Tribute shoes

In the middle of my busy week last week, I got a happy break because I finally ordered my shoes from Tribute!

FOR SALE! Tory Burch Reva Flats

SOLD :)

Hello everybody! After a few months of thinking about it, I've finally decided to sell my Tory Burch Reva Flats.

These are super super like new and come with the box. I can give them for 8,000 Php, since they're an old style and in Rustan's they sell for 10,800 Php. They're a US women's size 10 but run a little small, about 9-9.5 I would say.

They're gold hardware with leather trim, and rubber soles. Really gorgeous, but too bad they don't fit well on me :(

See, super almost new! They can be considered as brand new. Look at their undersides! :)

For more details, please text ------- :) Please, these are authentic. You don't even have to ask. Haha

Heaven in Bon Chon (among other things)

Because I got so disappointed with my expectations from Manang's Fried Chicken at the Marcato Market, I arranged for dinner with a friend in Bon Chon, Greenbelt 1. I missed Bon Chon so much!

Mmmm my meal. 6 pieces of chicken wings in Soy Garlic, a cup of rice and Kimchi Coleslaw. Yum!

The Kimchi Coleslaw wasn't anything great, though. just ordinary coleslaw with some spice in it. It was good for me because it wasn't spicy at all. Just the right level :) Tolerable but still there.

I also had a bottle of Mogu-Mogu for my drink. For those who don't know what this is, it's a Thai drink that means "chew-chew." It's a fruit juice with lots of bits of nata de coco floating around in every sip. It's really yummy and makes a great dessert, too. I had it mostly after my meal, rather than with my meal.

Our dinner was interrupted though, because MY MOM ORDERED 48 PIECES OF CHICKEN WINGS and had me send it home! Haha and sure enough, when I got back, my family of 5 had polished off two of the four boxes of wings already! The rest will be kept in the freezer to have over the weekend. I highly doubt they'll keep past Sunday. Haha! We love our Bon Chon!

And while walking around, I fell in love :( Aren't these the cutest shoes ever?! They're Marc by Marc Jacobs! They were on sale from 16, 000 Php down to 12, 000 Php. I didn't think they were worth it, but I asked for my size anyway, and they didn't have it :'( They only had one pair of 38s left. Mouse flats, may you go to a happy home. :( I'll try looking for them in the States though and will think again about them. They say that if you can't sleep because you're thinking about it all the time, then it's meant for you! So I'll really think about it.

And while we're on the topic of cute things, look at what I found sometime last week! A super cute ceramic bracelet from Rustan's. I'd been looking at it for a while now, maybe for two months already. When my mom, sister and I were shopping together, I finally got to ask for it :D Yaaaay. It feels good to get something you've been wanting for so long :)

'Til my next find!

Birthday list!

After nearly a month of not posting, I'm finally back. so much thinking of what to post about has led to procrastination, and I never ended up posting :( Until now!

I'm about to leave for a retreat with my school in a few hours, and I shall leave these material things behind me (for two days.) Haha!

So my birthday's coming up in less than two months and boy am I having trouble finalizing my birthday wish list! At least now my "maybe"s have become "maybe-maybe"s haha! Whatever I pick out right now, I have 7+ weeks to think about. Let's start with my most sure wants, going down to the most abstract. Haha

So of course the latest Apple product with the most buzz going around it is the iPhone 4, and I've finally mustered up the courage to ask my grandparents for one, and guess what! It's a yes! :D I can't wait until I get to Hong Kong to lay my hands on this baby. I'm so excited, I've been shopping for apps and looking for cases already HAHA. Starting with Gelaskins!

This was the featured design on the header of the iPhone 4 Gelaskin site. One quick glance and I knew I had to have it! It was the first one that I saw and the only one that screamed out to me. I really love reading and I'm so excited to put this on my future baby! Haha :)

I'm a big fan of Tory Burch and I think I'm ready for my second pair! The moment I tried these on my feet a month ago, I knew I had to have them too. Haha I'm such a material girl :( They'll match so well with my newest Vuitton!

Of course I've been looking at jewelry, and I finally found something that I want. I'd been mesmerized by Janina Dizon Hoschka's Stingray cuffs for a while now, but now I finally found the perfect slider! The lotus :D I think I like them better without the mother of pearl detail, as shown below. Again, my birthday isn't 'til late November so I have a loooot of time to decide :)

And from those who love to play, I'd really love a Disney Couture tote or wallet by Loop. I've always been in love by this brand, even when I was in high school and I have a few things by them. Too bad I lost my high school wallet somewhere here in the house :( Which hasn't turned up in years.

Aren't they too cute?! I really want one of the long wallets! Perfect for school. I'm beginning to get bored with my Kate Spade pencilcase already. Hehe. :)

So there, just to keep track of everything that I want! Hopefully I'll be able to finalize this soon. OR I hope I get everythiiiing! Hahaha, dreaming is always free of charge :P

Travel Ready! :)

I'm leaving for Singapore tomorrow, and I'm soooo excited! :) Even though it's just for 5 days, but only 4 if you think about it because I get there at 10pm of the first day, I'm super prepared! I'm bringing along my Canon 550d which I just got two months ago to take all of my photos. :D

I would post my actual camera but I can't find my point-and-shoot. Oops! Anyway, I'm super excited to use my new Longchamp Le Pliage that I bought in a stopover at the Korean airport on my way home last summer. :)

This is an old style from 2009 that I saw even when I was in Paris, but they didn't have this style with the zipper across and handles that go over the shoulder. I really like shoulder bags because they allow me to walk around with both of my hands free. And aside from that, Longchamp is really known for lasting long and being able to carry a lot of things, which it really does! Plus it's a nice color that won't look bad if it gets dirty. :) So really, it's the perfect bag for travelling! :) I was lucky enough to have found this even though it was out of season already. As my mother always says, if you can't sleep because you really want something, then you should really get it! :)

Of course when in a foreign area with no personal car to drive around, one will have to do a lot of walking. So I'm happy that I've broken into my Torys, they're the comfiest shoes ever.

Very recently I retired my favorite pair of bronze flats that I got in a Payless outlet about 6 years ago, and I was set on getting a pair of Torys to replace them. I'd been looking for a pair of Torys since last year but none of them caught my eye until I stumbled upon these! They're a wonderful color: under daylight they look like a bronze, but in photos they look pewter. The color stated in the stock name is Anthracite, which means a hard coal that burns easily. It's a pretty color really, and they have matching studded hardware logos that are equally as sparkly. I've always been a fan of sparkly things, but now that I'm older I've decided to tone down and wear them as accents instead of big statement pieces. :) These shoes were made for me!

So there, I'm ready for my 5-day vacation! I almost literally broke my back to go on this trip so I better have fun! Of course, just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, "fun" is up to whoever is experiencing it. So I will definitely have fun, I'll make sure of it :D

Will post photos of my travels soon, stay tuned!
