Tea Party for Rachelle

By | Celebrations, Fashion, Foodie | One Comment

Rachelle asked me if she should have her birthday in her place or in Enderun, I said Enderun 🙂   And she asked me three times if I was coming and I always tell her as long as I am in town, I will always be present for her special day

And it was a beautiful venue.  They closed the Bistro for that afternoontea-party-for-rachelle-2.JPG

The birthday girl

 The birthday girl set up the party – she even brought her linens and she decorated each table with red roses

I thought this was her romantic table for her and her husband, Chef Thomas but apparently it was for her two sons – Curtis and Justin.  Her kids are always present in her birthday celebrations

It’s always all girls plus Chef Laudico and sometimes my cousin Gippy! 🙂

I tried something different this year, I took note of each one’s purse.  After all I noticed that all Rachelle’s friends are all so beautiful and very fashionable.  I always wondered how I fit in that but I figured I am her friend that documents all the pretty details of her life 🙂  Many of you who love bags will know the bags just by looking at it so I did not label the bags anymore

Since I am not used to this, I actually forgot to take photos of some purses and I apologize for that

And of course there will always be the food section

Battle for the Bags

By | Classifieds/Segunda Mano, Fashion, Giving Back, Great Ideas | 2 Comments

What a great idea!!!!!  So nice of friends of Rhea – Chary Mercado, Chinie Hidalgo Diaz, Gem Mañosa, Gene Tamesis, Willy de Ocampo, Tech Alegre and Rhea’s sister, Donna Ferro and cousin, Gigi Eala –  to help her fight her battle against cancer.

Rhea has had an eight year battle with breast cancer.  This year she was admitted in a treatment program at Stanford Cancer Center but to join that, she has to stay in the US for a year.  All funds raised will pay for her living expense while she is there

Most of the bags will be marked with fixed prices ranging from P 1,000.00 to P 2,500.00.  The very nice designer bags in good condition have starting prices from P 3,000 all the way up to P 40,000 and those will be the ones up for auction.  It will be a silent auction.  The bidding starts at 3pm and closes at  4:30pm and the winner can take home the bag that day.  According to Chary, they have almost every brand name, recent models and vintage ones.  It’s a great outlet for fashionistas because they will sell at less than half of retail.  It’s also a chance to get bags that are no longer being sold or those that do not retail in the Philippines.  Here are some of the bags
