wouldn't be caught dead in M&S
went to the Gs this evening with evs before coming to work. had dinner there and then went around to look at the spring clearance sale items almost all the shops had. my main target was to find a pair of black and white tweed ballet flats that i saw in freeway bats but could not buy coz they didn't have it in my size. alas! freeway in glorietta did not have that style anymore.
i, of course would not give up, i dragged evs into all the shoe stores but i could not find one that i really loved. although a houndstooth kitten heel pumps at soFAb did catch my eye. i might buy that one if its still there when we drop by this week.
it was frustrating not to be able to find a shoe whose image was seared through my mind's eye. i'm that way with things and perhaps even with people that i like but dont get to have at the time i first find them. i just obsess about it all day long...

to take my mind off the elusive tweed ballet shoes, i purchased a plum colored sleeveless blouse w a fake necktie detail at oxygen. it's such a darling thing! i've been deviating from buying my usual baby tees and jeans get-up. i'm trying to update my wardrobe and found i already have a lot of really cute and unique stuff fr UCB, so the idea is to just mix and match and work w those great pieces.
it's so sad how i don't have access to UCB now, they have their store in mega (not sure if the one in southmall is still open) and it's just too difficult for me to go there.
UCB is not so popular here in the phils, everybody is sooooo into mango, topshop and marks and spencer. my officemates could not believe it when i told them that i didn't think M&S deserved its place at G4 because its just basically a big store in the UK. its equivalent here is ShoeMart and in the same way that Pinoys would not be caught dead w a t-shirt that says SM down its front, Brits would not be caught dead w a pullover that has Marks and Spencer emblazoned across it. i'm not saying M&S is crap, we use to go there for food (i specially loved the mince pies during Xmas) it's just irritating how pinoys think that it's so thothyal.
last week i went and looked at the sale at terranova, some of the items they were selling for 3thou in december is now at P500-P800. The clothes look really great and colorful, but when i touched the fabric....OOOOUUUCHHH!!! Most of the clothes were knitted or in wool from the winter collection but it definitely lacked the softness and quality of UCB.
