Real Bride: Jad

"Hi Bonne!
How are you? Thought I'd send you some photos from my wedding. Everyone loved the veil, it was the perfect touch and made a beautiful day even more meaningful. Thank you so much for your talent and artistry.


Regards,
Jad Montenegro-Amor


ps. I have also included links to the ceremony and reception videos, in case they might be of any interest--if anything, simply to see your work perched on my head! "


Jad is a lovely bride who sent me an email all the way from Davao last year.  She wanted a birdcage veil to wear to the church ceremony with a detachable feather clip to wear to the reception.  Thank you so much Jad for sending me your lovely photos.  :)

"Hi! Here are my wedding photos. Everybody loved my pillbox hat and fascinator. Others commented that they loved the European look of my ensemble and your wonderful hat and hair accessory did much to make it look so. Tnx! =)" -Apple

black swan

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a ballerina or an ice skater.  Maybe it  had something to do with the fluidity of their movements, their grace and unbelievable flexibility--or maybe it was their outfits.  

I took ballet lessons when I was a kid, but I got restless and moved on to other summer classes like tap dancing and, yes, hula dancing.  I never really pursued any of them after only a few sessions, much to my grandmother's frustration.  But still, seeing the trailer of Black Swan got me all excited. I can't wait to see it!  I don't know if it's out yet here.

 Maybe I'll wear one of these to the movie... I have yet to decide if I should wear black or white. Oh, and maybe throw in a tutu skirt to complete the outfit :)

For the Jazz Singer

My friend will be performing this Saturday with her jazz band, The Jive Project.  She asked me to make a headpiece for her, circa 1950's style. :)  Catch her wearing this fascinator on Saturday, Jan 22, 9pm at Chef and Brewer Ortigas.

Tete A Tutu !

This piece is made especially for a lovely friend. 

Tiered goodness in black with 2 layers of hot pink  at the bottom.
