kate spade

I've been lurking in Kate Spade's website since noon time and I've also been swooning over some pieces.. What I love about Kate Spade is that everything that she makes, from bags to iPhone cases to shoes, jewelries and some other things, she never fails to make it look so colorful and whimsy! I started liking her bags when I was 11, and until now, I like her bags, iPhone cases, clothes, and wallets even more!

I'd like to share some pieces that I think are such eye-candies!

This bag comes in 4 different colors. 

Stunning Pink, Clotted Cream, Black, Flo Coral

Perfect for a milk tea run or a day out with girl friends!

I love tops or dresses that look vintage and that only means one thing.. 

Wear something with a Peter Pan collar! 

This top is a perfect example of modern meets vintage.

I love the cut of this dress.. Oh and, the color too! I love this shade of pink too much!

If you wear this dress with a belt, it would show off your waist! 

This kind of jacket is a MUST in a girl's closet! 

Black + Pearls around the neck = Elegance

Can you believe that this is a clutch?! Kate Spade really puts her wild creativity

in her designs! This is the definition of eye-candy!

This too, is a clutch! Cute, right? Yet, it's perfect for an evening ball! 

Simple gown + Totally unique clutch = Voila! 

Kate Spade also has a blog.. I suggest you read it if you want to know more about the collection and.. To go "behind the curtain"!

oscars 2012

Yesterday, the very prestigious Oscars Academy Awards was shown in the television. Unfortunately, I was not able to watch it because I was about to go to school when the Oscars started to show! So, I told myself to just watch the replay at night but then again, I forgot to tune in to the channel that showed the Awards! How silly of me.. Anyhow, I would like to share some gowns that some celebrities wore and some awards that a number of celebrities won!

Warning: Below will be some kind of a photo dump! Too many beautiful artists in their beautiful gowns to blog about! 

Of course, we start off with Meryl Streep, She portrayed 

Margaret Tatcher in the movie The Iron Lady which made 

her win as Best Actress! 

Meryl's in a Lanvin night gown and I must say that I am in love!

Angelina Jolie and her killer slit gown! I love how she can make 

one simple black gown look so elegant without much effort! 

One of my favorites.. Emma Stone! She just looks so dashing in this

Giambattista Valli night gown! I am so in love with her beauty! 

I love Giuliana Rancic's gown! She looks oh-so-fab in it! 

Now this is what you call an Alexander McQueen masterpiece! 

It fits Jessica Chastain perfectly!

Can you believe that a Filipina designed this? No, right? Well, it's a 

Monique Lhuillier creation! Judy Greer looks so sexy and curvy in this gown!

From afar, you might think that it's Katy Perry. But if you look at her closely, 

it's... Kelly Osbourne! I'm loving the details on her gown!

I am of Chinese descent but I am very, very far from looking like 

Li Bing Bing! She looks so elegant, refreshing and sexy! 

I love Michelle Williams' gown! It's a

Louis Vuitton creation and this color seems to be the

trend this 2012! I also love the very dainty features of the 

dress that made Michelle look even daintier than the usual!

I actually like Milla Jovovich's beauty. Her features are

so sharp.. Just like Raina Hein! 

Natalie Portman = Beauty & Brains

Imagine.. She's a Harvard graduate and at the same time,

a great actress! I loved her chemistry in Thor with 

Chris Hemsworth! LOL!

Olivia Spencer played the role of Minny Jackson in The Help 

which made her win as Best Actress in a Supporting Role!

I also love her gown, a Tadashi Shoji creation, which made her

look thinner and gave her an empire waist! 

Penelope Cruz looks so elegant in her Armani Prive gown!

She looks like a real life princess that you can see from fairy tales!

People are associating Rooney Mara with Audrey Hepburn 

and I must agree with them! She's the more daring version of Audrey! 

She's wearing a Givenchy gown.. What do you think of it?

This is Shailene Woodley in Valentino!

She looks so gorgeous!

sunday stroll

So, this is my first outfit post and let me tell you something, it's a bit awkward to pose and take pictures in Greenbelt since there's people everywhere! But I didn't care about the passersby staring at me, all I wanted was my picture taken!

(Bag- Kate Spade, shoes - Zara, tube dress - Rustan's Makati,

vest - Forever 21, bangles - Forever 21, blue leather bracelet - Vita Fede, Rockwell)

I decided to wear something light and airy because from the moment I woke up, I knew today's going to be hot and sunny!

pinkberry

My trip to Greenbelt would be incomplete if I didn't get any sweets after my lunch/dinner there. Today, I decided to grab Pinkberry instead of always grabbing Gelatissimo (Trust me, I'm getting a tad bit sick and tired of the flavors there!)

To my surprise, I never expected Pinkberry to be that good! 

This is what I got. 

Green Tea + Chocolate with Chocolate Gems and Fruity Pebbles!

The Green Tea was so good! And, together with Chocolate, 

it's resembled as perfection!!!

This is what my mom ordered..

Green Tea with Mangoes and Fruity Pebbles

This is what my dad got.. Plain Chocolate!

No toppings, no syrup, no everything. Just plain Chocolate. :)

If you're a sweet-tooth, then Pinkberry is the place to be! If you're a health-conscious gal, Pinkberry's still the place to be! 

What's good about Pinkberry is that at the bottom of the cup size menu, there's a calorie count. So, you don't have to worry how much calorie you're taking in since the number's very small!

kai

We have been going to this restaurant since November last year and thanks to my food buddy/seat mate, Janella! I was asking her to suggest Japanese restaurants that were authentic, not a rip off. And she named Kai.. After asking her where Kai was, I immediately told my mom "We have to try it!"

For today's lunch, we decided to eat there, and to take pictures of the food and share it with you guys. 

Their Uni Sashimi is the freshest! I love it!

Salmon Sashimi and Hamachi

10 hours Buta Kakani "Braised Pork Belly"

My mom describes this dish as tender and succulent.

Unagi 

Ebi Tempura

Grilled U.S. Black Angus Rib Eye Steak with Wasabi Coconut

This is my favorite. The steak is so tender and meaty!

Soft Shell Crab Tempura

Trio of Creme Brulee

(Chocolate, Citrus and Green Tea)

I do suggest that you make a reservation before going to the restaurant especially on weekends because the place is always packed!
