Weekend Tidbits

Our weekend was chock full as usual. Early on, we served parasol cupcakes to Mischka's classmates during snack time on her birthday. Our tea party didn't exactly pan out as planned but she nonetheless had a whale of fun turning 3. More on it in the coming posts.

Come Saturday, we witnessed a beautiful wedding in breezy Tagaytay and had a grand time celebrating at Hacienda Isabella. It was our first time there and its actually quite nice.

Sunday was all about work and I don't want to bore you with that. The weekend that was. How was yours?

Get The Look {Sarah Rutson + Eliza}

Eliza: Old Navy Floral Dress/ Old Navy Mini Messenger/ Dolce Vita Sandals 

I am fascinated with powerful women in fashion and even more so when they are impossibly chic and are mothers too-- with stylish daughters to boot.  

I adore Sarah Rutson, Lane Crawford's Fashion Director. When I was looking for pegs to get this series started, I came across a picture of her and daughter Eliza in Paris last year. I didn't even know she had a daughter and a gorgeous one at that!

So there you have it. My first Get The Look for mother-daughter tandems. This series aims to style-spire mother-daughter duos and its only but fitting to kick it off with Sarah and Eliza, yes?

DVF for Gap

If you're a mother of a little girl and these images don't get you excited, I don't know what else would. This DVF for Gap collection is just utterly, impossibly cute! The prints, the colors, and those mini wrap dresses are blowing me away! I want them for myself!

Out in about 30 Gap Kids stores and online too this March 15. To get you even more excited, watch the sneak peek here.

Weekend Tidbits

This pretty much sums up our weekend. Misch and I have been prepping for her tea party. She is very much involved probably more so than me. Incidentally, March issues have hit the newsstands. (March and September are the only issues I am willing to pay for in full retail.) Nice to brush up on the Spring trends and take a breather from all the cupcake talk around here.

We had a round of drinks with some friends visiting from the US at Big Bad Wolf. The new hangout had me at their Amaretto Sour.

An a affordable art fair in Salcedo Park dubbed as Art in the Park, I would say, was the highlight of our weekend. The goal of the organization behind it is to make art accessible, removing the hoity-toity-ness of galleries and bringing it to the unbounded spaces of the outdoors.

I'm so glad we went in spite of the weather. The place was bustling with art from established, emerging, and new Filipino artists.  Jazz music was playing and just around the corner were wine and food concessionaires. It was a perfect afternoon for creative souls save for our muddy soles from the wet grounds.

The weekend that was. Wishing yours was as art-infused as ours.
