Ke$ha in Miu Miu Sunglasses

Look at Ke$ha, she looks good for herself if I say so myself. I even kinda like her hair although I don't like the color of her shoes.

So what sunglasses did she wear?

Based from the shape, I think you would figure it out that it's Miu Miu. What I love about this one is the color and it has a velvety texture. I like this one and Miu Miu has 2 other pentagon sunglasses alternatives, the Miu Miu SMU 11N and SMU 53N. Buy them here.

Rating 4 out of 5 - Almost perfect!

PRADA RECYCLES FROM MIU MIU

It's my birthday month! Yay!

Anyways, I just noticed something fom the Prada Eyewear Fall 2013 collection... THEY LOOK LIKE FREAKIN' MIU MIU'S!

Now, I know that Miu Miu and Prada are made by the same designers but I think it's a bit too soon. Actually, this has happened before. But, the fact that the Miu Miu sunglasses are now very iconic and spotted everywhere, they need to be careful. Anyway, see the similarities....

Despite that, I would gladly buy all of them. Haha.

Up next, my search for my "iconic" sunglasses. You know, the sunglasses that I will be wearing for years. Please don't expect Ray-Ban. Thanks! Haha!

PRADA AND MIU MIU FALL 2013 ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

So you know that I love the Prada and Miu Miu campaigns right? They're always creative and makes you buy their clothes (at least I do. Haha!)

And now for Fall 2013, Prada is having an audition for I guess an actress role while Miu Miu dances to the beat (Georgia May shows her "Moves Like Jagger" LOL)

MIU MIU:


But when it comes to dancing, no one can defeat Raquel Zimmerman and Karen Elson dancing to Pitbull for Lanvin Fall 2011.

kthanksbye. :D

DIY MIU MIU GLITTER SUNGLASSES

I have to be honest. While I'm writing this post, I'm wearing my DIY sunnies.
So basically last March 2011, Miuccia Prada showed these amazing sunnies from the Miu Miu Fall 2011 runways. They are available in loads of colors but it was the glitter ones that really tickled me.

 I DIY-ed the gold glitter ones which surprises me because Madonna wore the red and silver ones. Should've done those. Well, I'll do them next time. :))

Okay what you need:
1. gold nail polish
2. gold glitter nail polish
(What I learned is that they don't have gold nail polish with gold glitter available here in the Phils. Their gold glitter nail polish was basically clear nail polish with gold glitter.)
3. clear nail polish
4. sunnies. I suggest cat eyes ;)
5. nail polish remover
6. patience (I mean patience!)

 What I learned:

-Nail polish is much cheaper in Landmark Dept. Store than in SM Dept. Store. The Chic nail polish was the best bargain. 10 ml for 27.75 in Landmark. Caronia 8 ml was 27.75 in Landmark BUT 34.75 in SM Department Store! :O

 The instructions are real simple. Paint the gold nail polish on your sunnies. One coat first. It's okay if you can still see the original color of your sunnies (mine was black and white) You need patience or else it will look like a failure like mine. Wait for hours for it to dry (I swear hours! Nails are different from plastic!) Then you paint again until you are satisfied. It took me almost 5 coats for me to be satisfied. Yes, 5 coats.

 Then, after you are satsified, you paint the gold glitter nail polish (one coat again). Waiting time again. Hahaha. Then, coat it again until you are satisfied. It took me 3 coats.

 When you're satsified with the gold glitter and it's all dry, apply a coat of clear nail polish. This is to seal the deal and to protect the glitters. Also, it adds additional shine which is a great plus!

 I let it dry overnight. Basically after like hours and hours, YOU CAN WEAR THEM AND STRIKE A POSE! 8-)

Now I don't know but I think the lights and the photography does not do it justice. It's much more golden in person! haha! and more glittery. So I overdid it than the real Miu Mius but I like it! And don't be fooled by my sunnies, my sunnies had these bumps and all that that's why it looks weird but if you had the normal flat ones then it will be better. It's just that I'm not using these sunnies anymore like ever! Haha! So I gave it a make over and I feel like I want to wear them anywhere. Haha!

Anyways, if you did this you can email me and I might post your pics on my blog ;)
itssomarkness@yahoo.com

So.. this is my plan for my next DIY.

Will I succeed? Hahaha. If I have time, I'll try to do this! Also, if you have ideas for DIY, share it with me and my other readers!

PS. Don't do this on designer sunnies okay? You don't want to destroy it. Haha. But if you have designer sunnies that you don't use anymore, DIY at your own risk. ;)

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!
