Payless Manila is a Bit Shoeless

I hurried to the Payless flagship store at Festival Mall, Alabang just before closing time.  I was looking for silver heels to match my teal jumpsuit for a wedding.  I know a jumpsuit may not exactly be appropriate for a wedding but I styled it a bit to fit the occasion.  So the heels were critical.  To my dismay, Payless didn't have much choices for formal wear.  Most of the styles were for casual wear- flats, sneakers, etc.  Plus the styles available in my size were so few.  I remember seeing more choices back in the US.  Oh well, too much hype and PR.

People are People to the rescue.  They were on sale and had the silver bejewelled heels I was looking for.  I bought them for a steal for P600.  The store was on sale. Goody!  These shoes will definitely be a keeper.

Manila Shoe Lovers- Say Hello to Payless

As if Forever 21 wasn't enough, Manila will be home to another well known US brand, Payless.  This is indeed a joyous moment.  Maybe not for the local shoe manufacturers because they have to deal with more competition.  But consumers are clearly the winners here.  The world is indeed getting "smaller" and  there are more choices for every price point you have in mind.

Forever 21 Invades Manila!

It's high time! Welcome to Manila.  For those who have shopped at Forever 21 abroad, you know how happy this makes us, right?  Took a sneak peak at Forever 21 last Thursday.  I only had 15 minutes to spare before meeting up with my friends.  We were all going to a wake.  I had to put some pizzaz to my outfit which I bought at Argylle Center in Hongkong.  So this is what I was able to buy for P800+

So happy that they're here.  My heart would skip a beat when I would visit their stores in Singapore and Jakarta.  Plus it's always a pain to convert when you shop abroad.  But since they're only at Megamall A for now, I am so sure that I'll be frequenting Megamall from now on.  Well, unless they put up a shop down south.  I guess that's too much wishfull thinking for now.
