slave to foreign brands

I'm upset realising how much of a slave I am to international brands when it comes to clothing.

I've pretty much succumbed to the superficial comfort that retail therapy brings. It feels so wrong for me to say this but what the heck... it's a real emotion that bothers me.

All the stress I feel from the sources of stress in my life feels like I have a justified reason to find solace for a few minutes in the embrace of beautiful superficial things.

It's wrong. Must substitute it with something more meaningful and has better value.

Yesterday, I was my parents' driver so I drove them to Rockwell because my dad had a meeting at Bel-Air.  

I was with my mom and Celine while my dad was having a meeting... I realized how much I don't really like shopping at Rockwell coz everything is just on the high-end side. 

Thankfully, I got something on a bargain which is a Tokidoki shirt at Anthem that I can wear for my dressed down days or for going to production.

Here they are! I'm wearing them with my super used pants and just flip flops today.  So cute right? The fabric is thin so it's just perfect for the Philippine climate. Original price was 3,500 and I got it for 925. 

I got a Harajuku Lovers tote bag as well.. It's pretty huge.

I like how I can put like tons of stuff inside... and I got it at 1400+ but the original price was 4000. I sort of couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the reductions on the stuff I got.  Got both from Anthem.. 

Seems like I'll be using them for a long time.  So yeah, I don't hate Rockwell as much as before. He was kind to me yesterday. haha

waiting is key

Yesterday I went to Rustans with my mom coz she needed to do some errands about a gift registry... I was wandering around Zara and found the shoes I've been dreaming about for over a month!

So yes... It took me about 5 Zara visits just salivating over these shoes.... and I found them on sale.

I love it.

I guess it pays to not be impulsive. It will just come...

random shopping

I've always thought I'm a not so good accessorizer.. so I got these cute feminine stuff from forever21...

And so.. i've been mint and tiffany blue obsessed lately... I love how shops are focusing on pastel hues nowadays... they're so feminine and lovely..

So i tried these trousers from forever21 but they didn't have a great fit...

but i tried these ones from zara and they're pretty good.

what was more amazing is that i've shrunk 2 pant sizes.

isn't that amazing!?

So even if these trousers were expensive.. i still got it to celebrate such a cool feat in my weight loss

new!

New camera after 4 years... I love how easy it is to take photos with this one :) Aside from that... It's PINK!
