What Women Want

  Nice clothes. Pampering products. Sexy shoes. Pretty little things. Nice bags. And of course, love. Lots of love.

  Fashion is a lot of fun, but it also compromises a lot of things, like form, function, and comfort.

  Shoes...name me a woman who does not love shoes. Charles and Keith, Aldo, VNC and Steve Madden are four of my favorite haunts. I like Aldo because even if the heels are sky-high, they are so comfortable and they do not punish the back. Nor do they ruin the feet. Charles and Keith have pretty, pretty choices at very affordable prices. VNC and Steve Madden have pretty shoes that comes in different styles. There is a lot to like in these shops.

   I have had a long-standing love affair with La Senza. What was there not to love? Lace, silk, satin, cotton- there was just so much to adore! I fell in love with the pajamas, in materials so soft you would want to lounge in them the whole day. The bathrobes are luxuriously plush and smooth, in white, beige, hot pink and blush. There are tops and loungewear that thankfully do not sacrifice style for comfort. The bras and panties are sexy and flattering and absolutely delightful, spiked with satin and lace, and studded with crystals, with surprising details like the animal prints on the underside of an otherwise very innocent color. Industry talk has it that Victoria's Secret and La Senza have one and the same manufacturer. That is not difficult to believe, and any Victoria Secret's fan will find that out for herself the moment she walks in the door.

   I love Evita Peroni! I think it's the prettiest thing to happen to hair accessories! I first came across this girly shop at Rockwell Power Plant Mall and was totally smitten. The whole ritual of keeping your hair off your face becomes such a pretty little thing to do because these accessories are just so lovely. Yes, they do not exactly come cheap but each item really works the way it was meant to, without comprising how adorable it looks. They have the nicest headbands. Accessories from Aldo and Cru are nice too. 

    Zara clothing has two basic product divisions: men's and women's apparel. It is known for its innovative designs around the world. Over at Zara women's apparel, it's all about being a lady and loving it. The pretty clothes are feminine but not saccharine. Debenhams, Warehouse, Promod and Topshop collections are great too. They offer effortlessly elegance with particular attention to co-ordination and comfort.
