Souk Embroidered Kaftan

I’m flying off to Palawan next week for a shoot, and I am panicking! Not only do I have to choose the clothes for the models, but I also need to do some serious summer shopping for myself! I mean, I want to look as fabulous as the models I’ll be dressing, right? So I hit the mall and went straight to one of my favorite shopping haunts: The Ramp. This department store carries one of the best selections when it comes to affordable fashion. I love that the majority of their brands are all home grown– more power to Pinoy fashion!

GFI: Accessorize Coral Neclace

I mentioned in my first post that I follow certain “rules” and “philosophies” when I shop. These all came about during my many, many, many, many shopping trips over the years. I would like to share these little tips with you so that you can make the most out of your hard-earned cash.

I’ve gone through all the possible emotions that come with making a purchase–excitement, joy, heartbreak, and buyer’s remorse. In today’s post, I would like to tackle heartbreak and how to avoid it. I’m sure you all know the feeling, going back and forth inside a store, saying hello to “your” purse/shoes/accessories, and then leaving the shop empty-handed with a longing feeling at the pit of your stomach. You say to yourself “I don’t really need it, I’ll just save my money.” Then one day you finally decide to go back to the store, money in hand and ready to buy your most coveted item–only to find out that it’s already been sold. A sad sad day indeed. The saddest part about it is that such heartache could have been avoided.

So Fab Navy Blue Garter Wedges - P899

I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of navy-colored heels since last year. I always thought they would make a fresh alternative to basic black and gray.  Navy looks amazing against white, and it just pops when paired with a khaki ensemble. Although a lot of shoe brands came up with their own versions of this versatile  color, I couldn’t quite bring myself to cough up around P3,000 for a pair. So I waited . . . and waited . . . and waited–until I came across this adorable pair from So Fab! Not only are the crisscross garter straps nice to look at, but they make the shoes ultra-comfortable too! The straps adjust to the natural shape of your feet so there’s no pinching whatsoever. It comes in a wedge heel, which gives you a lot of support and allows you to stand in them the whole day.
