Monochrome and The Zara Skort

I know it’s a little late to be blogging about this but I was so happy when I finally got my hands on the most coveted Zara Skort I’ve been seeing in most blogs I follow. We don’t have Zara here and so I thought it was going to be impossible for me to have one, but I had an emergency flight to Manila and I put it on my agenda to go on the hunt for one.  I actually wanted to get it in two colours, black and white, but it’s a good thing practicality made its way to my undecided brain and so I chose (after a good ten minutes of debating with myself in the fitting room) to just get it in black. I love everything about it especially it’s versatility. For today i chose to put together a monochrome outfit. My camera’s battery went flat and so we used my boyfriend’s camera phone to take photos. I must say I was pretty impressed with the photo quality of Samsung Note 2, it was a life saver! Anyway, If you stumble upon The Zara Skort or something similar, don’t think twice, get one…or two! :p

Manila Haul!

We don’t really have a variety of clothing brands here in Auckland, so every time I come home to Manila, I sort of go crazy…well, okay I begin to spaz at the mere sight of a mall and then go totally crazy and shop until I’ve literally entered the shops twice in one day to make sure I haven’t missed out on anything worth buying lol! Manila has become such a shopping haven already with so many clothing stores opening here and there. One that just recently opened when I was there was a Spanish brand called Suite Blanco at the SM Aura Mall and I loved all their stuff, plus the prices were pretty reasonable too. Everyone that loves a carefree urban chic outfit must go and check it out! I went to my usual stops, Topshop and Zara, and there was never a time that I left both stores empty handed. There is always something to buy in Topshop and Zara haha! I also went on a little splurge and treated myself to a neat pair of Celine sunglasses which I have been wanting for such a long time and my oh so fabulous mom got me a cute Kate Spade satchel which I adore so much! I can’t wait to share ootd posts again!

Gonna start saving up again now.

‘Til next time!

See ya! xx
