Firma’s Triad!

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

I always believed that good things always come in threes. I love the text invites I get from Chito Vijandre and Ricky Toledo, the dynamic duo behind one of the most chic stores in town! The text message invite is always personal and it always has a quirky anecdote in the end, so having received the invite instantly makes you want to go. FIRMA has always been the home of the best fashion accessories in the land! This is where Bea Valdes started her now super famous brand.

The evening was the unveiling of 3 of FIRMA’s most talented Jewelry designers:  Kristine Dee, Michelline Syjuco and Paul Syjuco. It was so inspiring just to see their work. I am certain that it was a major success!

The FIRMA boys! I was digging their Holiday colors! Each time I bump into them, it's like they ooze happiness!

Delphine Groult

The best store windows in the entire Philippine Archipelago belong to the stores of Ricky Toledo & Chito Vijandre! They have the most intelligent and fabulous show windows! They truly bring the JOY to what we call window shopping! Every time I pass their stores AC+632 and Firma, my heart just bursts with delight!

Just this weekend, I was passing by their store in Greenbelt 5 and once more, my heart skipped a beat. Adorning the windows were the works of French furniture designer Delphine Groult. I first heard of her through my friend Pauline Juan, who told me to look for her when I went to Cebu. I did not find her, but I was so happy to finally see her work in AC+632! I love her pieces! They are the type of pieces that would give any room that decided punch of interest, much like a fantastic pair of shoes or a bright scarf the spruces up any outfit! That is how her items react to me! NOTE to self: the minute that I start on my new flat, I will need a Delphine Groult piece! Get yourselves to AC+632 now and see for yourselves!


Delphine is based in Cebu and she is really creating a huge following worldwide!

I want this! NOW NA!

OH EM GEE! This is just the cutest thing ever! CHITO & RICKY!!!!! You guys just kill me! Can I buy that red scarf painting when you're done with it? I LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!

HUGS!
RAJO!
