Thanks Tessa for always sharing your celebrations with Heart2Heart and hubby James 🙂 We enjoyed!
I made sure this time I got a giveaway 🙂 And went home as always with a smile thanks to you
My cousins Catherine and Kathy has a great idea!!!!! They suggested that we copied this photo they saw at the Newport Mall at Resorts World! I thought it was a great idea!! But how to manage a family of 60? hmmm….and to get everyone to actually be matching. I told them that we needed family members to help pick out the clothes and style the shoot. Then of course hire a professional photographer to make sure that all the efforts don’t go to waste! But the idea didn’t push through 🙁
Here is another version of that ad which I saw in a magazine. FUN!!!! and so “out of the box” rather than always having a family photo by the Christmas tree!!
Then James sent me this! hmmmm….
and here are more pegs from my Tita Nedy……
The closest to a properly styled photograph is this one of our friend, Manoling and Sandie!
Next year, I am going to try to attempt to style our family christmas photo. Here is an ad which I thought might fit my family, me and my three boys and our Boston Terrier Romeo 🙂

Javs was very insistent on having a christmas party for the household staff, so i told him to send me his proposal on writing and this is what he sent me…….
When I was a kid, My sister and I were in charge of the staff party which my Mom made us organize. I am so glad that my son is very thoughtful and loves the household staff and that he is the one taking the initiative to do this on his own. He used his own saving to buy prizes and some ingredients for the food.
Here he is in boxer shorts 🙂 playing the games with the staff
We were busy moving houses that day and he stayed and prepared for the party. It started at 730pm and we passed by at 10pm and this is what we saw in our garage – they were playing musical chairs 🙂
Their homemade food 🙂

AUTUMN WINTER 2011- 2012 COLLECTION
‘Urban Sports Wear, Design & Technological Innovation’
The Autumn Winter 2011-2012 Zegna Sport Collection fuses technical sport inspired design with quality and comfort, always perfectly balancing a sporty and urban lifestyle look for the leisure needs of today’s modern man, who likes to be comfortable yet sophisticated.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
‘THERMOTENE’, Zegna Sport’s latest cutting edge innovation.
A revolutionary ultra-high performance fabric that absorbs the sunlight’s infrared rays, transforming them into heat energy. This ingenious technology utilizes energy which has travelled over 149.6 million km to create and maintain warmth.
RECYCLE
‘ECO-WARMER’, the new “sustainable project” by Zegna Sport.
Made by 100% recycled contents which are used for padding, lining, outer fabric, seam taping and the inner collar hood to provide an ecologically sustainable “green” product – protecting both the wearer and his environment.
INNOVATIVE COMBINATIONS
‘IDRO NAPPA JACKET’, combines ultra soft lamb nappa with lightshell nylon to give a wearable look to luxury outerwear.
The Zegna Sport ‘KNITWEAR’ uses Lightshell water repellent nylon combined with the most precious merino wool to give an aesthetic look for performance driven apparel.
Quilted ultra soft leather changes the idea of a sport bag into an urban lifestyle accessory. Looking back to the most appreciated styles Zegna Sport creates a wide range of bags and backpacks embellished with hardware details in satinized metal.
Zegna Sport sneakers are the result of advanced research from innovative materials to complete an urban look with a sporty touch given by ultra-light and comfortable constructions.
In the Philippines, Ermenegildo Zegna is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Rustan’s
Since the year 2008, when I met Rachelle, I have celebrated Christmas with her in her home. There was none last year since she was busy moving homes, so technically I have not missed any of her Christmas celebrations. And I don’t plan to miss any for as long as I can. Thank you Rachelle for always sharing with me your home and your friendship

And more fresh pine on the ledges of her place, I love the way she makes her home so cozy with her personalized touch
