My Greenfield City Paseo Shopping Spree Experience
If you will ask me what is the perfect place to go to when you want to shop and at the same time, score and save a lot of money from all the imported items of different stores that you want to purchase, Greenfield City Paseo in Sta. Rosa is the best place I will recommend to my friends, readers and especially my family.
Greenfield City Paseo is an ideal shopping destination for all the shoppers out there because of the branded bargains consumers will find. More than being a one-stop retail hub, Paseo’s open, green spaces provide a relaxing and refreshing venue for families and barkadas.
Greenfield City in Sta. Rosa, Laguna has surely been growing in the past couple of decades. Strategically located just south of Metro Manila, the 400-hectare development is in fact largely credited for spurring interest in Sta. Rosa, which was once an idyllic, sleepy town characterized by vast fields of green.
Today, the same nature-rich environment still exists, but along with it are modern conveniences and a future-ready infrastructure that ensure a suburban metropolis fit for a new generation of Filipino families—a unique “city within a park” concept that sets the development apart from other communities.
The commercial establishments in Greenfield City, meanwhile, are well-planned in order create a reliable support system for everyday needs of such residents. Paseo is one of the pioneering establishments that made Greenfield City a must-visit destination back in the 1990s. Up to this day, Paseo is well-known for its value-for-money retail shops, which are mostly outlet stores of some of the most popular foreign brands.
Top brands, great finds, and unbelievable deals:
At Greenfield City’s Paseo outlet shops, one can discover a number of great deals: For the active, fashionable set, they can check out Timberland, Payless, Oakley Vault, Rudy Project, and Adrenaline outlet which offer stylish essentials. They can also visit the Marks & Spencer, Giordano, Levi’s, and Debenhams outlets, which carry apparel, toiletries and home accessories. To add to the mix, shoppers can troop over to American Eagle Outfitters, F & F, Nine West, Aerosoles, 158 Designer's Boulevard, or Old Navy, and choose from an array of internationally-recognized brands at unbelievable prices.
One of the latest additions to Greenfield City’s distinctive outdoor retail park is Laguna Central, which is now considered as the next stage in the evolution of specialty retail centers in the country.
Laguna Central is home to some of the top restaurants in the South such as Socrates’ Secret Greek and Mediterranean Restaurant, 2.0 German Pub and Italian Bistro, and Fukuya Japanese Restaurant. Other popular and tasty options for the family such as Pizza Hut and Dairy Queen can also be found in Laguna Central.
Good day readers! I really got excited when I heard that SM Milanos Shoes has already released one of their summer collections, their white sneakers! Yes. I immediately dressed up and headed to the mall to get one ‘cause I know it will phase out as soon as they released it. The simplicity yet very stylish and budget-friendly is really a must-have to all the fashionistas out there!
Brands that I’m wearing: aztec button down shirt (HM), shorts (Uniqlo), white sneakers (SM Milanos Shoes), Aviator (Eye Know Right)
Timberland’s Fall 2015 Lookbook made for the modern trail. Today, there’s a new trail as it crosses cities and countryside. This trail is constantly changing. Conditions in the Philippines are unpredictable from work to play, night to day, and sun to rain. Be ready for the everyday adventures this new trail offers.
It was a good day as Timberland has already launched their Newest Fall Collection! I got to attend their event last Sept. 4, 2015 in Hyve, Fort Bonifacio with some of the fashion bloggers. And to tell you honestly, I was stoked to see their newest Fall 2015 collection since I’ve been a fan of their products.
Honestly speaking, one of my wishlist as a fashion blogger was to have my own pair of Timberland. Why? Because Timberland is so versatile and it is a necessity to all who are into fashion and adventure. You can wear it wherever or whatever errands you’re going to do. Just choose the right style and pieces to pair it with your Timberland. Well, for me, I chose denim on denim as the brand represents a strong personality. And I can say that, a hint of classics are made for perfection to match with denim pants.
I’ve never expected to be one of the chosen bloggers to represent the brand. Wearing this pair right now makes me feel so proud and confident to walk it around the city and ran into an outdoor adventure with my family and friends.
Brands that I’m wearing: denim button down (Giordano), denim pants (Topman), roll top wheat w/ camou boots (Timberland)
Do you want to have a pair of your own? Timberland are also available located at SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, Shangri-La Plaza EDSA Corner Shaw Boulevard, and SM Marikina.
Went to Makati last May 1 to get and use my gift certificate from Milanos shoes, I was a bit surprised when I saw their designs. It’s pretty dope to see brogues and classy shoes to be honest. I chose two classy shoes and two mandals as well. I’m going to blog each one of them as soon as before at the end of May, hopefully.
