Pottery Barn Holiday Collection 2014.

Audrey Zubiri, Mia Borromeo, Jenni Epperson, Lulu Tan Gan and Maggie Wilson were asked to design their own little corner inside Pottery Barn and what they came up with is too cute for words. 

Jenni Epperson presented her kitchen and dining set-up Silver Belle, featuring pops of ruby red dinnerware “Dedicated to the woman of the house who's spirit is all about giving loved ones the best of the season.”

Maggie Wilson-Consuji done her Feminin bedroom in classic winter white “A woman’s bedroom should be two things cozy and delicate.”

Mia Borromeo and Lulu Tan-Gan featuring a cream sofa topped with Holiday-worthy pillows for their Home for the Holidays living room vignette “One of the things we look forward to each Christmas is thewarmth of family and friends and the joy of celebrating at home with them.”

Before heading up to the 2nd floor, I saw really wonderful Christmas decors that will truly bring out the best of the holiday spirit in anyone. 

Audrey Zubiri with her sweet palette of pink and cream Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice, kids’ area. “A peak into little girls' dream room for Christmas.”

It was an afternoon of great shopping and good time with awesome friends.

Face-Off 2014, Part 1

Inquirer Lifestyle presented Face Off 2014 yesterday at Solaire and even though it is nearly impossible to get me out of the house on a Sunday night, more so to wear make-up, heels and a bra, I had to go because it has been a while since I last attended a fashion event. It also happens that most of the designers featured in the show are my good friends. 

The theme was Filipino designers of two generations redefine the Maria Clara. 

Thank goodness the traffic was not as bad as I feared it would be. 

Enjoy the show!

There were quite a few more designers but I couldn't take photos of everyone's designs because  juggling Instagram, taking pictures, whatsapp messaging and accepting calls from my daughter is no joke. 

Stay tuned for the muses!!

Crate and Barrel in Manila.

Perfect time to open a store is right before the Christmas madness season. 

That's exactly when Crate and Barrel opened its doors in the Philippines. Located at SM Mega Fashion Hall, this shop offers a wide range of home accessories that are quite affordable. 

Love this table!

But I love the Acacia wood slabs even more. When I posted it on my Instagram, my "Shoppingera" friends all sent me a message to buy some for them. So I got all that Crate and Barrel had and still waiting for word about when they will have more. 

I don't have a bar at home and I am not an expert drinker so I wouldn't know what to do with this but I really think it's cute!

With my official SM shopping "honey", Harley Sy. 

Congratulations and thank you for making Christmas shopping easy this year!!!
