Even Tattoos Are Not Permanent
Celebrities have been going about putting on tattoos about their loved ones in the different areas of the body as a way to put emphasis of how much they love or treasure that person or their relationship. But the question is, should there come a time that, that particular person or relationship has to be cut or has to end, what happens now to that little memorabilia etched at your very skin?...
Janylin: Fairy Godmother of Shoes
Yesterday, I was out and was roaming the mall. I was waiting for someone to finish a meeting, so I decided to window shop for, well, need I say what? Shoes of course! :D
A little background:
I have always wanted (or lusted) to get myself these two pairs. The red Jeffrey Campbell El Carmen Chunky Heels and the Black and White Color Block Wedges.
I sell them at Pomppet (the inspired ones only),...

charleneajose x Pomppet
charleneajose:
Pomppet is a fusion of words “Pomp” and “Poppet”; “Pomp” which means royalty, a display of power and ceremonial elegance, while “Poppet” depicts an endearingly sweet and beautiful woman. Pomppet holds true to its name by providing an array of merchandise from shoes, clothes, and bags to even the best health care and beauty products in the world! It is the store’s vision to make...

The day I almost died.
So yesterday was Chinese New Year. :) We all wore red, and together with my family, some relatives and friends, we all went to Teresa, Rizal to check out a farm.
There was no hint under that bright bright day that something tragic would happen. After seeing the land and some uncomfortable lurches of our stomachs, we started to head home around 1:00 pm.
When we were down on a road in...
Lace in Place
I went all lace last Tuesday and worked on a vintage feel. :)
I seriously need to learn how to put on make-up so I won’t look bland in photos. :(
Nude Blazer from GH. | Japanese Inspired Belt from Mom | Diva Heart Necklace
This Schmug lace top is actually a dress. :) Its hem flows just perfectly above my knees, but I think that it would also look good when paired with this vintage...
Weekend Wonders
Last Sunday, family went out and killed some time in Greenhills before going to Church. :)
It felt weird and surprising to have Dad decide to go somewhere far. We’ve always settled to nearby malls, as not to worry about heavy traffic and extreme difficulty of finding a suitable parking space.
Well, I guess that day was an exception! :D
He even gave little sister and I some moolah to burn!...
Books for All Seasons
Seriously. I really have to find time reading. :(
Juggling office work, an online business and a blog is no joke. So I take one activity at a time.
But just like they say, “If there’s a will, there’s a way!”.
So I am making way for these bulk of sheets to register in my neurons.
Such books are bound, to bound me for a reason! :P

Shoe Stories
I have always loved shoes. I enjoy shopping for them instead of dresses. And I believe that if you have that number of clothes, why should your shoes be any different?
So now on to my recent shoe purchases. :)
Below are the actual photos of the shoes I sell for Pomppet, except that I got them for myself, and two of which are Christmas gifts that I gave to my Mom and sister. :)
Apparently, two...
Nude + Florals
Now that my port’s all fixed, I can post again! Yay! :D
So, I’m posting this outfit I wore I-don’t-know-when to work, probably some weeks ago, but definitely on January. :D
I was feeling dressy that day, so I borrowed this faithful printed ensemble from Mom. :)
I really feel lucky whenever I wear this. I don’t know why. I’ve worn this in an interview in TV5 last...
I am a Daddy's Girl.
Me (via SMS): Pops hello! May basic fashion styling na short course Pops sa SoFA! For 3 months, every Sat morning!
Dad (Pops): Ok yan dalaga q. Pareserve k n ng slot
Me: Sure Pops? Payag ikaw???
Dad: Oo naman basta gusto mo
Oh my! I have the sweetest Dad ever! Of course, this is not yet sure. I have yet to talk to my Mom about this when I get home later. But geez, the idea is making me oh so happy! I love how my Dad is getting all supportive about this interest! =D

Tomorrow is actually the first monthsary of the main event depicted in my 3 Part Search blog.

I have been really busy, both with work and Pomppet, that is why I haven’t filled this blog about things. But I am here now! :D
So last December 10, the company I’m working for celebrated its Christmas Party. It is relatively early...

A Chance at Seeing Real Disney Princesses
I was just going around my normal routine of opening my pc and updating my shop, when this article caught my eye.
I normally blog about trending topics and Yahoo news at work, but since this piece of news is so juicy and so close to my heart, I began to write one in this humble blog.
Yes, I am one of those kids who grew up with Disney princesses playing incessantly on TV, from beta max to VHS...
My baby is born.
Some things are about to change next year, and so I started it ahead of time, and with the first thing I had in mind, I knew it will be all worth it.
So I began to change Pomppet.
Months ago, I have seen this pre-made theme at The Pink Apple Project. And you may call it love at first sight, but I was certain it will belong to me.
The color scheme was what I’ve always pictured with...
Rainbow on Christmas
Hello! Hello! I know, I have a lot of backlogs. :’( I’m so sorry.
My digital camera is actually telling me to delete the photos I have yet to post in here! But not to worry, I would like to compensate by doing a blog about what I wore last Christmas!
Yay! Well, since it’s the season to be merry, I wore something bright and happy! See here! See here! :)
The colors are so...
Marshmallow Test
The office is filled with Christmas spirits, because today’s the day we’ve all been waiting for! :D We will be having our grand exchange gift and of course the revelation of who’s who (we’ve got codenames btw)!
And this is the last office day before the loooong weekend slash Christmas holidays! So it is bound to be one of those more hilarious and fun-filled days, as we...
To See You Again
I haven’t posted for some days, as I was literally busy with Pomppet. I had several meet-ups and I had to speed up my office duties so I can complete the tasks with only less than twenty working days in December.
Well, for those who don’t know yet, I am that girl behind Pomppet. I have started this online shop when I was a 4th year in college. August 8, 2009.
Anyway, I’ll be...

