My mini-love by iloveBAGS! on Polyvore.com

Cause now I'm broken... by iloveBAGS! on Polyvore.com

Hmm... I'm not really an expert on this matter. But I do know that loving isn't easy, that getting hurt is a part of it. This is no reason to avoid it though since it's probably one of the best experiences one can have.

Diane von Furstenberg always knows how to make women feel and look sexy. This mini dress would perfectly hug a woman's curves. I bet wearing it would make one feel like a modern princess. This set is another entry to Vera Wang's contest. I used the shoes again since I love the color and it looks very comfortable with the thick heels and the fully covered top. urgh I want em.

This is my third entry to the sparkle with Coach contest. I love the shot of the model, she looks so real and uninhibited hence I thought the "just be you" slogan would be perfect for her. I love hats, I don't wear them as much since it's too hot here but I do collect them and I want that Coach beret for myself. As apparent in the outfit, I'm a sucker for pink especially this particular shade. It looks so clean and youthful. How I wish it's not such a hassle to shop online, passing through customs is just annoying and expensive. Online shopping should be tax-free!!!

How I wish we have white Christmas here and it would be perfect. The gorgeous dress is by Karen Millen, love her very feminine creations. The dress kinda reminded me of Sarah Jessica Parker's dress in Sex and the City the movie. Wonderful.

I won 5th place with this set. I'm so happy. My aim is to win first, second, or third since those were the only ones really recognized =) I think I entered it to the gray dress contest. I love this strapless corset dress since it's very unique, it looks very raw and edgy.I love color but this set made me realize that gray is not boring and that it can also be playful and beautiful.

With love...

OMP! Oh my Polyvore!

So after almost half a year of cold turkey from Polyvore, I am back. I've been making sets non-stop sacrificing sleep and delaying school works. It's so addicting!!! I love putting clothes and accessories together. I love browsing through the latest collections from different designers and RTW stores. I also like making sets about art and expression. It's my way of letting out how I feel, if I can't put it in words, might as well create a picture of it. So start creating now. www.polyvore.com
