New In: Shoes, Clothes, aaaand bags! :D

Hello there, sweeties!
I am writing this post while lying almost helplessly in bed; my flu is incapacitating me to an annoying extent. >_< I wasn't able to attend my classes yesterday, and so as today's. Plus, I'll be having an exam on Monday, another on Tuesday, aaaand another one on Wednesday, and a Scrapbook project to be passed on Wednesday morning. Guess what? I haven't started on anything yet. I haven't, because I can't. Reeeeaally can't. I tried but I just couldn't focus. T__T

I'm taking my medicines quite religiously, but they don't seem to help. I think I should bug my dad to bring us (he's ill, too) to the hospital already; maybe this isn't just a Flu. ~_~

Anyway, since I am sick and not capable of actually shooting and editing some decent photos, I'll first feed you with my low-quality instagram shots. Mehehe.

These items came from my tita ninang (she resides in Seattle, WA), whom I already treated as my mom ever since, and even more when my biological mom left us for another guy. Oh well. Tita ninang really knows what tickles my fancy!

Shoes: FLATS! ♥

I'll be posting more photos, and more decent ones, when I get well and when I already survived my exam week. Teehee.

Love lots,

SHOE FETISH: ASIAN VOGUE ♥

“Shoes are the quickest way for women to achieve instant metamorphosis.” 

― Manolo Blahnik

Yes, I certainly agree. Cinderella was not the only one whose life was changed by shoes.

I was just entering my teenage life when my mom left us, and with only my dad and younger brother with me, I thought I'd had to discover my womanhood on my own. I was timid, got no style, really just plain and simple. But when I turned 16, my daddy started buying me gorgeous shoes -- their heels gradually getting higher and higher every time. And before I knew it, it had turned me into the lady I didn't expect I could be. Thanks to my dad... and to my shoes!

Now I'm 18, and I am just getting more fond of shoes. Though I don't have my own money to buy my own shoes yet, I love browsing at shoe catalogs online and when at the mall (so I already know which one to show dad when he asks me if I want new shoes. hihi). Just a few months ago, while browsing for shoes online, I've had what I think is the best EUREKA! moment in my entire shoe-hunting history. 

I HAVE FOUND ASIAN VOGUE SHOP.

Dedicated to cater every fashionista's ever changing style. Asian Vogue provide shoppers with an extensive selection of fashion forward footwear...

From Classic Blacks...

"Give a girl the right shoes, 

and she can conquer the world."

-- Marilyn Monroe

When I was 12 years old, my mom left us for another guy. It was really hard for me as I was just walking into my teenage years -- one of the most crucial parts, I believe -- without a mom to guide me along and help me with all the kikay stuff that I wanna try and explore. I only had my dad and my younger brother with me, with the occasional visits of my uncle who worked in a cruise in Europe. You see, I was the only female in the house, and so I was afraid to try to experiment with my girly-girl side. I was afraid they wouldn't understand all the vanity. I was afraid they would criticize me and call me maarte and stuff of the like. So I kept 'em all to myself, and became just a simple, typical, looks-younger-than-my-age teen. At 15, I still dressed and looked like a girl instead of a teen; really different from the usual girls my age. But when we transferred to Metro Manila, and as I reached 16, I realized I shouldn't be too afraid that my family might criticize me. Because just then, my dad actually became my personal stylista. I know, right? I was shocked, too! Turns out he has a very good and sophisticated sense of style, and the dresses and shoes he bought me were all reeeeaaally classy. Imagine the delight of a daddy's girl when she finds out that her dad knows exactly what she wants, after all! NOTE: My dad is straight, okay?

That was the time I discovered the magic and beauty of shoes. From two inches, to three, and now to four; high heels gave me the confidence I needed as a young lady. There's a certain magic whenever I wear heels. I gain instant confidence in my posture and stance, I become more prim & proper with the way I walk... it just turns me into a lady. And with all the essence of it. 

With my shoe fetish getting more into me, I've been browsing shops online looking for shoes that I might show my dad (and hopefully be bought by him for me. heehee). Just recently, I discovered Zalora Philippines from my blog community, NuffNang and saw just what I was looking for!

ZaloraPH offers a vast range of products from Fashion, Sports, Home & Living, and even to Pet Care! There is also no need to worry about the quality, because Zalora offers products from the top brands in the Philippines and internationally.
