go out.

What do you think of the pieces?

While out in Manila, Philippines I got to experience the night life. Our friend took us to his club, Embassy Superclub, basically the hot spot for all the young, stylish, and who’s who of the city. My brother-in-law DJ Eman rocked a set while we were there. All I can say is… Manila Parties Harder

Better Entrances

More Bottles

More Lasers

More Girls up on Couches

Probably one of the best vibes I’ve ever felt out at a club. Everyone was there to do the same thing, just have a good time. Can’t wait to go back
