Twilight?

Just a quick post...

Yes I know it's Christmas and everyone's supposed to be "nice"...

But seriously?

Koi for Today

I never understood why people say "once you get a tattoo, it won't be your last", not until Paulo and I had our first tattoo. I remember I was first adamant to get one because a) my mom will kill me; b) i knew it hurts like crazy; & c) i might not like it and end up living with tattoo stains on my foot.

Fast forward, 1 year after im happy i took the plunge in getting one. My mom for one just stared at it and just acted as if it didn't exist. I have the lowest pain threshold, but surprisingly I was able to endure it.

After that one tattoo session we had (i got myself a butterfly, ya i know its common; P had my name, weeeh), Paulo got another one in about a couple of months after (latin phrase), and yesterday, he got one again...



He got a Koi fish for his arm... The design was actually researched through the internet, and executed by tattoo artist Ronald Buenaventura.



The actual process took about an hour and a half.

I didn't get a picture after, i thought it wasn't picture-worthy, with all the bloodstains, and swelling around.

Now, im actually researching what design should I get the next time...

Solange Azagury Partridge

Over the years I've managed to accumulate rings, handed down from my grandma's and mom's vintage collection, cracker jacks sourced from Ebay and Russ Berrie plastic rings. Rings have always been my choice of jewelry, adding spunk to the whole outfit without looking "too made up".

Solange Azagury Partridge creates magical and to die for pieces which she sells in her London & recently New York shops. Made from precious, semi-precious stones, metals, enamel etc. her work has been spotted on rockstars and celebs alike.



One thing i love about her work is that her pieces are not initmidating. Her jewelry looks luxurious but doesn't look too "matronly" thinking these pieces are huge and chunky.



Her themed pieces are a statement to her creativity,and her wild imagination.



Designs that can both be appreciated by the younger and older generations...



Fun and quirky yet timeless and classy.







Hay, and the list goes on and on...

Oh so Pink Birthday!

I just had the biggest surprise of my life! For my birthday P got me this...



An Acer Aspire One in coral pink!

I have two kinds of wishlists, the dream one and the reality one. While shoes, bags and books tops my "reality" wishlist, a pink laptop is on my "dream list".Haha! So imagine my surprise when I received this gorgeous baby!

Thanks honey! Promise I won't lose it...haha!

Pinoy Pride

I regularly visit Sea of Shoes for my regular dose of envy with these mother-daughter extensive shoe collection. Amazing drool-worthy shoes I can never afford. Haha! So imagine when I checked the site and guess what the gorgeous mom was wearing... A Czarina Villa dress!



"My mom wore a beautiful dress made by Manila designer Czarina Villa-she was so kind as to send me some of her designs and they are absolutely incredible. Expect a more in-depth post on those pieces soon!"

Now that's what you call pinoy pride.
