Cohesive Randoms

I have not yet started with my "shoe cabinet" project. This is the closest I ever got--buying new shoeboxes for my homeless shoes.

These are the shoes inside my room. I still have more stacked outside in individual transparent shoe boxes (which I bought from Ebay last year). Gawd, I really need a new shoe cabinet. I just want them all in one place. I tend to neglect the others that are away from the majority. 

The shoeboxes with pink and beige lids I got from SM. Surprising! I didn't even know they're selling shoeboxes until a friend told me. And they're pretty cheap too. Got 'em for only P59/pc. They also have holes on each side so your little babies could breathe. And that's huge savings for me since the transparent ones I bought before are P80/pc. So in my excitement I bought 20. I should have bought more.

In other news...

I really want these clothes from my favorite ebay store American Archive. 

 Love this grungy pansuit!

Why can't I find anything like this in thrift shops. Argh.

Love the upper part of this dress. And the color! Reminds me of ice cream. Yum.

Classy.

Love the fit, print and the sequins!!!

I like the pattern and style of this dress.

Too bad their dresses are priced &50 and up. And knowing me, I wouldn't shell out that much for just a dress or a top. That's why I never buy Topshop dresses worth P3K. Or shop in Zara and buy a shirt for P2K. I didn't even buy clothes in Forever 21. I would rather spend my money in thrift shops. I get the same styles anyway. The only thing I would actually spend for-- are shoes. Nina Garcia would be proud. Been reading her book "Style Strategy".

It's definitely a good read. Thanks Lui for lending me the book!

Oh, and I got a notice from the post office today! It just means I have a package waiting for me. I'm still waiting for the other notice though. It's either my hat from Chictopia rewards that's already sitting there--lonely and waiting to be redeemed--or the printed tights I ordered. Yey! I'm also planning to finally ask the post office guys their international shipping rates so I could join Chictopia's Chic Swap and finally open my online store to international buyers. Will keep you posted. ;)

And oh, what's this?

It's a confirmation that we're really joining the Kapampangan food tour on the 24th! Mich is kinda excited for this 'coz it's gonna be all about food (her only vice) and some side trips to other famous spots and churches in Pampanga. And while we're there I might be able to check out Mango Outlet store. Yey! If you want to join (and I think you still can!) you can check out Travel Advocate's website. 

Archive Clothing might also be participating in the Port 88 bazaar on July 31. And I am going to the Rockwell bazaar this weekend! See you fellow bloggers and Chictopians!:)

Will post about my blazer collection next. :)
