UKAY LOVE

Cheap thrills are cathartic and stress-alleviating. We all have one, but mine in particular happens to be thrift-shopping or the ukay. Nothing gets better than a totally chic find at a price that spares your wallet from breaking down and crying. Unfortunately I've been doing a lot more things than I can actually chew, so I haven't been able to get down and dirty with my favorite stressbuster for quite sometime.
So imagine just how happy I was when I finally had the time to respond to the thrift-hunting invite from good friends and fellow Cebu fashion bloggers Gizelle and Phil to super hit the haunts downtown. Several hours and several juicy stories later, we somehow snagged some of the best finds we've seen in awhile. I got a hold of this leather jacket (which I plan to nuke), and Yapi also scored this lovely vintage dress which desperately wanted me to jump over the fence and go girly. Sweet find!
Phil also took me to a downtown nook where I found these incredibad rings that matched my Burberry nail art. Yay! I'm looking forward to our next trip together. Wonder if I can finally dig up a nice shearling jacket or a camel wrap?
