This is the first time I'm gonna post something different. I will not do product review but rather write something about the most talk about event of this year, especially to all Fashionista - the Victoria Secret Fashion Show 2016.
It Starts in Paris
As of this writing, we have 25 days-22 hours-06 minutes to witness the grandiose and magnificent appearance of the Victoria's Secrets Angels Line Up wearing different styles and designs of sexy lingerie and sleepwear, to be held at the Grand Palais in Paris this December 5, 2016, Monday, 10 PM EST.

| A Retsospective: Exhibit their 2015 Runaway at their new 5th Avenue Store |
This is the first time that Victoria's Secret Fashion Show comes to the City of Lights for their Parisian Fashion Show.
WHAT TO EXPECT
 |
| Jasmine Tookes try on $3 Million Bra |
Introducing the $3 Million bra "The 2016 Bright Night Fantasy Bra" designed exclusively for Victoria's Secret by Eddie Borgo. It takes 700 hours in making this bra, because of its meticulous and very precise details: 9,000 gemstones. 450 carats.
See video here, how Jasmine Tookes discover she'll have the honor of wearing the 2016 Fantasy Bra for this year runway show.
I feel sad with the news, that Janine Tugonon misses the slots as one of the Victoria's Angels. It was a nice try Janine, better luck next time.
FINDING THE TALENT
There are 500 girls hoping to be part of the show. A tough job indeed for casting director, Mr. John Pfeiffer.
Good luck and congrats to the chosen one.
Anyway, let us meet the 12 Victoria's Secret Angels Line Up:
CREATING THE COLLECTION
When we talk about VS Fashion, there is a unique and stand up artistic vision behind every look of the models wearing it. The incredible designs and styles come to life as they hit the runway.

I can't tell how many times Chimes Boutiques invited me to be part of their events and activities, but due to a busy schedules, I was unable to attend it. My schedule is always a challenge, but this time I said "YES" to the Rock n' Rola launching held at Chimes - Felcris Centrale.
July 8, 2016 ROLA™ was launched.
Who insist not to go to a FitFlop event, all girls want to be part of this once in a lifetime gathering. When it comes to fashion and style there is always a room for a woman to showcase their desire on a prevailing taste of new creation and design.
#FitFlopForSuperwoman to live up to the idea of a STRONG WOMAN with a sense when it comes to classy fashion, trend, fad, look and mode.

| Sheila Bonifacio-Espinosa Rock n' Rola Attire Winner post together with the Chimes People |
FITFLOP™ is considered to be the most casual of casual shoes. And you can pair it with the clothes you like...NO RULES to follow!
Well, for some others, FitFlop™ get a bad rap. Some will tell you that they're never appropriate. Hey, your very very wrong --- the fact of the matter is, there are times when FitFlop™ are not only appropriate, but they're actually ideal to wear anywhere.
There are 3 groups consist of 3 or 4 members. We are given 5 minutes to dress up a mannequin to a ROCK n' ROLA #OOTD and winners will get a pair of a new ROLA and a special bag from Anthill Fabric Gallery.
Our group got the 1st place, but for us we want to believe that we are the winning group. Why? Well, when we talk about ROCK n' ROLL we usually associate it or pair it with BLACK colors or a BLACK LEATHER JACKET. But for us, modern Filipina --- ROCK n' ROLL can also be associated with different colors. Same us with the concept FitFlop wants to implicate to all their clients --- simple, classy but ROCKIN' in style!

FitFlop is ideal to wear anywhere make it be at the BEACH and EVERYDAY CASUAL WEAR. For some, they wear it at the office (but considering offices had a dress code) you should be aware of the sanctions. But even there's a rule in the office, I see some others bring it with them to their office, easy to slip into a bag, making them great for wearing to and from work, still you have that Professional Look.
The ROLA™ 2016 AUTUMN/WINTER COLLECTION
The event was ended with blast of fun, delicious food and freebies. Special thanks to Ms. Ren of Chimes Boutique for the invites.

What an amazing story appearing on my Facebook timeline, a dress made of a loom band.
Yes! A dress made of a thousand loom bands by Kathryn Burnand, who does not work because of a disability but despite of her situation she decided to make a dress a go!
It was woven together with a 24,000 loom bands for almost 2 months creating an amazing LOOM BAND DRESS. Her multicolored dress with a size 4 was posted by her friend Helen Wright on ebay for a bidding war, with a starting price of £50.
Now it has been bid online at ebay for £170,100.00.
The craze for loom bands has been entirely trending here in our country, the Philippines. And almost of the kids here in my place loves to make bracelets, hair ornaments, ring etc..all are made of loom bands. But this is new, it is very unique and fashionably made.
Though she assert that the dress is not very nice to wear because it is heavy and all the plastic bands are quite uncomfortable to wear as well.
