Well they say... ART runs in our family!   I should've taken up Interior Design in College, but since my ate was already in Fine Arts Advertising in UST... (due to the high cost of art materials... i need to take up another course and that is Accounting) .  Now her eldest son Red is taking up Animation at iAcademy and my niece her youngest daughter Ysl might take up either Multimedia or Visual Design next school year. I am more on designs and styling (i can't really draw people) ... my sister is way better than me!  She can really draw!  And she was able to pursue her dream... Now that she's just a plain housewife and his two children are grown up (1 in college and youngest 4th year high school), she had the time to paint... Undeniably all are really gorgeous! All our relatives and friends who sees her works... admired them... And most of them asks for it! Long wait is over...  She decided to reproduce some of her paintings throu...

Last year I got so addicted to the Hello Kitty accessories at F21.  It was a collaboration of F21 + Hello Kitty + Onch Movement.  I really fell in love with the accessories, but unfortunately it was out-of-stock right away when it was launched here at Forever 21 (SM North Edsa).  Luckily I was able to get the bracelet I have been eyeing online (from Hongkong).   This year Onch movement launches it's new Hello Kitty accessories exclusively available at  www.sanrio.com .  Onch Movement is known for unique and edgy jewelry accessories (and are handmade from the US)...  And I totally love it!♥ Onch x HK gold plated medallion This fab necklace has a matching gold plated bracelet and earrings (sold separately).  It's quite pricey because it's 14K plated: $105.00 for the necklace, $69.00 for the bracelet and $66.00 for the earrings.   Onch x HK candy chrome bow My personal fave! Love the Hello Kitty classic B...

I love accessories!!! And I love what I am doing!!! I really enjoy looking and arranging everything!  

Up to now I still can't believe that the Philippines will experience this kind of disaster (as they say it's one of the signs of global warning).  I feel lucky and blessed: that me, especially my family, relatives and friends are all safe.   Aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda in Tacloban City, Philippines (Photo grabbed online) Watching the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda on the local and foreign news... I can't help but cry (every time I see the footage on tv) that our brothers and sisters from the Visayas region suffered so match... the place was almost wiped out. It was heartbreaking... I can still remember when I was stranded in the office last 2009: Typhoon Ondoy.  Walking home from work the next morning... seeing the devastation... pile of cars/vehicles, trees on the streets and etc.  Yolanda WORSE than Ondoy!  I know WE FILIPINOS can survive this!!! After every storm there's always HOPE!!!   Let's HELP, and of course PRAY!!! With this...

Why Caroline? Well if you're familiar with the US sitcom Two Broke Girls... this necklace was inspired by the one worn by Beth Berhs a.k.a. "Caroline Channing" on the show.  In any outfit that she wore on the show (even her work clothes): she uses this necklace. I really love it! Photo grabbed online: 2 Broke Girls After a few months of drooling over this gorg neckpiece... since I am into accessory making I decided to give it a shot! It was something that I really wanted... so why not try doing it. Spent a couple of hours... and  Tadah! I have made my very own version of the necklace.

I really don't want to get hooked with this bracelet...(coz I know what will happen next)   Pandora jewelry costs a fortune knowing that some of the charms, bracelets are made of sterling silver only.  Charms/pendants costs  ranges from P1,570.00 to P9,000.00.  Got my liking to these cuties: from my sister who influenced me... accompanying her to Pandora stores.. made me also want to have my own... Actually I really wanted the one's with gold but it's too expensive.  The bracelet with gold lock costs a whooping P13,000.00. (way too expensive for me)  I got the sterling silver bracelet instead here it costs around P4,570.00.   For my charms: I wanted something that really describes my personality, places I want to go to, my likes, hobbies and etc. At the moment I have these charms: Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Vintage sunglasses, Pandora Bow bag, Openwork Butterfly swarm charms.  More charms to go!
