Blue Green

Photobucket


This will be my last post in three weeks unless another event comes up before I leave Manila. Sorry I look so haggard but its been really hot lately and these pictures were taken after a long busy day. I really wanted to take these pictures outside but unfortunately the rain stopped me from doing so.

What I Wore: Bayo top, Espada skirt, Forever 21 shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo bag.


So here I am channeling the new blogger-favorite nail color: blue green. It's been on every fashion blogger's site, karen-wheredidugetthat.blogspot.com and stylescrapbook.com to name a few. What can I say, it IS a very eye-catching color.

I also bought a couple of bangles this afternoon to complete the look. In fact, I actually bought a few other accessories that my boyfriend told me to stop. I dont know, but sometimes accessories seem so cheap that you wanna buy them all but when their prices all pile up, it actually equates to a big amount of money! But ah, I barely even have accessories so my boyfriend will have to let it pass this time.

Lovely Day

It was our last day in Singapore today where we did our last minute shopping meaning just minutes before our shuttle from the hotel was leaving for the airport. Good thing our hotel was very near to the mall where we had lunch so it was easy for us to just run it.

On me are the boots I got from New Look which are just amazing. They are my new favorite shoes. Couldnt stop wearing them! I had to wear them today since I was afraid my luggage would go overweight --I bought a lot of stuff from our trip not to mention the two pairs of heels that I had already brought along with me.

After shopping at New Look, it had already become my favorite shop and I can definitely put it to the level of Forever21. I was actually really amazed at the pieces because the quality was good and they were all so cheap especially the sale items! There were some dresses and shorts for only SG $20 which means thats around 650 PHP or 13 USD. Also, the shoes were just to DIE for! They had a wide array of shoes from flats, to sandals, to sky high heels, to boots, and to rubbershoes, ALL for such cheap prices ranging from SG $20 to SG $60 (650 PHP to 1,800 PHP MAX / 13 USD to 38 USD MAX). These boots for example, were a pair I got along with these blue pumps. They even had a promo where if you spend SG $100 or more on their store, you get SG $15 from your total bill. Cool huh!

What I Wore: New Look boots, Thrifted blue dress, Mango belt, Mango bag, Forever 21 hat.

Unfortunately, New Look is only available in areas around Europe, in Egypt, Dubai, and Singapore. I was really expecting it to have a branch in the States but surprisingly theres none! Guess I'll just have to ask people to shop for me there! Hee hee.

All in all, my trip to Singapore was great! Really enjoyed hanging out with my bestfriend, touring the city, and shopping till we drop! Would definitely not trade this experience for anything else. I loved it and I sure do hope there will be more to come! xx

Dont Cry, Buy A Bag And Get Over It

What's a vacation without spending on the best things life has to offer a woman? Clothes, bags, shoes... my bestfriend and I just knew that we had to get a taste of this from Singapore and so, we allotted one day just for this favorite hobby of ours: shopping.

What I Wore: Zara dress, Mango shoes, Mango bag.

We visited Ion Orchard which was full of everything you can possibly think of, from top designer brands to the cheapest SG $10 shoes. That mall was practically complete with all the shops you can find around Singapore although I prefer 313 Sommerset more just because of the FOUR levels of Forever 21 and their better stocks of items from New Look. New Look, by the way, is my new favorite store with reasons I will explain in my next post. Also, I changed to slippers after taking these pictures since I can't possibly walk the whole Orchard Road wearing those sky high heels.

Shopping is definitely a must in Singapore. Not as cheap as Hongkong, but if order and variety is what you're looking for, then you can definitely find it here. Also, I think it is more calming to shop in a place like this. The environment is just so peaceful and it isn't as distracting as other places say for example Hong Kong or New York. Not to mention, it is VERY safe such that Steph and I would go home at 11pm every night from shopping.

I never really knew what it meant to shop till you drop until today. I'm usually restless when it comes to shopping but I guess it was the heat and the long strip of Orchard Road that got me. Shopping was great though! Absolutely loved it.

Roaming The City

Today was probably the most hectic day of our entire trip. My Sanuks already actually gave up on me which resulted to my blisters. This pair is around three years old anyway so I think its about time for replacing. I'm thinking TOMS. I've tried a pair before and they were really comfy so I think its not such a bad choice.

On my outfit here I am wearing a hat I got from Forever21 and the same shorts I wore in the previous post except folded. The hat is something that I really intended to buy in Singapore just for this outfit. I just KNEW that there were going to be many hats such as this so I didnt really have to worry about the outfit. Gorgeous though, dont you agree? Gotta love Forever21.

Photobucket
What I Wore: Forever 21 hat, Topshop shirt, Kamiseta DIY shorts, Sanuk shoes, Mango bag.

So here are just some pictures from the city tour and Sentosa's Songs of the Sea. There are more where those pictures came from but I'm afraid these are the only shots I can post here. So much events happened today that I would just flood this blog post with pictures if I posted them all.

Really fun day! The highlight of the night would be watching Songs of the Sea in Sentosa (see last 3 pictures above) which was a lights and sounds show held at the beach. It's a must watch for anyone who decides to visit Singapore :)

Bye Bye Manila

Today we left Manila for Singapore. I dont normally pack like this (one trolley bag). I usually just have a back-pack with me with one pair of jeans, maybe shorts, some shirts, and rubbershoes. But I have a blog now, and I knew I wont be able to do this when I get to New York, so I decided to make the most out of this trip.

What I Wore: Zara shirt, DIY Kamiseta shorts, Ninewest heels, Mango bag.

By the way, my Blackberry service died on me minutes before departing so I wasn't able to go online nor tweet the whole time. Upon arriving we were greeted by the beautiful streets and architectural buildings of Singapore. We arrived just in time for the Night Safari which was at 6:30pm. Afterwards, Steph and I walked around Orchard Road until all the shops closed and it was time to go.

Just a sneak preview of what is to come :)
