Back to Basics.

Quality family time continues today as we spent the day at SM Megamall :) We were supposed to watch a movie after a very hearty late lunch at Yabu but the loooooong lines put us off.

While my siblings and cousins went to Toy Kingdom, I decided to do a little window-shopping myself and use my gift cards. I liked a sheer top in Oxygen but since I don't have any special event to wear it to anytime soon I chose to just let it go and instead be more "practical". I ended up at Penshoppe and got these:

3/4-sleeved polo and belt

For some reason I've always felt collared shirts don't really suit me so I refrain from buying them as much as possible. But, when I saw this particular top, I knew I just HAD to try it on! I loved it, perfect for the office :) As for the belt, someone borrowed my similarly-colored one and never returned it so I just got a new one :D

Before going home, my sister and I made a quick detour to my Papa's childhood house in Malabon (where we had the reunion yesterday) to check out the Grendha slippers my cousin's wife is selling. Here's what I got:

Beige - pink sandals. So pretty and so comfy.

It's originally sold in malls for P1,595 but I got it for only P1,200. It's authentic; it's just cheaper because it originally came from Brazil where Ella's mom is based. There were more designs to choose from but my wallet could only accommodate one pair!

I realized while putting them out of the bags that they were all in neutral hues ♥ Basic pieces perfect for the coming year. So excited for 2012! (",)

Peace, love and lipgloss! ♥
