charmed life♥

Few weeks ago, I went to Louis Vuitton store in Greenbelt 5 to get my Damier Speedy 30 checked.  While waiting for the SA this cutie bag caught my eye.  The Alma Nano .♥  Actually there are other teeny tiny bags on the shelves but I opted to check this one.  I asked the SA's permission if I could take a photo of the bag.  It was so tiny: so if you're using an iPhone 6 or 6+, this is not the bag for you.  It can only fit an iPhone 5 / 5S or any small mobile phone, a lippy and a small purse. The price? It's Php55,000.00. I am a fan of huge bags, because I carry lots of stuff, but small or tiny bags are now invading the "bag world".  Sometime last year I shared my insights about the Alma Epi BB and other Mini bags , really love that bag (wishlist) but of course it is Louis Vuitton, so it's not cheap: it costs around Php66,000.00.   Bag trends from micro, mini and now -- Nano! source: Google Louis Vuitton unveiled their Nano Collection early

Let's celebrate with Plain & Prints' 20th Anniversary in Style!  Got so lucky last Saturday (P&P Preview at Glorietta 1), I was able to get what I wanted.  The Jaipur blouse (P1,398.00) and Taragarh skirt (P1,598.00) from the 20th Anniversary Collection of Plains & Prints. That's the first outfit (left) that Anne is wearing on the photo.  I loved it, super!♥  On their 20th anniversary they collaborated with the premiere Pinoy photographers: Mark Nicdao (Palace of Kings Collection) and Wig Tysmans (Photographic Memories Collection).   Palace of Kings showcases Mark Nicadao's photographs during his travel in India: it's culture, architecture.  Photographic Memories by Wig Tysmans shows the beauty of Baguio in the late 70's and early 80's.   The Palace of Kings is now available in stores nationwide and on their website: www.plainsandprints.com What are you waiting for?  Go the nearest store or you can shop online. 

Hello fashionistas! As you all know I love researching and reading anything about fashion.  I really see to it that I get myself updated on the upcoming trends for the next season.  This also helps me in sourcing the items for my online boutique.  And of course this is my stress buster.  Here are the upcoming trends for Fall/Winter 2015 :  Colder months mean: more dramatic, bold, subtle colors.  Thicker fabrics, coats, jackets and etc. Carwash pleats: the new way to show off your legs.  source: ELLE Fur sleeves : source: Fashionising.com Neo Victorian : Victorian influences for Fall 2015 - High collars, ruffles, precious fabrics and dramatic silhouettes. source: Alexander McQueen/Vogue The Slip dress : This became popular in the 90's (and now making a comeback this 2K15).  Slip dress is a women's dress, traditionally bias cut with spaghetti straps that resembles like an underslip or petticoat.  source: Salvatore Ferragamo/Vogue Sta

Hello July and "Happy 442nd Araw ng Pasig!"  I know I should've shared this yesterday, but I was so busy with work... finishing month end reports. Well, that's the life of an accountant. I can say this year June is a great month for me: new experiences... new friends... had my very first First Blog Collaboration with Miss Eleigh and finding my (our) long lost high school friend (barkada) Elvie. We've been searching for her for years, ever since our entire HS barkada became so active in social media.  Facebook has been a very useful tool in finding relatives, friends whom we have lost touch for years or decades.   For the past 5 months I have been sharing my "aotd's":  accessories that I wore for the whole month.  So here's what I wore for the month of June. June's muse: arm candies in silver, gold and pink gold tones...  Hope you like them! Happy Styling!♥ xo,
