I received this lovely, handcrafted clutch last week from my sister-in-law's sister-in-law, Mba Dyah, who is Indonesian and is one of the sweetest ladies I know (Hi Mba Dyah!). The clutch is by Tulisan (which means "handwriting" in Bahasia Indonesian), a well-known local brand in Jakarta that carries "a collection of handmade, limited-edition illustrated prints that are ...

On budgeting household expenses
How do you budget your household expenses? I do it the very traditional way - through the "envelope system". Yes, these are the actual budget envelopes that I use. They are made of recycled mail envelopes, prettified with craft papers and alphabet stamps I got from Divisoria last year.

Ordering Cath Kidston Online + Johnny Air Service
I still can't get over my excitement of finally owning Cath Kidston bags, which were purchased straight from their store in UK! I'll be honest here, and tell you that my experience was not entirely pleasant. By that I mean it was not totally stress-free.

Overall, it's been a month full of surprises for me - both at work and here at The Bright Spot. The announcement at work still surprised me even though I knew about it for months ... READ MORE
Food Post: Early Bird Breakfast Club
I'm not new to the Early Bird Breakfast Club. We used to frequent this whole-day breakfast café at their maiden branch in The Fort, BGC. Now that it has opened its second branch at the new Century City Mall in Makati, there's no more need for us to travel all the way to Taguig. The Century City Mall is just a 5-minutes drive from our home, so having a breakfast dinner here ... READ MORE
Link of London’s Rose Gold Vermeil Skull Friendship Bracelet
There's something about skull charms that I find enchanting and cute. Maybe its the punk rock appeal, or because Alexander McQueen made it look so chica. And this new skull friendship bracelet design from Links of London does not only look trendy cute, but classy with its rose gold vermeil coating as well! ************** Shimmer in skeletal style with this Rose Gold Vermeil ...

Oliver & Maude
By now, you must be very familiar with Oliver & Maude and its monogrammed Plexiglas vanity tray that has graced countless Instagram posts, and is perhaps one of the hottest items to have in your home right now. Photo borrowed from Oliver & Maude's Instagram. I've been stalking Oliver & Maude's shop since it opened in April last year. But I couldn't decide on what ... READ MORE
