Remember the cute sandals that Joie wore on our Ace Hotel Staycation? No? See here.

Anyway, I got inggit on the sandals so I decided to give Payless a visit last Saturday. I was eyeing the same sandals as Joie’s but as usual, no size available for me. :’( #hirapngpandak

And so I just settled on the size 2-3 aisle, also known as the “kiddie section” and found these gorgeous gold flats. The best part is, it’s on SALE! Original price is Php 995.00 but I got mine for a whopping *drum roll please* – Php 298.50!!!

I love sale!! :) I love it so much that I convince my sister to get the exact same pair! I know she’d use and abuse my pair so I made sure she get hers. Hmp! Damot much. :)

So what are you waiting for? Give Payless a visit. For sure, you’d find something for you.

Remember my Quiapo adventure over the weekends?! Here are some of my great finds. I’m telling you, SM Quiapo is the place to be! Fellow Shoppingeras… lezzgow! :)

• cococabana’s Swimwear – Original Price: Php 499.75, Bargain Price: Php 100.00!!! Before my Ilocos trip, I was looking for cut-out swimsuits like this one. I’m chubz chubz but I got curves! So this would be perfect as they would hide my flabs but at the same time show off my curves. I guess the reason why I wasn’t able to get one a couple of months back is because I’m destined to get this one. I love the prints and design. And most of all, I LOVE THE PRICE!

• Crissa’s Ladies Polo – Original Price: Php 749.75, Bargain Price: Php 200.00!!! This is actually G.p’s. She saw this top and spent a good 10 minutes rummaging the rack for the perfect shirt. And she succeeded! Oh the things we’ll do for bargain. Hahahaha

• cococabana’s Harem Beach Pants – Original Price: Php 399.75, Bargain Price: Php 100.00!!! This one is also G.p’s. I don’t like harem pants but I guess wearing them on the beaches of Palawan (we have a planned trip to Puerto Prinsesa this coming October) is her vacay peg. G.p’s fashyown is so not me but well, a great find it is. And I tried it out, it’s so comfy! Me likey. I’ll steal it from her.

• Gibi Shoes’ Heels – Original Price: Php 1699.75, Bargain Price: Php 300.00!!! I tell you. This pair made me soooo happy! I mean, a pair of heels for only 300?? And they are size 4!!! My size. They have heels on MY SIZE!! And they are on sale. I have never ever bought a pair of heels on sale that’s also on my size. I would usually buy size 5s and then make them fit. But this one, is soo perfect. I love love love it.

• Gibi Shoes’ Heels – Original Price: Php 1499.75, Bargain Price: Php 300.00!!! And because it’s on sale, I gotta buy another pair. Harhar.. I was supposed to buy the other one also but G.p told me they don’t look good on me. I was tempted to buy it even if I don’t really like it but then again, I guess that’s not a good idea. So fellow shoppingeras, you have to put this in mind. Make sure you only buy things that you really need/want/looks good on you even if it’s on sale. Coz if not, you’ll be wasting money rather than save.

• Rough Rider Jeans’ Mini Skirt – Original Price: wasn’t able to check but they’re skirts are usually priced at Php 500-800, Bargain Price: Php 100.00!!! I got it on RRJ Robinson’s Ermita branch, not in SM Quiapo but you have to agree with me that its also a great find. I mean, the skirt’s length is perfect. I saw a maong skirt in SM Quiapo for only Php 50.00 but I didn’t buy it because it’s so short. Not a good idea. But this one is perfect. Yey! :) And the print is lovely and the cloth is very comfy.

Tacky title I know! Haha! I can’t think of any. Pardon me for being corny.

So… I went out for a shopping spree with friends/officemates and G.p in Quiapo. (Syempre! Dun kami sa mura.) Followed by a Binondo food trip.

I need to wear something comfy of course. It rained that morning so I decided to ditch my favorite flipflops and wear my good old converse. Who wants putik??!! Who???

