The Devil Wears PRADA + TRESOR CHANEL markdown!


So I finally got to watch The Devil Wears Prada. After missing all those premiere showings, I finally got to see it and boy was I glad!!

It was a nice flick to watch on a warm Wednesday afternoon. BB and I finally got to meet up after almost months of planning to meet up 😀 And here I thought I was actually thin (I am as always deluding myself). Then of course I saw BB’s arms 🙁 They’re so thin and they’re nowhere near the size of my arms (and my famous jellyrolls– and we are not talking cake here!)

Oh bah. We met up at Rockwell for lunch at Myron’s. (Ok so I am loving their steak now. Officially a steak lover).

Bags of the day: My Chanel plum and BB’s baby tweedie Chanel 2.55 (boy were we prepping for the “Andy” role with Chanel bags or what?! *ok no, no role playing involved– I’m not that demented… YET *muwahaha*)

Anyway, I ate so much. We ordered oyster rockefeller and the Paolo steak with FOIE GRAS!! As if the steak was not enough cholestrol right? Yeah yeah go right ahead and add fatty foie gras!! *Muwahahaha guaranteed heart attack, but read on and you’ll realize my cholesterol level will go uphill from here* Then to top off the meal, we went to Crepes and Cream to have the hazelnut banana crepe. Oh Lard (yes, oh LARD). SOOO MUCH whipped cream and ice cream and those chocolate syrup drippings! *gag gluttony* We literally had to run into the cinema with our mouths barely emptied of the desserts (Ok I officially gained 5 pounds today!).

I’m a sucker for good wardrobe and scenery, so the movie was SOOO worth watching. I loved all the *cough CHANEL* clothes, (photo credit: The Devil Wears Prada) the shoes, the bags, the accessories… But bah, not enough bling, but no matter! There were soooo many Hermes scarves all over the place!!! And the Prada!! Tsk. So it’s not just the “devil” who wears it, the Pope wears Prada too (Pope Benedict wears red Croc Prada slippers *whistle!!*), and so do European royals (hello Norwegian Crown Princess Mette Marit, and Danish Crown Princess Mary)! Hmm… Is Prada THE designer brand sans frontieres ? 😀

If you have nothing planned for the weekend, just go see the movie. I think you will appreciate all the accessories like I did 🙂 The outfits were alright– not all were that great, but overall, nice nice nice. I spied Chanel, Fendi, Prada, Nancy Gonzalez bags (yes that turquoise bag peeking below, is a crocodile Nancy Gonzalez). (photo credit: The Devil Wears Prada) Bah, just go see it 😀

After the movies, BB and I parted ways and I had to go and do my household errands. Went to the “market” and woohoo found this: OSTRICH EGGS! Guaranteed Fresh!

I just HAD to buy one of these. What a challenge it will be for us to open it up without ruining the shell. I bought this and planned to feed my whole house with omelettes and huevos rancheros for the next few days *muwahaha.. I told you didn’t I? Sudden death by Cholesterol overdose 😀 hehehe*

So now, here’s the question– how did we manage to crack the egg open? Well, our cook and our driver used a phillips screw driver and a hammer! And they just pounded away at one end of the egg! (I would’ve just cracked the egg open hahaha. With what, I don’t know.. Hmm with my head perhaps. My DM always said I was hard headed. Maybe the egg would’ve cracked on it *muwahahaha*). Hehe my household peeps are amazing! They managed to open up a very small hole and just stirred the egg up inside with a “barbeque” shishkabob stick 😀

Holy, would you look at the amount of egg in that thing???!!!! It could very well feed a family of 20 right there!! (Uh oh and our whole household will be having 101 different egg dishes hahaha). But I have to admit, the ostrich egg omelette tasted quite light and fluffy! And it stayed consistently soft even if we sorta overcooked it! It was yummy!

TRESOR MAKATI
UPDATE:
THIS JUST IN!!! The Chanel Jumbo 2.55 has been significantly lowered from Php 50K to now just Php 40,000!!! This is seriously a great opportunity considering the large Chanel 2.55s now cost about US$2,000 a pop!! I would not have mentioned it here myself if I didn’t deem it so! So at Php 40,000 , it’s a STEAL!!!

P.S. Ohmygosh, so while we watched the movie, my 2 baghag pals from Davao, sisters HT and AG, had sent me a boxful of DURIAN!! Hoolllly Geeeeez!!! AND I also got bagsful of durian candy and HT’s very own macaroons which she had made herself. And as I type now, I am wolfing down macaroons (and I didn’t wanna share with DH *yet* muwhahaha… ok so I’m selfish. But hey, if you can only taste HT’s macaroons, you’d understand why I am being selfish hahaha).

HT and AG, THANK YOU SO MUCH GALS!!! I am sooo loving the loot you had sent me, and I am looking forward to the day when the Durian becomes “fragrant” and ripe to eat! I looove durian! If you hags looove durian, raise your hand 😀 *WOOHOO* Note though, just don’t put your bag next to it overnight 😀 teehee!!

I gotta sleep early tonight because I am attending a super early school event of my kids. Tomorrow I gotta play good mommy coz today I played hokey 😀

Night night hags!! *Sniff* Today, I also had to let the Hermes JPG birkin go 🙁 *sniff* Apparently that bag was the very first croc shoulder birkin they had in the store, and my SA was really thoughtful enough to have offered it to me– and unfortunately, I could not afford it– it’s FIVE FIGURES in DOLLARS!!! (Priorities, priorities. I think even if I had spare $$, I’d still pass on it coz gotta take care of the kids’ education first above everything else *muwahaha my poor children– I’m such a twisted mom!!!*)

And remember peeps: Don’t spend beyond your means 🙂 If anything I know, that much I know. So now, you know why I didn’t buy a new bag in Singapore *muwahaha*. Now is the perfect time for you to BELIEVE me that I am broke! *credit card bills all coming, hello! ding ding collection time boohoo!!*

  1. Mrs T,

    I too caught The devil wears Prada movie! I love love the fashions! I do not mind being “emily” & showered with Hermes scarves while caught in an accident!

    I saw “Andy” carrying a white chanel purse, with the interconnect Cs logo on one side & no 5 on the other side, with a thin red strap as a handle. I cannot seem to locate it in Chanel stores! Please help me! ( oh pls don’t tell me it is not for sale!)

  2. i’ve always known that you had great taste, but you just confirmed it by publicly declaring your love for durian! i, too, love those FRAGRANT (yes, they are indeed fragrant to me, i don’t care what anyone else says) tropical fruits that i miss so much!
