Day 15. #100HappyDaysV2.0

(There's something about me and guys who live quite far from my place and have a hard time meeting up with me…)

Online window shopping with the boyfriend. Yes, technology is an essential part of our relationship…for now.

Going YESSS, YAMAN with my 4 Pre-Loved Items!

http://www.thestylecebu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/olx.jpg

I've been a member of OLX.ph (formerly known as Sulit.com.ph) since September 2012 and I've sold a lot of stuff over the years, including TONS of books and a whole lot of breastmilk bags that I didn't get to use.

Right now, my OLX.ph page has 5 items: our beloved CRV and these 4 items which, I hope, can find new owners who will love them as much as I did.

I've searched far and wide for this book (OA ko lang) but at the time I desperately wanted to read it, I can't afford a brand new copy. I resorted to the next best place to get goods (Sulit.com.ph!) and bought a cheaper copy from there. Now, I'd want to share with someone else the wisdom this book gave me so I'm selling it over at #olxph.

I bought this top from a friend probably a year ago. When I saw it from her stocks, I immediately wanted to have it. I mean, just look at the colors! I tried wearing it out a couple of times but then I resigned to the fact that I cannot, for the life of me, pull this top off. It doesn't jive well with my personal style to start with but that doesn't discount the fact that I actually wanted it when I saw it.

I got this water bottle from a store in Clark when Brianna was still a baby, swearing to myself I was gonna make her use this when she starts going to school. It's so pretty and so lady-like. I especially love the pearl details on the neck of the bottle (which can be detached). Anyway, fast-forward to 4 years and 700 million water bottles after, I took the bottle out of the storage and thought it would be such a waste to use it just once and forget all about it like the other water bottles I have in storage now so I'm now selling it.

I'm not really a perfume kind of girl. I get dizzy when I spray some on but that doesn't stop people from giving me perfumes when they come home from a travel. This one in particular was given to me by my tita. It smells really good, mind you, with that fresh, fruity scent. As much as it pains me to part with that scent, I need to sell it to save me from a major migraine.

So, if you want to be the loving owner of any of the 4 items (or our CRV!), just go to my OLX.ph page  or drop me a line on my message box on the sidebar so we can talk.







YESSS, YAMAN!
(Can I just say, sooooooobrang catchy lang talaga nito…)

Zalora Site-Wide Flash Sale

Kicking off 2013 with a bang, ZALORA brings you a week of their popular, site-wide flash sales!

Getting an early start on their Spring cleaning, ZALORA is running hour long flash sales through the end of January. At random hours for the rest of the month, ZALORA will be offering an extra 13% off anything in the store. From the hottest new releases to the best of last season’s styles, get it at a ZALORA flash sale and get it for less.

Since their launch in February 2012, ZALORA has come a long way but they’ve never forgotten their promise to offer the best products at the best prices out there. “We’ve had so many great new products and brands come on the site during 2012,” said Co-Founder Paulo Campos, “Even though we’re looking forward to all the wonderful new stuff we have in store for 2013, we figured, ‘Why not give something special back to all the people who helped make our first year such a success?’”

Keep your computers glued to www.ZALORA.com.ph, because while they’re busy cleaning out their extensive closets, you’re sure to find something you’ll love.

Zalora Launches TVC Online

My favorite online shopping haven, Zalora Philippines, has launched their TVC online last January 8 over their YouTube channel. If you watch a lot of TV, though, you'd have seen it late last year because they've aired it over 4 cable channels for 2 weeks prior to the online release. I think I saw it on Star World twice. If you haven't seen it yet, here it is:


I can somewhat relate to the TVC. I mean, I've become really addicted to online shopping despite the lack of funds. Although no one in the household made a video about it, I keep on getting "Ano ba yan?! May delivery ka nanaman?!" comments from almost everyone that it's getting funnier and funnier as time goes by. What can I say? It's just so addicting!
Zalora.com.ph has a wide range of products, from clothes to home furniture. You can take advantage of the End of Season Sale that's happening in the store right now, too. While you're at it, you can use my voucher code, Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)], when you check out for discounts. Yes, you can use the voucher codes to get discounts for the sale items, too.

