THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Tagged with Love!

08.30.2015 by Leah //

Sorry I have been filling up this blog with mostly shopping finds!  But they're all good stuff, anyway so I hope it makes everybody happy too, hehe! Let me just share with you these handmade gift tags I ordered from Tagged with Love (formerly 43lucy.com).  It took a while for the gift tags to arrive from the U.S. (something must be done with our local postal service, argh!) ...

The start of my tea cup collection

08.15.2015 by Leah //

Remember the Royal Albert tea cup and saucer set I gifted myself with for my birthday this year? I bought that from @paperstrawlove, an IG seller carrying the finest brands of home and kitchenware. Her catalog of vintage tea cups is to die for! Since then, I have been dreaming of my own tea cup collection.  I am especially drawn to those in white, black, gold and blue ... READ MORE

The Business of Fast Fashion

08.01.2015 by Leah //

It's the end-of-season sale once again and at Glorietta last weekend, I saw lots of clothing shops on sale frenzy (again!), giving discounts to as big as 70%.  These shops already gave huge discounts in their last summer sale, and here they are at it again. I wonder at how these merchants earn profit.  What's the mark-up then when they can slash prices off to as much as ... READ MORE

Inexpensive Gold at National Bookstore

07.24.2015 by Leah //

I almost squealed with delight when I saw this set of gold paper and binder clips at National Bookstore earlier.  Priced at only Php 170.00 (or less than $4.00), these are definitely inexpensive gold nuggets hihi!  Lakas pa maka-Kate Spade! Sorry for the bad lighting.  I took pictures of these right after I got home ('cos I can't wait till tomorrow to share my good ... READ MORE

Decorative Trays at the Landmark

07.04.2015 by Leah //

While I have successfully avoided the lure of shopping at the home section of H&M, at Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Crate & Barrel, I could not stick to that "self-control" whenever I am at the Home Section of the Landmark Department Store. It doesn't help too that they are selling decorative trays that are so "in" these days, and if you love anything decoupage then ... READ MORE

A Day at West Elm in Estancia Mall

06.20.2015 by Leah //

Next to bags and paper products, shopping for stylish home items is something I am addicted to.  So when I learned that West Elm has opened at the beautiful (but small) Estancia Mall in Capitol Commons (just beside the Ynares Sports Arena in Kapitolyo, Pasig),  I made sure to check it out last weekend. West Elm was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2002 by the same ... 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

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
