day 15 - back to my youth

2011-08-16T01:29:00.004+08:00

When I saw these at the bookstore I couldn't help but smile like a kid.
Talk about vintage.

day 1 - welcome to our island

2011-08-01T14:56:00.004+08:00

habagat (monsoon) on our island means endless waves & blue light.

the beachbaby on our island!

2010-12-11T22:55:00.001+08:00

2010-11-06T00:05:00.002+08:00

thank you katrina for the pretty tape strips!

before sunset

2010-11-02T22:59:00.004+08:00

coming home

2010-10-17T21:57:00.002+08:00

... to the sight of the beach
the company of your friends
is the best way to end your travels.

day 31 - this is home

2010-08-31T01:47:00.001+08:00

home is wherever love resides :)

day 30 - to the sea

2010-08-31T01:45:00.001+08:00

day 29 - wanderlust

2010-08-31T01:32:00.001+08:00

day 28 - only the ocean

2010-08-31T00:52:00.005+08:00

After all this time
After all of this season
After your own decision to go to the water for a reason
It's only the ocean and you...

And all of these lines
Will all be erased soon
They'll go out with the tide
And come back with the waves
It's only the ocean and you...

Jack Johnson

day 27 - birds on a wire

2010-08-28T22:09:00.002+08:00

well not really :)
but they remind me of cartoon birds chatting on a telephone wire

day 26 - the other side of the island

2010-08-27T23:15:00.001+08:00

day 25 - sail away

2010-08-26T11:53:00.000+08:00

day 22 - a beautiful sunday

2010-08-22T21:32:00.002+08:00

day 20 & 21 - a new obsession

2010-08-21T23:33:00.003+08:00

i have been baking for 2 days. for 2 days i've been searching for recipes, learning conversions, educating myself with baking lingo and whipping up a chocolate storm. because yes, i have found a new obsession. one day i woke up & said it is time to bake. which is why for 2 days i had neglected my august break project & even as i picked up the camera today, i couldn't make my chocolate & flour covered fingers take a decent shot of my freshly baked dark chocolate orange cupcakes. which is absolutely yum. a recipe which i'll continue to play with just because i can :)

day 19 - where have the waves gone

2010-08-19T22:41:00.004+08:00

you see, august is supposed to be monsoon here on our little island. but it's been one hot day after the other with rare occasions of monsoon weather. it's pretty to have the sun out but i do miss the waves. i hope they come back, even for a day or two. i miss being on my board & surfing. this beachbaby needs to play in the water! :)

day 18 - it also rains in paradise

2010-08-18T23:08:00.002+08:00

happiness is staying indoors & listening to the sound of rain in my pajamas.

2010-08-18T00:31:00.000+08:00

2010-08-14T15:00:00.000+08:00

2010-08-11T13:06:00.000+08:00

yesterday we met this lovely beach momma, trudi who graciously let us take her photos with her equally adorable son marcus. they looked beautiful... walking on the beach, playing with the waves, totally happy in the sun.

2010-08-09T23:25:00.000+08:00

day 8 - mi casa

2010-08-08T22:18:00.000+08:00

day 7 - the beach is my playground

2010-08-07T21:50:00.000+08:00

can you imagine the joy in this little one's heart? :)

day 6 - barefoot happiness

2010-08-06T19:10:00.000+08:00

a beautiful night out on the island means hanging out with your best friends on the beach, listening to the sound of waves, guitar & drum music in the air, wind on our faces. no fancy clothes, no killer shoes... just a lot of bare & happy feet. :)

day 5 - clouds in my sky

2010-08-05T18:14:00.000+08:00

This August, The Beachbaby is taking part in Susannah's August Break ~ a fun way to be more active in the blogosphere. Each day for 31 days, The Beachbaby will be posting a photograph on this blog along with over a hundred other creative spirits. The idea is to be more present during the summer, which is monsoon on our side of the world by the way, by capturing moments that may otherwise be taken for granted.

We're excited to start clicking and sharing and seeing beautiful pictures from all over! :)

where has summer gone?

2010-06-26T00:42:00.000+08:00

summer has been a string of days filled with funtivities, laughter, happy trails & stories from the islands. all of which are sources of inspiration for our next fun & exciting collection. we'll be sure to keep you posted.

the day was perfect for a photo shoot. the beachbaby's new Isla collection felt right at home on our island. it was an afternoon of sweet mangoes, good vibes, plenty of laughter and the most amazing sunset. this is what we call island love!

