Pasko ng Pilipino

Ibang iba talaga ang pasko dito sa bansa natin. Hindi nakakaligtaan ang mga nakasanayan na. Andito pa din. May mga nangangaroling, noche buena at kung anu-ano pang dito lang matatagpuan sa Pilipinas. Sabe nga, "Christmas is the season of giving." Kaya nauso ang exchange gifts. AT SIYEMPRE, AGUINALDO! :) Eto naman ang madalas inaabangan.
Pero? Wag sana nating makalimutan na, KAPANGANAKAN ITO NI JESUS CHRIST. Magbigay ka ng oras sa mahalagang araw na ito sakanya. Yun lang naman ang hinihiling niya. Yun lang..

Carla's Closet: First Anniversary Giveaway

YAY! This December, my online store (*kilig* to call it that) is celebrating its first year of operations! It's almost unbelievable that it's already been a year since I spontaneously decided to start this whole thing to begin with. Oh, how time flies. It was a pretty good first year for me, a newbie in the selling aspect of online shopping (but a pseudo-veteran of sorts in the shopping part, HAHA!), and because it's almost Christmas and it's the season of giving, I would like to share the splendidness of such a joyous occasion. :)


YES, A GIVEAWAY! HURRAH! :) 

I have collaborated with other awesome stores to make this giveaway more exciting. YAAAAAAY. 

Thank you very much, sponsors!

The original plan was to make this a one-time big-time sort of giveaway, which means there was only supposed to be one winner for this lovely assortment of prizes. But the sponsors who sent me stuff gave me overwhelmingly several prettier items, and so the original 10+ prizes became so much more! YAY! *spreads cheer and love for the sponsors* 

This means that for this awesome celebration, there will be three winners drawn via Random.org (see details at the end of this post) who will win these awesome prize packages:

The Third Prize includes: 
(L-R from top)
A cream silk top from Plethora Shop
A knit black top from Clothes Basket
A vintage lace blouse from The Fab Grab
A golden belt from Carla's Closet 
A dusk green jacquard weaved tote from Clothes Basket
A pink Joana two-way bag from Izzo Shop (see specs here)

The Second Prize includes:
(L-R from top)
A mint green cardigan from Plethora Shop
A floral summer dress with wooden buttons from Clothes Basket
An Indian summer patterned orange top from The Fab Grab
A turquoise cropped tee with stitched floral details from Carla's Closet
A Bedazzled BFF crocheted bracelet from Nikita Accessories
A lavender Joana two-way bag from Izzo Shop (see specs here)

And last but definitely not the least, the First Prize includes: 
(L-R from top)
A midnight floral blue dress/tunic from Plethora Shop
A sheer cream long-sleeved top with sequin buttons from Clothes Basket
A floral black casual dress with lace from the Fab Grab
A striped day dress from Carla's Closet
A sweet pink crocheted bow necklace from Nikita Accessories
A Molly Camera Satchel from Izzo Shop (see specs here)
A thick wool plum short-sleeved turtleneck top from Fashion Details
A printed scarf from Christine Angela Shop

AND

...Two hundred pesos worth of gift certificates from FBTL Manila!
(Actual GCs with official card code to be sent to the winner's e-mail!).


This set below on the other hand - 1 purple double-tip pen and a teeny blank cahier-type notebook from Muji that you can bring around + a lovely leather Betty bag from Fashion Code 101 - is a special prize to be given to the person with the best and most creative answer to the question below. :) So here's to hoping someone who loves to doodle and write random thoughts down in class or at work will win this happy notebook and pen that should fit in this awesome bag! :D Yay. So get creative! Be honest! :) Feel free to answer in a poem, a rhyme, or what have you.

Buhay ng isang blogger

Pano nga ba maging blogger? Simple lang. Magpakatotoo ka. Yun lang yun. Huwag kang mahihiya sa kahit sino mang makabasa nito. Yan ang sikreto. Wag kang magpa-impress. Mag-express ka. =))
