post Category: All about Mia, Fab5 Finds, Fashion and Design post postOctober 4, 2008

Sure I’m a bargain hunter, but my taste sure ain’t cheap. Especially when it comes to Mia’s clothes. So when shopping opportunities present themselves, I never fail to get a good find for my little fashionista. :D

Fab Find #1: A Mini Maxi Dress.

Pardon the irony, but yep, they do make maxi dresses for toddlers. Probably from excess cloth of women’s maxi dresses. Hehe. This one I got from the Jatujak Weekend Market in Bangkok (heaven I tell you, if not for the heat) for only 90 Baht. That’s about Php120.

Aside from looking nice on Mia, I like it because it fits snugly around her chest (most of her tube tops slip down because she’s sooo skinny), and the loose and light material lets her move freely. And did I mention Mia likes it so much when she’s complimented when she wears a dress? That’s the start of a kikay girl right there.

Fab Find #2: 5 for the Price of 1

Ok, that’s an exaggeration. But have you seen the price tags on designer babies’ apparel? Crazy. It makes me think sometimes if those are spun with gold. 2 shorts and 3 leggings all for Php645 on sale at Babyland at Robinsons Galleria. That’s about Php100+ apiece.

Pwede na, no? :)

Toys ‘R Us are also on sale at the ground floor of Robinsons Galleria fountain area. I didn’t get to join in the rummage fun, but I think discounts are uo to 70% off. And oh, the Bratz dolls are at 50% off. :D

Anyway, I’m going back there tomorrow so that’s it for now!

Horaayy..there are 12 comment(s) for me so far ;)
