Happy Birthday MANELS!

I've always known MANELS since I was a kid. Every school opening, I would wish and pray for new school shoes and I would always shriek with delight whenever my parents gave me permission to buy from the best which is Manels. :) But that's before I found out that their shoes are sturdy as hell, so my parents didn't allow me to buy new ones til they're all worn out and beaten. Haha. The point is, they've been around forever for as long as I can remember and I'm so delighted and honored to have stood witness to the brand's revitalization. I'm so excited and happy for the new Manels--chicer & "fashion forward"!:)

So the other day, they held a private sale exclusive for bloggers and I was there. It was soooo much fun. One of the lightest event I've been to. :)  But first off, do you know that MANELS is celebrating their 47th year anniversary (wow!)??? As a big thank you to everyone who stood by them and believed in their brand, they're selling ALL of their items for 1/2 the price! :) 

So going back, private SALE + shoes & bags + bloggers = total chaos! Haha. It felt like we were in amazing race. Lol. Here are photos from the event!
