Tadaaaaaa (as if the signs in Ayala are hard to miss hehe)!!

After quite an arduous wait, Topman is finally coming to Cebuano shores, very much to the glee of stylish boys all over the island. I personally find Topman more relatable sometimes, to be honest-- I love their easy tees, urban/edgy accessories and headpieces. As much of a fan as I am of Topshop, I cannot friggin wait for the stylish brother to get here! The store space is being revamped and is expected to resume its operations come October.

I didn't think that this blog was ever going to be one of those that posts about topics like "here's what I thought of this lipstick" or "unboxing x face product"-- I mean don't get me wrong, I do read my friend's makeup blogs and reviews with a passion, but I just don't think that I'm personally that knowledgeable or authoritative when it comes to reviewing beauty products. I may not have blogged about beauty in the past, but thing is, I'm very much a junkie to all things make-up, skincare, hair products, and everything in between. So yeah... I think I'll give my two cents worth whenever I can, so yay, more Eden-ish beauty posts in the future!:)

To start with, I'll talk about something super popular these days: subscription boxes. I've been voraciously craving/hoping to try out a subscription box for many months now after stalking my friend Toni's posts (she has a monthly subscription to these things), and finally, after a lot of thinking over if this sh*t is really all its hyped up to be, I signed on for the July 2013 BDJ Box. 

I'm glad that my box arrived in good shape and had pleasant surprises here and there. July was also particularly chocked full of stuff so yay, plus points in my book. Here's the items I received from this box:

I know we're past spring-summer (quick insert: I know it's rainy season and all, but the flooding has to stop. dear government por favor do something asap!) and all, but I'm still totally loving this Tonic transparent clutch which I acquired a couple of months ago. Cute, right? It's pretty simple yet it somehow sticks with you.
