Hush Puppies' The Body Shoe

When I saw this beautiful pair of sneakers from Hush Puppies in my mailbox, I just had to write about it. It's called The Body Shoe and as the blurb says, it allows for better movement and helps make the feet healthier. I plan to visit a Hush Puppies store in the mall one of these days to check out the shoes in the flesh.


But I'm not buying yet because for sure, it will cost me an arm and a leg. I better save some money first. :)

Hand Crafted Rose Necklace by Lizz B.

I'm a fan of my blogger friend Lizz B.'s fabulous hand crafted necklace creations. I really think she's a natural artist. The first time I set my eyes on the rose necklace she was giving away in her blog, I knew I wanted it. But I could only have it if luck was on my side. Fortunately, it was.Just the other week, I got an email from her informing me I won her giveaway which was done through an electronic raffle. My happiness couldn't be contained at that moment. Three days after, the rose necklace arrived via express delivery. It's true that when you think a lot about something, the tendency is you attract it and the thing gravitates towards you.

The necklace I won has a rose pendant with leaves dangling under it. It's silver-plated chain is made unique by the addition of two pearls on one side, just before the part where the pendant is attached.


My rose necklace speaks of pure love. It's something every girl would wish to have. I dunno but that's how I feel about it. I like how it catches the attention of people especially when I'd pair it with a plain top. It's a fashion statement in itself. I'm so lucky to have won it. Now I'm a proud Lizz B. necklace owner.


My rose necklace is gonna be a classic piece of jewelry a few years from now. What do you think? :)

P150 Vintage Tank Dress from our Neighborhood Ukay-Ukay Shop

A few steps from where I live lies an ukay-ukay shop (thrift store) that sells an assortment of cheap, vintage clothes. I have already bought several items from them before, but this is the first time I’m blogging about my ukay-ukay purchase. It’s a purple vintage tank dress which I got for only P150. Talk about bargain hunting/budget shopping.


What made me decide to buy this dress was the unique design of its lower body. You see, the uneven, short stitches (pleats) make it appear like a wide, balloon skirt. When I tried the dress on, I instantly fell in love with the volume made by those artsy pleats. I imagined myself wearing it in the office topped with a white cardigan to make it a bit formal. Or just as it is when I hit the mall with the boyfriend.

I really like this dress. It’s great I found this in our neighborhood ukay-ukay shop before somebody else gets it. Ukay-ukay shops are love. One man’s trash is indeed another man’s treasure.

Oh and, if ever you get to pass thru Nagtahan area, check this ukay-ukay shop on J.P. Laurel St., just in front of Max’s Restaurant. Their vintage dresses sell for P150 only. Their vintage tops and skirts are cheaper at P100 per piece. They also have vintage shoes and men’s apparel on display.

Fruit Punch Slippers at SM Dept. Store

When we went to SM Megamall last night, we checked out the department store and got three nice-looking pairs of flip flops. The brand was Fruit Punch and true to its name, it had some interesting fruit designs on the soles.


What I liked about it though was the style of the slippers itself that looked as if they were sandals. It had this horizontal strap connecting the two straps of the slippers. I bet they’d look good on jeans and even shorts.


For only P99.75 per pair, I think it’s a wise buy.

My Collezione Fashion: Casual but Patriotic

'Twas my first time to buy clothing from Collezione and I'm glad I did. It's a navy blue shirt dress which is part of Collezione's C2 My Pilipinas Collection designed by well-respected fashion designer Rhett Eala. It's a very straight-forward dress and very nationalistic, if I may add, with an embroidered Philippine map on the exact spot where the heart is. Talk about 'patriotic fashion.'




I got it for P899.75. The shirts sell for P699.75 per piece. I opted to get the shirt dress for a change (most of my friends got the shirt) and the fact that I feel more feminine in a dress.

I have only used my shirt dress once during our visit to St. Claire Monastery in Katipunan, Quezon City last Sunday. It fit my body well and I just loved wearing it knowing I got to promote my country in my own little way.
