Delightful Illusions

            Can you believe that Summer is almost over in a few weeks? I remember having a summer family outing last March, and we are now on May? Wow! Time flies by really fast. Anyways, I have done a lot of shopping and damage on my wallet in span of a month. There have been sales everywhere and I couldn't resist because it's been a long time since I shopped for clothes that are not from the thrift store. Haha! The Gaisano Malls around Iloilo and Antique have a huge discounts on most of their products recently; I have been into 3 Gaisano Malls lately. I have also done shopping from DAISO and a pop shop. My parents and relatives have also given me some stuff fitted for my Summer-themed haul. I have to remind that this post will be a long one, so grab your snacks and read. :)

          Then, I saw this cute shirt from the same mall branch. I just love how the color of the fabric is so bright and vibrant; so summery and loud! This is surprisingly thick and soft to feel at the same time. It doesn't have tag on it so I don't know what brand is this. I definitely sure that it's one of those clothing items that are sold on RTW stores of pop shops. I got this for Php 99 only. 😊

          As I have said earlier, I was planning to got back for the midnight sale. Together with my mama and aunt, we went back to the mall. It was so hot; the management has turned off the aircon to save resources. I thought that was kind of annoying considering that they had a sale going on. Anyways, I was searching around if I could find some nice discounts. All they had was 10-20% discount for women's clothes. It was really disappointing. 😐 I've searced a lot of racks and I couldn't find anything nice that I would pay for. Then, I found this cute royal blue top with cutouts on the sleeves. It has a v-cut low neck and back line, and seems to be baggy because it's the size XL. This was their last piece, and so I have to get it. Haha! This was originally sold for Php 219, down to Php 179. Thanks to the 20% discount! 😀 This is the only thing I got because my family was hurrying to go home because it was almost 12 midnight. Haha!

           I was in search for a nice container to put my clean and unused makeup sponges. I checked Daiso if they have something cute and convetient containers, bottles or boxes. The sale section was seemed a nice place to check on because I found this glass container. It was on sale for only Php 44, from Php 88. As indicated in the label, it's not airtight which doesn't bother me at all. As long as it keeps my sponges clean, we don't have a problem.

          The last thing I picked from Daiso is this baby pink Tin Can that was on their gardening section. Haha! I fell in love with this the first time I saw it. I love that crown-like detailing on the top part; it looks so unsual for a gardenig item. I thought that this would be perfect for displaying my makeup brushes so I bought it right away. My cousin bought one too, just in white. 

          About three weeks ago, my officemate and I have done some shopoing at Plazuela. I was amazed that they have actually pop shops at the back; well, I never go there and that's why I was not aware. Haha! My officemate was actually looking for a high-waist pants and I accompanied her around. We have stumbled upon this store selling overruns and old stocks. They have this rack where evething was on sale for Php 100. My friend convinced me to buy because she said that this will suit my skin tone. I was actually afraid that this won't fit me well because of my structure. Obviously, I'm really conscious with my frame and the clothes i wear. Haha! Anyways, I still bought this because I need summer clothes. I like this a lot! There's a picture me wearing this on Instagram. Check my sidebar. 😄

          Just last Thursday, my officemate and I went to Plazuela again. I wanted to back to the store to buy there again. I was disappointed that they were closed when we got there. 20 minutes later, I saw that they have opened tha store. I guess this was a lucky day. I browsed the store and hoped to find something nice. Then, I saw this Forever 21 bodycon sleeveless stripe dress. It has still the $15.50 price tag on it. I though this was such a nice deal, considering that i only have to pay Php 180 for the dress. Yes! Another bargain! 

          My uncle also went home recently from Ohio. He lives there together with his family. He went to us, had a little chit-chat, and handed a paper bag of Victoria's Secret to us. It contained VS lotions and bath products and Wet N' Wild Lipsticks. My mama gave me the lispticks because she doesn't wear the shades, which I have swatched above, because she only wear red shades. I also picked up the body scrub because I didn't want the lotions. I'm not a lotion person, and I have bougth lotions from the Nivea Sale. I don't want to have a lot of lotions. Haha!

