PRIVADO SALE

There was a luxurious sale event at SM Megamall last Friday til Sunday. That's right! THE PRIVADO SALE!
It was way better than the one in SM North because there were more choices and more discounts. Discounts at the Privado sale in SM North was 10% off and additional 20% if you are an SM Advantage Card holder but in SM Megamall, it was 20% off! HUGE DIFFERENCE RIGHT? It can be!

ANYWAY, I bought 2 Gucci shades. Here's the story.
I was planning on buying either of the 4: Dior, DSquared, Tom Ford or Roberto Cavalli shades but my gosh they're super expensive! So, I browsed some more and saw the Gucci stall and just looked! Oh wow! There were sunglasses that are in 4990 and 6990. And they're 20% off. AND 20% OFF MORE IF YOU HAVE SM ADVANTAGE CARD!  I thought to myself, think first! NO IMPULSIVE BUYING FOR LUXURY ITEMS MARK! Ok fine. I went and thought about it and I said, I'LL BUY IT! Unfortunately, the one I want was already bought! S@3$*#!!!! So, I was depressed. And when I'm depressed, I buy. So...



I wanted this Dior Paname. But its 15995. In the Dept. Store, it's 12995.

Dior and Givenchy sunnies
DSquared Sunnies.Those DQ001/s were great but it did not fit me :(

Versace, Prada, Ferragamo, D&G, but none to my taste.

The Guccis. I wanted the one on the lowermost left. You could see that it's from the bamboo collection.

The paper bags.



TA-DAH! I love them both! Love the shape and the fit are great!

Gucci 2988/s in ivory white and Gucci 3014/s in black! I love that it has the fit of Dior Glossy but squarish.

Wearing the Gucci 2988.

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!