Happy New Year Sale in Zalora

I haven't been browsing the Zalora website in weeks because I was too busy eating and drinking but when I did, I was greeted by one of the more pleasurable surprises an online store could offer their patrons:

Yes, all customers will be getting a 13% discount on the items once you use the coupon code NEWYEAR13. A minimum purchase of Php2,500 is required for you to avail of this coupon code, though. It covers all of the products in the website except for sale items, electronics, beauty products and gift cards.

This Zalora sale came just in time for me because I really need the discount for my fitness/body/vanity goal this year. The universe really knows what to throw my way and when to throw it my way.

The universe and Zalora teaming up to help me with my goal. I love it!

Zalora Gift Cards

If you're anything like me, you would also be having a hard time picking out the perfect presents for your godchildren. I've been to probably 5 bazaars and still have no idea of what gift to give them. Good thing for us, there are Zalora gift cards that you can give them this Christmas:

There are two denominations that you can choose from: Php1,000 and Php5,000. The bearer of the gift card will be able to use them to purchase anything from http://zalora.com.ph. They (or their parents) also can use the discount voucher Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)] when they buy something from the website, just like you can use it to purchase the gift cards. "Don't you worry about a thing, baby...", just head on to Zalora, your ultimate one-stop online shop this Christmas season.

Zalora Christmas Wishlist 2012

I have a short Zalora wishlist here in the blog this year because I've saved all of the things I want in the wishlist tab in my Zalora account.

I'm a flats kind of girl.

I am one of those girls who you cannot - for the life of you - force to wear heels. Here are the only moments I wore heels:

• Gradeschool grad (It was only an inch high but still)
• BSA junior year (where I went from the ballroom to my then-boyfriend's car barefoot)
• Highschool grad
• That one time in the club (and it was one of the things I've regretted in my life so far)
• A childhood friend's debut
• A college friend's debut
• Thesis defense
• College grad
• 3 corporate job interviews (I wore flats before and after the interviews)

See? That's not a lot because I really hate wearing them. Yes, they elongate your legs and make you look sexier but I really cannot take the stress it gives the heel of my feet and my legs. I'm all for comfort so whenever I window shop for shoes in Zalora, I immediately go to their flats section and so far, these are the ones that caught my eyes:

Red Sperry Top-Sider, grey Shoo In, Naturezza zippered sandals, J&M slip ons

These comfy flats and other different footwear of various brands - local and imported - are all available in Zalora. Prices start at Php89.75! For real! They also offer free shipping so if the price of the shoe you want to buy is at Php290, that's all you need to pay. Cash on delivery payment option is available to major cities in the Philippines. And yes, the rumor that they deliver within the day is true (depending on your location)!

If all that still didn't make you go to the Zalora website and shop your hearts out, then this will: type Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)] upon checkout to get discounts on your purchase.

Cullen It Up this Halloween with Zalora

In line with the Twilight fever that's going to take over the world (AGAIN!) in a few days' time, thanks to the screening of Breaking Dawn part 2, and of course, Halloween, I present to you my Edward Cullen picks from Zalora:

Merger jacket, Collective.com roundneck shirt, Folded & Hung slacks, H2Ocean closed slip-ons, Gorgeous Cosmetics liquid foundation, La Bella styling gel, Le Posh Blvd. cologne

So, I guess the first four items are self-explanatory. I mean, whether or not you've watched even one Twilight movie, you'd know that Edward almost always look like that in the entirety of the franchise. What I want to focus on are the last three items.

The Gorgeous Cosmetics liquid foundation is for you to look pale, thus giving everyone off the vampire vibe. If you actually look pale then you can do away with this and probably the embarrassment of having to explain to your partner or your mom why you have liquid foundation in your room.

