Fashion Tips: A Local Touch on Foreign Streets

Posted by Tippi | Apr 20, 2018 | Fashion Tips |

Traveling is all about new experiences, but sometimes it’s fun to bring a touch of home with you wherever you go–and if the world is a stage and every sidewalk is a runway, then the best way to do that is through fashion. Because as the world becomes more homogenized and ‘fast-fashioned’, what better way to individualize your look and stand out from the crowd on foreign streets than to add a bit of local flavour? On many of Ito’s and my trips, I try to mix a modern Filipiniana piece with my streetwear basics for a more contemporary, ‘real style’ take on local fashion. For autumn...

Madrid: New Places, New Faces

Posted by Tippi | Apr 2, 2018 | Travel Stories |

(This is the second of two blog posts. Read the first one here “New Horizons: Surprise Trip to Madrid”) Traveling has always been such a big part of Ito’s and my life from way before we got married. Getting to know new places always brings us such a delightful thrill, and that’s especially true when it’s combined with getting to know new people as well. On our last trip to Madrid, we had the pleasure of meeting and bonding with some very, very lovely women from different parts of the world. After the initial thrill of being in a new city,...

New Horizons: Surprise Trip to Madrid

Posted by Tippi | Mar 31, 2018 | Travel Stories |

I can’t believe we’re already a quarter of the way into 2018!!! 😮 This is my first blog post in quite a while, as I plan to ease back into writing more regularly. I’ve been looking forward to sharing our unexpected trip to Madrid late last year which I found out we were going on soon after my birthday–what a lovely gift! This was Ito’s and my first time to the capital of Spain, although we had visited Barcelona years ago, and it was fun getting to know a whole new city again. The weather in November was ideal, with bright sunshine, intense blue skies and enough chill...

Wedding Tips: Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Posted by Tippi | Aug 27, 2017 | Bridal, Fashion Tips |

Saying “I do” is so much more fun and interesting these days. Soon-to-wed couples now have many options available to them, from far-flung destination weddings to barefoot elegant affairs that allow more of the couples’ personalities and idiosyncrasies to be reflected in the festivities. The best part is, nowadays it’s the little personal touches (rather than the ostentatious flourishes) that really elevate an affair from simply being another “special event” to creating a celebration that’s distinctly and memorably your own. So what are some of the easy, elegant tips for today’s millenial bride and groom? First of all, beyond...

Diary of a Garden Rose (and a Non-Gardener)

Posted by Tippi | Aug 26, 2017 | The Tippi Point |

It’s been a busy past few weeks for Ito and me, but instead of fashion we’ve found ourselves focused on an ‘adulting’ aspect of life–home maintenance. But surprisingly, even amidst the cleaning and clearing, recycling and restoring, repairing and repainting, there was still a lot of design inspiration to be found 🙂 One afternoon, after most of the paint touch-ups in the house had been done, some shadows fell on the cover we had used to catch the paint drippings, and the shaded areas looked a bit like a rose. So with the leftover paint, we decided to create...
