Delightful Illusions

        Happy December 1st! Wow, time flies by really fast. In a few weeks it will already be 2015. A new chapter of our lives will be opened. Isn't that thrilling and exciting? Anyways, today I will be sharing with you my first shopping experience at ZALORA and the stuff that I got. What is ZALORA? In my own point of view, it is an online shop selling fashion, beauty, home stuff from various manufacturers in Asia and some other parts of the world. Their brands range from local sellers to international companies.  They also have this section called "MARKETPLACE" where independents can sell their items; like high end clothing pieces, pre-owned stuff and the like. ZALORA is actually really generous with discounts, they'll email you, if you are subscribed, with their special codes and flash sales.

        Currently, they are having pre-holiday sale of 80% at most. I received a mail from them, they have given me a 20% discount code to use on my purchase. I never bought from them before until now. Haha! They also give Php 250 off upon subscribing, but I think your total purchase should be at least Php 1500. Anyways, I got felt that I should utilize the coupon code they gave me in order not to regret it at the end.  I needed clothes that I could use at the office and school so I grabbed sale opportunity. 

       I clicked the 80% Sale link and it brought me in to the section called OUTLET. It is basically a collection of goods from manufacturing companies who distribute excessive items and sell them for a lesser price. Then, ZALORA gave additional discounts so most of the items I got were half off the original price or even more. 

CHEALSEA Abril Short Sleeve Blouse

      The first thing that I got is a chiffon button-down collared blouse from the brand CHELSEA.  In the website, it looked a little bit on the violet side but in person it's gray. I'm not really sure with the pattern, but I think it's somewhat tribal. The fabric is soft and a little bit sheer. The sleeves are wide so I wore a bandeau underneath because I didn't want anybody to see my bra. That would be shameful. Haha! This was originally Php 959.99 down to Php 288.00. That's a saving of Php 671.99! This is already sold out and I couldn't find the link anymore. I'm sorry!

Spring Fling Julia Peep Toe Wedges

      Then I got a pair of peeptoe wedges from the brand called Spring Fling. Actually, it was really hard to decide on what pair of shoes I wanted to buy since crazy sale was undeniably tempting. It's like most of the items in the site were shouting me saying: "Buy me!". I particularly chose this pair because of the feminine feel of the lace fabric with screen innings and espadrille heels. It has that native feel but looks classy and somewhat alluring. This is something that I could wear on work, school, daytime appointments and even soirees. This was originally Php 949 slashed down to Php 380. That's 60% savings!

F.101 Stesha Skirt

         I also hauled this aqua blue banded elastic skirt from F.101 which had ai Php 100 off. It was originally Php 399 down to Php 299. Isn't it amazing? :D The main reason why purchased this is because of the contrast mesh design near the hemline. It adds sophistication to the simple circles skirt which I can in various occasions like weddings, seminars, parties, and even casual pairings. I provided a link directing to this item, just click the caption of the photo. Hurry up, it's the last piece. ;)

IMONO JEWELRY Stainless Steel Earrings

       This paricular line of jewelry, IMONO JEWELRY, has impressed me with the quality of their products. I'm really with my purchase and I really liked what I picked up. This pair was priced from Php 175.57 to Php 149.75. Then, I used when my 20% coupon with this one because this was the only I have on my shopping bag has a regular price. So, I only paid Php129. 75 for this.
