Very Affordable Fabfinds

Hi everyone! Basically this post will be lots of photos, I just wanna share with you that looking fabulous doesn't necessarily mean to splurge your hard earned money for it. Last week me and my son went to 168 Mall located at Divisoria. Its a place here in the Philippines where you can buy cheap stuffs and if you buy in bulk you can ask the saleslady for a wholesale price. It's like a Night Market in HK in Temple St. and I can see lots of foreigners shopping there nowadays. If you're planning to go there, it would be wise to go on weekdays and go there very early. 168 Mall opens from 7 am - 6 pm and the aircondition inside the Mall is good plus they also have restrooms that are well maintained and surprisingly way much cleaner compared to some restrooms at other leading Malls here in Manila. One thing more, wear your comfortable shoes and clothes especially if you plan to explore shopping spree outside the said Mall in Divisoria.

The recent trip in Divisoria I found some earrings and necklaces for a very cheap price. Bought in bulk.... I can't resist the cuteness of the items especially the earrings. My son even commented "Ma, can you wear all that stuff at the same time???" hehehe... True! but never mind cause I bought the earrings for 25 pesos/ 0.58 $ each if you buy at least 6 (they sell it for 50 pesos/ 1.15$ if you only buy 1) while the necklaces are for 45 / 1$ for the wholesale price vs the 80 pesos /1.80$ when you only buy 1.

Let me show you what I'm chit chatting about.

earrings for 80 php each but if you buy 6 or more it'll be for 40 php each

My Wishlist: The Cambridge Satchel

I am having a "bag fever" right now! It's been 4 years since I haven't purchased any bag or shoes for myself. After cleaning all my stuff for the past weeks, I thought of buying a new bag but haven't decided what to buy yet. I wanted to buy a more structured bag and more on a classic style. I found "the one" a few months ago but everytime I'm in the store would'nt end up buying it. My conscience tells me I need to save up for the rainy days! Eventhough "H" already gave me a go signal to buy it...

The bag I'm talking about is the Cambridge Satchel. It's from UK a handmade bag and made of a genuine leather. From what I know it isn't mass produced, you have to order for it and wait for a few weeks to own one. You can even have it personalized and the charge for it is per letter. The good news is that is available here in the Philippines at the Chocolate Schu Bar branches (Rockwell, Trinoma, Glorieta and Mall of Asia).

Here's pic of a personalized one.

 I have been eyeing the RED one =) and also the flourescent pink which they just launched recently.

I hope my wish will come true! Crossing my fingers. =)
