All I want for Christmas
MANILA, Philippines -The simple, unimposing yet elegant design of this Heure H Sertie is what makes this Hermès timepiece number 1 in my Christmas wish list. The magenta-colored strap lends a feminine touch to the square outline of the face. Definitely a classic nod at the timeless luxury brand.

I just simply adore this lace-inset top from BCBGMAXAZRIA. It’s the perfect blend of structure and femininity. The structured bodice and draped peplum lend the piece a sophisticated air. I also love that it’s versatile enough to pair with a skirt for work or dress down with jeans.
