SM City Sta. Mesa's 3-Day SALE - Fashion and Beauty Haul

Tweet

A new season is fast approaching. The weather is getting a little bit warmer, so a wardrobe updating is a must. Because I try to be practical and more sensible when I shop, I choose to buy the season's essentials when there's a sale. Good thing SM City Sta. Mesa is having their 3-Day SALE event this weekend! This is the chance to score my perfect summer essentials at discounted prices! :)

When I go on sale events such as this, I always gravitate into shoes.

As we all know, shoes can get quite expensive, which is understandable. We need durable and stylish shoes to wear everyday, especially when you have to walk a considerable distance when you go to work.

Celine, Payless and Jellybean are just some of the stores in SM City Sta. Mesa that are offering huge discounts on some fabulous shoes you can wear this (or any) season!

Of course, how can not check out SM Department Store?

I'm particularly a fan of SM Parisian Shoes and Bags. I think they have good quality for their price, and they're pretty stylish too. 

SHOPPING TIP:

To get the best bargains, check out the hallways right outside SM Department Store.

They have stalls there that stores items in huge discounts! They have so much discounted items that they had to put them outside. From shoes, bags, luggages to household items, they have it on sale!

MY HAUL: 

If you're a follower of my blog (hopefully you are), you know I love shopping in the SM Girls' Teens Wear Department. Yes, despite my plump physique, I manage to find dresses and tops in this department that fits me. ;) I also found a fab skirt in the SM Ladies Fashion Department. :)

I've been using 2 Majolica Majorca products (Lash & Brow Tint and Automatic Liner) for quite some time now, and I absolutely love them. Since the Department Store is offering discounts, especially on big purchases (P1500 and up, with SMAC), I thought this is the best time to purchase the products that I want from this brand. I bought their face primer (Skin Lingerie Pore Cover), powder blush (Puff De Cheek) and their powder foundation (Skin Remaker Pore Cover). 

 

 My Best Bargain Buy 

 I chose this as my Best Bargain Buy because the luxurious and decadent gold casing came in practically FREE. Yes, FREE. This set will usually cost P1500 (the refill and sponge for P1,050 and casing for P450).

Now how much did I have to spend to get this set? A whopping P1,050 only.

From P1500 to P1,050! That's like a 30% discount, and I love it!

The SM City Sta. Mesa 3-Day SALE is happening this weekend. You still have until Sunday to grab a chance in getting awesome items in huge discounts, so hurry!

Origial Post: http://chilipina.blogspot.com/2012/07/outfit-of-day-retro-mullet.html

Made it to SM Girls Teens' Wear Facebook Page, AGAIN! Feels just as awesome as the first time. :)

This is my first mullet anything. Hahaha! I love the fact that it's the more wearable kind of mullet.

The front part of the dress is not too high. I also love the chiffon fabric.

Outfit Of The Day: Retro Mullet

Tweet

I was really hesitant about this trend: the high-lows and mullet style of dresses and skirts. 

I remember ranting to a girlfriend that I don't get the point of this. 

Why can't they just make it either short, or long? But now I caught myself embracing this trend. 

Funny thing is, for a second there, I forgot that fashion doesn't always make sense. 

Its an art; a medium of self-expression, and output of one's creativity. So how could I have judged it? 

This mullet dress is not the most obvious kind. The front part is not that high unlike your usual mullet dress / skirts. It's also in gorgeous pleated chiffon, giving it a romantic feel. I also love the playful retro print. It's originally a sleeveless dress, but yeah like I would wear such in a public place (except if I'm going swimming, of course).

I donned this outfit during an event by a local beauty and spa clinic.

What I Wore:

Mullet dress - Betty by SM Girls Teens' Wear

Cardigan - Jus Ur Size by SM Ladies Fashion

Bag - H&M

Sandals - People Are People

Look who's featured in SM Girls Teens Wear! :)

Original post: http://chilipina.blogspot.com/2012/06/outfit-of-day-boots-fans-a-bow.html

I was beyond thrilled when I received an email that I was featured in SM Girls Teens Wear Facebook page. I'm a loyal customer of SM Ladies Fashion and SM Girls Teens Wear because their stuff are gorgeous but won't break my budget. I also love the P100 discount coupon they have for the GTW department. Click HERE for more information about that.

It really feels good when you're passion is recognized. Its not just a form of validation that you're doing something right or well, but also because its like a "nod" or "thumbs up" from the brand or company that you believe in.

More outfits to be posted soon! ;)

My Red Shoes

Tweet

"Please take me home".

Just like Dorothy, I've been asking my red shoes to take me home. I've been wandering too much, thus I feel lost.

I must confess I've been quite ungrateful for some opportunities that has been presented to me. But at the end of the day, if I'm not happy, I really can't stay. If it doesn't feel right, it will never feel right.

Someday, somehow, I will get there.

What I Wore:

Red patent leather shoes - SM Department Store

Dress - SM Girls Teens' Wear

SM Dept Store Girls Teens' Wear - Coupon for P100 Off

Tweet

Who would have thought a luscious plus-sized chic like myself would find items at the Girls Teens' Wear department that actually fits and flatters?

People usually compliment my style and ask where I get such nice clothes; SM Girls Teens' Wear is one of my secret shopping havens. ;)

I really don't constraint or limit myself with just "plus size" clothes. Maybe its the rebel in me, but I just don't like being boxed.

Now what do I consider when looking for items that would fit me in the regular-sized department: style, cut, and material. I usually gravitate towards empire cut dresses, stretchy (but not clingy) fabrics, and everything else that has forgiving cuts and styles.

I also prefer buying in the GTW because items more affordable than the items in the Ladies Department.

But what do I love more about shopping here especially now? DISCOUNT!

How to avail the P100 Discount?

Coupon can be found on this issue of GTW Shopzine. Ask a sales lady for a copy :)

 

Present this coupon to get P100 off for a P1,000 minimum single receipt purchase of items at the Girls Teens' Wear Department.

 Chilipina's Haul?

The first dress (a little more formal) is worth P549.75 while the Pink/Grey dress is P599.75. Because I purchased them in a single transaction (Total is P1150), I used the voucher and I only paid P1050. I love discounts!!! That P100 that I saved was properly used to buy Milk Tea. Hahaha!

Dress #1

 

 

 

Dress #2

 

 

 

 

Now girls, regardless if you're small, medium, large, xl, or beyond, no matter how old or young you are, don't limit yourself with what the label or sign tells you.
Explore, experiment, and have fun! Fashion is supposed to be fun for everyone!
