Accessories, accessories, accessories! ♥

I saw this cocktail ring at one of the boutiques in Northeast Square the other week. I was debating whether I should purchase it. I loved the turquoise and the detail of the ring, it just caught my eye. But, the rings were from PhP350-PhP400 and I had my heart set on a bright yellow rose ring, and I just adored it and bought that instead. 

I consider it a stroke of luck that I didn't buy this ring in that botique because I encountered it again in another shop called Girl Shoppe. And you'd never guess how much this is - it's PhP 50! Could you believe that?! It also comes in other colors like red, yellow and purple. There's also an interesting connector ring with the words LOVE all over it - sadly it doesn't fit my plus sized fingers. 

I found the perfect pair of white shorts! ♥

The search is over! I found the perfect pair of white shorts! ♥ It isn't exactly white - its is a lot closer to a light khaki with a hint of grey color. But I adore it none the less.

This is my first ever pair of high waisted shorts (yes, I just climbed out of a rock) and I got it at Una Rosa. Surprisingly, they have it in my size! (I'm usually a US11, or UK14 - give or take a few numbers). It sits comfortably at my waist - making it appear smaller than it actually is. It stops at the right height - yay for the illusion of long legs minus the skimpy short shorts and flares ever so slightly from the hips. I love this bit - it makes my thighs look smaller compared to the usual shorts.

The sales lady found this pair of shorts for me and so many other stuff I wouldn't try on my own. They are really into getting the customer to try out the items on the shelves because they are incredibly persuasive.
I was surprised that they carry clothes in my size, I usually don't find local brands with clothes that fit my body type. I'm psyched about this. Their jeans fit my legs and make them look nice, they have dresses and tops that fit my bust area, shorts that fit  my waist. Best of all - their price range affordable and much lower than the foreign clothing brands.

They found so many stuff for me to try on I spent 1hr and 30mins in the dressing room. Their spring collection is adorable! A lot of florals, prints and pastel colors - sadly I can't take all of them home. I didn't mind it because I believe that trying on clothes is for free - so I want to try everything just to make sure I get the piece that suits me perfectly. Plus the next time I find myself shopping in a hurry, I'll know which type of clothes look good on me.

Before I left the store, the cashier told me to check out their facebook page. They have a mother's day promo where you can get a 10% discount from today until mother's day (May 8, 2011). Just get the promo code (which is Unarosa Moms) at their facebook and mention it at the cashier before you check out the items. 

Sorry no OOTD here - just a clothing item of the day.

This is the back part

Pocket detail. I love how refined the stitching is. 

Hidden zipper - you might want to check if it works well - sometimes this type of zipper gets stuck.

And that's it! Thanks for reading about my shopping adventure!

Shopping at Suesh

Makeup brushes make the lives of makeup-junkies much easier. If used correctly, they provide precise application, flawless blending and sanitation. Unfortunately, these brushes can either be too pricey or out of reach. But I've head about an affordable brush brand called Suesh and since their shop is near my place, I decided to test my driving skills, challenge my parking capabilities, and pay a visit in their quiet little shop at 34 Wilson St.

At first you wouldn't notice their shop, it's located in the far end, of right side of the establishment. Their floor space isn't that big either. But, I have to say, it's not the same for the products that they carry. Appart from their brushes they also carry various products like OCC, Grafthofabian, Cosiline Eyeshadows, NYX, disposable cosmetic accessories, carrying cases; just to name a few.

Their brushes range from PhP 200 to PhP 900 (about USD 4.50 to USD 22), depending on their size and the type of hair used. They can also be bought in sets which I think is a lot cheaper than buying them individually.

For my first purchase, I opted to go for the small ticket items just to test them out and see if I like them. These were the mini fan brush, eyedefiner and the smudge brush. They all have wooden handles that are painted matte black and their ferule is made of metal that has a semi-glossy black coat.
