Cheap Fab Finds

Yesterday, after attending the church's Sunday service, i went shopping at Robinson's East Mall with my mom, my son, and my sister Ina. My mom and I both have the same weakness..bags.But since my husband told me not to shop for bag anymore because i received 3 new bags already this Christmas, i diverted my attention to clothes and accessories. After a couple of minutes of checking so many display of clothes at the ladies apparel section, i spotted this gorgeous little white lacy dress! It was love at first sight. The lacy details was awesome and the price was totally unbelievably cheap. I bought the dress for only Php 400! Best steal ever!

Maroon + Black Chic Debutant

Today, let me share to you one of my creations perfect for a chic and sophisticated young lady who is about to celebrate her much awaited eighteenth birthday. So here are the details. What i love most about this invite is the sketch of a girl with umbrella which i just found on the internet. It's sooo beautiful. I'm sure you will strongly agree with me. Then i put the floral swirl in the corner to add vintage-y look. I picked the combination of maroon and black coz it's perfect motif for a formal and elegant event. For a finishing touch, I
put a black satin ribbon around the card so it doesn't look just a plain half fold card.

Filipinana wedding invitation

This is an example of a spring inspired native wedding invitation. Although the event will be held in California, the couple are both Pinoy and they wanted their wedding invitation to have a native pinoy appeal. So the materials i used in this invitation were all native products like the sinamay, hand made paper and dried grass.
