There’s a New Blog in Town!

Have you been over at Delightful Dozen?  If you love to dress up and if you love vintage, then you’ll need to bookmark it.  I’ve just added it on my list of favorite blogsTwelve style bloggers and friends collaborated to come up with fashion inspirations for everyone.
They swap pieces of clothing and wear it in their own unique way.  It is great to see how one piece of clothing can be worn in diverse ways just by pairing it with a different pair of shoes or matching it with your own accessories.  These girls are having fun!  Oh, and they’re also sponsoring two giveaways ($50 and $100 gift certificates from UO and Threadsence) so go and have a look :)

I Got the Stylish Blogger Award

I would like to say a BIG thank you to Eve for giving me the Stylish Blogger Award! Thanks, it feels nice to be noticed:)

Here’s how it works:

Thank and link back to the person who awarded you;
Share 7 things about yourself;
Pay it forward to 15 bloggers you like (but 3, 5 or any number is ok!);
Contact those bloggers about the award

ok, here are 7 things about me:
I’m a February Girl.
I share the house with three boys: my handsome hubby, Tobias (our feisty but sweet mini pinscher), and George (our loveable mixed breed who looks more like a lion than a dog).
I love Filipino dishes by heart but I also love pasta.
I like green mangoes better than ripe mangoes.
I super love the color yellow (such a happy hue:) but I don’t wear it often!
My mom had me when she was 47, which I guess made me kind of strange in some ways:)

And now I pass the Award to these 15 Stylish Bloggers:

Blog Love: This Is Glamorous

One of the best blogs I’ve seen is This Is Glamorous.  Listed as one of the London Times’ 50 of the world’s best design blogs, it features glamorous photography, true to its name.  One of the segments  I look forward to is Fashion Inspiration which highlights fabulous works of fashion designers and photographers; and magazine editorials.  Here are some of my favorites  from that segment.

Home Interior Inspiration: Exquisitely White Living Room

Sometimes, we see photos of homes that look too beautiful to be real. This living room is one of them.  These photos may look like they were put together for a magazine photoshoot but they were actually taken from  a real home.

So many details that leave me gasping about this room: the pristine white hues amid accents of peach,  that dress decorating the living room wall right beside three elements of beauty, those white and grey pile of drawers, the glass window bookshelf with that oversized golden shoe. . . I am so amazed by herpersonal taste.  I cannot see myself living here but just looking at it leaves me breathless.

Wish List: Silhouette SD

It would be so sweet to have a Silhouette SD next to my computer. I’ve actually never heard of it before until yesterday when I saw it at Oh, Hello Friend. . . this amazing tool that helps you make cuttable designs from vinyl, paper, cardboard, and more.
How I would love to create cupcake cups, scrapbook thingies, buntings, greeting cards and other pretties with it. Oh, I wish I could win the giveaway! And if you do too, you can also hop over Oh, Hello Friend to enter the giveaway.
