love chic

Oh look, a pun. But hey, it was either that or something like “sole searching.” Although it would still be quite appropriate—my sole search in the past few weeks was for the proverbial balance. Managing things on the job, putting in enough quality time for family and friends, and attending to some advocacies close to heart, in light of the tragedy that has befallen Bohol and Cebu. 

I’m happy for this recent succession of national holidays where people could just take a break from it all and just be comfortable. It’s a good thing the weather has been cooperative for the most part, too. Neither too sunny nor too wet for an outdoor stroll, and with just the right amount of breeze in the air to take in nearby sceneries.

Victoria’s Secret worn underneath because this dress is so short, sheer and body-hugging it might as well be a summer cover-up.

Pulseras by Kim “Love Chic” heart padlock and key pendants. It’s always a delight when shops send gifts, but even sweeter when they actually send them personalized!

SM Accessories leopard-printed quilt shoulder bag and XOXO leopard-printed heart cocktail ring, because this is the print that just won’t go out of fashion. Nude gel manicure and plum gel pedicure courtesy of St. Nails in Makati.

I’ve had my eye on this particular pair after seeing them on display in SM Megamall a few weeks ago. Unless it’s to the beach, I’m not into wearing typical rubber or plastic flip-flops for days when I want me feet and toes to take a break from closed shoes. I like slipping into understatedly nice footwear that I can walk and drive more comfortably in, and these Birkenstocks certainly fit the bill.

The cool part is I was just in time for their “Live It App” promo. You just have to download “Comfort Sole” on your smartphone and you get a 10% discount, just like that. 

Cute app icon too. All you have to do is show this at the counter when paying. The 10% is discounted from the total of your purchase(s). 

The app is pretty nifty—with the Locations, About Us, and Categories features, your newest pair of Birkenstocks is literally at the touch of a button. 

The Categories open into an online catalog, where you can see all the different models and colors that Birkenstocks sandals come in, along with the name and the price. The photos open when you click on each category; I simply superimposed this to save space and show you.

Yay! Okay, not exactly the most immaculate of feet. Haha. But don’t fret if yours are like mine. So long as they’re comfortable and takes me to places I need to be, all our soles need to be is pampered every now and then in the spa and in comfortable footwear.

Here’s hoping everyone is having a wonderful long weekend!
