Raviv’s Wardrobe Diary #4: Little Valentino (Feb. 14, 2013)

March 19, 2013 By 2 Comments

After more than a month, maipo-post ko na ang outfitey ni Raviv on V-Day.

I know it’s baduy to wear red on V-Day–but this fashion rule applies only to grown-ups, or even pa-grown-ups (tweens and above).  But not for toddlers.  I think it’s cute for toddlers to wear red on V-Day.  So Raviv wore red on Valetine’s Day.  Here he is:

  • Red polo shirt given by Lola Emma from SM Department Store
  • Denim pants from Stanley
  • Brown booties given by Yaya Isay

Recent realization:  Ang galing pala ng porma ni Raviv ‘coz on the day of love, most of what he was wearing were gifts from the people who love him :)

Wardrobe Diary #38: Jumpsuit on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14, 2013)

March 4, 2013 By Leave a Comment

One of the things (among sooo many) about Randy that make me feel blessed to be his wife is his take on Valentine’s Day.  While many women have to drag their men on dates during V-Day, it is I whom Randy drags.  For him, a date with his wife is a must on V-Day. ;)

Because the UPCAT Results were released late this year, February was a very busy time for us.  We were rushing our tarps, brochure inserts and website with our almost 1,000 UPCAT passers.  We were so busy that I practically forgot to make dinner reservations in hotels in Alabang!  I had to do it because Randy let me choose where to go.  Sobrang sayang, because on Valentine’s Day Sitti serenaded dinner guests of Bellevue while Kuh Ledesma with Jose Mari Chan and Kris Lawrence serenaded dinner guests of Crimson Hotel.  When I called both hotels on February 13, both were fully booked. :(

So we just decided to have a Valentine’s lunch at Marriott Hotel at Resorts World, and go to the UP Feb Fair with the whole household in the evening.

And this is what I wore to our date:

I’ve wanted to wear this jumpsuit from Artista Boutique for a loooooong time.  I love jumpsuits–they’re sassy and sexy, and chic and classy.  And this was the moment!  Here’s a closer look at the rest of my outfit ensemble: [Read more...]

Wardrobe Diary #37 and Raviv’s Wardrobe Diary #3: It’s a Sun-date with Fab Moms & Tots! (Feb. 10, 2013)

February 24, 2013 By 12 Comments

This was a day I looked forward to for a looooong time.  As in.  When the date was finalized I told Randy that by hook or by crook, this date is reserved!  And I was sure glad I blocked it; otherwise I wouldn’t have met my favorite cyberfriends!

For Em (Akira and Everything Nice), Maqui (Familia Kiki), Maggie (Mommy Maggie’s Musings) and I, this was a repeat for I’ve had playdates with them in the past.  It was definitely, definitely nice seeing them and their kids and hubbies again.  Actually it seemed like it was already our nth meeting because I didn’t run out of things to tell them.

But I was also glad I finally saw the mommas behind I Am Aimee Diego (Aimee with the fab curls), Glamma Momma (Erl whom I didn’t have the chance to super chika–next time ha!), The Chronicles of Maia (Faye–pareho ata tayo ng blog inspiration title), Kikay Mommy Sha (she was indeed kikay-riffic!) and Days in a Wagon (Pepper who I initially thought was an artista!).

These fabulous moms and I met at the Ayala Triangle.  Since I’m a certified probinsyana I didn’t know what to expect.  Dang I didn’t even bring Raviv a toy, and our outfits weren’t exactly pam-picnic.

Let’s begin with me.

Wardrobe Diary #36 and Raviv’s Wardrobe Diary 2: The Enchanting Momma & the Enchanting Boy (Jan. 27, 2013)

February 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment

My boy was actually sick when we visited Enchanted Kingdom, thus his kalikutan was significantly diminished.

But may I say again how proud we are of him, that even his doctor was in awe of how mabait Raviv was.  See, a day after our EK trip we finally brought Raviv to his pedia, Dr. Resa de Jesus.  She was surprised that one side of Raviv’s neck was so swollen (and we didn’t even notice it!  Shame on us.  But Doc told us not to blame ourselves—Raviv was robust thus the oversight).  His lymph nodes were fighting off the infection that’s why there was swelling.  Doc Resa said she was sure that it was painful, and that other kids would have wailed like crazy the whole day.  But not our Raviv :’)  Awww anak.  Sana forever kang matiisin.

Anyway, to show you just how matiisin and optimistic Raviv is, here are his pictures when he had a slight fever at Enchanted Kingdom:

'Yan ba ang maysakit?!?

‘Yan ba ang maysakit?!?

‘Di ba parang walang sakit?  Talagang todo japorms pa rin!

So what was my enchanting boy wearing at Enchanted Kingdom?  Let’s take a full body look:

Raviv’s Wardrobe Diary #1: Happy New Year!

February 12, 2013 By 8 Comments

Here I go again– another super late post!  Just a few days before Valentine’s Day I am posting what Raviv wore on New Year’s Eve.  But in fairness to me, Raviv is part-Chinese and hey, kaka-Chinese New Year lang! ;)

I no longer labeled this as a guest fashionista post because Raviv is going to be a mainstay.  Much to my delight, I think my son is learning the rudiments of power dressing.  He is now also open to accessorizing–so much that he always wants to wear his fedora hat and sunnies!

Raviv getting unleashed...

Raviv getting unleashed…

In fact, Yaya Isay reported that during his class’ walking trip to the IRRI Musuem theater, he still refused to remove his sunnies!

Yaya Isay:  Nauntog-untog pa ‘yang si Binggol, Nanay kasi ang dilim-dilim naka-shades pa rin!

Randy’s afraid Raviv might grow up vain.  Actually, that thought is also nagging at the back of my mind.  Arte as I am, I do no want my son to be vain.  Keribels lang kung girl siya.  But not boys.  I remember getting turned off when I saw the guy I used to date checking his reflection every time we pass by a mirror.  I also felt weird when I saw him slathering Pond’s moisturizer to his smooth, rosy white complexion.  I don’t want the same thing to happen to my Raviv, por favor!