Since I want to be productive, I took the opportunity to shoot somewhere in Glorietta. I actually like what I’m wearing here, something that I used to wear when I started blogging. I’ve missed it! Rough and rugged attire suits are basically one of my styles. What do you guys think about my look?
Brands that I’m wearing: plaid button down (Forever 21), leather pants (BNY), boots (Palladium Boots), rucksack bag (from Hongkong). Hype this on Lookbook.
Rucksack bag which my girlfriend, Sarah bought somewhere in Hongkong. This was actually the bag I used in my Bangkok trip a couple of years ago.

I never imagined that some international brand were going to sponsor me. 2 years ago, I started blogging because I just feel like it. Basically because I love fashion, so why not share it to people. It just started as a hobby. I didn't expect that there are going to be so many opportunities and blessings that would come my way just because of blogging.
A good friend from Birkenstock emailed me a few months ago. They gave me a pair of Birkenstock mandals. First, I was surprised because we all know that Birkenstock isn't that affordable also because of the quality and the name of it. So I was excited to collaborate with the brand!
Here's what I've matched with my mandals. Paired it with something corporate, something that would compliment with my Birkenstock mandals. What do you guys think?
I wore: clubmaster glasses (Cotton On), white button down (Onesimus), black knitted pullover (Forever 21 Men), watch (Kenneth Cole), leather pants (BNY), mandals (Birkenstock), rucksack (H&M Thailand)
White button down from Onesimus and black knitted pullover from Forever 21 men.

This is what I wore on my 3rd day in Bangkok. We went to Pratunam & Chatuchak Market, it's liked "Divisoria" in the Philippines. You can score a lot of stuff with an affordable prices. Well, I actually just bought a black american stars snapback and a button down only. (It's not that many tho haha) The reason why I was saving a lot of money so I can spend it in H&M. Good thing I liked what I bought in that store. I will blog that soon!
So for the outfit. I kept it casual putting denim jacket on it because of Bangkok's cold weather (it's like we're in Baguio!).
I wore: denim jacket (Topman), button down (Forever21), pants (Oxygen), boots (Palladium Boots), watch (Cotton On), rucksack (Hongkong).
Denim jacket from Topman | button down from Forever21.
Rucksack from Hongkong. This was the bag I used in Bangkok for 4 days. Anyway, this is my girlfriend's bag.
It's always one of my dreams to go to a sports-styled barbershop in which there's an entertainment that I can watch any sports while I'm having a haircut, etc. Specifically, more on a basketball, 'cause if you guys don't know, I'm a basketball minded. That's why I wasn't always updating my blog (cause of playing basketball a lot). sorry for that. haha
Razor Sports is the newest and the coolest barbershop in Trinoma Mall. It is a multi-sports inspired barbershop that offers an ultimate grooming hangout for men and women alike.
James Yap is one of the owners of Razor Sports. He is the one I look up to in PBA for me to get inspired to play harder everyday. Those jerseys was signed by him. (Wish I could take the those jerseys home. haha)
Their waiting area! How convenient it is to the costumers not to get bored when they are waiting for their turn. You can watch and even check their products.
These designs of the wall will make you more cozy and entertained. I really liked the idea of putting some sports style on the wall. It really signifies Razor Sports.
It's so cool that whenever you're having a haircut, you can watch some sports news or even a basketball game. Relaxing right? It's so tempting to go back there just to keep myself updated in the sports news.

First outfit post of the year! Time flies so fast that we can't imagine we're already getting old. I can notice that I look older here, and badass! lol Anyway! I used my leather jacket that I bought 4 years ago. That was a very long time and can you imagine that it still fits me? It means that I don't gain weight a lot. haha
I wore: leather jacket (People are People), button down (Forever 21), shirt (Ranz Project), pants (BNY), boots (Palladium Boots), aviator (Whatever Boutique).
Leather jacket from People are People. Button down from Forever 21. Shirt from Ranz Project. It was my first time to try this kind of style. I don't know what went to my mind but I think the layerings and color combination are similar and nice.
I've been so busy with all the school works and errands that's why I have lots of outfit and travel post on my drafts right now. I'm excited to blog my vacation trip in Thailand last December. Plus my first collaboration with salon somewhere in Manila. (something different huh haha) Be updated! :)
How’s your vacation so far? I’ve been obtaining myself with basketball, friends, firefall and family and didn’t even think about to modernize or update my blog. lol
I’ve decided to wear some jacket to fit it with basic style. I liked it when you’re craving for something that you really want and knew that it was wallet-friendly. haha it wasn’t so bad though
Leather denim jacket from thrift store. I was addicted to thrift stores lately. It’s very fun to go to because you can find some hidden treasures there lol
Shirt from Ranz Project. This shirt is so affordable yet so stunning to my eyes. Simple shirts are not bad to match it with every look.
