Ideas and inspiration for the modern woman, written with love. I’m Viennelyn, and I’m so happy you’re here. Each page was lovingly crafted with you in mind.

I can't even begin to describe the overwhelming joy I felt during our Maui photoshoot with @janthonymartinezphoto. As some of you may know, my husband and I have been dreaming of returning to Maui since our wedding there last year. So we finally decided to take a trip and soak up all the island has to offer, including a magical Valentine's Day celebration.

Working with @janthonymartinezphoto was an absolute dream come true. He was kind and easy to talk to, making the whole experience feel like we were hanging out with an old friend. And when we finally saw the photos he captured, we loved them!

We were over the moon with the stunning floral designs from @asaflowers for the photoshoot and during our stay. They truly added that extra touch of magic to our already amazing experience.

What's your favorite tropical destination to escape to? Share your thoughts in the comments below, my lovely friends.

Halekulani is a truly enchanting place, with a special kind of magic that's difficult to put into words. My husband and I loved this resort, especially the Orchids restaurant. The ocean views were breathtaking, and we felt so grateful to start our day in such a stunning place. And the food at Orchids was every bit as incredible as the scenery. Each dish was crafted with care and presented beautifully, and we couldn't get enough of the Kai breakfast—a delightful twist on a classic Japanese breakfast.

If you're seeking an exceptional dining experience on Oahu, make sure to visit Orchids at Halekulani. This resort embodies luxury and romance, and we're already planning our next trip back. We're counting down the days until we can experience the magic of this remarkable destination once again.

Do you love Hawaii as much as we do? If so, what's your favorite place to stay or dine in Oahu? Let me know in the comments below.

I’m feeling so grateful to have returned from the most incredible trip to Maui with my husband. It was such a special experience to revisit the place where we exchanged our vows last June and create even more unforgettable memories together. We finally had the chance to explore the island’s natural beauty, indulge in delicious cuisine, and soak in all the magic that we missed out on last year while preparing for our wedding.

A heartfelt thank you to @asaflowers for the stunning bouquets that added even more beauty to our stay, and to the @ritzcarltonkapalua for the warm welcome back. Maui will always hold a special place in our hearts, and I’m beyond lucky to have a husband who is not only my best friend but also my adventure buddy all in one. Feeling so grateful for this journey we’re on together.

Spring is just around the corner, and I'm already dreaming of all the fabulous fashion accessories for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons! My husband and I recently returned from a blissful week in Maui and Oahu. It was the perfect escape for us to unwind, bask in the sun, and revisit the islands where we exchanged our vows to relive the magic of our wedding day. We indulged in our favorite local delicacies and explored new attractions, but mostly spent time together relaxing from the stress of everyday life.

One item that I simply adore and brought with me on this trip is my Prada Raffia Tote. I paired it with my favorite Hermès Chypre sandals, and it was my go-to bag for every occasion—whether it was lounging on the beach, taking a dip in the pool, sightseeing, or enjoying a romantic dinner. Although it's a bit of an investment piece, I can honestly say that it's worth every penny. On my blog, I shared an honest review of the Prada Raffia Bag and why it's a must-have for your summer wardrobe. Link in bio!

I would love to know your favorite romantic getaway destination and what you think of the Prada Raffia Bag. Does it captivate your heart as it does mine? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Hello, my loves! How are you taking care of yourselves this week? I've recently started incorporating a morning and evening meditation practice into my routine using the Calm app, and it's been amazing so far. The guided meditations are helping me start and end my day with a clear mind and a grateful heart.

Meditation has been shown to have so many amazing benefits for our mental health, such as reducing stress and anxiety, boosting our mood, and promoting self-awareness and mindfulness. By focusing on the present moment and letting go of distractions, we're able to calm our minds and regulate our emotions. And the best part? Regular meditation can actually lead to structural changes in our brain, enhancing our attention, empathy, and self-awareness.

And now, for a little fashion inspiration, I just wanted to share one of my all-time favorite pieces from Sezane. The Alban Sweater is a timeless piece I've been wearing for years. It's cozy, feminine, and just the right touch of chic. I can't wait to wear it for many more years to come.

