Vintage Vogue

I was organizing my jewelry one fine day and realized that between my mom and I, we have quite a collection of vintage jewelry. And thus, I promptly pulled out my camera and began photographing the lot.

Here's a peek at our spoils!

My mom's vintage rings. The top ring is from mom's wedding, while the bottom one once belonged to my grandfather (my mom's dad). 

My mom has had this emerald and pearl set since before I was born! 

This used to be my mom's, and she has since passed it on to me. I have yet to find a chain that looks good with the pendant, but I love wearing the studs. 

Spring 2012 RTW | Chanel Paris-Bombay in B+W

I realize that I'm a bit late on posting about Paris-Bombay, but hey, I was busy preparing for finals during its debut. Fear not, I too spent my study breaks ogling the gorgeous clothes and accessories from every angle and website possible. Instead of posting the whole collection, I'll leave you with a few gorgeous black and white shots from the collection, via Purple Diary. Fear not, this wont be the only post about this collection!! :)

Take it away, Mr. Lagerfeld!

Pre-Fall 2012 | Jason Wu + Oscar de la Renta

New shows, yay! Thus far, two designers have stood out more than others for me - Jason Wu and Oscar de la Renta. I loved they kept the clothes simple and elegant, and used vibrant, rich colors perfect for those chilly winter days. Here they are!

The Lust List | Mawi Jewelry

A couple of weeks ago, I discovered Mawi jewelry from a new favorite blog - the Republic of Chic. 

Mawi jewelry personifies my style -- classic, with an edgy and unexpected twist. The pieces are modern and vintage at once, recalling Victorian stone settings and Indian jewelry, with modern cuts and shapes. It effortlessly combines the contemporary and the vintage, the old world and the cutting edge. I love it!

Feast your eyes!
