Challenge | a Set of clothing for P2000

I went to Robinson's Galeria, challenging myself to buy my Birthday wearables, within my budget, P2000. Luckily, it was FNH Monstrous sale -- my challenge though with FNH, their target market are the thin ones! I hardly fit most of their clothes, else I look like a Balloon. hahaha.

And so I did!

• PRP shoes: P999 <check out my other post for this pair>
• FNH vest: P600

The pin on the vest, came from a jacket I got from PRP, for only P500.

• PRP long sleeves: P500 <check out this post on how to go there>

What I have just forgotten--PANTS! hahahha.

People Are People Shoes

Yes, I fess up, I like shoes! I mean, I love SHOES! But the thing is, I don't want to spend much on them, so the solution is, Bargain Hunt. =)

This is Chuck, from my Salescapade with Converse on top of other pairs in their boxes, with thumbnails, so I won't get lost. =)

Soon, I am gonna have to get Clear Shoe boxes, like the ones below, to make it easier for me, and for the aesthetic value of it, hahaha. Saw one in Greenhills, but they go for P50 each, way too pricey for me. Am gonna look for it in Tutuban, but if you know one, let me know. =)

So, I was on my Birthday mood last week and really alloted money for buying something for myself. Alas, we were back again in People Are People, the outlet store. Check out my post Outlet StorePeople are People on how to go there.

And then I found this pair!!!!

The Best thing: it's only P999. This time , the "Should I" or "Should I not" unending debate, did not happen, since it's way too cheap and I have alloted money for it.

On the same store, but on another day, I also decided to get this pair from PRP, again for only, P999.

I have my shoes piled on top of each other at my room, so I'd know which one to use for which day of work. I only use frequently, the last pair that I bought, for about a week, then I go on my routine of having them used every other day. That way, they don't get too bumped up and look too used.

Other stores I've gotten my shoes from:

1. Traffic
2. Pedro
3. Kickers
4. Diesel

Til the next shoe! Hmmm, there already is a new one... check it out... for only P600 =) Bargain challenge!

--from their Multiply Page

I forgot the name of the Resto, but it was jam packed on an afternoon. =) It's not Bellini's, the Famed Italian-chic resto, darn, I forgot the name,I have to go back again, hahahah.

There's a corner place called, Moowai, a cinema-inspired resto and fronting it is an equally, artsy-inspired bar, that you can get house decor inspirations, from the multi-colored,patched up throw pillows, to their maong covered sofas.

I loved the house decor vintage stores, the items are way cool than that of malls, its just that, they're a bit pricey, oh well, what do you expect--Quality Item, Aged, but in good condition ==> Pricey. =) The stores are similar to that of Kamuning's Vintage stores. Antique Collector's: this is a haven for you.

There are vintage deco chairs. Unfortunately, the store was closed, so I was not able to check for the price.

On the same store, I found Lady Gaga. =)

Ambience:
The place is actually a big compound made up of units. It's not as close to Greenbelt's or Eastwood's Al Fresco setup, but some of the store displays are fancy enough, you'd invite yourself in.

Parking:

There is a parking space right beside it, or why not park at a mall near it, SM Cubao, Gateway, Alimall, Shopwise, or even at Araneta and just walk, besides its just near.

Operating Hours:

10am-9pm

How to get there?
It's on the left side of the Ali Mall Bus Station. It's within the Araneta Cubao vicinity. Check out the map on the bottom section of this post.

Outlet Store | Rusty Lopez

I did a post on Cubao Expo, and one of the stores, I frequently visit is the Rusty Lopez Outlet Store.

As an outlet store, you really have to go through a lot of Freakishly designed items or the "Art-had-thrown-up-and-it-got-all-the-trimmings-and-design-in-a-single-item" stuffs.

I have listed below, some of my select few.


Ambience:
The place is filled with a lot of items, that you literally go crazy which to look at and to avoid (eyesores-Ugly Stuffs-things you don't buy at all).

And this is common for Outlet Stores, since they have to sell either last season's designs, or last pair of shoes.

For shoes, what they placed on the display cabinets, would always be the smaller sizes, and they also display available colors, so avoid asking "May Maliit pa bang size to?" (is there a smaller size?) or "Anong ibang kulay?" (is there another color?)

What you'll get from this place?

• Shoes (His and Hers, Children)
• Bags
• Belts
• Clothes (Tops,His and Hers)

Now, let's go to business =)

This one looks freakishly close to Ferragamo's Black Driving Loafers . Too bad it's a size 45, am a 43. And it's only for P1049.50.

Look at the one on of the left of it--Too many things going on for a shoe.

Driving Loafers are so in. Wear them in skinny jeans or with shorts. I just got a pair of new shoes last week from People are People, but I'll post that separately-Uber excited to share, hehehe.

So I had a discussion with myself, "Should I" or "Should I not", -- and the "Should I" with a Big YES won. This is what I got for myself! in Brown.

It's only for P600, from P2200.

More Loafers...

But this is a bit pricey.

Gladiator shoes are still here for about P800:

Sequined Ballet Flats for about P700:

Bags--these ones go for about P500. Big ones -> P1500

Outlet Store | The Off-Price Store

"Inspired by the outlet store concepts in the US and Europe, such as TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshalls and the like, the off-price retail concept was reconfigured for the Philippine market and packaged into smaller and more convenient store locations. "

"The Off-Priced store ensures that customers get authentic branded labels such H & M, Ann Taylor, Junk Food, Jack and Jones, Replay, crocs, Tommy Hilfiger and other top name brands at 50 to 80 % cheaper than retail store prices."

"The Off-Price Store is the country’s first and only upscale off-price specialty store, currently available in 7 locations nationwide. It is operated by The Offprice Stores corporation located in 15 J.M Escriva Drive, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. "
