The Paper Stone in Manila!


Just in time for Christmas, The Paper Stone, a stationery and paper goods store from Singapore, finally makes its way to Manila, as it opens their first ever stand alone kiosk at Glorietta (at the ground floor, close to the center atrium) in Makati this December 14!

Dada brought home some goodies from The Paper Stone the other day, and Berry and I were super smitten! 

Every single piece we found adorable. And that's saying a lot given that Berry is 5 and I am 38, heehee. If you aren't done with your Christmas shopping yet, I suggest you hightail it to the store, because you might just finish your Christmas list right there.


More than just paper goods, they have pencil cases, pens, sharpeners and such too.


Everything is super reasonably priced, I am afraid I'd end up hoarding their notebooks...


Journals...



And just about everything the store will be carrying - scrapbooks, eco-friendly pencils and colored pencils made from recycled newspapers, craft stamps and stickers, quirky erasers and lifestyle products.






The Paper Stone is actually a pretty young company, having only launched in November 2012.

It was created out of a love for quality paper goods that feature the liveliest and cheeriest designs and illustrations. Its founder, Cara L, is an ardent lover of art and design, colors and patterns, a throwback to her days in design school. 

One day, it dawned on her that it was difficult to find great design on a notebook, without feeling like one had to empty their pockets for it. She wanted everyone to enjoy and appreciate good design, and to be able to collect a whole series of notebooks – one for each class you had in school, notes you had to make at work, or topic you wanted to write on for leisure. She envisioned products to make one happy, wherever you go. 

And that vision has been well-received, with a total of 9 stores up and running already in Singapore. All in a span of 2 years.

For girls like me who grew up on Gift Gate, Regina's and Tickles, and even for today's young girls who are into Smiggle, Typo and Kikki K., I am afraid this is another store for us to get obsessed about!

See you at The Paper Stone!

New from Yosi Samra Kids

Oh Sammie! You are too pretty!
 

Sammie, a line by Yosi Samra Kids, came out with two new designs for the holidays.

The Printed Heart flats in dark fuchsia/rose gold and black/white combinations with patent leather detailing are just so adorable. Guaranteed to be little girl pleasers, seriously. Berry has the black/white version and she loves it.

Meanwhile, these Lagarto Metallic babies look more grown up, and actually do have mommy sized counterparts. Unfortunately, the women's sizes were practically sold out when I asked about them.


The Scarlet Kids line in leather and soft patent are loads of colorful fun. But of course, if I were to choose for Berry, I've got my eye on the baby pink and black one. It's the chicest in my opinion heehee.


These alsina/tumbled metallic leather with circular stud detailing are equally cute as well. I love the rose cloud/silver and black/gold color ways too. Quite sophisticated and yet still appropriate for little feet.


I am pretty sure when Berry sees this rose cloud version, she'll be bugging me for a pair!

Christmas 2014 Gift Guide: Morellato DROPS Watches


Italian jewelry label Morellato is known for their collectible Morellato DROPS collection, and for Fall-Winter 2014, Morellato DROPS presents an important new arrival.

Drumroll please...Morellato DROPS Watches!

The watch collection makes its debut with modular or pre-composed bracelets. The DROPS watches have a "gemstone case" (26 mm) with crystal inserts on the bezel.


The classic Morellato DROPS charms can be used for the usual necklaces and bracelets, but also for the bracelets of these new watches. So you can add on to the DROPS watch from your old collection of charms!

But of course, feel free to add from the new charms for the season! Here are some of my favorite pieces, along with newly released necklaces, bracelets and rings to herald in the holidays.


Don't you think this makes for a meaningful gift to the women most dear to you?

A visit to Morellato is just like making a personal piece of jewelry that is unique and exclusive to each one - say, a cat charm dangling on a necklace for your cat loving cousin, a pacifier charm on a delicate necklace for your sister who just gave birth to her first child, and maybe a DROPS watch for your mom, with charms to represent each new addition to your growing family!

Christmas 2014 Gift Guide: Yosi Samra Holiday Collection

Tried and tested, a pair of Yosi Samra flats are always  a great gift idea. Yes, even for the girl who has almost everything.

 Samara in Matte Waxed Croco - Aspen Green, Denim Blue, Ginger, Chili Red, Mulberry, Biscuit

Because a girl can't get enough of pretty and comfortable flats maybe? 

When I am unsure of what to give my best girl friends, sisters or in-laws, I know a new color of Yosi Samras, something they don't have yet, will do the trick! That or I give them gift certificates to get themselves a new pair of Yosi Samra, so they are at liberty to choose what they like, heehee.

There are plenty of new designs from Holiday 2014 that I bet you, you'd personally want to add to your collection. Check out these pairs I found at their store. It's really so much different seeing these up close vs. seeing them in the lookbook the last time! 

Happy Shopping! Wink, Wink!

 Orly in Smoke, Tawny Port and Teal

 Samara in Metallic Leather - Pewter and Bronze

Samara in Soft Patent Leather - Oxford Blue, Smoke, Tawny Port
