Jason Wu for Target
I was browsing through a couple of my favorite magazines recently, and found ads for the newest designer to contribute to Target’s “Go International” series: Jason Wu. The line hits Target stores on February 5, 2012 and prices range from $19.99 to $59.99. I must admit that I never paid too much attention to his designs before, but I feel that Jason Wu gained much more attention because he’s one the First Lady’s favorite designers. These ads really made me sit up and take notice, because of the colors, prints and especially the purses. What do you think? Have a great weekend!
(Want more? They’ve got the whole collection available to view on Fashionista here. It’s official, I’m in love with this whole line!)

Happy Birthday Mom!
Happy birthday to a wonderful lady, my mum, who turns 70 today. In commemoration, I’m including a picture of when she was in her twenties as a teacher in the Philippines. As you can see, being a fashionista runs in the family. Can you believe her stylish suit was the uniform that teachers wore in the 60’s? We’ll be celebrating her day with an intimate family dinner. Thanks mom for everything you are and here’s to your special day. We love you!
For Those About to Rock (Climb), We Salute You!
Since I didn’t get to enjoy Restaurant Week with my girls last week (they went to a great place called Aloha Sushi and raved about it through texts and comments on Foursquare), I’m posting about an awesome birthday party that my Godson, Max, had last month at a place called Solid Rock Gym out in Downtown San Diego, by Old Town. It’s a gym with huge rock climbing walls of various levels of difficulty. I had always seen the signs about this establishment from the freeway, but never really gave it a second thought. My sister, her husband and even my niece, Mei-Lin, all braved the walls, although Dominic and I were content to just be spectators. Who knows? Maybe someday Dominic and I will be brave enough to climb, and bring my husband to try it as well. Hope you had a great weekend!
A bit too much, right Dominic?
Max, ready to climb!
Waiting for Mei-Lin’s turn.
Look at Mei-Lin go!

I’m not climbing, are you? Maybe next time!
Style Says: Featured Stylist
I was asked recently to be a “Featured Stylist” on a new fashion/shopping site called Style Says. The premise of the site is to make online shopping more enjoyable by offering a community of shoppers, products and stores. Users can navigate the site using three areas: Discovery (new and featured styles of clothing and accessories), Stores (a growing list of stores that they have partnered with), and People (pages of their community of bloggers).
As a “Featured Stylist”, I can then share with users items from outfit posts from my blog that are found in their community of stores. Sometimes I can share exactly what I bought, or something very similar. It’s a fun way to share my online shopping finds with readers of Any Second Now. If users like what they see, they can subscribe to my page and anything I post on Style Says are linked directly to this blog. Check out my page and the pages of other great bloggers on Style Says, and have a great weekend!
New Life

Read about important events with these mags. |
New seasons always breathe new life into pieces I think can only be worn during particular times of the year. Having this blog and learning from all of the wonderful blogs I read allows me to approach my wardrobe differently. I’ve worn these pieces separately during warmer times of the year (here and here). Because of the complimentary colors, I paired them together, but added opaque tights & other darker accessories to help make it feel more like a transitional outfit.
