Every person who loves vintage pieces wants to look for inspiring items everywhere. There's no time to waste here, knowing that vintage items are rarely seen in our favorite stores. For now, let me share with you some ideas to fill your living rooms with the right vintage pieces.

1. Choose simple pieces to harmonize a vibrant place.

It's really inspiring to decorate a room that's full of vibrancy since the colors are awesome. All you have to do is create a subtle balance. For example, you can choose a part of your living room where you put a darker color such as fuchsia pink, dark blue and blazing red. Then, choose vintage pieces to break the monotony. For a simple look, a small center table is a good choice. Obviously, this design is perfect for wooden floor design.

The Beauty of Wearing Houndstooth Clothing Pieces

We know that style stays forever. That sounds true to all fashion lovers who wear houndstooth clothing pieces. Even if the trend was very popular last year, many stylish ladies still wear houndstooth pieces nowadays.

The beauty of wearing houndstooth clothing items is simple: texture and style combined provides semi-edgy style that doesn't just fade through the years. All you have to do is experiment and pair it with different pieces to maximize the look.

Personally, I prefer wearing houndstooth skirts and jackets to add texture to a delicate top or blouse. Earlier this month, I had picture-taking at SM Aura grounds since I was wearing a pink houndstooth A-line skirt, white long-sleeve blouse and Forever 21 strappy sandals. I really like the color combination of the attire and here, I've posted my favorite photo from the said activity.

My inspiration for the photo shoot was Demi Lovato since she wore a houndstooth mini skirt last year at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Choice Awards. She finished off the look with a pair of heeled shoes and a white long-sleeve top. I'm also inspired with a post by Complete Fashion about the trend.

Are you a fan of this trend? Let's talk about it in the comments below. Cheers!

Descendants of the Sun

Two months ago, I heard about a very popular Korean television series entitled, Descendants of the Sun. At that time, I just finished watching Someone Like You on YouTube. When I watched the first few episodes of the series, I started to follow its story. The television project was remarkable.

Currently, Descendants of the Sun continue to shine across the globe. Many leading television networks from around the world bought rights to air the show in their respective countries. Obviously, fans of the famed Korean drama continue to support it, even up to now.

Many bloggers posted their own review of the show. I really liked the post of Rolala about this on her blog. I also found an amazing feature at Yes Style for your reference. My own review was posted on my official blog, Karence Lopez.

Personally, I have a lot of favorite scenes of the show. My favorite was the time when Captain Yoo helped Doctor Kang Mo-Yeon to tie her shoelaces. It was an emotional and romantic scene that depicts the amazing bond of the two leading characters. If we think about it in a deeper way, it's like telling us that love exist even in the most depressing circumstances. No one shouldn't give up on true love. I think a lot of people like the television series a lot because Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo was able to portray their characters in a natural way. The chemistry between the two lead stars were obvious even at the start of the story.

Recently, Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo won the Most Popular Male and Female in TV Awards at 52nd Baeksang Art Awards and Descendants of the Sun got Grand Prize in TV Award.

If you're a fan of Descendants of the Sun and you want to share your thoughts about the show, let's talk about in the comments below. Cheers!

During summer, camping is one of the most enjoyable activities. Many people love to organize a camping event during summer. It is very exciting to live with your friends in the park, especially when amazing activities are in store for you.

Last year, we had an exciting summer activity in the province. It was a three-day camp with the youth. The organizers made sure that everything is well-planned, especially the food, transportation and the program.

One of the most memorable activities is swimming. It made me think about the metro and the pool parties that we had at Watercamp Resort in Cavite. We planned to visit a nearby river because the plan for a pool party in a swimming pool is set another week. We had cooking lessons for the participants, too. After all, it was summer and all forms of outdoor events are in line for the youth.

We walked to reach the river with the youth. We had fun in doing so. At least ten young men and women are with my team at that time. We passed by a creek and a farm. The view is really wonderful. It was worth it all.

I saw many people who joined the swimming activity. I didn't join the team because I was assigned to guard the participants. I just enjoyed the view as I did my task for the day.

One Great Summer Story

One of the most memorable stories in my life is living in a new place and experience amazing things in life. It is part of my life and I always treasure the things that I learned from it. I’d like to share it in this post.

Two years ago, I left the corporate world to have a vacation in a far away place. It was my first time to live there. I have friends in that small city that is why I didn't feel lonely.

I rented a small apartment so that my husband and our pets can live with me. But before they traveled to be with me, I had a chance to live alone there. I had swimming, too. Because of that, I missed many Cavite resorts. I also visited the beach for sightseeing every afternoon. I was able to travel in many parks, villages and farms.

However, one of the most memorable things that happened there is when I became friends with a dog. Her owner lives with his daughter near our place. I learned something about Chara. It's loyalty that I cannot forget about her. When I finally left the place, I really cried because I have to leave her behind. Her master cannot attend to her needs because of work that is why. But I moved on as expected and just prayed that everything will be alright.
