Happy Dada's Day!


Today we focus the spotlight on Berry's Dada, aka Mr. MFO (heehee).

A couple of days ago, I told him "Hey, for the first time I like your outfit, pwede na kita i-feature!"

Well, I was just teasing him really, because Dada really dresses nice for work and play. He loves wearing Brooks Brothers suits and Italian oxfords or monk straps to power meetings. His business casual days are all about slim shirts and slim chinos. Weekends are for J.Crew shorts and his pique shirts. He still wears Børn slip ons with jeans (slim cut, of course) though, but he likes them, so ok, fine.

He lets me wear leopard print sandals and my studded Miu Mius which he finds too West Coast for his New England prep aesthetic. But in a relationship, it's really about give and take. Of course, Berry gets away with anything. Even pink zebra print pants which she paired with her Tres Chic shirt (told ya it's a fave!)...


...and her all-natural Hopscotch Kids nail polish in Red Rover, Red Rover (she chose this outfit herself, down to the color of her toes). Incidentally, Berry & I brought in Hopscotch Kids to Manila, and I will tell you more about this wonderful line of baby and pregnancy friendly water-based nail polishes, soon!


Now, back to Dada. I won't wax poetic about his traits any more, because words will never be enough. Let's just say Dada is the husband I prayed to God and St. Joseph for and the best Dada in the world (Berry even composed a song for him which goes like this, "Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Daaa-ddy!" LOL). 

Not only is he first and foremost a wonderful family man, he is also accomplished, brilliant and astute. Not to mention, he is quite the stylish man. So, our Father's Day gift to Dada is a monthly feature on his style! Yihee! Chic Boy (short for chicken baboy, joke)!

I would also like to greet Daddy Henry (Angkong) and Daddy Efren (Lolo) a Happy Father's Day!




Thank you for all the life lessons you taught us. We love you Daddies!

Confession: I Bought Shoes...

2 Pairs actually! Heehee!

And you know what, I'm not even guilty about it because they're so cheap! Besides, I'm about to pop soon and my shoe size stayed the same all through out. No swelling too. Hope nothing changes until I give birth. Plus, the shoes I bought are made from fabric so these will stretch for sure if need be...

Here's pair #1:



Got these espadrilles for $4.99 at the Brooks Brothers Outlet store in Hershey, PA a couple of weeks back. While they are super comfy and cushioned inside, I don't think they really are made for walking, unless its on the beach or the boardwalk. City streets are very unforgiving, I actually have to bring my winter boots and my Lanvin flats for repair to the Leather Spa on 55th. Soon soon when I'm not too lazy to lug around 3 pairs of shoes, ugh! So for now, while I love these espadrilles, I only wear them around the house, heehee!



Now about pair #2: Yesterday, my friend Xsa visited from PA, and we went out to run errands. I was wearing my French Sole flats and while I love them, when we stopped by Whole Foods we saw the Toms shoe section and I just had the urge to try a pair on. They were so comfy and light! I love how it has a leather lining inside so even if the uppers are made of fabric, it feels a little bit luxurious when worn. Oh, and since Xsa and I bought a pair each, we feel good knowing that there are two kids in need of shoes who will get a pair of Toms as well!

Between my two new pairs of shoes, I think Toms would be the perfect summer pregnancy shoe! Or a mommy shoe! A pair of Toms would be perfect for when I'm pushing Berry's stroller when we go out for short walks! =)

Xsa and I got these Madras ones...



My feet are officially on a summer state of mind now =)