To achieve the Edward Cullen locks, you're gonna have to use a styling gel and this one from La Bella will be perfect for it.

Lastly, the Cullens are known for smelling good (at least for Bella) so this Le Posh Blvd. cologne should be able to help you achieve the vampire scent that draws your very own lamb in.

To finish off your look, grab a pair of orange contact lenses at your friendly neighborhood optical shop and you're all set to sweep girls off their feet in the Halloween party.

Before you go off seducing your next prey, take note that you can get all of these items at a much cheaper price if you use my discount voucher, Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)], upon checkout. Now, off you go.

Zalora for your baby

If you're a mom like me, you're probably guilty of window shopping and actual shopping for your baby's stuff because I know that I am. I would spend literally hours and hours of window shopping at malls, looking at sippy cups and cute, little Chuck Taylors. Story's not any different with online shopping except I spend even more hours online window shopping because it's just too convenient.

Zalora, one of the most convenient places to shop online, also has cartoon character brand, apart from your usual men and women's apparel in their catalog. Here are some of my mom picks:

The Dora the Explorer cup from Munchkin is a must-have wherever you go, especially if you have a toddler. All the running and the playing will tire your little one out and keeping a glass of water within arm's reach is a very, very wise idea.

This 2-piece Minnie Mouse sleepwear is a very comfortable pair that your baby can wear practically anywhere. If your home is anything like mine, there are times that you don't turn the aircon on due to financial reasons and this ensemble will keep your baby comfortable throughout the night.

Who doesn't love Hello Kitty? This lunch box will not only show everyone how you love the most popular cat in town, it will also show what great of a mom you are by always having snacks in tow and looking chic while at it.

To keep your baby's toothbrush clean, get a pair or two of these cute toothbrush holders that you can stick to your bathroom mirror so your baby will get even more excited to brush his/her teeth.

This Barbie watch will surely grab the attention of everyone in preschool. Be sure to point them to Zalora if their parents ask. *wink*

The convenience doesn't stop with window shopping in Zalora. Their payment options are testaments to that and you will get to experience that once you make the purchase. Added bonus to your already very convenient shopping experience? Well, just type the voucher Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)] upon checkout to get discounts on your purchase. Just make sure that it's around Php500 for you to avail of the discount.

Zalora for OC people

If you are as OC as me, you'd know the importance of organizers in your home. Okay, so I don't have my own place yet but that doesn't mean I don't keep my room and the other rooms at home clean because I totally do. Anyway, I was browsing through Zalora's catalog again (What's new?) and here are some of the organizers they are selling that caught my eye:

1. This jewelry box will totally match my bedroom. My room's all white and pink and this will blend in easily. What I like about it is that it doesn't look like a jewelry box at all! There are other designs for this couch jewelry box that you can choose from, just click here.
2. So technically, the next organizer is for the kitchen but I would love to use it to organize Brianna's toys. She has a lot of those smaller toys that are usually sitting on the bed's ledge and being the OC person that I am, I get annoyed whenever I see them. This will help me organizer her toys. Plus, moving them from our room to the living room will be so much easier with this one.
3. The third item I picked out is a scarf organizer but since I have more belts than scarves, I'd probably use it to hold my belts more than my scarves.
4. A watch organizer is a must-have for me not because I have a lot of watches but because I have a lot of bangles. This organizer will be perfect for me because I can see everything at one look and I need that because most of the time, when we go out, I'm always the one rushing.
5. Lastly, I would love to own one of these suitcases just because. Yeah, I don't have an exact reason why I want one but I really do, okay.

So, I read on Twitter that there have been problems with Zalora's stocks and/or deliveries for some people. Personally, though, I haven't encountered any problems with them. All of my packages arrive the day after I order them and the stocks are flawless.

