I passed by Trollbeads boutique in Robinsons Magnolia many times but it was only last Sunday when I was able to enter the store. I was amazed at the display inside. Imagine, a crown ring with a dust of shimmering gold, calling for my attention a la Confessions of a Shopaholic hahaha Of course, I also took notice of the different Trollbeads available.

I was able to inquire about the brand, where it came from and what it's made of. One of the SAs patiently discussed the brand with me. Trollbeads' "bead on bracelet" concept definitely piqued my curiosity but that day, I went home empty-handed.

 Special Edition Trollbeads Luck and Joy Starter Bracelet (TB50540) PhP 8280 5,395

The next morning, I searched online and found out that Trollbeads originated in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1976- the year I was born! The first bead made was a small, silver bead decorated with 6 faces that, well, look like a troll hence the name Trollbeads.

In 2002, the first glass bead was made, like the one shown in the photo above. I was totally in awe while watching the video on how a piece of glass bead was made so I made a decision to buy one for myself ; p

Every story has a bead, read my story here. You can view about the rest of my Trollbeads here and here.

Awhile back, I went to the launching of The Little Things She Needs (TLTSN) in Eastwood City Walk 2. This is the brand's very first store here in the Philippines. The launching coincides with the 2nd year anniversary of the brand.

TLTSN is an Indonesian brand that offers affordable, comfortable and trendy fashion finds without compromising quality. It now has over 19stores in Indonesia, 3 stores in Singapore and opening soon in Thailand!

The Little things She Needs started out as a shoe brand but develops into a fashionista haven where cool and hip accessories can be bought.

By the way, I am eyeing this cool brown wedge shoes. Hopefully I can go back one of these days so I can grab my own pair!

OOTD: School Girl look

These days attending events posed a great challenge because I am only allowed to wear white colored blouses/tops. It is another one of the tradition that shows respect for my deceased mother-in-law.

I attended two events last October 27, 2011, one in Makati Shangri- la Hotel and the other one in Society Lounge. This photo was taken during the Pond's event in Society Lounge.

What I am wearing:

• Blouse from Korea
• YB by BSN (Bossini)
• Shoes from Taiwan

The white blouse was given to me by a family friend. There are a couple more like this blouse in our family because my SIL and I wore it during the wake. 

My Great Acccessory Sale Finds at Robinsons Galleria!

After going around the top two floors, our energy were winding down but we still have two floors to cover. We headed to my favorite fashionista haven, Accessorize. Going through all the fancy, funky and floral prints made me giddy and forgot about how tired I was from all the walking. Wait? Who says I'm tired. I will never get tired of shopping hahaha