Buy Me Love

made with love

2009-04-24T12:54:00.000+08:00

it's been a long while since we blogged but that doesn't mean we've been lazy. quite the opposite in fact. i've been on the road for four months, traveling in part with fellow beachbaby nikkibee; while jof had been soaking up the sun on our little island while bringing the beachbaby into the islanders' closets.

these past few days we've been working on our newest line, stitching happily away, taking some of the beachbaby staples (like the kaftan pictured below) and turning them into one of a kind items oozing with handmade goodness.

my dear friends & fellow beachbabies, a peek into our newest line Made With Love.

Another great news: we'll be in the Rockwell Urban Mom's Bazaar on May 1 to 3. See you there! Spread the love :)

spring awakening

2008-12-15T11:29:00.000+08:00

it has been a long time since we blogged. this beachbaby has been quite busy, heading to other beaches & surfing under the sun. we've also been quite busy for next year's collection. new & exciting things are brewing up, be sure to watch for it! and although the holidays aren't over yet, spring is already in our minds. right above is one of our inspiration boards for our upcoming spring collection.

the wind is back!

2008-11-06T16:17:00.000+08:00

rain or shine, i love living on this island. but i have to say that amihan is my favorite season.

when the winds come the place is transformed. on the other side of the island where i live, kites begin to find their way across the sky. my kite-boarding friends trade late nights for early mornings.

imagine waking up to this. it's absolutely breathtaking.

here's hoping the wind sends you a dose of sunshine & some island love.

transitions

2008-11-04T09:39:00.001+08:00

october is usually a month of transition. when it's not quite habagat (monsoon) and not quite amihan (windy season). the rains have not really stopped yet, the winds would come then go & the sun would decide to peek now and then. this is one of those days. seemingly habagat when the sky is filled with clouds & the light casts a dreamy blue air. then typically amihan when the white beach is calm and the paraws (our local sailboats) are aplenty.

we walked to the south end & back, where the flurry of tourist activity started to slow down & local life began.

and there goes another lovely day in the life of a beachbaby.

the wrap

2008-11-03T11:40:00.000+08:00

this beachbaby works as a wrap dress & a wrap skirt.

comes in white, yellow, caramel, aquamarine, black & blue green.

for orders email thebeachbaby@gmail.com

off to neverland

2008-11-02T16:21:00.000+08:00

on hallow's eve, the beachbabies decided to go as peter pan & the lost boys.

that's jof with denise as the lost boys

me as peter pan

oh & tink came!

the beach was like a scene out of a sci-fi historical retro hippie fairy tale movie. the rain didn't do anything to dampen the party. eventually the skies cleared and gave way to a beautiful sunrise.

what better way to end halloween than with a new day at neverland.

clean as we go

2008-10-25T22:39:00.000+08:00

having lived on the island for almost 4 years, i've gone on many long walks along the beach, whined on too many times about the trash & stooping down countless times as i will myself to pick up one dirty piece at a time.

today however was the first day the beachbabies did it together.

jof wears gauchos in chocolate brown

i'm wearing my tie front skirt in blue green

there's so much trash out there, on our lovely beach. it's not like most people throw candy wrappers, grocery bags, cigarette butts, beer bottles and the occasional old toothbrush in their own backyard. people fail to see that this island, no matter how much of a tourist destination it is, is also other people's home. our home.

we can think of reason after foolish reason why anybody would want to leave that empty bag of chips lying around, instead of finding a trash can to throw it in or stuffing it in their own bags for them to throw into a proper garbage bin later. beyond these reasons, i can see no logic, nada, as to why anyone would want to destroy a place as beautiful as this. or worse, how some can turn easily turn a blind eye and not care.

it means there's more work to be done. we can all do our part. bring your own portable ashtray; say no to plastic bags; and clean as you go.

please join us in keeping our beaches clean. it is for each and everyone of us.

the beach is our playground

ianne runs with sunshine in a wrap around tube top that doubles as a wrap around skirt (i know, it's genius right?) while carla looks on in fuchsia gauchos.

a day in the life of a beachbaby

2008-10-22T17:00:00.000+08:00

it was a fun afternoon at the jungle bar, our friends' newest beach shack on the other side of the island - bolabog beach. the shoot went really well, thanks to the enthusiasm of the young beach bums

ok they were a bit shy at first, but very cute nonetheless :) we also enjoyed a typical merienda of banana cue which we devoured by the time this photo was over.

it was also our first shoot with our new partner, jof (in the black maxi dress). who happens to be our photographer's baby sister :)

but hands down, the star of the show is literally a beachbaby, bugsay

isn't she the cutest?
