I ended the 1st of September with a great event from our friends in Shu Uemura and a glass of wine with some of my favorite women in the world.

Picasso Boutique Hotel, 8th Floor - Beauty bloggers and the beautiful girls from Preview and StyleBible were invited to the launch of Shu Uemura Tsuya Skin. Hailed as the number 1 skin care product in Japan, praises sung by top Japanese beauty bloggers and magazine editors, it is now finally here in our country!

We all know that as we age our body starts to slow down. Our metabolism isn't the same when we are in our late teen and early 20's. And so does our skin. We are prone to skin dullness, wrinkles and fine lines since our skin slows down in regenerating. Add to that the stress that we women take on on daily basis.

It's my birthday today! And before my birthday, I decided to do bit of shopping... :)

I was strolling around in Megamall and after a few stops (Forever 21 and Watsons), I saw an accessory shop that I got to blog a few months back called Parfois. I also saw this blogs of Death by Platforms and other noted Filipina fashion blogs. The cat inside me called out to the shiny shimmery accessories inside the store that I skipped the shoe stores that I was suppose to visit for this one.

Parfois is a European Accessories store that offers up to date faux jewelries from bracelets, necklaces, earring and rings. They also have watches, belts, craves and bags. And oh! They nice shoes, too!

Goes to show how long I've been remiss of my shopping duties! There are stores in Megamall I missed. Tsk! Tsk! So not me!

So of course, I shopped! Good thing they have 15% off selected bags on BDO Creditcard holders and they have nice selections of Gold accessories. You know I'm crazy gaga over them.

And the accessories are covered in recyclable paper to protect them from breaking and scratches.

Meet my new everyday body bag, Bronwyn. It's priced at 1800++ but I got it for only 1500++. Thanks to my BDO Mastercard, I got this bag at 15% off. I love the brown shade of this bag and how light it is. Fits  all of my things, even my bulky DSLR camera.

I really shouldn't be left alone in a mall. Its almost equivocal to me getting drunk... I hardly have any inhibitions and my hand have its own way of reaching out to my debit and credit card.

If I were a fashion editor, I would make a spread devoting it to the store of the newly revamped-under-new-management Chocolate Clothing Co. When I was in college, which wasn't so long ago really, Chocolate (as we fondly call it) is one place I always frequent. Not so much to buy since I really can't afford anything in the store with my college allowance, but to admire every piece and to someday find a way that I could finally get myself something from this fabulous store...

And I think that day came when I got an invite to launch of Chocolate Clothing Co. under a new management. Apparently, many people doesn't know that this fab store is Filipino-owned and most of the clothes sold (aside from those with foreign brands) are actually made here in the Philippines! I didn't know know that but what a sweet surprise, right? All this time I though it's an international brand. Hehehe!