           Those are the products I have recently haul during this Summer season. I hope you enjoyed this post as I have enjoyed taking pictures of them. What products did you get for Summer? Please let us know by leaving a comment down below. If you have any requests, suggestions and violent reactions, don't hesitate to tell me. Haha! 

          A Happy, Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I hope you'll have a great time celebrating your special day. 👸

          Thank you so much for reading and stopping by. I'll talk to you soon. Have a nice day. Stay safe. ❤❤

     Hello, there! Welcome to my first segment of Fashion Finds, where I feature favorite items from various stores mostly at affordable prices. In this first post, I will we talking about my fashion finds accumulated from thrifting. I have written a similar post on my previous blog and readers liked it and so I decided to make another one. I hope new readers will this too. :D

        This piece has a simple structure and easy to dress up or down, it's comfortable to wear and the details are cute. The beads at the neckline look like a necklace. I use simple accessories when wearing this one.

       Next is a pair of pants I got from a thrift store somewhere in Marymart Mall. Sorry, I forgot the name of the  shop. :D It's a tattered jeans in acid wash. I got this together with another 3 items for Php 150. 

          Since it has a long slit, I've sewn it in a rugged-looking manner using a gray thread. Gladly, it went with the rips. It's from the brand Kubense. Sounds like Japanese. What do you think guys? 

     I wear this almost every time we travel through roro bus because it's surprisingly comfortable to wear even for 24 hours straight. Maybe it's with the fabric. Plus, the details are adorable. My aunts asked me where did I buy this because they said this is nice. 

       Then, I have hear a denim jacket from the brand Snidel. I bought this from Magarbo for Php 100. It's also in an acid wash just light in color. 

       The details of this item are super adorable. The sleeves has a floral accent which surrounds it and was lengthened to form a tie. A little bit kid-ish but goes well with my dresses. I was inspired by Demi Lovato to wear denim jacket over a girly dress. 

Here's a picture of me wearing the jacket with a polka dot dress. This was taken last June 24 at Ocean Adventure. Throwback Thursday! Yay! :D What can you say about the outfit? Any suggestions?

      I bought this skirt somewhere in San Jose, Antique. My cousins knows a person who sells new/used items from the US. So, her lawn looks like a thrift store. Her clothing items had different prices, depending on the condition and what brand. I spotted this stripe pink, candy-looking skirt from GAP. Isn't this the cutest? 

     It's a little big for me. But it's okay since I can tuck my shirts inside this skirt. I pair this with plain to minimum-printed shirts. Since there's a lot going on in this skirt, it's best to match it with something that doesn't contrast to the print.

     OMG! This next piece screams G-L-A-M-O-U-R. The structure, cute, fabric and just every thing with it is perfect. I love that it has a high-low cut which was placed in an unusual position. I was lucky enough to find this at Magarbo. It's unused, still has tag attached to it. It was only Php 100. I would say that is by far the best bargain I had. This skirt reminds me of Tinker Bell. 

     The color is somewhat muted but that's the advantage because it can be paired with almost anything. By the way, this is from Como. A fail model picture of the skirt. I'm sorry, it was out of focus. Do you like the skirt too?

     Finally, the last I have here is a unique dress from Izzue. This is also bought from Magarbo for Php 100. It's a glitzy navy blue dress with sparkly studs attached to it. I don't know, but I think this dress seems to be Korean in style. 

     The best part of the dress? The bottom! It has lace and looks like a tutu. I've worn this last Christmas and people at the mall were staring at the dress constantly. I paired it with a doll shoes and curly bob. Looked so cute! Would you wear something like this? 

     Did you like this post? Tell me by leaving a comment below. I really enjoyed taking pictures of these clothes and blogging about them. Please if you have any request/s, don't hesitate to tell me. I will do my best to do them. I've got to go now. Talk to you on my next post. Have a nice day! XOXO
