SHOE SPOTTING | Christian Siriano For Payless

Well if you have been a fan of Project Runway, an American reality TV show, you must have met its fourth season winner, Christian Siriano.

I've been a fan of the show for sometime and enjoyed watching these young designers break their brains and hands to achieve such wonderful clothing piece(s). And you should know by now I like to shop for shoes at Payless. For some related posts, click here!

So I've been seeing these beautifully crafted shoes by designer Christian Siriano every time I am at Payless stores and so with a little sister support from my friend Ros, I purchased my very first Christian Siriano! Weeee! A designer footwear number without breaking my *waley (read: wallet)

And to top it all, I've been looking for a yellow or mustard looking footwear and thought this one's the bomb!

My very first Christian Siriano (Php 1,250.00)

RESTAURANT SPOTTING | Benny's @ Glorietta Makati

Oh- it's one of those days that you start craving for something and yet the first place which crossed your mind is still closed (too early, dear!).

And while killing time, you found a perfect place to unwind your little me- time. And so I found my way to this little, unassuming, quiet place in the side of Glorietta (where Rustan's supermarket is located). And oh, by the way, it's called BENNY'S.

Benny's @ Glorietta and my orange bag.

I was dying to have some pancakes (I know, of all the beautiful things in this world!).

Weee, weee and weee! Pancakes!

And of course, I'd like to kick some ass, thus the coffee experience!

Thank you Benny's! You made my little me-time an ass-kicking experience!

Love,

Miss J

SHOE SPOTTING | Theredlippie Meets Payless Red Pumps

Pumps by Prediction
Payless, Glorietta

Question: How did a type of shoe come to be called a “pump”?

Answer: Legend says it's called ‘pump’ because in the early days of motor cars, all the gas station attendants were female since men were being considered unsuitable for the job because they smoked cigars. These female pump attendants supposedly all had to wear special shoes called ‘pumps’ that were designed not to slip on oily pavement.

REVISITED | THE JAPAN IN JIPAN EXPERIENCE

Don't you just love anything Japanese on earth? Because I do. I love those girls from Shibuya (click here). There is something so colorful and vibrant which makes me happy just seeing them. And the Japanese fashion is one thing I really fancy and I wished I can rock it one day!

One morning after work, JRNunez and yours truly decided it's time for some noodle experience. I was craving for Kowloon siopao (aka steamed buns) but he said he was just too lazy to be at Park Square so we settled for this small yet homey nook in Glorietta 4.

Jipan
2nd Level, Glorietta 4

The result?!?!?

I used to buy yummy pandesals here long time ago but I don't think I ever tried to sit and have a meal here. It is a small Japanese place with a twist I guess. See the pasta menu in the above pic?

We saw some Japanese older ladies actually checking these pastries. They looked so pretty even that I wonder what these Jap ladies are made of hehe. Must be the genes I guess.

Overall, the noodle soup made me Php 200 poorer and I wasn't happy, hehehe. I wanted some siopao and I was too unhappy I didn't get what I wanted. But obviously JRNunez enjoyed the meal.

I would love to come back and try something else in the menu. In the meantime, I need some siopao! I shall get it first thing tomorrow!
