Roll-up Piano

$58 at Fred Flare.

I miss playing the piano but my piano is in my grandmother's house. I left it there when I moved into a new house because there's no way I can fit it into anywhere in my tiny house. I was delighted to know that there is actually a roll-up piano that works like the real thing. 

You just lay it on a flat surface and you are ready to play.

It can be rolled neatly when your fingers get tired of playing.

This flexible roll-up piano definitely goes in to my wishlist. *Wink*

Sparkling Tattoos

If there is one thing that I will never do, it is having a tattoo.  I don't like needles puncturing my skin to inject ink. Just thinking about it already hurts. If you have the same thinking as I am about tattoos, an alternative is this Marbella crystal adhesive tattoo.  It sparkles and it is removable.  

Like it?  It is available at Luisa Via Roma for $60.  Other designs are available.

Interior Design Options for Christmas

I saw the catalog of Our Home in SM for their interior design options for Christmas.  They featured at least four color schemes but I especially love these two:

My favorite color is blue and this living room design is what I have been trying to achieve in my own living room.  I love the cream sofa and dark wood furniture on blue wall.  It is so refreshing to look at.  I can just remove the Christmas decors and it still looks great for the Summer.

Purple is a luxurious color and I like that even after the Yuletide season it would still look great for living rooms.

Cute Ballet Flats

I am trying to stay away from high heeled shoes because of severe backache and my plantar fasciitis so I am looking for cute flats as alternative footwear.  I have found these Christian Siriano 'Royalty' ballet flats that are so cute and I am already thinking of wearing this with leggings and tunic--a la Audrey Hepburn. You can buy these at Payless for $34.99.

No Shoes

I went to two shopping malls the other day to buy shoes but I went home empty handed.  I am really choosy when it comes to shoes--the heels should be the right height, not really elaborate, comfortable like it was really molded on the cruves of my feet and not too expensive.  I tried on several shoes but they do not have my size.  I was really sad when I went home.  I guess I will have to try my luck next week.  In the mean time, I will just have to suffice myself to looking at the most beautiful shoes in the web.

By the way, those turquiose maryjanes are from Anthropologie and it sells for $95.
