Fall Season Purchases (sort of)

Hello once again! I see that my page count is going up, when I haven't even publicized my blog, so whoever is reading, welcome!  This post is totally light-hearted compared to my previous post, because when I arrived home from the Philippines, I had quite a few packages waiting for me, since I decided to treat myself to some new goodies for the Fall season.. Even though the weather here in the bay area has been very summery. So here are my purchases from GoJane, Free People, Topshop, and from other places.

Free People dress : $50. (Birthday Dress!!!) Here

I've been eyeing this one for a long time.  The original price was 168 dollars, and I got it for $50! Unfortunately, it looks like they have run out of sizes, because this is such a great deal. It appears that they only have dresses in Large left, but it is so loosely fit, that I feel it is workable. I purchased mine in a medium.

Free People Flatform Sandals: $30 Here

I love shoes that give height, but not too much, because it is unrealistic for me to be 5'5. This helps me accomplish my goal without killing my feet! Look at that deal too.  I was browsing their sale shoe section, and they have a lot of cute sandals/shoes that are great deals.. I may look again for more!

Giants World Series Shirt: $25 Here

I got the men's size because I hate how form-fitting women's t-shirts are.. I can cut this up and make it my own, as I love to do with oversized tshirts, so obviously, this was obligatory. Love them Giants.

GoJane Combat boots: $35 (No longer on site, but I found a similar more $$ on Lulu's Here)

These are a little more of a statement, but I love the yarn and the multiple colors, I feel that I can layer well with these booties, with neutrals. 

GoJane (Aubrey 3+1) Lace trim woven shorts: $30 Here

I have been looking for some cute new shorts that are lace trimmed but not too much lace, and I saw these on the site and just fell in love.  I know that it is almost winter, but honestly the weather here has been accommodating to shorts. !! So excited and they are an elastic waist band!

Dolce Vita Booties from TJMaxx : $60 No link

Unfortunately, since I bought these in store, and at TJMaxx, I can't link them, but there are many dupes for these kinds of booties.  This is in a great camel color, with a 1 1/2 inch heel, so I'm not dying. It's a little more pricey that what I would usually spend for shoes, but I am so happy with this purchase!!

REBBL Tea shirt, gift from my boyfriend! Thank you! Info on REBBL Tea at Not for sale

My boyfriend went to this conference this past weekend about human trafficking.  This is a worldwide issue that I think is one of the most horrible things that can happen to an individual.  Since I am Filipino, it is hard to hear the statistics coming from the Philippines. I feel horrible for the women and children that have to endure this physical and mental abuse. I will blog more about this issue later, but I am so happy with this shirt! AND REBBL tea is so delicious. (Jeremy Affeldt, Giants Relief Pitcher is one of the founders :))

Scalloped Tank from Topshop Manila : Gift from Tita Lydia.

After my aunt's funeral, my family and I went out to just distract ourselves from the events of the past week. My aunt took me shopping for an early birthday present at topshop, and I got three items! This is approx. $25, but I am not a good converter from Philippine Pesos to U.S. Dollar. Love this little staple.

Purple heathered mini skirt from Topshop Manila: Gift from Tita Lydia.

I wish I was able to photograph this better, but I don't have any pants hangers at my apartment right now. But I love the color of this, and I think it will be great layering for the fall!

Acid Wash Jeggings from Topshop Manila: Gift from Tita Lydia

Love these! I love leggings, and I know.. Jeggings are kinda frowned upon, but I love the look of these leggings with a dark large sweater, and maybe those yarn boots I just purchased. These are just easy and comfy, and the color is divine!

Blue Flats from Bayo: P780

My feet were smelling bad because of my only pair of sandals I brought to the Philippines. My cousins and I were going out to the bars that night, and I just felt horrible about my feet because of the stench, so we searched for some flats, and I found these blue babies! I love the royal blue color, and I realized I don't have any shoes of this color in my closet. I think this cost around $16 U.S dollars, but I am uncertain. Bayo is a really cute store, but we were in a time crunch, so I couldn't find more items.

Maroon Maxi Skirt: Naya P690

I just love maxi skirts, and since I was in the Philippines, the Maxi skirts they offered there catered more to shorter individuals like myself! This is a great thick material too! I just recently bought a maxi from Brandy Melville, and it was so sheer, I don't think I will be using it again. 

I will have another post about the skirts that I am having made for me when my mom returns, because she is still in the Philippines. Otherwise, those are my fall purchases for 2012! Hopefully I will have an Outfit of the Day posted soon, and maybe potentially a video showcasing these items, because you can't really get a good view of them because 1. iPhone Pic/Instagram. 2. The limited view that I have given. Yay for my first Purchase Post! I hope you enjoyed.

Bye for now!
