Leather & Lace: The ManikaManila Valentine Meet 2014

Last February 22, we held our annual Valentine meet with the theme Leather & Lace. Dolls were required to don either a leather, lace or leather & lace ensemble. This was the first meet I organized as a moderator for ManikaManila, and it makes me really proud and happy to have a great turnout for this meet. ;w;

The meet was held in Tutto Domani, a quaint restaurant specializing in mouth-watering comfort food. The restaurant also doubles as a toy store. They carry designer toys such as Kidrobot and Tokidoki. Aside from the usual dolly admiring, chit-chatting, we held a contest for best costume and we also had a doll version of Never Have I Ever. XD

These folks were by far the most fashionable that day, so they get cover photo status. <3

My big girls Rowan and Blair were the only ones in attendance from me for a change. Here they are with Violet. :3

The Valentine meet wouldn't be complete without my favorite couple, Ninon & Dice! *v*

My fooooood. I ordered a TD Longganisa Sandwich Power Platter. IT'S SO GOOD.

The winners of the costume contest: Mathilde (lace), Vixen (leather) and Malena (leather & lace). All of these were handmade!

Tutto Domani's staff were very nice and accommodating! We'd probably go back there again for a smaller meet since the place was a bit small for the number of attendees (there were more than thirty of us!). Also, it was gloomy outside, so please bear with the less than stellar photos. ^^

Delf Girl Type 3 Body for Sale on DoA

I've decided to put up Blair's Delf body up for sale on Den of Angels. She'll come in her original LUTS box (or not, if you prefer her unstrung). I'll be getting a Feeple60 body from a friend for her. If you're interested, head over to the thread here. :)

Le Bunny Bleu Love

Currently, no other shoe shop makes my heart thump faster than Le Bunny Bleu. Their romantic vintage image and aesthetic fit perfectly with my personal style, it makes me cry. I also love how they focus on comfort without compromising style.

To be honest though, until recently, I could only stare and weep at LBB's gorgeous shoes because their prices are a little on the steep side. Imagine my joy when they did a 50% discount sale a couple of weeks ago! I went crazy and bought THREE pairs all in one go! I got the Beige Allen Loafers, Black Sina Flats and the Navy Elvin Oxfords. (pictured above)

So now my feet are super happy! But the funny thing about my feet is that they're never contented lol. Below are some other styles I'm looking to buy when the opportunity arises!

Grey Robyn Loafers, Brown Maya Lace Boots, Brown Lorena Lace Boots, Black Attina Hidden Heel Sneakers

Like what you see? Hop on over to the nearest Le Bunny Bleu branch near you (preferrably when they're on sale lol)! They currently have branches at East Wing Shangri-la Plaza and Glorietta 5 (Metro Manila, Philippines only).
