Retail Therapy : Zalora

I did a bit of retail therapy online the other day and decided to shop at Zalora (among other shops) to look for basic black flats. I'm preparing for my trip to Singapore (which I'll be posting about once I'm there!) and I just know in my heart I need basic black flats since they go with EVERYTHING in my closet! It's pretty difficult finding shoes that fit me (I'm usually a size 10 or 40!) so I'm lucky that Zalora carries several brands with my size... The shipping was pretty fast too! I placed in my order and paid via credit card last Saturday (Jan. 17) and it arrived yesterday (Jan. 19)... Read on to check out my little haul... ZALORA Basics - Basic Ballerina Flats Price : P399 Color : Black (comes in 3 other colors)
This is a pair that was originally for me but then I decided that this would look a lot better on my sister because it has an almond shaped toe area. My sister has slimmer feet and since she's off to college, I'm sure these basic black flats will serve her well! Mi Mieux - Alexis Ballet Flats Price : P299 Color : Black (comes in 2 other colors)
This pair happened to be the one I chose for myself. It has a rounder toe and can accommodate my wide feet better. It's not so clear in the photo but this has a simple bow detail on the front part. Can't wait to explore Singapore in these babies! CLN Specials - Zippered Wallet Price : P349 Color : Purple (comes in 8-10 other colors)
Lastly I purchased this zippered wallet to help keep my cash and other little things organized in my bag especially on my trip to Singapore. I wanted a pouch that could hold my keys, cash and other tidbits so that it wouldn't litter around my bag. This is perfect because my phone can also fit inside it! It has three compartments, a wristlet-type cord and is in one of my favorite colors - purple! Will definitely talk more about this pouch in the future... It's going to be included in my "what's in my bag" post soon...

Small XOXO Armcandy Haul!

I've been trying to break away from my usual choice of huge bulky military-like men's watches and have opted to get more dainty pieces. That's why I'm so in love with XOXO ARMCANDY. Xoxo Armcandy is Zamboanga based ans started out as an online shop that now has an actual physical store and is managed by Miss Alyssa and her boyfie.   Xoxo Armcandy Facebook IG : @xoxoarmcandy Contact # : 09173053337 I stopped by the shop yesterday to pick up a few of my orders, hence this small haul post. One of the things I love about this shop is its packaging. They use eco-friendly paper bags and rarely use plastic bags.

ASOS Curve!

Last night my little sister sent me links to items available at ASOS Curve. I've heard (and even checked out) ASOS Curve before so I was pretty excited that my lil sister has discovered it too... For those who aren't aware of ASOS Curve, it's the plus size extension to the regular line at ASOS.
But wait, what is ASOS?

ASOS.com is a global online fashion and beauty retailer and offers over 50,000 branded and own label product lines across womenswear, menswear, footwear, accessories, jewelry andbeauty. ASOS has websites targeting the UK, USA, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Australia and also ships to over 190 other countries from its central distribution centre in the UK. Aimed at fashion forward 16-34 year olds, ASOS attracts over 13.6 million unique visitors a month and as at 30 September 2011 had 6.3 million registered users and 3.7 million active customers from 160 countries (defined as having shopped in the last 12 months).

How about ASOS Curve?

Expertly designed to flatter the fuller figure, ASOS Curve brings forth a carefully considered collection of trend-led, plus size clothing for sizes (US) 14 to 24. From dresses and jeans to tops, trousers and belts, directional designs exclusive to the Curve collection, we have it all. Shop our newest brand and fashion fave New Look Inspire for fresh, fun and flattering styles this season.

So anyway, I decided it was finally time to check out a few pieces especially since most were on "SALE" and I got to avail of FREE shipping!
ASOS Curve Top with Raglan Sleeve - White/Gray = $10.18 = P441.91 ASOS Curve Exclusive Full Length Legging - Back = $16.97 = P736.67 ASOS Curve Lace Skater Dress with Belt - Black = $21.21 = P920.73
**conversions made through TheMoneyCoverter My total "damage" amounted to $48.36 which is roughly P2099.31 an amount that I could also easily spend on the Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove. I'm glad I spent it on clothes (something I need more) than on the glove since there's a DIY for that. I'm really excited since this is my first time to order from ASOS Curve. I stuck to standard shipping (around 12 days) so I could enjoy the free shipping. 
Next on my "to-buy" list are the following: ASOS Curve Exclusive Bomber in Denim = $53.46 ASOS Curve Exclusive Skater in Variegated Stripe = $30.55
To all my plump readers, have you tried checking out ASOS Curve? How was your experience with it? I'm really psyched for my orders. I'll definitely update you guys!
