Couple of Updates

Okay, I've been kinda lazy. Here are some of my updates to you:
I BOUGHT A LOT OF SUNGLASSES! HAHAHAHA! And it's because they're on sale. Men, these sales are making me broke! haha!

Okay , #1. Michael Michael Kors Wilmette Sunglasses from L'Optique Paris. L'Optique Paris had an awesome sale last Great Northern Sale. ALL ITEMS 50% OFF! And since I go there like every time, they already know me and gave me access to their hidden treasures. Haha! Not really hidden. But let me tell you, they have a lot of sunglasses hiding around their store. Don't be afraid to ask. All you see in the displays are just like half of what they have. They have a lot of drawers with sunglasses. And these sunglasses were hidden in the drawers. Haha. See, it doesn't hurt to ask. You might even end up with your sunglasses 4 life!

The sunnies were originally Php 3,990 ($94.37) but were reduced to Php 1,995 ($47.19). Super affordable!!!














Okay #2, Miu Miu and Pepe Jeans. THESE ARE SUPER AFFORDABLE! SM Department Store in SM North EDSA had a stall in their 2nd floor with a clearance sale of designer sunnies. Raybans for 3,990, Ferragamo for 7,990 Donna Karan, Guess, Miu Miu and Pepe Jeans AND MORE!







 The Pepe Jeans were for 990 pesos only or $23.42. I love the fact that they're white wayfarers. My problem with my Ray Bans is that they are so curvy that it sits on my cheek. Unfortunately, I have a flat nose and high cheekbones (perks of being a Filipino is the nose, and perks of being asian are the cheekbones haha!). So basically Ray-Bans need to have an "Asian Fit" line just like other sunglasses like Oakley.










Forget about the price tag....
 I bought these Miu Miu's (which were seen in their eyewear campaign) FOR 990 PESOS! YES! AND I GOT AN ADDITIONAL 10% OFF BECAUSE I'M AN SM ADVANTAGE CARD HOLDER! YAY!










I also have sunglasses I bought from SM Dept. Store for 50 pesos! I'll tell you about those in the coming days! ;) 
PS. There are still 990-peso Miu Mius at Landmark Trinoma but save some for me! I want to buy 3 or 4 in their store! Haha!

DIY PROJECT: SUNGLASSES BOWTIE

The inspiration was from NeckSpecs. Here are the pics!

FRESH! Haha! I mean PHRESH! lakas maka-bowtie, sunglasses ang peg! achievin natin to!
O eto ang akin! (O, here's mine!) PAK!
SUNGLASSES FROM PEPE JEANS! MATCHY MATCHY! HAHA!

Ok! So how did I make that! DIY MODE ON!
Materials:
Sunglasses: anything you want I chose kids sunglasses so it has the same size as a bowtie
Glue gun
Thread and needle
Garter
Screwdriver (there are small ones for glasses that can be bought in optical stores I guess)
5 minutes and patience

The materials...




Use the screwdriver to unscrew the screw connecting the frame and the temple. The glue gun should be plugged in right now so that the glue will be very liquid when we stick things into it ;)

The result.

Do the same thing for the other temple

The aftermath.
Now with the garter...



My gosh, what long neck! He should be a model! Choz! Hahaha!
 Anyways, measure the garter with your neck allowing some 1 or 2 cm allowance. Trust me! Unless you like being choked, allow some allowance gels!

Cut.


Sew. BTW, make sure to heat up the ends of the garter so that it will not loose the thread. You know put it in the fire of a candle for a few seconds.

The result!

Ok. Now position the garter in the middle of the glasses. I suggest you put the sewn part on the middle of the glasses so that when you wear them, it won't stretch and get ruined.

Apply the glue first then the garter. Ok, whatta mess and what a dirty glue gun! Haha!
There we go.

Allow about 3-5 minutes for it to dry.

The aftermath of the DIY.

FINISHED PRODUCT!

WORN! with Aldo leopard print bowtie necklace!
