On October 15, Debenhams will have an exclusive preview sale open only to loyalty cardholders.  First dibs on great merchandise at up to 50% off!  Sale will be open to the public on October 16. 

So many things happening, so little time!  Now, where do I go first?  Wherever it is, I'm pretty sure everyone will have one heck of a weekend!  See you around!

Outfit of the Week: Boom!

Been a long while since I've posted an outfit post huh?  If you're wondering why I'm wearing such a cold-weather outfit when it's so hot here in Manila, well...  It's because this was taken in Tokyo.  Yup, another travel post!  Just got back from Tokyo last week, and did my best to finish all the Australia posts so that I could finally get on to the Tokyo ones.  Sorry, please bear with me!  

Anyway, on to the outfit!  This is me, standing right outside my hotel, sleepy as heck (hello, 5am flight!) and freezing my buns off!  Tokyo during January, as it appears, is about 2 degrees Celsius.  Brrrrrr!!!  But I'm not one to complain about the cold, since I've had enough of warm weather living in a tropical country like ours.  So freezing weather, bring it on!   

When flying, I make sure to wear something comfortable.  It's amazing because who would've thought that faux leather joggers would be comfortable, right?  But I swear, it is!  They give you movement of PJs, yet it looks a hundred times more chic.  As for the top, have had it for more than a year now, with the Target x 3.1 Phillip Lim collaboration (love, love, love collaborations!).  Had nowhere to wear it until now.  I was only too happy to break it out of the closet.  Can you tell I'm in love with winter?  LOL!  Do look forward to a couple more cold-weather outfit posts!  xoxo

H&M - Now Open in the Philippines!

Hear ye, hear ye!  H&M is now open in the Philippines!  Hooray for them for finally recognizing the Philippine market, and hooray for us since we can finally shop without flying elsewhere!  Thank you, H&M!  

Last October 17, H&M finally opened their doors to the public. I wasn't able to attend the opening due to conflicting schedules (boo!), but I was finally able to step inside just this past weekend!  Here are a couple (ok, a LOT) of photos of what our local H&M looks like.  Scroll on to see :)

So if you still haven't gotten yourself to see the first ever H&M store in our country, then I suggest that you troop over there, pronto!  Prices are reasonable, and stocks are aplenty.  Good for our sartorial future, but bad for our wallets!  LOL.  See you there!

What's Happening This Weekend. Sale news and more!

Ok.  Have to take another short break from my Tokyo posts because of this.  But trust me, it's well worth it.  I'm actually torn... frazzled really.  Because I can't seem to decide which one I'm supposed to go to.  Well, maybe I'll just go to all, since they're all crazily tempting!

 

First up, the Citibank-SSI sale.  If you've been to one of SSI's sales in the past, then you know it's worth it.  Can you imagine Bally, Tod's, Furla and other designer goods for up to 70% off?!

 

Second, Debenhams.  Sort though racks and racks of great merchandise on sale! 

And who could resist Manila Fame?  This bi-annual event is every design and art enthusiast's wet dream.

 

After yearssss of waiting, H&M has finally landed in our shores!  Let's give them a warm Manila welcome, shall we?  Bonus:  First one in line on opening day gets a whopping Php 6000 GC!  Succeeding ones (the next 200) get GCs ranging from Php 200 to Php 5000!   Plus, great discounts on opening day!

 

To coincide with the H&M opening, SM Megamall is having their 3-Day Sale.  If you're planning on going to H&M (and you should!), then this will be hitting two birds in one stone.

So what are you waiting for?  Plan your mode of attack and see you in one (or all) of these events! :)
