My P99 Sling Bag

I'm always amazed by what just a hundred bucks can get me. It's even less this time at P99. It's a tiny, green sling bag from Parisian by SM. I bought this impulsively (again) but I didn't regret it. I can see myself using this when I go to the mall or when running some errands outside.


This bag is made of faux leather. I like the color, first and foremost. I also like how it looks sturdy and girly at the same time.

It's lovely, isn't it?

Sturdy and Stylish Belts from Saizen!

They say Japan-made products are cool and durable. I think there's some truth to that. Back when I was a kid, we had a Sony TV that lasted for more than a decade. It would have lasted longer had it not been stolen. Haha. See my point? Japan-made stuff have this reputation that I can't help patronizing them. Like the ones sold at Saizen, for instance.

I was at Saizen-The District, Imus last Sunday afternoon and hoarded their belts, among other things. Well, not exactly. I actually just bought four pieces.

Prior to this, I already bought two belts from Saizen. They are just basic belts, one in black and the other in brown. They are fantastic! I wear them with my pants to work on an almost daily basis and they still look brand-new. No peeling of the skin/material of the belt nor the thread, no nothing. They're made of faux leather but quality-wise, they look top class. A few weeks ago, the black got misplaced (or might have been stolen again!) and so I thought of replacing it when the opportunity presented itself (which was that Sunday afternoon).

So, back to the four new belts. These are the first two:



The black one is the replacement for the one I've recently lost while the metallic gold one is for pairing with my shorts. Aren't they lovely? For just P88 a piece, I think they're a steal!



These are the other two belts:



Aren't the ribbon details so cute? Very classy and feminine, indeed. These two are for pairing with dresses and I can't wait to wear them!



I won't mind using cheap stuff so long as they are stylish and sturdy, like these gorgeous belts I got from Saizen. Try checking out the cheap belts at Saizen, ladies, and lemme know how it goes for you! :)

Houndstooth Flats from Solemate

When I saw this pair of flat shoes from Solemate at the department store of SM Bacoor, I knew I had to have it. I’ve always wanted to have a houndstooth in my closet. I’ve yet to acquire my dream houndstooth blazer, so this will do for now. Haha.



For P299.75, it’s pretty cheap. Solemate shoes are really priced like that. They even have buy one, take one shoes at just P499.75. Their shoes are known to have soft soles. They are very comfortable and are made for walking. I just don’t like how thin the soles feel. It’s like my feet can get wet in an instant should I walk in a damp road. But it’s okay, I should just take note of the road I’m walking in wearing these shoes. I have to make sure it’s dry and all.

Anyway, I’ve already worn this pair at work. I paired it with an all-black outfit and it gave the contrast I was aiming for. My bad, I should’ve taken a picture and uploaded it here. Maybe next time.

P100 Casual Tops and Skirts from John Brian Boutique

I got some spare money two weeks ago and decided to spend it on shopping. They say a girl can’t have too many shoes but this time, I went for clothes. Casual clothes, to be exact. I’m happy to report that I got some fab finds from this relatively unknown boutique called John Brian. The shop can be found at the ground floor of Robinsons Place Manila, just a few meters away from Wendy’s.

It was my first time to shop at John Brian Boutique. Basically, it sells cheap but trendy casual clothes. They have racks and racks of them, from tops and skirts to jackets and pants. There’s something for everyone here. If you’re on a tight budget like me, I suggest getting from their P99.95 racks. I was lucky to score three tops and two skirts from them (all very fashionable) which I can’t wait to wear!








For P500 for all five, I think it’s so sulit. The quality of the clothes I bought is quite good but not superior. For casual clothes, I think this is okay. :)

Fashionable Big Clutches Under P500!

I have shopped for a few stuff this week. As always, I was on a budget so I really made sure to find cheap items that would satisfy me and wouldn't compromise my comfort, fashion and style standards. Allow me to share with you the two cheap yet trendy big clutches I got. One was from Something Borrowed (via Zalora, a local online shopping site) and the other one was from Liberte (via Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Place Manila).



The studded, black big clutch is fun and fierce at the same time. I got it for P499. It was on sale at 50% off, the original price being P998. Zalora is a great shopping site, they always have a variety of items on sale. You'll also love their fast, seamless service. It's my second time to shop from the site and I'm quite satisfied with how they handle things there.





The red brown/beige combo, on the other hand, speaks elegance and style. I bought it for just P330. Liberte is known for its cheap yet stylish pieces, just check out their collection at all Robinsons Department Store and see for yourself.



I can imagine myself pairing the two big clutches with dresses (when I'm off to some casual event) and trousers/shorts (when I'm going to a meeting, hanging out with friends or just hitting the mall). Actually, I think I can use them in virtually all occasions. Yes, we're talking about versatility here. When buying an accessory like clutches/clutch bags, one should look for affordability, versatility, style and overall look.

'Till my next budget shopping trip, ladies!:)
