Hear ye, hear ye! Jean & Rosz Winners are here!

-
September is always a fun month here at Frannywanny.com simply because this blog is turning a year older again!

I can't believe it has been 3 years since I first wrote about my Angel's Kitchen experience and the rest continues to follow. From then on, I've visited more than 200 restaurants here and abroad, launched more than a dozen contests and met a number of great friends and readers. For this, I am very very thankful. :)

To share my blessings and happiness to everyone, I am pleased to announce the winners of the recently concluded blog contest featuring the up and coming fashion bloggers Jean and Rosz! We ran a contest for 3 whole weeks asking my dear readers this simple question:


"Who's your favorite fashion icon and is there a particular fashion trend that you love?"


We got a lot of amazing answers and I left the judging to Jean and Rosz who carefully went over each entry before finally choosing the winners! Congratulations to the following girls:

1) Winner of the Nylon Necklace is : torque15
Fave fashion icon - Sandra Bullock! She's my fave HW actress too! I think she takes laid-back to another level! Her laid-back fashion exudes a girl-next-door aura but still speaks composed elegance - be it in movies, on the red carpet, running errands, in an interview.. And her perfect accessory - a sparkling smile which is contagious! She's such a darling. Go Sandy!

Fave fashion trend - lovely neckpieces :) Love to flaunt the decolletage/neckline and show off the sexy neck curves. I feel beautiful and sensuous when I have a necklace on, it seems the world is at your beck and call, with one subtle arching of your head :)

2) Winner of the Double Wing Necklace is : d a e a r
Avril Lavigne rocks! I like her young grungy style and I too love to experiment with make-up with a dash of emo/gothic style.

Love chunky bangles! They heighten my usual get-up, which isn't much for a teen on a budget :) Loved reading your post about those!

3) Winner of the Earrings is : Lauren
My favorite fashion trend has to be knee-high socks! They can make a simple top-and-shorts ensemble look more interesting, plus they do a great job of keeping your legs warm when it's cold and rainy.

4) Winner of the Neutrogena Ultrasheer Waterlight is : czaroma
Classic and timeless, Audrey Hepburn and Daphne Osena-Paez, are my favorite fashion icons. Their styles breathe confidence, poise, sophistication and natural grace.

I go for the comfy smart-fashion look where I can mix-and-match pieces of clothing. I particularly enjoy those flat shoes, fashionable belts and oversized sunnies. I also love those tutu skirt fashion for my daughter :)

5) Winner of the Neutrogena Ultrasheer Sunblock is : Michelle
I don't have one icon or trend that I follow since I dress based on my mood and occasion. I love the styles of:
Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O., Cameron Diaz and Jessica Alba.
They sum up what I like which is clean, classic, feminine yet slightly funky and casual.

Congratulations to the winners! Kindly expect an email from me within the day on how to claim your prizes. :)

Thank you to Jean and Rosz for helping me run this contest!

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic
