Treasure Jar

Who said boys can’t be fashion-conscious? They can be with the proper clothes (and swagger, lol) from where else but SM Kids’ Fashion.

Below are some fashion ideas from the  2012 Philippine fashion Week and SM Kids’ Fashion we can get for those handsome little men in our lives:

Bradley:

Colorful shorts bring instant liveliness to any ensemble. Capture that energy by pairing them with clothes in complementary—not matching!—colors. Make the outfit pop with sneakers that create contrast with the rest of the hues being worn. A good rule of thumb is to mix up warm colors, like red and orange, with cool colors like green and blue. A contrasting cardigan adds a touch of class, making little boys look dapper, yet casual.

Boys Got Style:

While loud colors can look debonair on a young boy by themselves, bringing in some contrast through additional layers creates depth and texture to the entire outfit. A sporty black jacket makes yellow shirts and red jeans pop, while taupe helps a red collared shirt blend in with dark blue jeans by cooling the vivid color down. The end result is a fashionable look that’s versatile enough for both night and day.

Dude:

Juniors and pre-teens are certified rockstars when dressed in Dude’s duds. Make heavily-textured shirts look sleek and sophisticated with blazers in neutral shades. If you want to keep the look casual, roll up the blazer’s sleeves along with the shirts to add a colorful cuff at the end. With a pair of dark-wash jeans and a stylish pair of sneaks to complete the ensemble, juniors are definite head-turners!

Modern Prince:

Dressed up doesn’t always have to mean toned down for kids. Brighten up the standard black suit with a colorful bowtie in complementary shades, like periwinkle. For a daytime affair, have some fun with a white suit by adding livelier colors like turquoise and salmon. A nice pair of boat shoes loosens things up without straying into informal territory. Crown the outfit with a stylish hairdo, and your dashing little gentleman will be the talk of the town.

Head over to SM Kids’ Fashion section and get the perfect outfit for your sons, nephews and godchildren.

Here are some fashion ideas for your little girls.

My kids are no longer babies and for that I heave a sigh of relief as I am free of several responsibilities so Yey! for that. If there are some things though that make me miss those times when they were still babies, that would be about getting cute outfits (lol), trying more organic food offerings, and doing cloth diapering. But I digress because I will stay focus on the cute outfits, specifically the shoes.

When TipTap Soft Soles Shoes launched its 2012 Collection, I couldn’t help but gush, gush and gush some more! The shoes are awesome and how I really wish that my kids were able to have these when they were much, much younger.

Roses and candles as a table setting is something that sounds and looks just right.

This crappy photo was taken during a family friend’s youngest son’s baptismal gathering. I love how the ambience looked classic and lovely. The details are just wonderful!

This made me look for online photos of scented candles (never mind if I have allergies, lol) and among the sites I saw, diptyque piqued my interest.

Why?

In the past I wanted to have a scented candles business 🙂 I can still have it now, if I spend time on it, right?

I love the interiors of Stacy’s!

Here is another photo of the interiors, edited in Instagram:

The food is good too and here are some photos of the food they serve. The food was good and very filling. Photos were also posted here but I am posting these again in this article:

Both photos are edited and posted in Instagram.

The home-y feel is just right though of course our home is nowhere as pretty and bright as this, lol. But I can wish we have this interior though, and that our kitchen have these oak cabinets.

Yes, wishful thinking but who knows? 😉

Stacy’s can be found at Capitol Greenstreet Commercial Center, 1 Capitol Hills Drive, 1101 Quezon City, Philippines
