Santa came early in the form of my boyfriend's Mom

3g's worth of GC

A few weeks ago, Diego's mom gave me SSI gift certificates worth Php3000. I was ecstatic and thankful for it. She gave me the GC's s because she said they rarely have the time to go to the mall, and the tickets were only valid until Dec. 17, 2010. She didn't want it to go to waste. I was more than happy to take the "burden" out of her hands. I had an early Christmas gift! I went through all SSI's brand indexes in mind. Now, if only i can figure out what to get. :)

Initially, i wanted to get the Tory Burch jelly ballet flats in black. I called the store, found out that only white is available. So had my size(8) reserved. I went the next day,  i went to the store and tried on the shoes. Much to my surprise, the size 8 was too big on me. I was always a size 8. It was just weird that i'm a size smaller in Tory Burch. I felt a bit of pressure because of the time constraint. Must.Get.Something.Before.The.17th!

Gap Wide Leg Jeans and Gap Skinny Jeans

I had to come up with a plan B... MAC Cosmetics? Lush products? Kate Spade bag? I really didn't want to shell out extra cash because i really don't have anything to shell out. So i had to play within the budget. I checked out Gap's online store, and saw a cute pair of wide leg jeans. They were to die for. I asked my friend/stylist Via, for her opinion. With a little prep talk from her, i was more convinced to get the pair. 

I went to the store this afternoon and asked if they had the wide leg jeans that i wanted. But NOOOOooo, they didn't have it yet. Was i about to run out of luck? I wasn't gonna leave the mall without getting anything. I was more than determined to get something just for the sake of getting it over with. Just when i was about to lose hope, i saw a lovely pair of skinnies from Gap. I tried on a few for size, and was torn between 25/r and 26/2r. I ended up getting 26/2r. I'm happy! Thanks to Diego's mom (Tita Marie)! Have a very Merry Christmas guys!
