Sunnies by Charlie Opens in Davao City

The most fashionable eyewear in the Philippines finally reached the Davao City scene and opened its first branch at the Chimes Specialty Store.

The lifestyle brand based in Manila was founded in 2013 by friends Eric Dee, Jr., Bea Soriano, Georgina Wilson and Martine Cajucom. Contrary to most perception that the line will be selling expensive eyewear, Sunnies by Charlie is surprisingly affordable but of quality and style.

Its opening at Davao City was a highlighted by the presence of the founders themselves. A VIP launch was also made for the selected guests, bloggers and media partners. The celebrity owners mingled and had some photo ops with fans and customers. 

Thanks to Algene Cutamora, Julie Tolentino and Natalie Jill Lim for the photos!

Forever Young, Forever 21

And the door opened to a fresh scent of air in Davao City. 

A few months back, SM Lanang Premiere, the second SM Mall in Davao City was formally opened to the public with a boom--series of parties, inaugural mass, bloggers day-out, press conferences. For many youngsters like me, the Lanang Premiere is not only a new mall but it is also the newest fashion hub as Forever21 also opened its first Mindanao branch in the Philippines. 

Imagine the relief of not having to go to Manila or Cebu just to visit a branch to buy one blazer or jacket or that blouse you can't even find in bazaars. Forever21 is indeed forever being young. The line is filled with smart casual to casual attire that will suite any of your mood without looking old, grumpy to trying-too-hard. Its always fun and hip (even their formals section). And to be honest, my Forever21 apparels are my most used clothes not because I love to boast the brand, but its the most versatile set I have. I can mix and match it with my other clothes for any occasion.

During the inaugural day of the SM Lanang Premiere, I was lucky that my friend Chamee (thanks very much!) handed me her invite for the event (since her work wouldn't permit her to arrive on time). The event was graced with all the fashion-elites of Davao (most I don't see on ordinary occasions) and some even from Manila. Together with some of my acquaintances, we shutter-happy-ed our night away and enjoyed the fashion show and cocktail event. 


You don't have to worry about finding F21's location in Lanang Premier. Its the first store you will see in the facade of the mall. So, enough blah-blah and let me take you back to the wonderful evening of F21's opening.
Familiar faces: Ms. Cathy, Tash and Sir Neljone Astudillo 
Bloggers and fashionista's. Old and young.
And the magic starts in 5...4...3...2.. 










  
  










The entire collection is all that I expected-chic (even the kids!) and sassy. As for me, this is the outfit I wore during the party and running around SM Lanang that day *pats self at the back* (lol). See you shopping in F21 in SM Lanang!

Abreeza + XOXO: A Pre-Christmas Date

 
Sequined Top and Bag: XOXO

 People have been so modest to put out their Christmas shopping mood not to get that comment that they are too excited for the season. Well, now that the Halloween is done, I think its very safe now to put out your coinbanks and wishlist. It's that most wonderful time of the year once again!

And no shopping destination could ever be more happy to let you have a headstart to fill out that checklists for your friends and loved ones (and maybe your personal wishlist, too) other than the Abreeza Mall. Luckily, I was invited together with about a dozen from the Davao Bloggers to shop and take a sneak peek on stores and shops who will be joining the Pre-Christmas Sale!

Hugs and Kisses!

I was already drooling like a baby when I learned that I will be visitng XOXO! And if you haven't heard of the brand or the store, then you were probably inside a cave for a couple of years or so. XOXO is one of the most feminine store you can find in Abreeza. Think pink, animal prints, splash of colors and sequins! 





What I like best about XOXO are their bags and cocktail dresses! I like how their items fit and it's one of those stores with the latest design that will make you really stand out in the crowd (in a very good way). And right now, you don't need to wait for days because XOXO has already started with their Pre-Christmas Sale and get items while pay only half of the original price!


Logo in beads! :)
Bags, purses and wallets. Find them in matching design and color!
Now on sale!
The friendly and pretty ladies who are part of the XOXO staff!
 
Mine! :) I am so happy that I get to shop in XOXO! Look at the details in that bag and top!

Thank you Abreeza Mall and thank you XOXO!

You can visit XOXO in the 2nd floor of Abreeza Mall and don't forget to set your calendars for the Abreeza Mall's Whirlwind Pre-Christmas Sale on November 12th to the 18th.

You can check out their Facebook accounts with links here: Abreeza Mall and XOXO. You may also visit XOXO's website and see more of their fabulous collection.
