Smurfs Backpack from Clipper

I didn't realize that I wasn't able to blog about one of the few things I bought last New Year --- a Smurfs backpack from Clipper!

Peter and I found ourselves at Festival Mall to buy materials for my soap making adventure. After getting everything we needed, we were just supposed to go to Goldilocks to have a hearty lunch when we passed by Clipper and Peter wanted to see some backpacks. He actually bought one for himself, a much bigger version of my Smurfs backpack, but with superhero characters as the design.


Then I thought I would need one too especially since I plan to travel light this summer for my 6-week stay in Boracay. So, I browsed their entire backpack collection until I saw one that screamed "Buy me! Buy me!"


Smurfs and I go a long way back. They're one of my most favorite cartoon characters while growing up. I guess it was because I related a lot to Smurfette in a vain and self-absorbed kind of way to the point that even my college blockmates used to call me Smurfette because I always seemed to be living in my own little bubble (I still do, hehe). No wonder when I saw the smurfs on the bag, I immediately bought it.

So that's the story of my Smurfs backpack. Can't wait to introduce it to Boracay this summer. ^_^

Shopping Getup

On weekends when my hubby and I were not out of town or beach bumming somewhere, I found myself going to the mall and shopping instead. I know, I know... I should really stop this habit soon. It's killing my finances. Teehee. But anyway, since it's already been done, I might as well enjoy the process, right? I usually wear flats these days, but since I bought those Janilyn shoes, I might as well use them. So for two consecutive Saturdays (March 13 and March 19), I wore my black and burgundy JUAN pairs by JANILYN. Here's the rest of my getup:

Haltered frilled top by Details Trading

Tan leggings from Kuala Lumpur

Coach sling bag

Guess watch

Accessories from Boracay and Cebu

Shopping at Cubao Expo

On March 7, 2010, Sunday, I went to Cubao Expo for the 2nd time to see what the fuss is about. It's been ages since I last bought ukay-ukay items (I used to buy in Baguio, Tagyatay and QC). For one, I thought I already stopped buying something that's already been used, and two, I just didn't feel the need to go. But since it's a lazy summer day and the tiangge in Eastwood suddenly disapperaed (Ninette and I were supposed to buy more fur shoes and beach wear), we opted to check out Cubao Expo instead.

This was the same day I bought all my 5 pairs of Janilyn shoes.