Hello, my loves. In light of recent events, I hope you’re all doing well, taking care of yourselves, and spending time with those you love. I took a short social media break over the last few days. It’s been heartbreaking to hear what’s been going on, and I wish I could do more to help. As you all know, I’m focusing on my wellness this year, which includes limiting my time on social media if needed. It can sometimes be challenging because I’m also in social media and marketing for my career. It’s a delicate balance that I’m learning to work on.

On a lighter note, I wanted to share a little unboxing of my new Hermès coffee cup set. I’ve wanted these for a while, but they’re always sold out online and hard to come by in boutiques. I was lucky enough to grab a set, and I’m absolutely in love with it. I’m excited to start my mornings with a bit of extra luxury and style.

I’d love to hear about the self-care practices you all have been focusing on lately and what you think of the Hermes coffee cup set. Is it on your wishlist as well? Let me know in the comments below.

The long weekend was the perfect opportunity for me to prioritize self-care and wellness—as you all know, these are my top priorities for this year. Taking it easy and slowing down were just as important as reading for me. I found that by taking the time to relax, unwind, and de-stress from daily life, I was able to recharge my mind and body. It allowed me to focus on my well-being and spend quality time with loved ones. Reading, in particular, is a form of self-care for me because it allows me to relax, understand different perspectives, and even sleep better at night. And taking it slow helped me reduce burnout and fatigue, allowing me to return to my daily routine feeling refreshed and energized. It’s amazing how something as simple as reading and slowing down can have such a positive impact on my overall well-being.

Also, I’m currently in my cozy girl era and loving it! The Toteme scarf jacket has been on my list for a while now, and I finally found the perfect camel version. However, I’m still deciding between that and the embroidered version - which one do you think I should keep?

What do you think of the Toteme scarf jacket? Do you love it as much as I do or do you tend to stick to more classic pieces for your wardrobe?

As part of my journey toward wellness and self-care in 2023, I'm committing to being gentle and kind to myself, especially when things don't go as smoothly as I had hoped. Self-compassion is important because it allows us to be understanding and empathetic toward ourselves, increasing resilience and overall well-being. It's about treating ourselves with the same warmth and understanding that we would show to a dear friend. Studies have shown that self-compassion can help to ease feelings of anxiety and depression, boost self-esteem and emotional regulation, and encourage us to be less critical of ourselves. Also, it inspires us to make positive changes rather than feeling defeated or overwhelmed by our mistakes.

And on the topic of self-care, I wanted to share one of my personal guilty pleasures—my favorite Chanel classic flap purses and Chanel Slingback heels. These ageless designs never fail to make me feel sophisticated and classic.

How do you show yourself self-compassion? What are some of your favorite guilty fashion pleasures? Let me know in the comments below.

The new year always feels like a fresh start, and I’m excited about all the new changes and adventures it brings. I wanted to share some exciting news with you—I was lucky enough to add some beautiful Chanel loafers to my collection and couldn’t be happier! I’ve had my eye on these loafers for a while now, and I feel so fortunate to have added them to my collection.

I’m also thrilled to announce that I started a new job this year, and it’s been an amazing experience so far. I feel so grateful to be given this opportunity, and I love every minute of it. For those of you who have been asking to see more of my personal life and career journey, I plan to share more on my stories and posts this year. Be sure to check out my review of the loafers on my blog. Link is in my bio.

What changes or new adventures are you looking forward to most this year?

I can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store for us, and I am excited to share all the new adventures that come our way.

This Christmas Eve, I am excited to share our special 'Twas the night before Christmas' themed dinnerware. I wanted the theme to be classic, but also add a little bit of Christmas fun. My husband and I are putting together a delicious feast of our favorite traditional Filipino dishes and a delicious German goose.

To all of you who are celebrating with your loved ones, I wish you a very merry Christmas filled with love, laughter, and joy. May the Christmas holiday bring you all the happiness and magic you deserve. 🎄❤️

Last night’s date night at Enchant was an amazing experience for my husband and I. The holiday lights and decorations were absolutely breathtaking, and we felt like we were in our own personal winter wonderland. We loved the delicious drinks and food, and the ice bar added extra fun to our evening. It was the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.
