I’m supposed to be on a shopping fast but I ended up in SM North Edsa with my sister this morning, where the department stores are abundant with clothes and shoes and bags and accessories so cheap, I almost cried. So the shopping fast ended and I came home with a bag of clothes and an empty wallet. So much for saving up for “Autumn in Japan”.
But I had to pat myself on the back for not losing all control and buying everything in sight. Needless to say, I only bought the things I needed… (or at least I think I need). But I left behind a lot of things I still want to purchase and that’s what’s today’s top 10 is for. So, I like pretty things. I can’t help it.
1. Summer Dress – it’s been so hot these days I’d kill for some chiffon, cotton, jersey dresses that fleet and float with the wind. Something light and airy and will not stick to my ass.

2. Functional Tote Bag - i’ve been looking for the perfect tote bag these days. Leather, preferably, so it’s a bit more on the dressy side rather than on the shopping bag side. Longchamps are so passé. And the good ones are all expensive. So imagine my delight when I the perfect one in SM (too bad I didn’t get to take a picture). But I’m still 800php poor so I wasn’t able to buy it :( In the meantime, here are some pegs.
3. Long Drapey Skirts – maxi skirts are comfortable. I have one. In black. But black isn’t really the best color to wear when the sun is high and you’re roasting like a pig. At least roast in style, right? So bring them in yellow, peach, mint green, blue – even better when they come with pockets!
4. Scalloped/Printed Shorts – because denim shorts are too heavy and hot to wear. Of course there are pekpek shorts, but why would I want to display my poonanie for the world to see?
5. Kimono Cover Ups – for the days when all I want to wear is a tank top but my man arms are to embarrassing too diplay, a cover up that’s light and breezy will do the trick.
6. Moccasins – my sister bought me Minnetonka Moccasins for Christmas but she bought them a size too big so I haven’t gotten around to wearing them. Plus in grey. I would really want them in brown (and in my size too).
7. Butter London Nail Polish in Artful Dodger – just because teal is more summery than puta red and black.
8. Lip Balm/Stain – my lips are dry and they’ve become dark from the chapping and the chewing (yes I chew my own lips when I’m bored) so I think I need to do them a little bit of favor, yeah?
9. Anti-aging shit – because this heat (and the stress) is giving me wrinkles and drying my skin like crazy. I’ve been guzzling water like a fish, and lathering on the lotion and the moisturizers but they don’t seem to be enough. Actually I think it’s because of the alcohol but I can’t quit that, can I?
10. Body Mist – not too sweet nor flowery. just the right kind of “just got out of the shower” smell.
And there you have it. My top 10 must have things (as of April 23, 2012) that I can’t afford to purchase. Anybody want to sponsor me?
Note to self. Must install Photoshop again so I can make proper collages. This list thing and just inserting images here and there is such an eye sore. And my oc-heart can’t take it anymore.
