After its grand opening last June 15, it’s only now that I was able to visit and shop at Uniqlo. The lines during the first few days were phenomenal, I heard. Earlier, there were also plenty of people shopping but no lines to get in. But I have to fall in line for a few minutes in the fitting room.
It’s one of those rare times that I get to win in a contest. That’s why I’m ecstatic if I was drawn as a winner, doesn’t matter if the prize is big or small. I joined Uniqlo’s Vote and Win contest via their Facebook app just because I’d like to see the UT designs particularly the Hello Kitty and Lulu Guinness shirts.
There’s a jungle found in Bonifacio High Street last May 8, 2012. A different kind of jungle because it’s an Ipanema Urban Jungle Fashion Show where fashion animals strut their style wearing the latest collection from Ipanema.
I always pass by at Fino whenever I’m at Trinoma. But I don’t enter the store because the storefront is quite intimidating (read: mukhang mamahalin) and I don’t have plans to buy for a leather wallet or bag. But when Jeff asked where we can buy a card holder that’s slim to carry all of his IDs and credit cards, I suggested that we look around at SM but he found nothing that suits his discriminating taste (yup, my husband is harder to please than me) I suddenly remembered Fino because of The Diplomatic Wife’s post. So we trooped to Trinoma and finally set foot inside Fino for the first time, the smell of leather greeted us.
We asked for their card holders and Jeff zeroed in on this:
Black Fino card holder, Php 495
What do you consider in buying clothes aside from the style? For me, it’s the fit. It may be a trendy style in my favorite color but if it doesn’t fit, then I’ll just find something else. That’s for the tops, but for the bottoms such as jeans and slacks, I rely on Alterations Plus to get my perfect fit.
