Finally!

August 21, 2010 Blah, Blah, Blah, Latest Buys Comments


Hoorrrrraaayyyy! :cool: Finally found a vintage Japanese bike! Got it for Php2,300. ;) I’m ready to pimp my new ride. :lol:


Ultimate girly bike in pink! Give me a week or two and my bike will look like this sample photo from destinee16. ;)


Mama actually bought 2 bicycles, one for me and Papa (original price is Php2500, discounted to Php2300). :)   This photo from The Ukay Queen is a great peg for the 2nd bike.

Woopieee! :D I’m excited! I’ll use the bike on my way to work (which is 5-10 minutes away from home). Saves me gas, saves the environment and gives me exercise! Hoorrraayyy!

BB Vanity

August 4, 2010 Gadgets, Latest Buys Comments

Amazon.com is the best place to get unique BB cases. Remember my 1st batch of cases ordered last December? :) I ordered again and they arrived 2 weeks ago.


I kinda wasted my money on them. If only I knew that local sellers in eBay already have them in hand… :roll:


BB is taking a break from all the animal prints. ;) But wait…


I. WANT. THIS. :cool:

Leopard snap-on case costs around Php800 inclusive of shipping to Manila. What do you think guys? Want to order? ;) Why oh why am I so impulsive. I still have this! And its stuck inside my cabinet for months! :lol:

I was all smiles awhile ago but then something & someone pissed me off. :mad: No need to blog about it! Anyway, lets take away this feeling of depression! I want to end my weekday with some good old vibes. ;)

I got my small duty free (DFS) paper bag this morning. Its my mini loot bag from Rap! :cool: Thanks Rap for meeting my brother and for the free delivery! :lol: I swear, hungryrap is my shopping fairy godfather. He knows fashion. He speaks Prada! Thank you Lord for giving him to me! Hahahaha.


Meet my second Longchamp bag Ocean. Yes, I’m naming the handbag after its color.


Initial choice actually was to get the Ocean color for open tote (USD80) but then DFS only have it in small(USD90). Hmm, I said yes na rin to the small one! ;) Hello?!?! $1USD=Php44 something rate. Why nuts right?!? :roll:

I called up Rustans Makati just now to ask for the price of the bag. And guess what, I got mine for a friendly exchange rate of 4k while the department store’s selling it for almost 6k! :shock: Kaloka. Sorry Lucy (Longchamp sales lady), I was just acting awhile ago. All I really wanted to know was the price and not get a bag… especially from you guys in Rustans.

Yes I’m proud to say that I AM STILL A SMART SHOPPER! :D Hallelujah to our peso-dollar exchange rate! I heard that it may even go up to Php35! Woohoo! What are you waiting for? Shopping na! 

P.S. The bag doesn’t look that ocean blue in person, its more of a dodger blue in color. Weird.

Shoeology

April 22, 2010 Latest Buys, Reviews Comments

Its proven. I’m a lady! Why? ‘Coz I love shoes! :lol: Well I used to love Havaianas (ITS MYOH WEEK ONCE AGAIN!) but now I’m totally over them! :shock: Let me share with you my latest pair:


Yackkk. Feeling chictopia, di bagay sa lookbook! :lol: My college friend Miguel introduced me to her cousins newest business, Shoeology. I’m a size 8! So if any of you gals are a 39/40 [US 8] for Havs, then 8 is the perfect size for you!


You guys know I’m a smart shopper… anything CHEAP and CHIC buy-it-now agad! ;) Kaso lang…


I was expecting this. Yes, I should have worn those mini stockings or whatever for flats. All in all, I’m still happy with my purchase. :) Bili na! Look for Ariane!

Smart Shopper

February 17, 2010 Fashion, Latest Buys Comments

Parents just got back from their short-funny-stranded in the airport trip from Bangkok. ;) Mama bought this Clinique summer something perfume. I’m not a fan so I have no choice but to accept it and use it. :lol: Anyway, instead of working on my business (continue with the construction, training, etc etc etc) I asked Mama if she can bring me to duty free. :) Wanted to be updated with the prices, if its cheaper to buy there or in malls na lang. :roll:

Decided to check out Longchamp since my good friend Pel told me that prices were cheaper compared to rustans. I compared these 2 bags:


Longchamp Le Pliage Small (USD90) vs. Longchamp Le Pliage Open Tote (USD80)

As much as I’d like to pick a bolder color like hot pink and green I still chose black. Why? ‘Coz I can pair it with any color/clothing. Besides, I’m a lover of all things black… it makes you look thinner in pictures. ;) :lol:

Obviously I bought the open tote. Its cheaper (roughly around Php3700 with a conversion rate of PHP1=USD46.35) AND bigger. My semi-huge notebooks can fit in there unlike the small one. :| My only issue with the open tote is that its exposed without the sosyal looking gold zippers. Thieves can easily grab anything from the outside*knocks on wood*. And it looks fake without the zippers ‘no? :roll:

Lol. You guys should check out Metro Market-Market for their own version of Longchamp. :) Oh btw, how much are these bags in rustans? Thanks!
