Follow Me on Twitter + Send Me Links!
Ok, I've been trying to figure out for the longest time how to add Twitter to this blog, and how to make those "Newer Posts/Older Posts" links at the bottom to make it easier for all of us to access my other entries. Turns out all I needed was to update my template! After all, I've had this template for over two years, practically since I started, so it was about time!
Now, in the midst of updating my blog template I lost all my links! I'm painstakingly trying to rebuild my links list so if any of you want to be linked up, leave me a comment with your URL! No discrimination here (well as long you're not some dodgy blog/site)! If you're not the type to leave a comment, then just shoot me an email at manilafashionobserver@gmail.com okidoks?
While you're at it, follow me on Twitter too alrighty? Oh, and Bloglovin' too! Or Google Friend Connect! Whichever works! Let's keep in touch my lovelies!

This will set the mood for getting your act together. Because isn't it a joy to gradually fill this folder with a fresh new set of school supplies and make everything fit so perfectly? It's kind of a Zen moment, well for me at least! Seeing my pens, papers and calculator laid out properly, with nary a Post-it out of place.
This folder comes in a variety of stand-out colors so you can easily spot your stuff amongst a pile of book bags, back packs and totes! But it also comes in plain black if you're the type to go for neutrals...
A FILED! folder retails for Php 495 and easily fits the following:

But if solids are not your thing, there's the Limited Edition Polka Dot collection with either pink, red or purple lining which costs a little bit more at Php 595 each.
You likey? You can order HERE!
Now if STAYING organized is the challenge, I can't help you there. But at least with these, you can say you tried! ;)

Pretty Little Trinkets
Sometimes I find it funny that while I studied Business Economics in UP Diliman, and took my MBA at AIM, here I am now, a housewife, preoccupied with this fashion blog, writing about cuteness and whatever I fancy for Sanriotown, and coming out with stories on fashion for the Radar/Philippine Star. It's funny because I have never been at my happiest "career-wise" than I am now. I am doing the things that I love, what I've always wanted to do, and I feel so lucky! Not to say I regret the years I've spent staring at financial statements, doing projections, researching and writing project proposals, etc. because down the road, I know that I will go into running my own business and all that discipline will come in handy.
So it was doubly amusing when I re-connected with an old classmate from college, Paul Syjuco, who also strayed away from the typical career path that Econ majors take. He became a G.I.A. trained gemologist and jewelry designer after a stint in the financial markets, realizing that he needed a creative outlet. Then again, he is also a third generation jeweler so design and an appreciation for stones is in his DNA. Check out some of his designs:
While he has ready-made pieces available in his store, he also makes bespoke jewelry and it takes approximately four to six weeks to have your own custom creation. For more about Paul's designs, check out his site here or visit:

37 Weeks: Full Term Baby!
Berry can pop out any time she wants now as she is considered full-term this week! Woohoo! Berry is such a good girl! And now I am proud to say that yes, I made it without buying any major maternity clothes! It can be done! I saved a lot of money from steering away from clothes I will not get much use of after Berry comes out. I can instead funnel it into her college fund, because she might want to go to Harvard too like her Dada! Heehee!
These Toms are a no-guilt buy! The perfect slip-on summer shoes for when I'm dashing out to run errands!
Top: Uniqlo
Denims: Current/Elliott
Scarf: H&M
Shoes: Toms
P.S.
Thanks Tita/Tante Marie-Julie for the VMV Grandma Minnie goodies! I can't wait to use it!
Love,
Berry
