That's what my Home design personality according to  HomeGoods .  I took the style quiz on their site and after choosing 5 images, the result was: YOU ARE SOCIALITE!   Here's result of the quiz: Who is Socialite? "The Socialite knows two things very well: luxury designer deals when she sees them and how to have fun! She likes to see and be seen. She's into high fashion, and yes, she is absolutely in the "in" crowd. She has an energetic fervor to her decorating, and she works hard to fill her home with the very best things."   How to style Socialite ? First step: Brilliant textures and layers, pops of rich colors like deep plums and magentas, and high-end, lavish touches at every turn. Designer trick: Mix in animal print ottomans for a playful way to store your favorites. Fresh idea: Use a paper towel holder to hold—and display!—your favorite bangles. Actually  I  am really a lover of fashion... and that is really my

According to Pope Francis on his Meeting with the families in MOA: If you have a problem, a difficulty write a note a place underneath St. Joseph so he can dream about it.  In other words: 'pray for this problem'. Finally I have my own Sleeping St. Joseph,  very timely because it's his feast day on the Thursday, March 19. :) Novena Prayer to St. Joseph Glorious St.Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, to you I raise my heart and hands to implore your powerful intercession. Obtain for me from the gentle heart of Jesus all the help and graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly the grace of a happy death and the favour I now implore.. O guardian of the word incarnate, I feel animated with confidence that your prayers in my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. O glorious St.Joseph, through the love you bear for Jesus Christ and the glory of His name...Amen

It's been a while since I went out with my high school friends.  Actually I have 2 groups of HS friends: 1 is my original "barkada" the SqRt gang and 2 the Kindness group.  The Kindness group was formed only last 2008 when our school celebrated it's 100 years. Why Kindness? Because that's our section in second year.    I'll be writing about my dining experience at California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) with my Kindness group GF's.  Before I used to go to either Edsa Shangrila or Makati... now they have a branch in Eastwood City.  I love CPK!  It was my cousin from Singapore who introduced me to that resto, he invited us for a late snack back then.  For somebody who loves pasta and pizza... it's really a hit! My all-time CPK favorites: still getting my 5 stars score . Fettuccine Garlic Pasta + Chicken : is my ultimate all time CPK fave!♥♥♥♥♥ Their to die for Spinach Artichoke dip: ♥♥♥♥♥  and my friends loved it too! We also

Time for a closet update this SUMMER? Every season I always look forward on the latest designs of Plains and Prints, especially when they have a Preview event. (make it a point to be there)   You get to see their latest collection and be one the first to shop before anyone else.  This year they are also celebrating their 20th year.  So that means I have been a loyal customer of this famous and much-loved local brand for twenty years already.  Well, I have their Partnership card... (Perfect partnership, right?! - haha!) Got this invite yesterday when I visited their shop in Edsa Shangrila Mall, actually  I also got one via email.  (excited much!)  Preview will be on March 13, 14 and 15 at Edsa Shangrila mall their store is located at the 5th level as well as in Trinoma, Ayala Center Cebu, SM Lipa and SM Davao.

Photo credit: Google Photo credit: Google I got so overwhelmed when somebody asked me about the brand of the two other bags that Ms. Kris Aquino shared on her blog .  Actually, I just commented on her Instagram about her Andy Hindmarch's smiley bag and then one of her followers then asked me, what's the brand of her green and red bags.  Yes, I am a certified bag lover.  I may not be able to buy those luxury bags but I really love reading and updating myself about them.   So for her green and red bags: they are Hermes Victoria or Hermes Victoria II .  It was from Spring/Summer 2007 collection of Hermes. Made from clemence leather with canvas lining.  It is available in two sizes: 35cm and 40cm. Are you a bagaholic also like me?

Did this bag made you smile also?  Super cute bag featured by Ms. Kris Aquino on her website/blog ( http://www.withlovekrisaquino.com/ ).  What brand of bag is this?  Well, it's Andy Hindmarch , she is an English fashion accessories designer.  The designer behind the "I'm not a plastic bag" tote.   It's a "feel good" bag! It really brighten up my day when Ms. Kris posted this on her Instagram account and blog.  Like her I like bags also.  (not really on shoes...) Bags are so personal: you feel connected to them because it's our everyday companion.♥

French fashion house Chanel has released (actually they have already presented these on PFW: last quarter of 2014 ) their Spring / Summer 2015 costume jewelry collection.  What I love about Chanel is that it's classic and elegant .  If you can recall last year (I do this every season) I also wrote something about their Fall / Winter 2014-15 Collection . The following dominated the entire S/S 2015 collection of Chanel: metal, tweed, precious stones and of course pearls embellished with their brand signatures, iconic logos .  On their previous collections they have introduced jumbo pearls, grocery inspired accessories, crescent moon: this season it's more of "Slogan" or "Statement" embellished beauties. Here's a rundown of my choices from their Spring/Summer Collection 2015 . Metal + pearls in Matte gold: Metal cuff and necklace embellished with Chanel
