Exploring: Ben Cab Museum

Exploring: Ben Cab Museum

       The wonderful art in Ben Cab Museum served as the perfect backdrop for the opening and closing spiels for my lifestyle/travel show, #TrendingWithKelly. Of course, I had to take photos for my blog as well. Both outfits are from my show’s clothing sponsor, H&M (except the grey coat, which I got from Mango last season. For my shoes, the pointed lace ups are from Vince Camuto, and the white…

3 stylish bags to fit my busy working mom lifestyle

3 stylish bags to fit my busy working mom lifestyle

It’s funny, I always believed that when I would become a mom my life and career would slow down to a halt. I was so sure that brands wouldn’t hire me anymore and that I would spend the rest of my days as a stay-at-home-mom and blogger. Well, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. My life now is actually busier than it was before, not just because I have a baby to take care of, but because work…

5 reasons why Misibis Bay should be your next family travel destination

5 reasons why Misibis Bay should be your next family travel destination

I was recently asked by one of my followers in Instagram if I can recommend any baby-friendly beach resorts in the Philippines, as she was planning a vacation for her family. I thought about it and quickly came up with a list (which I decided deserves its own blog post–SOON). This was, of course, based on my recent experiences traveling with my husband and toddler Tristan. Misibis Bay was one of…

Healthy Finds: Liv Store

Healthy Finds: Liv Store

Since I started my Ketogenic journey four months ago, I’ve made a conscious effort to eat clean and healthy. This means making healthier choices everyday–eating more vegetables (organic, no GMO), fresh meats (preferably grass fed, with no antibiotics or hormones) and clean seafood (no farmed fish). I have to admit, its been quite a difficult path to take especially since all the unhealthy food…

A surprise party for my bestie at Bar Pintxos

A surprise party for my bestie at Bar Pintxos

It was my best friend Bianca Santiago-Reinoso’s birthday last August 23 (I know, this post is more than a little late) and we decided to surprise her with an intimate party at our favorite bar and resto. Of course, I am talking about Bar Pinxtos, a cool little spot in Alabang that serves amazing food, wine and cocktails. We were so happy our best girl got the surprise of her life (though she wont…

The Day I Wore: Ripped Jeans

The Day I Wore: Ripped Jeans

    These photos are actually from a recent shoot I did for Natalac, that was styled by my bestie Bianca Santiago-Reinoso and photographed by Sheila Catilo. We went out of the studio to take a break and ended up doing a quickie shoot (thanks to Sheila who still had her camera in her hand). The tank top and jeans I wore are both from Forever21, while my accessories were from Hey Jow!. My leather…

My top picks at Mika's shopping party in Max & Co

My top picks at Mika’s shopping party in Max & Co

A shopping party–what a fun way to celebrate a birthday! ❤ Mika, one of my dearest and oldest friends from the industry recently celebrated her birthday at Max & Co. (an SSI fashion brand under Max Mara) and it was super fab. Not only did we have the store to ourselves (I tried on so many great pieces), we got to drink gin cocktails while shopping! Personally, I don’t recall shopping at Max &…

What to order in Vietnamese restaurant: Nhà Em

What to order in Vietnamese restaurant: Nhà Em

I have to admit, I haven’t fully explored Vietnamese cuisine. I mean, I have tried PHO before, but that’s about it. I cannot recall any other dish that I’ve really tried–hmm, maybe spring rolls, but I’m not even sure if that was Vietnamese. I have heard some amazing things about their cuisine though, and I have friends who really plan trips to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh just to sample authentic…

Travel Diary: 12 hours in Madrid

Travel Diary: 12 hours in Madrid

What do you do when you only have 12 hours in Madrid? You eat, of course! But before we get to that, let me explain why we only had less than 24 hours in Madrid. This is so embarrassing, but well, I might as well admit it: I made the worst mistake and counted the dates wrong! So when counting the number of days per country, I didn’t include our travel time. I seriously thought we had about three…

My shopping finds at All Home Daanghari

My shopping finds at All Home Daanghari

Carlos and I are doing some home improvements at the moment, so pretty much every weekend is spent in home specialty stores to seek quality home basics, like furniture, storage, fixtures, lighting and gardening items. At this point, I feel like we’ve visited every other home store out there, but I have to say, one superstore has stood out in terms of value for money, great options and variety,…

How this brand celebrates its 20th year in the Philippines

How this brand celebrates its 20th year in the Philippines

I can’t believe Marks & Spencer is now celebrating their 20th year in the Philippines! What a milestone! I mean, what was I doing in 1997?! Haha I think I was in second year high school at the time, and super clueless about fashion. I remember though how Marks & Spencer was all the rage (likely because it had just opened in Manila), and all the cool girls in school had Marks & Spencer underwear,…

The Day I Wore: A Khaki Long Skirt

The Day I Wore: A Khaki Long Skirt

       I was going for a 90’s vibe when I got dressed that day. I couldn’t wait to wear this khaki long skirt I got on sale from Uniqlo x Ines de la Frassange. I paired it with layered tank tops from Mango, and wore my new favorite sneakers from Adidas (copped them from Pimp Kicks). ❤ Happy Monday!

Travel Diary: Sintra

I have to say, this gorgeous Portuguese town took me completely by surprise. I saw photos prior to booking the trip, but seeing it all up close was just spectacular. The town is known for its Romanticism style of architecture, and you can see this in the ancient castles, palaces and all around town. We couldn’t help but take plenty of photos as every corner is just picture-perfect. We spent one…
