Five Favorites

I’m slowly gearing up for the holidays. It’s an exciting season for me as I love entertaining and spending time with friends and family.

I’m sharing with you some of my favorite items and also gift ideas for the holidays.

Uniqlo Silk Shirts

Nothing is more luxurious than silk shirts but they carry a hefty price tag. Most silk shirts I have range from P3,000-P10,000 depending on the brand. I scored big time at Uniqlo when I found these plain and polka dotted silk shirts for P1,950 each!

Also, I was able to hand wash the shirts using light detergent and they were fine. No dry cleaning needed.

These are perfect tops for everyday wear (nice with denim jeans), for work or for the coming holiday parties!

Marc Jacobs Lip Gel in ‘Neo-Noir’

I like the velvety silk texture of Marc Jacobs’ Lip Gel.

The bright cherry red color is love! This color is bold and will brighten up your smile!

Marc Jacobs Makeup is available online. I bought mine at shophk.tumblr.com

Nine West ‘Charlie’ Pointy Pumps

Not all pointy pumps are created equal. Some are really painful to wear. I found a style that I can walk in for miles! The Nine West ‘Charlie’ pointy pumps are so comfy, I bought three colors (blush, black and tan)!

The heels is only 2-12 inches high but the design of the heel makes it seem higher that it really is. The leather is also soft and contours to the feet making it comfortable to wear.

Chocolove chocolates

Chic packaging and yummy taste are deadly combination.

I’m a milk chocolate kind of girl. Chocolove’s Salted Peanut in Milk Chocolate flavor has the perfect salty & sweet harmony I like in a chocolate bar. The Peppermint in Dark Chocolate is also good! I pair it with hot tea.

The best part is that the wrappers have surprise love poems printed on them!

Ang tamis. Tamis. Tamis.

Available at Rustan’s groceries

W17 Home Scented Candles

I’m a fan of W17 Home’s scented candles (made in France). The packaging is chic and the candle is long-lasting.

This season they came out with new scents. My new favorite is the ‘Cyprus Pine’.

The scent of cypress pine is refreshing and has a Christmas-y smell! I light it up in the morning as part of my candle and coffee ritual and at night when hanging out in the living room with the family or friends.

W17 candles are also chic holiday presents!

W/17 Home is located at La Fuerza Compound 2241 Chino Roces Ave., Makati City; Tel no.: +63(02) 478 – 1717
