New Pair of Heels and a FOTD
Photo by Helga
I missed the first five minutes of Alice in Wonderland because Anne, Helga, and I did some last-minute shoe shopping at The Ramp before the movie started. Helga needed a new pair of flats because hers died on the way to work, whereas I needed a new pair of heels in brown. I found something I liked at Aldo and was stressed enough to want to spend P4,000 on a pair of shoes, but I figured I’d look around and see if I can spot a similar pair for cheaper. I’m glad I did, because I got the last pair of these tOnic heels for only P872!
As far as heels go, these are a pretty comfy pair. They’re light and they’ve got an almost-perfect fit; after walking in them a bit more, I noticed that the part below the toe could use a little more space. In any case, they’re not bad for heels that cost less than a thousand bucks!
Wore them out to my dinner date on Saturday night. I bought this paisley top when I was in high school and I never grow tired of wearing it, especially on humid summer days.

I feel like a complete noob for asking this, but where exactly is The Ramp? I’ve been hearing all sorts of awesome purchases coming from there, but I have no idea where it is!
And also, your makeup is awesome… it looks like a combo of grape and envy, haha. I love greens on morena skin.

Thanks! I wanted to do a blue-green look, but the blue I used had strong green undertones. This was the first time I ever went out with green eyeshadow, it really does suit my skin tone. :D
The Ramp can be found at Shangri-La Mall, Podium, and Glorietta 3, but the Shang and Glorietta stores are the biggest. The branch we went to last Friday was at Shang, it’s at the 2nd floor, I think. Near Fish and Co. But if it’s not there try the third floor lol. Check it out after payday cos I’m sure you’ll go crazy. There are so many cute shoes, bags, and clothes! And a lot of them are surprisingly affordable.

Woohoo, thanks! :D *excited*
I’ve never actually managed to do blue on myself successfully… I’m still working on it because it clashes a bit with my yellowish/morena skin.

I’m soooo checking out Tonic next time! Nice shoes! I also like the yellow flats Liz and Helga bought. I think there’s also a Ramp at Trinoma, but I’m not sure.
