Bloggers United Bazaar Five #BU5 & the Fashion Blogger

I am so honored to be a part of this organized by blogger bazaar activity that does not only bring together fashion and beauty bloggers and their loyal readers but also come together for a cause.

Now on our fifth season, Bloggers United Bazaar Five a.k.a. #BU5 is here again and it’s bigger and so much better!

I and about 60 or more of Manila’s top fashion and beauty bloggers open our closets again in this humongous bazaar this June 1, 2013 from 10am to 8pm at our best venue yet, the SMX Convention Center (Function Room 3)!    Bloggers United also partnered with the  The Great Luxe Sale of Mall of Asia and SMX, which is happening from May 31 to June 2 at the SMX Hall 1.  Our beneficiary charity for this season is Diksyunaryo Atb wherein we invite you to bring old or new books for donation.

Sarah Jessica Parker ‘Love To Shop’ Campaign for the SM Store

Just toclarify things out, Sarah Jessica Parker was in the Philippines for The SM Store and their Love To Shop campaign and not for the SM Aura Premiere. The SM Department Store we all love to shop in any SM Malls nationwide got a makeover giving birth to the new concept of the SM Store in which SJP was chosen to endorse.

In line with this  Love To Shop Campaign, Sarah Jessica Parker had a photo shoot wearing items that can be found in the SM Store and this is what you will see in all SM Stores from now on.

Sale Alert: Denim Sale @ Metro Department Store

Summertime is almost over and the rainy days will be here again soon. Almost time to say goodbye to your sunblock, swimsuit and all those fun summer nights and beach bumming. It is almost time to say hello books, school, raincoat, umbrellas , rainy days and Mondays!

I have to admit, shopping for my summer outfit for my Kota Kinabalu two last week was my first time to really explore what’s inside Metro Department Store. I never really gave them a thorough look as I was used to shop at the other malls that is close to where I live. It was a surprise to see that they have so many nice apparel in their store and the biggest surprise was their price range is low compared to the usual department store we go to. It was like the sale price of the usual mall. Believe me.

Talking about sale, Metro Department Store is having a Denim Sale!

The Elle Girls Manila at Elle Girl New EDSA Shangri-la Mall Opening

Yesterday was actually my first time to explore the bigger and better EDSA Shangri-la Mall as it’s new wing the East Wing has started to fill-up with new and amazing shops that were not previously in the original mall building. The new mall is spacious than ever with lots of elevator and bigger and modern rest rooms!

One of the great fashion finds you will see at the new wing is Elle Girl that officially opened yesterday at the 4th Level of the new EDSA Shangri-la Mall East Wing with the Elle Girls Manila which include Camille Co, Jessica Yang,Julia Sniegowski, Pam Solilapsi and Jamie Laciste (who incidentally is my niece from my 1st cousin her father!) These girls were chosen to because they embody what an Elle Girl is, self possessed, born to stand out and make her mark on the world.

Saving Money On Fashion Always Helps

We all like to save money on our clothing and fashionable accessories, and Karmaloop coupon codes are a great way to do that. I am always looking for a good deal. Finding them online is relatively easy to do. With just a little bit of research, you can find discounts on whatever you are looking to buy. Coupon codes give you direct savings as you order your merchandise. All you have to do is insert the code at the time of payment and viola’, you have saved.

If you can’t find any on one site, then you can always try others like the promo codes listed at NerdWallet. There are a ton of different categories to choose from as well. Clothing can be expensive, especially if you want the latest fashions and trends out there. You open your wallet for fall fashions, then again for spring and summer ones. That is where great savings can really come in handy.

Now lets get into the nitty gritty of shopping for clothing online. There are things to watch out for, that you really should know. Many people assume when they are online that they are shopping from within their own country. Big mistake. It’s the internet and you should really make sure you check out where the company is based out of so you can estimate the delivery time before you have paid for your merchandise. You want your purchases to come quickly in most cases, not take six weeks to arrive.

Finding out where it is from can also tell you what the quality of your merchandise may be as well. Quite frankly some places just make better stuff than others. Don’t forget that some things may say that they are a particular designer, but could very well be knock offs. You don’t want to pay two hundred dollars for a knock off bag or pair of shoes.

Buying from reputable online companies is always the best practice. Whether it is clothing or otherwise, you really want to make sure that they have a good reputation. Check out their policies on insuring what you buy. If you buy it and then it comes and is not what you ordered, or only part of an order, it can be aggravating to try and have the company fix it. I have seen people order stuff at great expense, only to get empty boxes in the mail.

Last but certainly not least, make sure that all of the information you put in for delivery is absolutely correct. If you are in a hurry, it is easy to make a mistake that can be quite costly to you. If they have the wrong address, due to your mistake, many times they will not fix the problem. Sometimes it is a good idea to purchase extra shipping insurance just in case. Really good companies will offer this through shipping companies like UPS, Fed Ex and such. It is easy to do at the time of purchase and is always worth the little bit extra that it costs.

Shopping online can be a lot of fun and finding good deals is really great as well, but being careful is always a must.  So have a great time and search for those coupons that can save you lots of money.  Remember the old saying; A penny saved is a penny earned!

How about you, what are your fashion saving tips?

Stay gorgeous everyone!