And then I remembered this cute maong shorts that I got in 168 Mall in Divisoria for only Php 150!! I didn’t want to wear shorty shorts kasi nga Quiapo yun! Ayoko naman mabastos para lang makaporma di ba?! Adik na yun. So this pair is perfect. I didn’t have to sacrifice fashion because they are just soooo cute. Sayang coz I wasn’t able to show you guys the back part of my shorts. Ang lakas maka-ganda nung very low pockets. I’ll try to take a picture of it next time then I’ll post it PROMISE! And also, don’t you just love the top details? Those double belt holders. Parang late na-realize nung designer na ayaw nya pla ng low waisted na shorts kaya dinugtong na lang ung isa para tumaas ng konti. CUTE!

I pair it up with a white tee for more simple peg and I’m good. Finished everything with my stars and stripes canvass bag to add color. I also went easy on the accessories ‘coz u don’t want your bangles or your rings ruin the clothes in Quiapo. Baka mamaya titingnan ko lang yung damit eh kelangan ko ng bilhin dahil sumabit sa mga borloloy ko! Ayoko naman nun! Baka awayin pa ko nina Ate.

Anyway, I had a great time with my friends. I’ll post my finds soon. Super mura sa SM Quiapo. As in!!! Babalik ako dun. Thank you Len for introducing me to that Shopping Haven!!!! And Jerellt, lika na! Shopping na tayo nina Joie!!

Tee: Artwork | Shorts: 168 Mall in Divisoria (Php 150) | Stars and Stripes Canvass Bag: Thrifted | Sneakers: Converse | Earrings: from Len

Lately some people, or better yet, someONE has been harassing me! Someone from an IP around Caloocan, Quezon City. However, that detail is not accurate since most are already on mobile net or wireless something (no more techie please!) So to you, thank you for making me a rich girl by surfing through my blog posts! And since you sound like someone who doesn’t have class nor breeding, I would like to give you my biggest smile. :-D Mwah! I love you!

Now on to my blog. I decided to show you guys my latest find. It’s a white canvass bag with butterfly details and sequins all over. The handle is made of bamboo which gave that extra ummhhpp!

I so love the bag because it can hold sooo much stuffs and it’s not too bulky. Plus it’s so fashionable and cute. :-) All my friends are going gaga over it.

You’d surely see it on my future blog posts. Been using it for days!!

Here’s a sneak peak of the bag, just the details and all. :-) Don’t you just love the happy vibe of the bag with all the colors and the butterflies??

I’m a gifted thrift shopper! Swear! My friends always get inggit because I always got cute items on such low prices. A friend even suggested I apply as her official shopper. :-) Which I do once in a while. So I decided to blog about my latest finds. And maybe share some shopping tips here and there.

For my first ever #Shopaholic entry, I decided to show you guys a necklace I recently bought in the streets of Pedro Gil, Manila.

I went to a shop in Pedro Gil to buy something when I passed by an accessory stand in the bangketa. Here goes my shopping tip #1: always check bangketa items! I swear! You would never know what you’d find. Anyway, I checked out the items being sold by Manong which turned out to be native accessories of all shapes and sizes. According to him, all of them are from Cebu and he told me that they never sell 2 items of the same design. Whoah! All of them are so gorgeous I swear! Anyway, I was about to buy a long beaded necklace when I saw this baby. I have been looking for a cute bib necklace for centuries! Alright not that long ago but whatever. I wanted to have one for ages. And the moment I saw this, I know I gotta have them. It’s just perfect. It’s simple and not too chunky. I was actually a bit afraid of buying bib necklace because they give that uberly chunky look. But this one shouts sophistication to the fullest!

I remember seeing similar one in the mall but is uberly pricey. Usually necklace of this quality cost 300-1000 depending on where you buy them. But guess how much mine is? It’s only Php100!!!! How can I not buy them huh. It initially costs 150 but I make tawad of course!

There you go! Gorgeous Blue Native Bib Necklace for Php100.
