Snake Necklace/Belt P550

Yes my dears, another accessories post. I’m sorry, but I just can’t help it! People keep on making really, really good ones at crazy, affordable prices! This week’s Fab Find comes from a brand I’m not sure everyone’s familiar with… yet. This gorgeous, eye-popping piece comes from Jean and Rosz, brainchild of friends Krisha Rosz Iliscupidez and Jeanny Lyn So. The ladies have an absolutely breathtaking collection of elegant well-made accessories. Knockout rings, necklaces, and bangles that Rachel Zoe, queen of “excessorizing” would kill for! This snake charmer is one of them. When Krisha brought it out of the bag I–you guessed it–gasped!

Acqua Gold Php 2195

Okay, I’m almost done packing for the shoot. Got my sunnies, tunics, bikinis, maxi dresses, and shorts in the bag. My only problem now is footwear. I don’t really feel like bringing a lot since I’ll be at the beach shooting most of the time. I need a pair of sandals that are:

1.) Waterproof: I’ll be by the shore, and I don’t want to have to worry about ruining them.

2.) Lightweight: I’m at the beach, do I even have to explain?

3.) Something that can transition from day to night.

Lucky for me (and you, of course) Melissa Shoes just launched their new summer collection! Known for their innovative designs and awesome designer collaborations, the plastic shoe makers have come up with the most delightful collection of candy-colored sandals. They come in 4 different designs: Acqua, Capana, Cute, and Paradise.

GFI: Accessorize Coral Neclace

I mentioned in my first post that I follow certain “rules” and “philosophies” when I shop. These all came about during my many, many, many, many shopping trips over the years. I would like to share these little tips with you so that you can make the most out of your hard-earned cash.

I’ve gone through all the possible emotions that come with making a purchase–excitement, joy, heartbreak, and buyer’s remorse. In today’s post, I would like to tackle heartbreak and how to avoid it. I’m sure you all know the feeling, going back and forth inside a store, saying hello to “your” purse/shoes/accessories, and then leaving the shop empty-handed with a longing feeling at the pit of your stomach. You say to yourself “I don’t really need it, I’ll just save my money.” Then one day you finally decide to go back to the store, money in hand and ready to buy your most coveted item–only to find out that it’s already been sold. A sad sad day indeed. The saddest part about it is that such heartache could have been avoided.

Arabian Jewel Necklace Php 900

A quick glance at my closet reveals my style as “not-so-basic basic.” Meaning I tend to gravitate toward classic shapes with interesting details. I almost always shy away from prints. In fact, the only “prints” that I ever really wear are stripes. In fact, my passion for stripes is turning into quite an obsession (okay, I’m beginning to digress—more on the stripes invasion in a future post).

My accessories drawer, however, is a different story. Here you will find stacks and stacks of bangles in every color, a handful of rings, layers upon layers of scarves in every print and texture, plus a whole lot of necklaces. And when I say a whole lot, I mean A WHOLE LOT! (Go ahead, ask my friends.) I guess I rely on my accessories to be the source of all my drama, wardrobe-wise. I let them do all the talking. I love how easy it is to transform an outfit from quirky prepster to sexy bohemian with just a change of earrings.
