Accessory Review: Accessorize London

Accessorize London is the latest accessory shop I'm frequenting these days. Why not if it has lots of fancy accessories that are sure to brighten every girl's outfit? I swear this is one shop where you can get nicely-made beaded, gold and silver-plated jewelry, bags in printed and floral patterns, leather belts, fashionable head pieces and a lot more.

So far, I've gotten only a handful of items from this shop and it seems I'd go back again for more. I like that the shop always has a sale (up to 70% off on most occasions), but it isn't store-wide. This means the customers have the freedom to choose between the sale and the regular-priced items, depending on what kind of accessory we're looking for.

As for me, I can only afford to buy from the sale items. Well, except for my first purchase which included a charmed necklace and this ring which I got at its regular price of P450:



Normally, I always end up getting gorgeous items from Accessorize London at rock-bottom prices. Like this "leafy" bracelet which I only got for P114:



And these two necklaces which I got for P180 each:


don't you just love this necklace's bird pendant?


this necklace looks very Christmas-y, eh?

So far, there are only two Accessorize shops that I know of: the one in Mall of Asia (MOA) and the one at Robinson Place Ermita. I prefer the latter because it has bigger space and more updated items than the former. But still, you have to check out the stores yourself to better understand what I mean.


this shop always give up to 70% discounts!

There's one thing I could guarantee you, though. The staff of Accessorize London are friendly but never pushy and utterly distracting. They'd just let you choose, pick and try on their products to your heart's desire. Personally, that's the kind of service I want. I think SM sales clerks could learn a thing or two from them. :)

Shopping for Hospital Scrubs

These days, the color of hospital uniforms is not just confined to the plain and boring white. As fashion evolves, so is the color of uniforms of our health workers. Here in Manila, it is common to see medical professionals like nurses, midwives and medical technologists wearing scrub uniforms or scrub suits. They come in a variety of colors, prints and styles that suit their personality or better yet, tells something about the hospital or health organization they work for.

Shopping for scrubs is quite easy. You just have to know how much you are willing to spend for them. Online stores such as http://www.blueskyscrubs.com has a wide variety of custom-made and ready-to-wear scrubs. They even offer wholesale hospital scrubs if your buying in bulk. Just choose the color, print and style of the scrub and negotiate on the price and you're good to go.

Online shopping stores not only make it easy for us to shop for clothing, but also gives us the luxury of time to choose and decide on what we really want without the irritating stares and unsolicited remarks of sales clerks and the long queue at the payment counter. Here, you just have to shop and pay and do everything in one go with just a few mouse clicks.

Promote and Sell with Brochures

Do you easily get interested in something just by reading about it? May it be the latest gadget, a pair of pants, a dress or a new bag, doesn’t it catch your attention when you see them in print, with all those descriptions and images that give you a clear idea of what they really are?

When it comes to shopping or budget shopping as what this blog tries to promote, brochures or leaflets are a great way to have a product seen and sold. Normally found given away to people in crowded, public places, brochures disseminate information as fast as any other modes of communication.


brochure sample

While anyone can create his own brochures for a particular purpose, a professional-looking brochure is still a must especially if your goal is to promote and sell a product or a service. The internet is a good resource when looking for a company that does brochure printing. I, for instance, have seen quite a few printing companies that have a strong presence online.

If you’re in need of quality brochures, make sure to know the printing company first. To save on costs and to give your brochures a personal touch, you may want to do your own layout and design. If you have the funds, though, it would be better to communicate your layout and design ideas directly to the printing company.

The Fight Against Breast Cancer Continues

October is considered to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But everyday, the fight against breast cancer has to be strengthened. It has to carry on to help millions of women suffering from it. We don't have history of breast cancer int he family but that isn't a guarantee that we're 100% safe from it. After all, there are several factors that lead to breast cancer such as stress, toxins in our food, exposure to environmental estrogens and a person's poor health and lifestyle practices. Here in Manila, the I Can Serve Foundation is the premier breast cancer support network that helps breast cancer patients in their daily ordeals and undertakes projects aimed at strengthening the fight against breast cancer.

The fight against breast cancer can be shown in different ways. But I guess the first step to start the battle against this dreaded disease is to be aware. And what better way to be aware than to wear your advocacy through breast cancer t shirts. The more people can see, the more people can be aware. The more people aware of it, the greater efforts can be done to stop the spread of breast cancer and show support to those who are already suffering from it.

How to Do Budget Shopping Online

This author, through this blog, has long been a proponent of budget shopping. I have always believed that looking good doesn’t equate to paying more. Whenever I shop, I always have this reminder in my head that I should only buy items that are not only of high quality, but also capable of giving the best value for my money.

The internet, with all its wide scope and strong influence, has revolutionized the way people shop and spend their money. Nowadays, with just a few clicks of the mouse, you can have products delivered right smack to your doorstep at any given time.

I have to admit I’m one of those who have found enjoyment and satisfaction in online shopping. The idea of something from a different place (may it be local or international) arriving in your house is just amazing. But still, I have to practice caution and frugality. I make sure to canvass from different shopping sites first before buying a product. I also look for discount coupons online to save money. I remember when I got some new shirts the other week from a nice shopping site, I used a Gap coupon to get discounts.

Reliable coupons that offer great discounts (with no strings attached) abound online. You just have to know where to find them. Start by checking out DealTaker.com, for instance. Or better yet, sign up with the leading shopping sites today and before you know it, your inbox is flooded with discount coupons waiting to be grabbed.

Online shopping is fun and definitely gives you more and better options than traditional shopping, just make it a point not to overspend and always, as in with a capital A, try to get the best value for your money.