Hi guys! Here I am laying out my outfits for tomorrow’s shoot. No words can express how happy I am right now! I don’t want to spill too much because I wanted my photographer to have a proper introduction (because you know, he’s awesome like that!) and not this overly enthusiastic post. Papa just got home and I asked him again if I could go out tomorrow (just to make sure) I did...
Pomppet Products Batch 2: Out Now!
Yay! The Batch 2 of Pre-Ordered Asian Shoes and Bags has arrived! I have been incessantly tweeting about this for the past 6 hours! Please forgive me if all I can talk about today is this! :D Just a happy seller! :D
Anyway, I got home last night secretly hoping that the products will arrive. They have been shipped last Monday, and according to my supplier, it’ll take 3-5 days before the...
TNRMI Ambassador Search: The Rehearsals
Here’s the second piece of my blog post about the pageant. First was The Photoshoot, and now here comes The Rehearsals.
This practice was supposed to be done earlier than the 5th of December, but was delayed for some reasons. So anyway, here it goes.
That 5th of the 12th month this year, a Monday, I, together with the other candidates proceeded to Fiamma (Fiama?) for the dry-run of the...
Pops of Color Here and There
I was really running late today. I woke up from a sweet slumber at 7:50 AM. I was dreaming of getting something really grand, but as I am typing this bit, I cannot just bring myself to remember. Sad. :’(
Anyway, I probably spent the last hour before leaving the house contemplating what to wear. I literally have no idea what to wear today. I first wore a dress, when I started thinking about...

TNRMI Ambassador Search: The Photoshoot
This post is long overdue, but like everyone else says - “Better late, than never!”
I actually felt the need to post this once and for all because the Christmas Party of our company is over. Yay! :D Haha That may sound sarcastic, but I’ve been dreading it to finish since Day 1, as I was really scared that I might make a fool of myself in front of everyone with this flattering...
Booked to Reading
So last Saturday, our company had its Christmas Party. It was real fun and truly a night to remember, but I want to reserve the details on to a next post. Meanwhile, here are some things that caught my fancy after that wondrous evening.
Yesterday, Sunday, I actually had the nerve to sustain my reading appetite. Heaven knows how long I last read a book. I really need to pour some literature in my...
Corporate Chic
I was having a corporat-ish vibe last week, so I decided to show up at work looking like this.
This top is really light, not the usual long sleeves that will make you sweat if you wear it too long a time.
I also tried going on with neutrals, as I was so peaceful that day. :D I just don’t know why.
On to the details of the outfit:
Blair top from Schmug
Woven belt with pearls...

For the First Time
There are many firsts in this post. So I would like to borrow the cephalocaudal standard, as what I used to practice during nursing assessments. :)
Let us start with the obvious, I just had my hair dyed. Last Sunday, my mom, little sister, and I went to the salon to have our tresses revamped. We do not exactly got the same prepped hair color, as I have another thing in mind.
I want my hair to...
The Asians have landed!
There is this one thought that has been constantly playing itself in my head for days, and that is “What the mind can conceive, the man can achieve.” Absentmindedly, I have been repeating it over and over and maybe its just my way to attract good vibes.
Last night, when I was near home, I thought “Sana dumating na yung Batch 1 ng Pre-Ordered Asian Products ko.” I kept on...
It's a first.
Today was one of the days I never thought I’ll ever have. I just had this skinny body photographed for more than 20 other people in the location to see; but more on that when the photos are already with me.
Anyway, the office will be hosting an event for December 10, and I feel very privileged to represent my department.
This is the look I had for the shoot (hoping the wavy curls, smokey...
Chopped Tresses
Finally, after a year and a month, I decided to have a haircut! Haha :) Mom won’t be able to tease me about being a mermaid. :D
So here is my recent peg, a little layered with side bangs. I hope it works for me though, as I haven’t had bangs since 2009. This ought to refresh things a bit.
The weather is kind of mean to commuters like me lately, so I decided to wear a jacket...
I need these flatforms in my life!
I uploaded this shoe design yesterday at Pomppet, and I just really fell in love with it. I am planning to buy a similar design from Posh Pocket Shoes and Naughty Monkey though, but these flatforms are just so gorgeous!
The modern twist of combining leopard and black, not to mention the upscale of adding a full length straight heel; everything about this pair just spells style + functionality +...
I love Schmug! Surely, you will too!
The Schmug hoarder strikes back again! Here are my recent Schmug online buys!
I have noticed that I really need blazers in my life. They add so much character to an outfit, protect you from the mean cold weather, and they help you wear your favorite sleeveless tops without the worry of showing your unwaxed nightmares! Brilliant, blazers are!
Skirts for all occasions! I bought one bandage,...
