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

Late Post: Shopping in Tokyo
My 5-part Tokyo travelogue is still getting the most number of visits and search hits in the blog (thank you!), and this made me realize that I left one more good stuff to share about that trip - the shopping and my shopping finds!

Exploring Tokyo, the DIY Way (Day 1)
The hubby and I just spent six (6) full-packed days in Tokyo last week, and this being our first trip together abroad (and our first time too in Tokyo), we wanted to make the most out of our stay by visiting as many places as we can, try as many authentic Japanese food as we can, and - a "must" for me of course - stop (not shop) at every Hello Kitty boutique I can find there ...

Remember the Roots Tri-Fold Clutch Wallet in Tribe Leather that AJ bought for me as pasalubong from his trip in Canada 2 years ago? It has gotten better with age! After 2 years, it's now sporting a weathered look and a naturally developed patina that is truly beautiful to look at. Just like the wrinkles in the face of a weathered explorer tell a thousand tales, ... READ MORE
