Fashion: Twirl Around With Tulle

Have you seen this really adorable Anthropologie tulle skirt?

It seems like tulle skirts are the rage today. Printed tulle skirts like this are pretty hard to find locally. Project Happy sells tulle skirts but only the plain ones (so far). Their tulle skirts are one of their bestselling fashion pieces, and it's no wonder that they are bringing them back...

This time, it will be available in maxi length. Here is a first look for you.

Project Happy will be having a bazaar pretty soon, and they will make these skirts available. So watch out for it. Like Project Happy for updates.

Fashion: Collaboration Heaven at Uniqlo

Uniqlo was a brand I first heard from friends. I haven't really given it a thought until I went with my husband to find him some jeans.

We went to the branch at the Block in North Edsa. My first impression was, wow, this store is pretty big. I am a sucker for organized displays, and this was also one of the reasons I was pulled in. Price was pretty affordable, and I decided to try on some stuff.

I fell in love with the print on this pair of pants.

I got it because it was such a fun piece at P990. It is the same pair I was wearing in this photo below.

When I noticed it was a Celia Birtwell collaboration while shopping, I wondered if they still had the Laduree collection. So I went around and found these.

Food: Cheesy Ensaymadas

Ensaymadas are pastry products dating back to 17th century Majorca, Spain. It has become part of the Filipino household, and everyone who has lived in the Philippines knows about it. Well, they should, because it is commonly sold in all bakeshops everywhere in the country. It is basically brioche baked with butter topped with butter, sugar and cheese.

One of the tastiest I've had is this one from a small bakery called Mita's.
