Chogokin x Hello Kitty Action Figure

06.17.2018 by Leah //

My brother is a big collector of Japan-made robots, and for my birthday last year he surprised me with this limited edition Banda Tamashii Nations Chogokin Hello Kitty (the blue version). I didn't know that Hello Kitty now comes in action figure, hehe!  It's so cool, and the fact that I can play with it is a big plus!  It's definitely an adult toy because of the tiny ... READ MORE

Ken Samudio’s Matthew and Melka

06.15.2018 by Leah //

Sometime last May, I went to a Matthew and Melka private trunk show and there I was able to see and try the much talked about Fleur de Lis floral earrings that literally started the earring buzz here in Manila. The brand Matthew and Melka was created by Ken Samudio, an accessories designer who is the first Filipino to be selected by Vogue Italia as one of the Vogue ... READ MORE

You will now see the trust mark that is the green padlock and the HTTPS upgrade at my URL address. Yes.

Review: Cath Kidston’s 25th Anniversary Clutch and Mini-Purse

04.08.2018 by Leah //

My favorite British brand, Cath Kidston, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year 2018, and to mark this milestone event, a limited collection of bags, purses, clothes, among others, was released under their '25th Birthday Collection' issue. The drool-worthy anniversary collection pieces are now available online, and this much I can tell you: all  items from the ... READ MORE

Exploring Kyoto + Osaka, the DIY Way (Day 5)

03.31.2018 by Leah //

We spent our last day in Osaka at Universal Studios Japan (USJ).  Despite having explored already some parts of USJ the previous day (see related post here), AJ and I still went there early.  We had a quick breakfast at a McDonald's restaurant we found just outside USJ, before starting our day there. The early morning crowd was kinda thick already - even at 9:00 a.m. I am ... READ MORE

Exploring Kyoto + Osaka, the DIY Way (Day 3)

02.10.2018 by Leah //

After 2 full days in Kyoto (with side trip to Nara), we are now ready and excited to explore our home base, Osaka! Since AJ and I are both history buffs, we dedicated our 1st day to learn about Osaka's history.  And the best way to do that is to tour Osaka Castle! Touring the castle grounds alone would already take the whole morning, with approximately 60,000 square meters ... READ MORE

Exploring Kyoto + Osaka, the DIY Way (Day 2)

12.24.2017 by Leah //

Day 2 of our trip to Japan last November involved another long commute by train, this time from Osaka to Nara.  We left our AirBnB hostel at 6:00 a.m., and was at Shin-Ōmiya Station a little after 7 a.m.  We had breakfast at one of the few open cafes inside the station. The clue to our destination that morning is in our latte art: Our plan was to spend half-day in Nara ... READ MORE
