WEEK ROUNDUP

January 31 2013

After recovering from my fever last week, I dove straight to work this week and it’s been a hectic one. I’m off to Berlin next week for work so I’ve been pulling late nights in the office or running errands some nights. It was this week that I’m reminded how blessed I am to have [...]

  Moisturize is the word on every women’s lips this winter. It sure is the toughest season leaving our skin, lips and hair really dry.

She always look impeccable on the red carpet but takes a relaxed approach when it comes to her casual style. You can see that she relies on [...]

The brand pioneered in making effortlessly cool pieces that just becomes instant favorites. I am currently obsessing over Isabel’s Spring 2013 Etoile line for it’s laid back pieces and summery prints and colors.I particularly [...]