For a much, much better experience with Zalora, you could ask them via customer@zalora.com.ph regarding their stocks or the dimensions of the products you are interested in before you make the purchase and take advantage of their cash on delivery payment option which is now available to major cities (Metro Manila, Cebu, Tacloban, Ormoc, Zamboanga Del Sur, Bacolod, Iloilo, Cagayan De Oro and Davao Del Sur) in the Philippines.

For discounts, just type the voucher code Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)] upon checkout. This also applies to cash on delivery payments!

Print on print picks from Zalora.

If you knew me, you'd know how much I'm into plain, basic pieces. I have a whole lot of plain shirts as well as plain denims. So rarely will you see me wear something printed. That doesn't mean, though, that I wouldn't buy, say, a printed top. If anything, I have a couple of maxi dresses that have some tribal print on them. I just don't wear them that much because a.) it seems out of place wearing my kind of maxi dress with the weather we're having and b.) I don't really want to attract attention.

To prove, though, that I am not that much allergic with prints, here are my printed picks from Zalora:

Chictees Aztec print top, Accessorize floral clutch bag, Collective.com zebra print leggings, The Little Things She Needs animal print bangles, Punchdrunk Panda flats

If you don't want to look weird in front of a lot of people, don't wear all these at the same time. Or do. I am in no position to tell you what to do. I'm not fashionable in any sense. Plus, fashion has no rules so you can do whatever you want to do with it.

For discounts on your Zalora purchase, use the voucher code Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)] upon checkout. Now, be gone!

If I were a boy, I'd still shop at Zalora.

I'm not a girly girl but I do love a well put-together guy. I don't shop for myself - not for long amounts of time, anyway - but I can spend hours looking at men's clothes. I also tend to "dress up" my boyfriends in the past and I know they looked good when I was the one dressing them up.

I am no stylist nor anything remotely close to being fashionable but there's one look that I know every girl has swooned over at least once in their lives:

Anyway, before I ramble on on how hot Zac Efron is in this movie, here's my 17 Again Zalora picks for those males who want to look mighty fine like this handsome specimen right here:

Merger jacket, Crimson white shirt, Mossimo sunglasses, Crocs sneakers, Dr. Denim jeans

Channel your inner Zac Efron with Zalora Philippines! Use my discount voucher Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)] upon checkout to get discounts on your purchase.

Let's get crunk with Zalora!

If you've been my friend (or acquaintance) for more than a month, you'll probably know my love for the African-American music by now. Hiphop, Jazz, RnB, Slow Jams, Rap, you name it, I most definitely am listening to it.

Problem with me, though, is I cannot - for the life of me - pull off a decent hiphop outfit. It doesn't help that I don't think I look good in it so I just don't push. That doesn't mean, though, that I don't try to put together a look for it when I am bored.

Vero Moda pants, Martina Martina cuff, Feiyue hi-cut sneakers, Skull Candy headphones, Capital G dogtag, Toy Watch watch, Capital G hoody tee

So, what do you think about the look I made? All the stuff you see there are available in Zalora. If you find anything interesting, you can always use my voucher code, Aletotski0 (Aletotski[zero]), to get a 5% discount on your purchase.

Pleasant surprise c/o Zalora

Last Saturday night, while hanging out with Brianna and my babydaddy, I heard someone call out my name. It was weird because one, I don't get that much visitors here at home and two, it was late/early, depending on how you want to look at it. When I answered the door, I saw the Zalora delivery guy with my package:

Like before, I still love their packaging. Those boxes, alongside everything else they offer with the merchandise (30 days return, free shipping nationwide, same day delivery, cash on delivery, etc) proves how much they value their customers.

Anyway, that wasn't what surprised me because I already knew all of that while I was browsing their online catalogue. What surprised me was the fact that the delivery guy arrived at 8:00 on a Saturday evening. I knew that couriers deliver during Saturdays but I always receive my package before lunchtime so a delivery at 8pm really surprised me. Kudos to the delivery guy and kudos to Zalora!

Don't forget to use my coupon code, Aletotski0 [Aletotski(zero)], when you check out for discounts.

