POSH feet

one thing i wished i were also is that i'm also a shoe-a-holic. i never tried experimenting on shoes -- styles, colors -- i'm done with the basics and since i'm a commuter, i invest more on flipflops. i don't want my legs to suffer due to my pauper lifestyle. hehehe thus, a pair of slippers is a must-have in my bag. but i must admit, elegance and poised are both suffering from this convenience theory. so i decided to invest on flats before i invest again on a good bag.

i'm eyeing on pocket shoes for sometime now since i badly need it after appearances. i will change in a cab before going to court and will change back in the washroom after the hearing. good thing that POSH pocketshoes announced that they are having a sale and sale seasons to me are love at first sight. i bought a pliage in red for only Php549 plus shipping and have it delivered in my footstep.

but first what is POSH? it's a pocket shoe meaning shoes that can fit it your pocket -- literally. but unlike some other shoes that can fit in your pocket, POSH can be used not merely as an immediate substitute from your stilettos but it can be worn even the whole day. 

as a substitute, the pouch can transform into a bag to place your stilettos and while on a break, the shoes can be folded and placed in the same pouch. cool right?

before, i bought me and my friends some "pocket shoes" for Php250. unlike POSH that can be folded, the pocket shoes that i bought are rolled. and the sole of POSH can enable you to walk almost everywhere comfortably like any other shoe (unlike others where you can feel the pebbles you're stepping on!). my only problem though is that after using it, i had to clean the sole first before i put it back in the pouch. well, that's me.

performance wise, i got a blister when i first used it. well, it's my feet to blame who are used to flipflops that  friction from any kind of footwear will leave it reddish. (i even got blisters in TOMS and Crocs, FYI) but after the first trek, it's a comfortable walking experience.

i recommend poshies to every one who dares to be in style everytime and have a comfortable walking experience without suffering style, elegance and budget.our feet deserve to be POSH too.O=)

Bag "the" Bag at Benetton

i'm a certified bagaholic and not a brand hag at that.i can settle for a bag from Egg if i liked the bag and splurge for a LE longchamp if i really want to. and in both instances, i want my bags to always look new and clean and will buy a dust bag if necessary. but i'll be at my happiest if i found a good bag with a good brand with a very good price.

as i've said in my previous post, today is my favorite season. and since my friend G has been checking the racks for longsleeves, we went inside United Colors of Benetton upon seeing the SALE sign. while G's busy in the fitting room, i'm checking the bags. the good lady approached me and told me that the bag's are currently 50% off. i wanted to buy the shoulder bag in blue but since i'm almost always at a hearing, i need a bigger bag to fill my in my folder, slippers, my planner and my what's-in-my-bag stuff.

it took a while to choose what color to buy: the lilac or the hot pink one. the hot pink is screaming Legally Blonde that i was so tempted to buy it. but i realized thereafter that my bags are mostly in the pink shade so i chose the lilac one.

it's made from faux leather and not really prone to dirt despite the color. and when it gets dirty i can just use a damp cloth to clean it instead of a wipeout. lol

the chain links as handle give the oomph to the bag, however, i find it difficult to put it on my shoulder since they are li'l heavy.

the bag is roomy which can store my book, my kikay kit, my humongous wallet, my iTouch, my phone and etcetera.

i love the fact that it has a dust bag but since this is the kind of leather which cracks after some time, it's better that you let it out and use it sometime and not just keep it in storage. i had to learn this the hard way in the MNG bag my boyfriend gave me as a monthsary present. 

it's originally pegged at Php3,500.00 and now that it's 50% off, i got it only for Php 1,750.00. so for me it's a good deal but not yet SOS-worthy.

while G went home with a top he bought on sale in a plastic that's screaming SALE, i went home with this bag in a nice paper bag. another night in paradise.

United Colors of Benetton is located at 2nd level, Bldg B, SM Megamall

Lovin' the Bodyshop

to start my blog from my long hiatus, i'll start my blog with my best SOS (shopped.on.sale.) so far. since my way home entails passing in SM Megamall, i got to see that what's hot and the what's not during my favorite -- sale season. and indeed, the best time to buy stuff is after christmas since everything is on sale. 

though i always get to see the Sale sign in The Body Shop lately, i never tried to check it since i bought my MAC studio fix last month and i have enough palettes to fill my make-up stash. but seeing the 70% off sign was simply irresistible.

and this is what i found in the 70% box -- a make-up brush set! this was released last december 2010 for the holiday season but it costs Php2,498.00. 

and with the 70% off tag, it now costs only Php748.50!

 when i bought my last make-up brushes from the Bodyshop (which is just 1/3 of the size of these brushes) it cost me Php1,200.00.  so how can i not buy this one? and according to my make-up guru/roomie unapologeticmakeupjunkie the brushes are good so it's definitely a steal.

the set includes a blusher, brow & lash comb, smudger, eyeshadow and lip/concealer in a sleek black pouch with flaps for protection.

i renewed my LYB card as well for Php100 and i'm surprised that they still put a stamp on my voucher even if my last purchase was like a couple of years ago! and as a renewal gift, they gave me the LYB Beauty Book for Free!

 it's actually a discount book with some reviews of their bestsellers. i'm eyeing on the seaweed clarifying toner which my cousin told me for her is the best line in the Bodyshop.

i'm just happy that i have a beauty to boast about -- NARS bridal palette, MAC studio Fix and these make up brushes! just a good mascara and my set is complete and i'm all set to walk down the ...O=)

The Bodyshop is located at UGF, Megamall

i. am. m.i.a.

where have i been these past four (4) months? i've been MIA since once upon a time and just decided to leave a note here to tell you that I AM back. i was busy with work that i can only post micro-blog to tell the whole world wide web of my latest Best-Buys and S.O.S. aside from twitter, i used my tumblr account to post photos of my good finds not merely to boast my otherwise good photography skills using my point-and-shoot camera, but also as a reminder of the pending posts/reviews/blogs for this site. and while i'm on my way home, the Notes in my iPod Touch is my newest blogger.

work kept me busy most of the times and dinner/lunch & food trips with my officemates filled most of my precious times. and if i posted all my reviews of the food trips we've had, my shopping blog would turn to be a foodie blog already! i'm very lucky to have officemates/friends who have the same trippings as i do.

but i shopped as well. but most of the things i shopped for are my outfits for my office that i'm yet to blog about since i may have fellow shopaholics who will know about my secret supplier. i guess i'm invoking my right to privacy in correspondence in this matter. but to jumpstart the year (at least the chinese calendar that is) i have the following to blog about:

1. My 3 planners plus 1 Pink plotter
2. my canvas espadrilles which comes with a review of the store where i bought it
3. my bags which i really love
4. cutesy pocket shoes-ies
5. ton of books! (which i'm currently addicted to)
6. a new discount card
7. a "green" pencil
8. a revert back to my old favorite cosmetic brand
9.make-up brushes
10.  and some food blogs, hehehe

i'll try to make them over the weekend but you can take a sneak peak in my tumblr account.
until then, i have to scout the shops this SALE season.
