THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Gotta love Bangles!

08.21.2011 by Leah //

If you are a follower of The Bag Hag’s blog (like me), you’d know that she’s just been to India and has shared marvelous pictures from her trip.

I was totally enamored with the structural beauty of the places she’s been to, and was totally awed at how they were preserved for us later generations to appreciate.

But of course, as a jewellery lover, what captured my attention most were the jeweleries she featured on her trip to the Gem Palace.   My eyes were glued to these bracelets and bangles adorned with real diamonds (photo credit:  TheBagHag.com):

They reminded me of these bangles I have collected.   I love collecting bracelets (although I rarely wear one, hehe).

There was this shop at Glorietta before called “Asian Finds” from where I bought some of my bangles.   They remind me of the jewelery bangles from India.   The shop is itself a fusion of Asian finds:  bangles from India, bags from Thailand, jewelry with rubies from Burma, etc.

My collection started with these bangles bought from Asian Finds.   I think they’re vintage already because they’re more than 8 years old.     Too bad some of the little square “mirrors” have fallen off already.

Meanwhile, I got this very stylish bangle with bell dangling charm from my mom, who got it from a flea market in New York:

I love these gold-finished bangles that I bought also from Asian Finds, and have worn them at the office for a few times.  They never fail to get complements from my colleagues.  The details are really nice, and the bangles have not tarnished a bit throughout the years:

Lastly, my mom also bought me these rose gold-colored bangles (I think they’re from Forever 21) and they’re great for evening parties because they shimmer like the old world diamonds (which have more carbon traces than the diamonds we have now):

Now, why am I loving these bangle bracelets?   I think this blog post from The Jewelery Blog said it best.  To quote a few:

“Bangles make ones eyes turn to the hands of the person and observe their movement.”

“…they definitely do the trick at catching ones eye.”

Gotta love them indeed!

We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes an We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes and french toast of @grampancakesph without going out - thanks to @grabfoodph ! I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
