Lighting Picks

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

I don’t know if you guys also notice how I love taking pictures of beautiful lighting fixtures wherever I am, specially the oh so lovely chandeliers of the fancy restaurants and hotels. It’s kind of weird I think, but there are so many people who also loves taking snap of such things. But if I love having this thing as my photography subject, my mom loves collecting fancy lamp shades and ceiling lights! in fact, she still have number of boxes filled with unused lighting fixtures in the storage room, she says that in time she’ll be able to use those when she gets tired of the cute fancies we have in our house. Do you believe that she even bought the dining room light we have at our place too?! One time, she came carrying a huge box with a modern type lighting stuff inside!

Anyways, since she loves this kind of fixture, my sister and I introduced her to stylehive.com where she can check out the latest and nicest home decor and lighting fixtures online! With so much to choose from the modern type to Moroccan inspired to shabby chic type and even Asian styles are available! I wonder if those are pocket friendly too! will check it out later anyways.

Here are some of my top picks from the site’s huge collection, well yes, I love how they took the snap of each too :D

Do you also like ordering and buying custom made items?  Because I do! In fact, even it costs a bit more to the off the rack stuffs the idea that it was made according to your desire makes it more special right? Right. You see, I’m one of those who prefer using things that matches my personality and the idea of having to flaunt your own stuff without anyone having the same item is another plus factor! Anyways, speaking of custom ordering of items from bags, home decors, jewelries and even hand made soaps (just like the lovely photos below) can be seen, ordered at stylehive.com! An online site where you can find the nicest items on earth! Anything that is custom made are everywhere, you’ll really have a hard time choosing which design to get because everything is perfectly great. By the way, those specially made hand made soaps are perfect as wedding or birthday souvenirs! We should have gotten those for our wedding give away! But anyway, there is always next time, er I mean next special event to five some nice stuffs for souvenirs!

vintage clothing are so sleek and chic! do you also notice how the celebrities flaunt the 1940’s and 1950’s clothing?  With just a little twist here and there,  they are noticeably fab! In fact, even on the local clothing shops, vintage clothing are so in, the silk textures are back with vengeance! Ruffled skirts and oversize collared shirts, velvet dress and busted gowns too are raving over the racks of clothing stores. Most women now are into flaunting this kinds of clothes style, and I am one of the many who owns at least two or those oversize men plaid polo shirts, which I love wearing with wide belts to match skinny jeans that goes well with pointed heels too! So chic and fab right? I just wish  my body cooperates well with all the nicest fashion trends out there. Anyways, here are some style samples I snagged from stylehive.com where you can check out the latest trends in fashion and where you can buy the nicest finds online! Go check it out too!

One of my retail therapy is buying makeup from online stores. Be it mineral foundations to diamond dash lip gloss and all, everything as long that it has right colors and ingredients that will surely not irritate my skin. Never mind if cost a little higher than the other brands in the market today as long as you’re confident enough that even after using you can be sure of the good quality and the after effects of the products. And that I owe to stylehive.com where I usually read stuff about makeups, fashion styles and more! Fully detailed of information that every women would surely love! I actually digs the reviews that they rave and take note of suggestions and recommendations before I cart items online. In fairness, having an online guru when it comes to fashion, beauty and style can really make you feel at ease and more confident especially when you use the products they reccomend!
Anyways, here are some of my makeup picks from their list, different brands with different share of great effects on skin :D Am I about to buy this new things again?! Oh my goodness, I wonder until when can I hold
