Okay. A bit of an exaggeration back there, so, I’ll limit it to Manila then.
I keep elbowing teh boyfriend whenever I’d spot someone carrying this particular handbag. I’ve actually lost count, so, you can only imagine his pain with all the elbowing. LOL. I kid. I kid.
The handbag I’m referring to is the Louis […]

I’ve been meaning to pay them a visit so I can have a pair made for myself. I’m even convincing teh boyfriend to have one made for himself, too. It’s frustrating that in the months that I’ve known of their existence, I still haven’t found the time to push through with the aforementioned plans. Darn […]

Posted in Outfits, Style Guide, Manila Street Fashion

Went to an anniversary dinner at Italianni’s, Greenbelt 2 before heading to a GMCI press event (eLBC Direct, Inc.) in T.G.I. Friday’s in Glorietta 3. Good thing that the venue for these two appointments were both in Makati, otherwise, it would’ve been a logistical nightmare. I would’ve probably dropped one. I’m glad things turned out […]

Met up last Friday with girlfriends, Sophie and Phoebe, for an event we’re hoping to put together. I’m pretty excited about it since it’ll be something all you fashionistas will enjoy. Can’t say much right now but I’ll definitely keep you guys in the loop. Coffee, a bit of shopping and time spent rich in […]

Off to run an errand the other day, had to have my specs adjusted. A bit of a fuss, yea, but what can I do? I just had to deal with the situation no matter how frustrating it was. I’m wearing something new, a zip-up shirt dress with hoodie which I thought would be something […]

New Specs | Thursday, January 17th, 2008

So, I got a bit of a scare last Sunday night when my right eye got massively irritated. Good thing that teh boyfriend’s cousin is an eye doctor and had anti-biotics eye drops at hand, which stabilised my eye a bit. I was advised to take off my contacts and have them replaced or, like […]

I attended a family reunion of sorts, welcoming the new additions to the family. I loved the all-Filipino food served in an Al-fresco setting. I played the part of the photographer and listened to one of the most interesting family histories I’ve ever come across. Twas amazing how much old photos were preserved, three quarters […]

Handcrafted Jewelry by Pia Faustino | Friday, January 11th, 2008
Posted in Fashion Accessories, Fashion Designers, Philippine Fashion

I was truly impressed with her talent! Having been in the craft of jewelry-making for over five years — self-taught no less — gives her enough time to test, stretch and perfect her skill, nay, talent! I’m really surprised that she’s only 23 years old!
Pia Faustino invests her time and effort to fulfilling a client’s […]

I found this old big handkerchief, aka bandanna, in a pile of old stuff yesterday. I was thinking of something to wear to a dinner with teh boyfriend’s family last night. I was already half-way dressed, planned on wearing a dress like Sophie suggested but a question stopped me, “Do I want to blend in […]

Posted in Bags, Shopping Guide

I don’t know what came over me but I simply have to have the bag. It’s not like that it’s expensive cuz it wasn’t. It only costs Php 300.00 at Ruins. I’m sure you guys can get it at a lower price cuz a couple of months ago, I saw them being sold in Greenhills, […]
