1. Artfully messy hair paired with wispy bangs What do some of our favorite French muses Françoise Hardy, Brigitte Bardot, Betty Catroux, Caroline de Maigret, Sophie Marceau, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lou Doillon, and Jeanne Damas have in common? They look like they just rolled out of bed, and somehow, it works?…

Longchamp’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection is a fresh take on their Parisienne classics. You’ll be surprised how bold some of their new bags are compared to their usual styles. All the pieces have an empowering feel to them, as if the Longchamp woman suddenly decided to take control of her life…

After a long hiatus, Vania Romoff is back with her biggest and best collection yet. Last July, I had the honor of being invited to her Fall/Winter 2017 presentation as one of her muses and wearing a beautiful golden number that she specifically created for the event. It’s actually a…

Better late than never! Finally posting about this event from last April. 2 years ago, I was nominated as one of the top 4 finalists for the lifestyle category at Influence Asia, Asia’s largest social media awards show. I didn’t expect anything because I was nominated alongside some of the biggest…

Finding magic in seemingly ordinary moments! Our usual Sunday routine of visiting our families (and our dogs) was met with very promising behavior from Chichay, Rg’s family’s resident shih tzu slash ball of fluff. It’s not always about looking fancy 24/7, or living a glamorous life. If the simplest, most…

Remember that one holiday Monday in June, when Rg and I went to UP to shoot the sunflowers but we were met with an abnormally strong afternoon shower? Before we got ourselves completely drenched, we sought refuge at a nearby cafe to wait for the dark clouds to pass. We’ve…

On days when my mom would tell me to go back to QC and fix my room, I’d always make sure to meet up and have coffee with friends who live in the area. I feel that starting my day early and squeezing in a million activities make my tedious…

(We shot this set of photos some time ago, but I couldn’t find the right words to say until now.) When you’ve been so consistently you these past x years, it’s not hard to simply be the same old Tricia with the simple outfit and the simple white background. Not…

Last month, I went on a quick Kansai getaway with my college friends. 2 of them were first time visitors, while the rest haven’t been able to visit in the last 6-8 years. This being said, I became the designated tour guide by default! Right before the trip, I made a…
Taipei Main Station is located right smack in the center of Taipei, and is home to different transportation services such as buses, trains, railways, and pretty much everything the city can offer. My family and I decided to walk around this area, from the 2/28 Peace Park all the way…
Taipei’s art scene never disappoints. You’ll be surprised to always find limited-time exhibitions by prolific Japanese artists, such as this Mika Ninagawa one at the Museum of Contemporary Art / MoCA. My love for Mika Ninagawa goes way back – in 2010, AKB48 came out with their iconic Heavy Rotation video,…
I usually have a love-hate relationship with Mango sales – every visit leaves me with more paper bags and less space in my closet. This time, however, I’d like to think I’m older and wiser with my purchases. I promised myself to follow a certain shopping criteria since I don’t…

I’m sure it’s no surprise that RG and I love a good cup of coffee. Our first date was actually a coffee date, and since then, we’ve had so many bonding sessions in different coffee shops around the metro. After we moved in together, it took us a while to get a coffee…
