Food + Shiny New Things

I went to Greenhills the other day to pick up the bags I'll be using for our weekend bazaar. I also went around while trying hard to suppress the temptation of buying things I fancy--and there's a lot! I did go home with something though. My brand new yellow wedge! I love it.

Pardon my ugly feet. Hehe.

I also went around looking for boater hats. Found some stores that sell hats and some boaters but they only came in brown and they're big on my head (oh why head???). Sad. 

But of course, food tramped my sadness especially when I found out there's Omakase (a Japanese resto) in Greenhills! We always fail to eat at Omakase Eastwood , there's always a long line outside. So here are some of the photos I took. I tried to take some outfit shots but I was too tired (with barely 3 hours of sleep) to actually pose hence the not so decent photos. Lol.

Omakase waiting area (I love their waiting area!). Their waiting area in Eastwood sucks.

Wearing: newly thrifted white shirt, Zara shorts, Millies flats, Longchamp bag, Accessorize accessories

And then we were told our table upstairs is ready! So up we went.

No the waiter is not mad. Nagpapaliwanag lang (just explaining). Mich has this habit of testing waiters if they know their menu by heart. She asks them questions like what's their bestsellers, difference between whatevers, blah blah.And Kuya here passed the challenge. Har.

 I tried to sleep while waiting for the food. I was so groggy.

But I can't sleep so I decided to show off  and take photos of my earrings. 

Thanks Kat of Chickflick!

Accessorize Lucky necklace worn as bracelet.

Finally, our food! Warning: highly mouthwatering.

Jurassic Maki

Kani and Potato salad

Ebi Fry.

Me trying an outfit shot again..

Yes arte. lol.

The thing I hate about Greenhills is the scarcity of cabs. We had to wait in line for an hour, got pissed, left, and within 5 minutes of walking in another area we finally saw an empty one! We should have left the line earlier. Ugh. As soon as we're inside, I passed out of exhaustion and I was in lala dreamland.

Totally unrelated, but I wanna show you some of my new things...

Bracelet - gift from Lee of Candypopshop, Shoe Clip - from Xreations

Decided to try the shoe clips on my Cotton On flats...

 

 Before. Plain and boring.

After. So charming!

(This comes in other colors too!)

Got my bow ring from Ana of Anagon accessories, They're lovely and it fits me perfectly!

And found this Tsumori Chisato top from a thrift shop!!! *swoons*

And look!

... a notice from the post office. My hats are finally here! Yipee! =)

I will go drop by their booths to say hi. Do so too!:)

Ana, I'll hole up (a.k.a tambay) in your booth ha. Let's take millions of photos. Haha.

Sneak Peek: Part Deux

And here are more of my favorite ARCHIVE pieces to be sold at the Port 88 bazaar. They're all so pretty it breaks my heart to let each of them go. 

I seriously want to keep all of them. BUT nooooo. I'll pray to the mighty vintage gods to give me more strength and will power to not give into hoarding temptation. Hahaha. =)

In other news... I won again a chic new item from Chictopia Rewards! This time it's this very pretty brown geimo espadrille from Scarpasa.

I love that it's versatile and I can wear it with everything--shorts, dresses or pants. Can't wait! I just hope it runs true to size.

Anyway, I just received more items in the mail today. And no they're not for me, but for you guys for the giveaway! =) And adding to the list of sponsors is ICONIQUE. And they're sending me these gorgeous pieces to be added to the prize pot.

Go visit their website for more of their items. AND they also ship internationally! :) Contest will start on Monday. So mark your calendars and hope you could all go back here to send your entries!

I love Mr. Mailman & Day 4

Okay so here's another entry from the 30-day challenge. I decided to skip #3 and do #4 instead, just for today. Will then do #3 on my next post. Okay, I know I'm weird like that. So... a habit I wish I didn't have-- okay, it's gonna be my LIP SKINNING (major) and NAILBITING (minor). I swear, I can't stop. I always mess up my hard earned manicure and I can't ever wear lipstick because of it. When I do these two I fall into a deep trance (especially my lip abuse). I would only stop when a friend or whoever asks me to 'coz my lip is already bleeding. Argh. I wanna go to lip skinning rehab.

Speaking of habits. I think my only habit that I love is shopping! And speaking of shopping, here are the lovely new things I got from the mail today...

  It's my hat from Chictopia Rewards! Yey!:)

Printed tights I ordered from Ebay.

Hearts Hearts:)

Bows! Love:)

Geometric skirt from fashionstopshop. Thanks Melai!

And I'm lovin' my new sheets!

Now, sleeping can be fun and colorful!

It's gonna be a busy weekend for me. Will meet with my 2 friends, whom I'd share the Port 88 booth with, tomorrow. We're gonna be discussing other details like booth design (we're going for vintage), tags, etc. Oh, it's gonna be a busy day. Hope I can document how it all goes! Then on Sunday I'll start washing the clothes myself. I don't rely on laundry shops anymore coz I don't like the smell of the clothes after. So I opted to do it my way. God give me the strength not to pass out or feel lazy (highly likely). Have a good weekend!:)

Sneak Peek: Première Partie

It's confirmed! Archive Clothing will be participing at the Port 88 bazaar on July 31-August 1 at the Megatent, Ortigas.I will be sharing a booth with 2 of my FIP friends who'd be selling branded items (Mango, Bershka,Topshop, etc.). I on the other hand will of course stick with what I know best, selling vintage. And I'm kinda excited coz I have  a lot of amazing pieces to showcase. Most of the items are presently being beautified by my "clothes doctor" (aka my very friendly seamstress). And I tell you, it's hard as hell letting go of them (considering what a big hoarder I am haha). I told you I'll let you take a peek see, so here it is! Just some of my favorite pieces...