Chic finds on Chic Finds.

One of the greatest online shops on Facebook I have bookmarked on my browser is Chic Finds. Chic Finds is run by the sister tandem, Queenie and Tin Contreras. Their shop consists of pre-loved items that need new homes and brand new imported items, mostly pre-orders.

Here are some of their products:

but what I love most are their Casio watches:

I know what you're going to say: There are a lot of online shops offering these watches. The difference with Chic Finds is that they offer these watches at a relatively cheaper price because the shipping fee is inclusive with the price of their watches. And because of this, I will definitely be getting my Casio from them one of these days.

I can bet that you will find the chicest finds in Chic Finds so go ahead and add them on Facebook and start browsing their products. You will love them as much as I do, I know it.

Travelling with Zalora

The family is planning an out-of-the-country trip for my sister's debut at the end of the year but being the excited little thing that I am, even without the plane tickets yet, I can't stop thinking about what I need to bring to the trip. Naturally, I went online window shopping to give me an idea of what I need to bring. I ended up in Zalora and here are some of my travel essentials picks from their boutique:

1. This Tokidoki Terryl 2-set trolley is a mommy-baby must-have, if I may say so myself. When going out of the country for 3-5 days definitely calls for a lot of clothes, especially if you travel around December because of the cold weather and all the shopping you will most probably do on your trip will definitely call for a roomy luggage. In this case, the luggage is sort of a buy-one-take-one thing because the bigger luggage comes with the "baby luggage".
2. A luggage tag has become a necessity now so you can quickly spot your luggage. This vintage travel agency-inspired Colulmbia retro luggage tag will do the job. I mean look at how pretty it is. You won't miss your luggage with this.
3. My laptop will definitely need a nice home for the trip and I thought that this Santorini laptop case from Plains and Prints will do the job. It can even become a makeshift purse, if you have clothes that will match your laptop case.
4. A shopping bag is definitely a must-have for out-of-the-country trips. I mean, you need one for a quick trip to the mall, what more to a place where you can get stuff that you can't see in the Philippines, right? This Flink Eiffel foldable shopping bag looks sturdy enough to handle all the shopping Brianna, Bry and I will most likely do.
5. This resort tote bag by Jacinto & Lirio, in my opinion, is the best bag to bring to a trip. Why? The reason is simple: Look at its color. It's all summer-y and bright but look at the material in which it is made. It can be used during a rainy day without having to worry about getting the things inside of your bag wet. It is the perfect accessory to cheer you up in a gloomy weather.
6. I always tend to forget to bring a pair of slippers whenever we go out of town but with these super comfy and super pretty Flexflop foldable slippers, I'm pretty sure I will never forget to bring it (even if I'm just going to the loo).

Zalora offers all of these items and more on their online shop, http://zalora.com.ph and all of the items in their website are subject to these services:

For discounts, just type Aletotski0 (Aletotski[zero]) on the coupon option on the checkout page to get a 5% discount on your purchase.

Shop Team Manila Lifestyle apparel at Zalora!

I was mindlessly browsing through my Twitter feed this morning when I came across one of Zalora's retweets from a girl who just got her new shirt from the boutique. What caught my attention was the design. I'd know that design anywhere: it is a Team Manila Lifestyle exclusive!

Team Manila is one of my favorite local shirt brands because of their unique designs and their witty catch phrases. Here are some of my favorites:

Philippines Plus 63

Promoter of Positive Vibes

Y'all Phillin It?

You might be wondering why I chose men's shirts. Well, I am not much of a girly girl and when it comes down to t-shirts, I choose from the men's catalogue. Not only do they fit me better, they also have much cooler designs for the men's line...in my opinion, anyway.

These shirts and a whole lot of different designs are available at the Zalora boutique. You can get them, too, for a more affordable price with this discount voucher:

Voucher code: Aletotski0

[Aletotski(zero)]

5% off for a minimum purchase of Php500
