First & Forever!

by - September 26, 2014

When Forever 21 first opened here in Manila, I remember Megamall's 2nd level was filled with so much people that you don't know where you'll walk. It was one of the biggest fashion event that happened to Manila in 2010 and I admit that I really lined up with everyone else to be able to see what's inside the store and buy even just one item. I didn't mind! True enough, the excitement of everyone was  real and lining up was worth it. I went out with the smallest bag compared to other people with huge ones, but I was a happy girl toting around my tiny bag filled with the prettiest necklaces. You can read that HERE. :)

Now, four years has passed and I together with my blogger friends have actually been supporting the brand for that long. It's truly a pleasure seeing the brand grow and become a household name- with 9 stores spread across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao and another one fast on its way within 2014.

But like they say, change is inevitable and change, as with all things in the fashion world, was always in the offing. Now Forever 21's SM Megamall flagship store receives a sophisticated and streamlined makeover, reflecting the brand's new international look.




The reopening was hosted by none other than the sophisticated lady herself, Martine Cajucom.  There was a game for the bloggers and three pairs were chosen to style their respective partner with the Fall 2014 collection of Forever 21. The winner for this challenge was Rhea Bue and Yuki Tansengco. Congrats, girls!!^_^

We also got a glimpse of the beautiful clothes that they had with a short fashion show. 


The little girls are soooo kyot!! I wanna take them home!! haha! frustrations of a mother with two boys!>_< I love my boys!

Before going around the store, I just had to take an obligatory twin OOTD with my beb Ana! For the record, this was not planned! We were actually surprised that we came in the exact coloured outfit! But cute!^_^

Gone are the ornate Lucite chandeliers and pattered walls; in their stead, fresh white walls with splashes of black, touches of whitewashed wood and brick, and industrial-inspired shelving provide a clean and chic state underscoring the veritable fashion playground for which Forever 21 has become known. A glimpse into its newly-renovated Megamall store provides a clear overview of the brand's offerings, with neon signs demarcating each collection. 




Customers can also look forward to a more varied selection of items covering a multitude of trends, from boho chic to normcore to understated elegance. With fresh takes on partnerships with Keith Ha ring, Jean Michel Basquiat, NBA, and Mattel, Forever 21 shoppers can literally wear their hearts, hobbies, and interests on their sleeve. 

I actually did a little shopping already at the reopening and there were so many nice stuff!:) I found cute accessories that I never saw before and I finally got the bag I wanted on sale! Yey!:) You better go and check them out this weekend! Based on experience, sizes of shoes are running out fast!>_<


I had such a great time yesterday! Thank you, ARC PR and Forever 21 for inviting me!:) Cheers to your successful reopening! We love you! Sincerely, your blogger friends/F21 fans!
