Hello my loves!  Last February 1, Plains and Prints launched their "The Language of Fashion" Spring/Summer 2017 Collection.  Their SS 2017 collection consists of three sets the Amalfi, Siena and Lille.  Amalfi Collection was inspired by the breathtaking coast at Amalfi a town in the province of Salerno in the region of Campania, Italy. Siena Collection ( Fun and Fancy Collection) was  inspired by Siena a city in Tuscany, Italy.  The historic center of Siena has been declared by UNESCO as a world heritage site. For Plains and Prints : "Travel inspires fashion.  It is in places and destinations our creatives mostly get their inspirations..."   Here are my picks for their newest collection: This one piece off shoulder playsuit was the signature dress for their SS 2017 collection.  I am not really into off shoulder dresses or tops but we'll see... This is not yet available in-store and online but will probably give it a try ...

Hi planner lovers like me!  I have been meaning to share this for a long time, but really didn't find time to take photos of them...  I was spring cleaning my bedroom before the Chinese New Year: of course I need to rearrange and clean all the things in my book shelves...  I realized that it's the perfect time to take some photos of my Starbucks planner collection... This was my very first Starbucks planner which started it all! Black leather planner and the pen is still intact.  Due to my excitement that time, I used this planner as a Recipe book.  I wrote all my favorite recipes from cakes, pastas, and of course the popular "puting embutido" which was passed on to me by my Lola Luming.   Here is - what's inside the black leather planner cover...I really love this planner, the quality of the leather is superb, imagine this is 10 years old but it's still gorgeous.  And aside from the thick pages of the planner the page design was amazi...

Hello everyone!  It's almost Chinese new year, so let me be the first one to greet you and my Chinese friends - "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Mandarin) or "Gong Hey Fat Choy" (Cantonese).  No, I am not Chinese, I'm 100% Pinay (though I am often mistaken as one), but through the influence of my Chinese friends I became so drawn with their traditions every New year,  I am also into : reading Chinese astrology and things about feng shui : "wala naman mawawala (nothing to lose ) if you follow them..." I am a Metal Boar!  Even though I was born in 1972, Chinese new year during that year was on February 15: so my animal sign is  Boar instead of Rat.  2017 is the year of the Fire Rooster : of course I have already researched what are the things I need to look forward to for my animal sign.  For the past years, I have followed some of the cures, remedies and enhancers but of course the most important of all is that I pray for a prosperous,  fruitful and ...
