fashion inspiration: adored vintage

Can I get a show of hands of those who have this same obsession with vintage? Well, mine is sadly unhealthy for my pocket.
I'm talking about this, Adored Vintage. Aren't they just the prettiest?
Here, let me give you [if this can be considered] a few of their fancy clothing, a.k.a my literally-a-bunch-of favorites.

They also have awesome reads, by the way. All vintage.

About Adored Vintage

A deep love for fashion and history bore the idea of ADORED VINTAGE, an online vintage clothing boutique for modern women that love fanciful and pretty things. Each vintage garment is hand selected for quality, beauty, and relevance to modern day fashion. We believe each garment bears a tale from its past and the women that chooses a vintage garment from our shop loves the idea of adding her own chapter to the story of a dress.

Now, if only you don't cost too much. Converted to our money, you are worth a week of groceries.
I just have to find an excuse a way to justify that [you are worth it and I deserve you] to my husband.

art inspiration: amy borrell

Amy Borrell is an Illustrator and Designer based in Australia.
With a BA in Design (Honours) from RMIT, she spends her days freelancing
for clients on all kinds of lovely projects; whilst drinking lots of tea!

Recently, I had succumbed to a rather fanatical obsession with anything watercolor.
So, it's no surprise when I say, I am absolutely smitten with Amy Borrell.
You will find it very difficult to choose your favorite, but I personally love these art from her "Animals" and "Collections"sets.




Best photo (for me at least) goes to The 64 Moons of Jupiter.

pictures for baptism invitations

A pre-event photo shoot was one of the things I considered while planning the Belle's baptism, since I needed pictures for the invitations. It was also in my list of things I was sure of to have a photo display just about anywhere in the reception venue. Of course, it had to be more than just pretty. So I originally wanted to hire a professional photographer. Sadly, my husband was firm when he said the additional expense (It was PhP5,000. Or even more) was out of the question.

Luckily, I had my photography pal, Candy the Canon 40D, to do the shoot myself. These are samples of what we had. I saved bucket of tears; I didn't cry beg for a professional photo shoot, since I quite liked how mine turned out. [It is my dream to be a wedding/couple/baby portrait photographer so...] I also got to practice how to set up. [Shooting babies can be really tough, not to mention a whole lot of scary. With all the wobbling heads and what not, last thing I want is to break my baby's neck.]
