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

Ordering Cath Kidston Online (2016 edition)

07.27.2016 by Leah //

Longtime readers of my blog know that I heart everything Cath Kidston, and that I've bought most of my CK items online.  Thanks to my Cath Kidston sisters Ellen and Diane, who are also avid CK collectors and online shoppers like me, I was able to get the mugs, bags and other CK accessories that I like - straight from the UK shop. Even when the first Cath Kidston opened in ... READ MORE

Bag Crush: Cath Kidston’s Bowler Bag

I've always wanted to own a classic bowler bag, so you can just imagine my excitement when I saw that my favorite British bag brand has come up with one, in its signature design and material (PVC coated cotton): Cath Kidston's version of a bowler bag is perfect for me who doesn't like high maintenance bags and would like to enjoy it for everyday use.  No luxury leather ...

Holiday Highlights {2015}

12.30.2015 by Leah //

For the first time in many years, I started my Christmas preparations late.  As in really late.  If not for our week-long break due to the APEC summit held in Manila last November, I wouldn't be able to start wrapping gifts. Swamped with work and project deadlines, I skipped decorating our apartment for Christmas.  I thought I'll have to forego Christmas shopping as ... READ MORE

A Rustic Modern Look for ‘The Bright Spot’

08.09.2015 by Leah //

A big shout out to those who expressed appreciation of my blog's new look.  It was actually a project I've listed for 2015 but kept putting off because I couldn't decide on the final details. For sure, I wanted less colors na for the blog.  Not that I didn't like the "Cath Kidston / tea party" look that defined The Bright Spot for the past 2 years (read about that makeover ... READ MORE

Cath Kidston’s Summer Sale!

06.11.2015 by Leah //

Check it out, ladies!  Cath Kidston's biggest sale (of the year) is now on!  Just click on the banner above and start shopping away! I haven't decided yet if I will buy from this sale, but seeing that there are lots of items marked down at 40%, I might just swipe my credit card away! Thankfully, I am eyeing only 1 item - a cup and saucer set - but I wanted to get 6 of ... READ MORE

A Look At Manila’s DreamPlay (by DreamWorks)

AJ and I had our pre-anniversary dinner at City of Dreams Manila last weekend, and we took this opportunity to check out DreamPlay, the world's first edutainment (education + entertainment) center that features interactive environment for both kids and adults, using the very latest digital technology. Look, there's Hiccup and Toothless! A lot of people were having ... READ MORE

Love Love Tulisan Indonesia

05.22.2015 by Leah //

I'm having some kind of Cath Kidston withdrawal.  Proof?  I haven't been stalking their website for 3 weeks already haha! It used to be that I check the Cath Kidston website every week, not exactly looking for something to buy but just to window shop. Big thanks to my Cath Kidston sisters - Mother E and Diane, I was able to build up my Cath Kidston collection that fast ... READ MORE
