Denim has always been a staple in everyone’s closet. For the past few months though, we have seen almost everywhere that the denim fever has made a come back. Denim dress, denim blouse, denim polo, denim jacket, denim vest, denim bolero, denim shorts… Everything is now in denim! And since almost all shops have been selling all these denim stuff, I ended up buying a couple of them. Geeesh! Shopping is bad for me these days! Well, I didn’t buy a lot because I ended up looking for all my denim clothes in my closets. Hehehe! Thank God, I haven’t given them away. I was actually surprised how much denim stuff I have. Some of them, I haven’t seen in ages. There’s just one piece of clothing that has been bothering me. I know my dear sister has this denim polo from I-don’t-know-what-year, but I swear it looks exactly the same as what I see in Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Promod. I just can’t find it! Haaay!
One shopping/ movie weekend, I just decided to wear shorts and a tank top. I found it so plain though. I was supposed to use my denim bolero, but I was thinking it would be so hot. Hehehe! You know how hot it can sometimes feel when wearing denim. The cloth is a bit thicker compared to other fabrics. So what did I end up wearing? Check it out below…
Yay, another Louis Vuitton damier for me… and now in Trevi PM! But before I was able to bring home my new baby, there is a complicated story behind this purchase which I will be sharing first. Hehehe! So read on…
Uh-huh, a certified shopaholic like Rebecca Bloomwood! In fact, I can’t think of a SINGLE moment or experience to show how shopaholic I am. Why?! Because I was born a shopaholic! Okay, okay not exactly since I was a baby. Obviously, I can’t talk and walk then; but when I started to talk and point on things, oh geesh… my parents probably wished I were a baby again. Hahaha! The words coming out of my mouth were always “I want this!”, “I want that!”, “Buy me this!”, or “Buy me that!” I’m not exaggerating! Okay, probably I grew up to be a spoiled brat. At least I’m honest. My wants just never ends! In fact, when I was in grade school, my mom and my aunt would call me “Bilmoko”. Shortcut for “bili mo ako” (in English- “Buy me…”). Oh and guess what?! Since I was a kid, I was trained well to shop all day. That’s what you call real “talent”! LOL! Imagine, my mom and I would go to the mall every single weekend. We would arrive just before lunch and stay up until closing time. You can literally say, we shop ‘til we drop! So now you guys probably understand why I can’t share a single moment ‘coz there are just so many moments! LOL! :-) Well, of course, there is more to this. This is just my childhood days.
When I was in high school, my mom thought I’m responsible enough to get a credit card. Yeah, baby… a supplementary credit card! No need to bring cash! Since I also started going out with my friends, my mom thought I really need to have one for emergency use. Oh, but there were just so many emergencies… the first release of Havaianas flip flops here in Manila, the last stock of a stunning dress, the last size of the red shoes I have been eyeing for so long, the gorgeous bag that went on sale, etc., etc., etc. As a result, whenever the credit card bill was delivered to our house, I literally get nervous! Thank God my parents love me so and they never ranted about my shopping sprees! Uh-huh, again I know and I admit- such a spoiled brat! LOL!
Now that I’m working and earning my own moolah, you think things have changed?! Nah-dah! Of course, I still have my supplementary credit cards and for some reason, my primary credit card bills are also being taken cared of by my parents. Hehehe! Oh, I know I’m horrible, but what can I do I just can’t live without shopping! Well, you might wonder what I do with the money I earn. Well, most of them are allotted for my craziness with designer bags and some gadgets. Okay, I have this ONE moment to share… When I went to the States last year, I ended up taking home 2 bags of Louis Vuitton. What was I thinking then?! I really go ga-ga over bags. In fact, before the year ended, I asked my good friend, Fashion Juice, to buy me my Chanel PST even if I haven’t seen it personally! But my sickness doesn’t stop here. The year just started and I seemed to have spent thousand and thousand of pesos already. I started my year with gadgets. First, a new mobile phone (as seen here). Then 2 weeks after, I bought a new DSLR. And I have yet to buy bags…hopefully, this summer. Plus, a new laptop… Oh, and I haven’t included here my almost weekly shopping for clothes, shoes, accessories, etc., etc., etc. I’m sorry but the list just goes on and on. I could actually write a book just by listing what I plan to buy this year. Pardon me, I know I said earlier that I’m only going to share ONE moment. Well, this is exactly the problem I was trying to tell you earlier. There can never be ONE because my entire life is mostly about my being a shopaholic! I’m totally intoxicated with shopping! Whenever I’m sad, shopping can make me happy. Whenever I’m in pain, shopping can heal me. Whenever I feel tired, shopping is my stress reliever. For some this may sound awful but SHOPPING is really my short-term solution to everything. Retail therapy can do wonders for me!
I am totally a certified shopaholic like Rebecca Bloomwood (but yes, minus the debt, thanks to my parents)! This is why I can’t wait to see my favorite chic flick of the year! So for those here in Manila, join me catch “Confessions of a Shopaholic” in Cinemas on February 18, 2009!
Silver hardware or gold hardware? That is the question! A question that every Chanel shopper faces before purchasing those luscious bags… Since I am Lush Angel, I want to live up with my name by being an angel to those who are confused whether to buy the silver or the gold hardware. A confusion that I, myself, went through. So what made me decide?
