OOTN: Animal Print - Take 2

HOW'S MY SATURDAY LIKE?

Hours and hours of gift shopping. VIP room at a posh bar with my girlfriends. [as my dear BFF, Tara, turns 24] Leaving after a few good songs. A pair of new booties. Pure, therapeutic girltalk til 4 in the morning. Some good coffee and a sense of gratitude for having wonderful people in my life.

HOW'S YOURS?

My girls --- Yhel, Libay, Karen, me & Tara @ LAX

OOTD: Red Love

QUICK POST my girls, I barely have minutes to spare nowadays, and I'm missing you! =(

I dropped a few pounds from stress & hardwork I've been through lately, so I guess there's always a positive side to everything.

Red Asymmetric Ruffled Top (bazaar)

Skinny jeans from F & H

Banig Flats from Sewn

Belt from Ruins (BF)

Messy Waves / Failed Curls

I look especially fat & unrealistically short from the camera's angle (from top), I feel like Goliath is looking down on me or something. But as long as my sandals are showing, I'm fine with it. =)

Clueless.

I would have paired a really nice white skirt or some acid washed shorts, but with the errands lined up that day, I needed something more wearable in places like Cartimar --- I swear the top itself gathered enough weird stares. I couldn't care less. ;-)

Love for things Filipino

No matter how much I hate the extreme heat, dirty politics, and getting stuck for four hours of heavy traffic, I still love the Philippines. Thus, I show my support in every way possible. I travel locally, I vote diligently, I pay my taxes, I obey traffic rules and I'm strict on my Go Green advocacy. And yep, I buy PINOY.

That's why I feel elated that young Filipino talents, especially in the beauty and fashion industry, are emerging everywhere. I'd like to think that I'm also a budding Pinay entrepreneur, pulling some strings for my beloved homeland. And so what better (and delightful!) way to show support to my fellow Pinays? SHOP! It's one of the things I'm really good at!

Is this genius or what?

SEWN Sandals with banig

Watch my back.

I visited the Four Seasons Bazaar in Bellevue, Alabang, and I met this very nice lady, Ms. Mariel Veluz, the owner and designer of SEWN SANDALS. I asked her if the sandals were locally made, since I like buying Filipino stuff, and she proudly presented these lovely pairs. Both were made from known local materials, ABACCA and BANIG, and especially designed for the recent Global Pinoy Bazaar, thus, very limited. I can't afford not to have one, or two. =)

Pretty on the rack, prettier when worn.

Excuse me, I'm not blessed with pretty feet.

SEWN has so many pretty and unique designs to choose from, and the prices won't leave you broke. I got both for only Php 1,000. The Sweetie even liked it so much that he asked me to wear the Banig sandals that same day going to the mall. It's comfy, unique, very classy, affordable and 100% Pinoy. I'm truly a convert.

If there were more Pinoy talents like her, then we can save the Philippines, ONE SHOE AT A TIME!
