Why do women want to adorn themselves with jewelry? We can’t deny the feeling of enjoyment in wearing necklaces around our necks, bracelets around our wrists, earring on our earlobes and rings on our fingers. We feel a little more pretty each time, yes?
This love for jewelry (real or not) does not come with age or understanding. Even little ones like my 20-month old niece, loves the idea of wearing toy bracelets, my sister’s necklaces and such, too. She always has this sweet smile on her face soon after putting …

It’s amazing that I had the opportunity to check out one of the best bazaars I’ve been to in the South and having had great fortune in buying this precious trinket from Parvatti. You simply can’t help but fall in love with Vintage jewelry if this is the sort of piece that you’d find.
Pearls and that gorgeous rose make up this 58 year old necklace that traveled all the way from Paris to Manila (and is now in Australia, btw). Its timeless and elegant beauty had captured the hearts of …

One of the pieces from Parvatti is this Keyhole Pendant + Pearl chain that my friend, Penny, bought that night at the Christmas Carnivale Bazaar in Ayala Alabang. Isn’t it pretty?
Great thing about vintage items is that it can be really affordable. Apart from the fact that you can sometimes haggle prices, certain items are aptly valued and sold at a fairly decent price. This piece originally costs Php 500.00 but Penny only shelled out Php 400.00 (thanks, Egg!). Good deal, yes?
Not only are you bringing home something unique, you’re …

Fall in love with Vintage through PARVATTI. Accessories and bags.

These days wherein most women are working towards keeping up with the trends and all things modern when it comes to their personal style, the appeal of age and antiques on apparel and accessories aren’t all that popular. Apart from the fact that we do find it intimidating to collect and relatively confusing to pick out which ones have that unique vintage characteristic, we often mistake that wearing the trends will automatically equate to our being stylish. But we all know that it’s not true now, don’t we?
Vintage fashion is …

Yesterday was filled with girl-y flurry (and mishaps) that I simply have got to be thankful to Sophie for being such a great girl to hang out with and Angel who came to the rescue of a damsel in a dress distress. If it weren’t for these two lovely ladies, I wouldn’t have dared to let my hair get wet during Pantene Pro V’s event held at the Hotel Intercon in Makati City. Okay. So, I didn’t really get wet (though someone did fall into the pool as was expected), …

Last Saturday, I decided to check out the Fashionesque Event at F*ART. Twas a fashion exhibit — Happy Andrada creations — and lomography exhibit. Teh boyfriend and I plus a friend trekked (yes, trekked cuz we’re a bunch of southerners!) up north to the shop located in Kamuning, Quezon City. We got a bit lost but I blame the weird street signs. Gah.
Oh, yes. As you can see, I did a bit of shopping whilst there (you’ll soon find out what’s in the bag, hehe). And I decided to air …

Oh, no. I’m not talking about getting married. I just found it a witty title that’s so applicable to this outfit I put together for a night of hanging out with some girlfriends. I’d like to think it’s a vintage item due to its age but I reckon it’s far to young to be one. But there’s a possibility adding a decade or two.
Something Old
Can you believe that the dress I’m wearing is 12 years old? Well, believe it. It’s a gift from my mum and I wore it on …

Who ever said that fashion can’t make political statements? Classic example is a twist given by My Fruit on the slogan ‘Make Love Not War’ then printed it on a t shirt. Why wouldn’t this idea sell here in our country? It’s brilliant, IMHO. We are a t-shirt country after all. I like how they even styled the shirt in some of the photos. They’re re-introducing the punk 80s look with their styling ideas.

How do you get the look?
Choose a shirt a couple of sizes bigger than yours.
Wear it …

From that moment when a woman discovers fashion, the tale of their affair with accessories will be long and old, er, in this case, vintage. Some prefer the expensive frosting but some like them fun and versatile. Of course, not all women can spend their hard earned cash on jewelry even when they wanted to.
Long necklaces have graced the necks of fashionistas since the rise of the trend back in mid-2005. It has been a variety of beads, pearls, crystals and chains. But now, the trend is heading towards the …
