Look for Less: Fringed Waistcoat

I went to the newly opened Forever 21 in SM Makati and came across this cute fringed waistcoat. I was a bit hesitant to get it. It was Php 1,275 and kind of limited to summer but I was amazed by the fringe and design - I'm a sucker for design. So I bought it even if I was carrying a stack of magazines and it was hard to juggle my bag, lunch bag and magazines plus my purchase. It was also the last piece - so there's no turning back for me.

The lighting sucks but you can still see the detail in the front

Back view is also fantastic - worried a bit about the durability since it can easily snag something

Then a week later while browsing, I happen to see a similar looking fringed waistcoat in cream- in Topshop this time and at thrice the price! Item is also out of stock online.

Well, I was really quite surprised to see it in Topshop. Well at least my apprehension on the cost per wear is a bit tempered down.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
