VERO

To all the ladies reading my blog, do you remember when we were young and just die over our mom's precious jewelry box with all the gems, pearls, golds and silvers inside and imagine how beautiful we will look and feel wearing them?

Well, that's exactly how I felt *with matching jaw-drop and drool action* when I got an email from an old friend from MEGA magazine, introducing a new local fine jewelry label by a talented Cebu-based jewelry designer Gladys Young- VERO, where he is now connected. 

I was actually invited to the exclusive viewing of VERO's new jewelry line that *seriously* every woman will just drool and die over and I very much want to kill myself for mixing up my own schedule therefore missing the event. *grrrrrrr* Just see for yourself and share my awe.

These are just few of her stylish pieces from VERO's latest summer collection entitled "Under the Sea." 
And all I can say is AHHH-MAZING!




VERO talkes into heat the sanctity of luxe style, creating pieces that are unique and edgy, yet timeless and elegant. Intricate and enthralling, these are set in precious metals -- gold and silver, as well as bronze infused with silver, amidst colored diamonds and gemstones of the finest quality. I am really out of words just be looking at the photos of these exquisite jewelry by this talented Cebuana. 

Gladys Young - Designer

Customized, extraordinary, and indeed one-of-a-kind, VERO has placed a premium on the concept of investment pieces - as treasures that can be passed on as heirlooms, or an iconic style that can last even for the stylish generations to come.

This pair of earrings are my favorite. I can totally see the inspiration behind this exquisite creation. Its intricacy, the coral details and simply how it was made is just breathtaking. Something to really save up for.

Be VERO, be beautiful, and stand out from the ordinary.

Subspace Encountered

I've been holding on to this blog post for a time already because I sO wanted to combine this with a related feature of a store I've been dying to visit. And so I did... all because good things are worth waiting for. Agree? 

Very well, while I try to justify my laziness *haha* feast your eyes with these creatively peculiar work of art and uniquely crafted furnitures found inside a one-of-a-kind coffee shop in a small corner in Ortigas - Subspace.

If this is not the first time you've heard about Subspace, good for you, because Subspace is truly a must-visit, must-try, coffee experience.

I've been reading a lot about Subspace coffee before from other blogs and so I've been planning and wanting to visit this place but never got the chance. Then, on one sunny afternoon, while I'm out and about in Ortigas trying to find a place where I will be meeting with a potential client, guess what I stumbled upon - Alleluia - it's Subspace! Like, God was really pointing me to the right direction because he knew I needed a boost of caffeine in my body *lol* (just exaggerating). 

The place was smaller than I expected it to be but the artistry of it and its coffee did not disappoint.

I'm a self-confessed coffee addict, like running without caffeine in my blood for a day is like not drinking water for a week. (okay, exaggerating again but I'm just really that mad about coffee) I was pretty amazed and confused, both at the same time, when I looked at their menu. Amazed because their coffee offerings are not the usual. Confused because I'm a creature of habit and so I didn't know what to order. After about 10 minutes starring at their menu in utter confusion, I went for their best recommendation - Hot Purple Potato Latte - just to try something new since I'm in a new place. 

I didn't know what to expect exactly, and then this cute little cat surprised me *meow* courtesy of Subspace coffee artist.

I didn't want to kill the art but I had to drink my coffee, my body was just begging for it... So, I swirled the cutesy cat away then this creamy froth just excited me even more. Since I had no idea how the Hot Purple Potato Latte will taste, I had to take few breaths before taking a sip. (Isn't it obvious that I'm some kind of a control freak too? - Again, creature of habit) *haha* 

Verdict? Yummy. And I bet this tastes good over ice too... I'll try that next time after trying their Peanut Butter Latte, Dark Choco Mint Latte...(and the list goes on) Oh, and they have awesome milk tea creations too! Gotta try that also.  

As mentioned, my "space" adventure did not end there because I also made it a point to visit Subspace's brother, Space Encounters - a custom-made furniture shop for out-of-the-box accent pieces that can turn every empty space an artsy livable one.   

