Papemelroti

I’ve always been a loyal Papemelroti customer. I’ve been using their recycled notebooks, stationeries and memo pads for so long. It has always been a usual pasalubong for me from friends, back when Papemelroti had no branch in Davao yet.

I like anything country-ish. I dig the old and vintage look. I go for anything recycled. Papemelroti got them all.

I always make sure to stop in its store whenever I see one. And I always end up buying something… things that I don’t normally need, just nice to own and have.

Flowers as table toppers.

Boxes in all sizes, for storage or as gift box.

Papemelroti sells handcrafted products (from wood to metal to cloth). They strive to make products that only have a minimal impact on the environment. 

Here are some desk items that you will find in their stores:

Stone art paperweights and figurines.

Novelty eyeglasses holder.

Deco plaque coasters.

Religious items for your altar:

  

Wall decors for your kitchen:

 And a lot more!

A new Makati branch opened recently, conveniently located at the 2nd floor of Glorietta 3, along the walkway to SM.

Happy Papemelroti shopping!

I just LOVE Forever 21!

I have been waiting... and waiting...for Forever 21 to open in Makati. Its branch in SM Megamall is just too far from my place. And I don't frequent Mandaluyong that much.

Finally, its here! Forever 21 opened its doors just last week in SM Makati.

Located at the ground floor of SM Department Store

There were too many people inside. Packed! Every rack was crowded.

Saturday's crowd

Busy shoppers

The place is huge! One will literally drool with all the choices available. Taking of pictures was not allowed, but I managed to snag some shots (sorry!).

Summer dresses

Peasant tops

Striped and dotted tops

I am now a certified shopaholic! I endured the long line in the dressing room. Patiently. I wouldn't want to buy clothes without fitting them first. I don't wanna take risk.

They also have Plus size clothes

Smocked long dresses

So I waited for 20 minutes just to have my turn. There were 9 cubicles actually, still I had a loooong wait.  You can fit as many clothes as you want --- no limit! The girl before me had 14 clothes in her shopping bag, while I had 6 (only).

The very convenient shopping bag you can tote while looking around.

Lots of choices

Cheaper than Zara or Mango =)

I decided to buy 5 out of 6. Perfect fit. Lovely colors. Reasonably priced. In other words, I WANT them =)

The next thing to endure.....the long line at the payment counter.

Snaky line

There were 5 counters, still I waited for almost 10 minutes just to pay for my purchases. Patiently.

I broke my promise not to shop until May. I bought a lot of stuff the other weekend, and now THIS! Argh. I'm financially poofed. But exhilirated! Just like these girls...

Outside the store, the yellow shopping bag of Forever 21was toted by many
