EARLY MORNING SHOPPING

It's official, Forever 21 is the only retail store that can get me out of bed way earlier than I normally intend to (see Forever21 holiday sale entry). I thought I was already early back then, being there as the mall opened, but last Friday, I got the chance to hit the sale even before the mall opened. ;) Sleep is something I find hard saying no to but the opportunity to browse the low-priced racks of Forever 21 before it gets crowded is even harder to refuse. It was all worth it though coz there were zero lines and the maneuvering through the store was easy like pie... until the mall opened. I'm really glad I got a headstart so thanks so much Forever 21 and Aisa. :) I still had to line up though coz when I was about to leave with my yellow plastic bag, a fresh rack was brought in and there was a piece that caught my eye and just had to try! Long story short, I had to line up for the fitting room (and cashier!) with a pair of pants while the others had bags and bags. Thanks so much to the twins who, upon seeing my lone hanger, let me go ahead of them! <3

Here are some photos and some of my store picks:

with early shopper and Forever 21 ambassador Danah Gutierrez

In case you're wondering where else you've seen her, she's also 1/2 of The Plump Pinay :)

bumped into Inna Santiago of The Little Big Spender

and Rafael Ayuyao of Barefoot Prince Charming

Let's now move on to my Forever 21 picks:

My Pick: I love the Lady Gaga-ish appeal of these shades! They're not that over the top too :)

My Pick: knits! I was looking for items to bring to my upcoming stay in Europe

My Pick: animal + metallic + bodycon. What else can you ever need in a party dress?!

My Pick: I like that this dress had just the right amount of pouf. it also pairs well with this sequined plum skirt

My Pick: I looove the relaxed vibe of this top, it's also pretty easy breezy too. The skirt on the other hand is this beautiful shade of red and although it's short, the fabric is pretty thick (another Europe2011 justification, haha)

My Pick: I'm just really attracted to this shade. It's like a burnt coral but not exactly rust. So pretty :)

My Picks: another shade I'm attracted to: navy. This dress is one of the first things I grabbed and right then I knew I was gonna bring it home. :)

the mall had already opened when I got out of the fitting room and I was greeted by this. I was relieved I had my selection in hand and was just going to pay. My relief was cut short when I was about to leave the premises and saw this chocolate brown corduroy trousers that I had to backtrack and line up all over again. :S

it was all worth it though, these trousers are definitely my favorite find that day and I can not wait to wear it!!! :) 

A productive morning, yes? :)