Space Encounters is just a few steps away from the coffee shop so if you're already in the area, do check it out. It's just unfortunate that the place was undergoing renovation so I didn't see much of their usual displays but what they had in store was enough to take my breath away. 

Come to think of it, if I were to do a line up of careers I would have considered before given the exposure that I have now, if only I can go back to college? Interior Design would definitely be in my consideration. If only I heard the cry of "ART" calling me when I was dead set wanting to become a lawyer (surprising huh?) *sigh* 

Oh well, there's a reason for everything and I am just glad that the turn of events led me back to my true passion - Art, Design, Fashion, Events, Travel, and believe it or not Marketing. As my FB status said a few weeks ago, if I can have the best of all worlds, why not?

Live Life in Full Color

Woke up this morning in the scorching heat of the sun. So it finally sinked in... Yes, it is undeniably and unescapingly (and I know there's no such word) - Summer. Okay, this realization might come too late given that it has been declared summer since the first week of March but I'm really the kind of person who can take the heat - literally. More often than not, heat really doesn't bother me and I really kinda prefer the right kind of heat versus the cold. 

Anyway, for most people, it is that time of the year once again when we indulge ourselves with layer after layer of sunscreen as the warm touch of the sun burns our skin and all things cold brings sheer joy to our being. Yet, summer is still my favorite season, not just because I get a reason to buy new sunnies, flip-flops and bikinis, but because of all the color it brings. 

I don't know if you agree but do you notice that everything seems to become brighter and more vibrant when it's summer? The street, the sky, the food we eat *Hello, halo-halo* and most of all, what we wear! There's really no excuse in sulking in pure black because black absorbs more heat, unless you really just dig the goth & emo-punk fashion.  I don't judge. But because summer brings sweet sunny happiness, I often see happy people go all bright as well when they step out of the house with bold colors, crazy shades and whatnot, and i just love it.

Speaking of summer, flip-flops, and bold colors, I just LoooOOoooVE the new summer collection of Havaianas that come in all the colors of the rainbow and then some. Havaianas truly understands that people live vividly hued lives and this is reflected in every design and color of their flip-flops. Because human nature is dynamic, not static, and no one can be boxed in just one color, Havaianas gives us another wide range of colorful comfy flip-flops that we can match with our every mood. Don't you agree? *Nod if you do* 

And this summer, Havaianas invites us to celebrate life by embracing our vibrant and colorful self with the latest collection of new shades from the world's most loved brand of flip-flops. This summer's releases of the now-ubiquitous Brazilian flip-flops features new colors for beloved Havaianas classics like Havaianas Top, Havaianas Top Mix, Havaianas Slim, Havaianas Brasil, Havaianas Brasil Logo, Havaianas Brasil Mix, and so much more the perfect companions to match every look, mood, or lifestyle as we continue to live summer every day of the year. 

Havaianas aims to celebrate different facets of individuality with its latest summer collection. Each color in the Summer 2013 collection encourages people to live life in full color both inside and out by embodying certain attributes that make each and every person unique. Aside from the classic White and Black, other stunning colors such as Amazonia, Marine Blue, Fushia and Lime Green are perfect for expressing your inner self through comfortable, and simple stylish flip-flops. 

Havaianas believes that summer is not just a season - it is a state of mind, that allows us to live freely and expressively, by embracing the many millions of colors that create the canvas of our lives. With all the many styles and colors we can choose from, we can make a strong or subtle fashion statement whether we're simply stepping out to do groceries or digging our feet into the sand on a sunny beach. There is simply a perfect pair of Havaianas for everybody, every day and every occasion. Whatever our mood, we can always count on Havaianas to be our constant style companion this summer, because we deserve to live a colorful and exuberant life. 

Kudos to Havaianas for coming up with yet another fabulous collection that I just LoooOOoooVE (there goes my long LOVE again. Sorry, I just had to emphasize again and again *lol*) Oh, and my favorite? This pair below. Its bold mix of colors with a touch of the exuberant lifestyle of Brasil is absolutely perfect for my audacious personality. Don't you think?

So this summer, join me as I live life in full Havaianas colors and express your colorful self both inside and out by grabbing a new pair of Havaianas in any of its exciting new colors!
