I've always known about the shoe brand Mario D' Boro since I was still working at Robinson's Department Store as an Assistant Buyer/Category Officer. It was one of my favorite shoe brands! Together with my co-buyers, we would often take a peek see during our regular store visits just to see what's new. For someone who's on a shopping budget, they have stylish designs and their prices are reasonable!Here's one of their featured pair from their upcoming collection...

Last week, I headed to Greenbelt 3 to visit the awesome shoe store Call It Spring. Trivia: Did you know that the Philippines is the 1st Asian country to have Call It Spring? Cool huh? :) Anyway, I've been itching to see what this new store carries ever since I saw it on Tin's blog. So when I got an invite from Cathleen, CIS' brand assistant to visit their 2nd branch in the Philippines, I immediately said yes! Here's some photos I took of the store...

After 1 hour--finally!
Can you guess what I took home?:) Okay, no need to guess--here are my outfit shots wearing them!
Plaid polo & shorts - thrifted, bag-thailand, hat-SM, wedges- c/o Call It Spring
dress-landmark, sequined cardi - redracks, bag-vintage versace, nude wedge-c/o Call It Spring
They're surprisingly comfortable (especially the strappy one!) and chic too. The price range is not that bad as well. Think ALDO-ish shoes at Charles & Keith prices! Like ALDO and C&K, Call It Spring is under the Bench umbrella as well. :)Figures. Hehe. When I entered the store I immediately said "Parang Aldo!" Hehe.
Go drop by and shop. I'm definitely going back soon to buy those leopard print sneakers (just P1,050 a pair)!

Last week, I got invited by Liz of Projectvanity to a special dinner by Ferretti with it's owner Ms. Cecille. I didn't say yes just because I'm fond of going to events (I know some of you guys know that I choose what events to go to), I said yes because I was really curious as to how and where the brand now stand. I've always known Ferretti since forever, since my "tambay" days at Sta. Lucia mall. I'm pretty sure I bought from them before--maybe 2x or more--but eversince other shoe brands popped up, I visited them less and less. I can't remember the last time I went inside their store. But now! Well, they're back with a vengeance. :)
Most of you may think that Ferretti is an old brand still carrying old styles. Well, you're wrong. I was wrong. As soon as I entered 2nd's resto conference room, I immediately noticed the nice shoes lined up. I was surprised! In a good way. :) After 10 minutes upon arrival, I was already crushing on a few pairs. Liz is now their brand manager and here she is explaining where the gorgeous shoes came from!
wow, hightech.
Ms. Cecille is the one beside Lloyda:)
They are also the owner of Naraya bags!
SM-North Edsa branch
quilted and chic--can you guess what I took home?:) yep, the smallest bag:)
chika galore:)
food porn!!! yum.
I'm really proud of Ms. Cecille for all the positive changes they've made for the brand. Now it's on my list of shoe stores to always watch out for!:) Best part? It's proudly Filipino made manufactured in Marikina! Yeah, reprezent! Hehe!
The next day, I visited their store in Makati (after my Status Magazine meeting). It's located in the very posh area of Glorietta 5. I love!
they also have cute bags and accessories!
Here are my picks...
