I love their statement necklaces and cute hats! Will definitely check out SM Department store for the pink one!^_^

Nowadays the weather is very unpredictable and it bothers me quite a bit, because choosing an outfit is difficult when you don't know if it's going to be sunny or rainy. But often times I can stand wearing a dress or shorts even if it's raining as long as I don't get my shoes wet, because as we all know some shoes are not rain proof. But I bet aside from me, a lot of you already experienced that kind of situation.

Fortunately, for our bipolar weather, there are stylish and affordable slippers now, like Banana Peel to keep up with our fashionista lifestyle!

I know you don't see me often in flip flops when I do my outfit of the day, but when we had our family day last week, the weather was sunny in the morning, then became gloomy during the night, so I thought it would be the perfect time to strut my trendy slippers. Rain or shine, I'm prepared! Plus, I love how the MOD collection of Banana Peel for women really matches my top and adds a little nautical feel to it. :)

They have a wide selection of quirky designs to choose from... For the women, prices go for as low as Php 120 to Php 480 :)

If I try to be prepared for the weather when we go out, I also make sure that Athan is ready. I'm quite particular with his stuff and what he wears, because I don't want him to feel any discomfort, so when we get him shoes, we always pick the light ones and that's another thing we love about Banana Peel. Their flip flops have not only cute prints and colors, they are also light, so it's suitable for long walks. :)

I've been wanting to have foot sprays for the longest time, but didn't really know where to begin searching. Luckily, I didn't have to look very far, because Banana Peel also provides them now and hygiene wise, I like keeping these two foot sprays in my bag to keep our feet fresh and relaxed wherever we go. :)

Personally, Banana Peel has been a favorite of mine since my high school days, when I was still playing tennis. I remember using their signature square toe, back then for almost 3 years and now that I'm in college and with a family, they still have a special place in my heart. So, thank you again to, Banana Peel for the goodies and for being reliable all throughout these years!

Hope you all had a great Sunday too!

Yesterday I was invited to attend one of Freeway's National Artist Collectors Series event at The Row, Glorietta 5. I believe they already paid tribute to four National Artists before, but what makes this collaboration with Artist for Literature, Mr. F. Sionil Jose different is that, he is actually the first living artist to be featured. Just knowing that alone, made me feel honored to be there and be able to hear what he has to say and having the chance to view his entire collection for the first time. :)

I love how Freeway is not only known for just selling clothes now, but they are also known for giving fashion a deeper meaning and because of their tribute to National Artists through trendy silhouettes, woven tops, dresses and accessories, I am a much bigger fan of Freeway. :)

I was a bit late for the event and missed the readings/excerpts from Sionil Jose's works by Lourd De Veyra and Ms. Cherie Gil, but fortunately I was able to catch the interview of Mr. F. Sionil Jose with host, Prima Ballerina and Ballet Manila's Artistic Director, Lisa Macuja-Elizalde. The interview was really funny and I find it cute that Mr. Sionil Jose is so in love with his wife. :)

After the program, Melai and I were lucky enough to have a short talk and picture with the man of the hour. I felt really flattered when he actually asked me this: "Did you get the Young Writer book? I signed it." I wasn't able to peek at my press kit yet when he asked me, so I was speechless and extremely shy, so I just uttered, "Not yet po..=)" haha! rewind please!

They also prepared yummy food for everyone. I personally loved the chicken shawarma!:)

Attending this event also meant seeing a few of my blog friends, like Melai, Pax, Alex and Reg. :) Also saw Earth, but too bad we forgot to take pictures. :( Next time!

Here's a view of the collection...

I want the skirts and dresses so much! 

This is what we all took home with us. I think it's my first time to get a book and personally, I'm touched how he took time to sign them all personally. :) Will definitely read this!

The event was intimate and I usually enjoy those kinds of events, so thank you again to Ms. Mira and Freeway for having me at your event!:)

The collection is now available in stores today, so do check them out!:)
