Accessories. I love them. Rings, bangles, bracelets... the occasional necklace. The past year the collection just kept growing. They outgrew my small box. Time to reorganize. I once took my hubby's itsy bitsy stuff out of his mini drawers to see if my stuff fits. Not. I really needed to settle these babies into something more appropriate and out of the way.
Like the real stuff, one has to get them blings their own plastic bags. I prefer the ziplocks. These would protect them from scratches. The stones and crystals will not unnecessarily bump into one another thus preventing breakage. They maybe novelty and most not as valuable but still I'd like to keep them in good shape.



I remembered I got an authentic Japanese wood organizer at a flee market. It organized the smaller ones quite well.


A comfy lined compartment is just but the perfect home for the blings!
What is it? 
It's our "abandoned" picnic basket. Just the right size. It keeps well. 



And it's just the right size to fit under my work desk. Perfect.
Yes girlfriends, pricey or off the bargain rack, our blings deserve to be kept in separate plastic compartments. It will make them last longer. Don't forget to wipe them with dry cloth after using them and before you put them away.

A Tina Campos Creation treasure. You know how much I love her accessories, I got my orders today!
Don't you just love the flower?




A classic. And yet works just as cool with a more casual shirt.



A cheeky pose. I just wanted to show more of the shirt Im wearing. My father-in-law's shirt!!! Yep, it's real vintage. Ok, off to errands!

I know, it's just Friday. Two more days right? But let me be the first to greet you all a very Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Busy busy busy had been my days packing for the family's weekend get away. A Valentine's Day get away.
Yes, as you might have guessed right now, dilemma was what scarves to bring, as usual. Have you picked your Valentine's Day get up yet? I wanted red. I got this really beautiful solid red dress. I figured I'd pair it with some nasty pair of heels. What stopped and made me a complete u-turn from the well planned ensemble? 3 years ago, I did wear red. Yes, I blended right in with the restaurant decors, waitresses' aprons and worst, the table cloths. HARHARHAR! Terrible!
Since then I have not wore red during Feb 14, but I still keep getting something of that color to wear for the day. I always change my mind, purposely.
I shall probably be frolicking on the day itself in my casual get up. No fancy stuff. Too hard to reserve for Valentine's. Too much traffic. I just might put little red ribbons on my little girls' hair for dinner.
For a touch of romance, I shall a diamond encrusted headband...


and lace....


Trotting about the Feb 14 night life with them lovely kiddos in tow, arm in arm with my hubby (this weekend's trip is his gift to us) in 4-inches of platform comfort would be fabulous!!!


(You don't need expensive stuff to create a look. Accessorize headband, Forever 21 blouse,
Tina Campos Magistrado necklace and green Steve Madden shoes do it for me...)


Thank YOU Boss.
Thank YOU for LOVE.

I love you all my family and friends!!!
May you have your hearts' desires...!

Kisses and hugs xxx000

I have bracelets and bangles days. I have ring days. Yesterday was obviously necklace day. Went to a meeting with Ann and came home with this adorable candy colored bead necklace that I had been eyeing for the longest time. Late afternoon I picked Joel up from Cebu International Convention Center and got my heart stolen by this beautiful white floral ensemble by Juren Handicrafts. Both necklaces hand made in Cebu.


Plain black would be too boring, I figured. And yes! The all white flowers worked quite well with the striped top!
Textures!!!
Who's hungry? Hungry for candies!


They are indeed chunky and heavy. And sweet. Wondered how it looked like with both plain and printed tops. Gorgeous!
The brown silk emphasized its warm colors.
While the plaid made it go the whimsical route.
I love it!

Inside my "whatever box" I found this. My vintage Raggedy Andy metal pendant. It is heavy. An uncle from the U.S. sent this to me when I was a very small girl. He loved sending me stuff. Too bad I have lost the long chain. But will try to find an old silver one for this. I love this necklace that's why I kept it all these years. Haven't even shown it to my girls. Someday this will be theirs. I need to retouch it though. Will have to rummage thru Joel's paints someday.

Yep I believe I wrote that date myself. Im guessing I used a broad tip pentel pen. What was I thinking? Using a broad tip pen on a curvy surface!!! The date looks like 4/6/74... 36 years ago.
I miss my uncle. He was always very good to my family.

Or I wonder...is this Raggedy Ann?