I had a shoot last Saturday to share with you guys my World Balance experience. It was really awesome how sporty shoes just trending right now, pairing it with everyday style.
Well for me, if you can notice, the color of my jacket and my shoes are the same. I'm not really comfortable with plain style now. I saw this Ellese jacket when I'm about to go somewhere and I like how it looked like.
I wore: jacket (Ellese), button down shirt (Cotton On), pants (Oxygen), running shoes (World Balance)
Eagle-print button down shirt from Cotton On.
Jacket from Ellese.
Flash Runner shoes from World Balance. Prices of the World Balance running shoes are usually below 2,000 php. But rest assured that the running shoes are lightweight, comfortable and have incredible traction. You won't regret buying it because It is one of the affordable brand yet lightweight strong.
Hi everyone! I’m back again with different style. I’m experimenting and trying a lot of different shades of color. Really afraid mixing different colors if you guys can notice because sometimes I’m not comfortable with the outcome. But here! I like how it really turned out. Teal color isn’t that bad matching it with brown drop crotch pants. What do you guys think?
I wore: cap (Oxygen), button down shirt (Topman), pants (Oxygen), sneakers (Get Sole), watch (Cotton On), socks (Topman), eyewear (Whatever Boutique).
Teal button down shirt from Topman.
I bought this 70% off of the original price. I really scored a lot of sale stuff in Topman! Kuripot kasi minsan haha
Camouflage cap from Oxygen. I always use this cap everytime I feel uncomfortable with my hair even I’m styling it. It’s the great escape of having a bad hair day. haha
Denim watch from Cotton On.
Black sneakers from Get Sole | Socks from Topman. I can’t believe that the price of this shoes was only 499 php. I’m really craving for this kind of shoes good thing I did find cheap ones.
It's been awhile! haha I'm too careless to update my blog because of Firefall. Do you guys know that game? Graphics and opponents are sick! It's pretty much awkward how online games can wreck our favorite things to do. Even my blogger duties! But I think I'm good now, I have 2 drafts here already. So yeah! bumabawi haha
So I came up with simplicity but will still looked sensational and remarkable at the same time. What do you guys think of this look?
I wore: shirt (Trilogy Boutique), denim pants (Folded & Hung), sneakers (Get Sole), denim watch (Cotton On), aviator (Whatever Boutique). Click this to hype it in Lookbook.
Remix war in full effect shirt from Trilogy Boutique. They are offering a myriad of products ranging from the latest apparel, footwear, accessories, books, novelty items to furniture. From street wear staples "Team Manila, Obey, Vans, Stussy" to fresh selections from new brands. And they have my favorite brand Palladium Boots too.
Logo back of the shirt.
Denim watch from Cotton On. It's pretty cool how I am in-love with denim and I saw this watch from a very affordable price and super wallet-friendly. haha This is the other watch that I bought from the store. I actually scored 3 watches if you did check my past posts. Click this if you haven't seen them.
This denim strap watch really caught my attention when I saw it in Cotton On.
Perfect weather and a perfect setting for this outfit! I really like the ambiance that day, you thought it was hot in this picture but there was the perfect air to fill in my body. haha It looks like I'm out of the country in this place but I'm not. It is just somewhere in Alabang! That is what I like about this place not just because it is near my home but also there is a lot of good and great places where you can have your outfit post. And there's not that much people walking around to look at you and the photographer. haha
I wore: beanie (Wanderstruckph), wayfarer (Cotton On), varsity jacket (online store), denim button down (Giordano), pants (Onesimus), boots (Palladium Boots). Hype this look on lookbook - CLICK THIS
Bad hair day beanie from my Girlfriend's online store, Wanderstruckph. It was just my first time to wear beanie to my outfit shot and I didn't expect that this look would be really perfect to paired it with. Nice ha! I really liked the outcome and expect it for my next looks of my style matching it with wanderstruckph's beanie.
Wayfarer from Cotton On. This is the perfect fit to pair it with the sunny weather and the whole look. I bought this wayfarer with clubmaster glasses because if you buy two eyewears, it is more affordable than the usual's price of one eyewear.
Varsity jacket from an online store | Denim button down from Giordano. Online store's are trending just now and a smart move for the consumers nowadays. It is convenient because we can choose any time of the day or night to get on the web and shop. This is especially useful for parents with small children, people that are home-bound, or simply in times of inclement weather that we're facing in the Philippines. haha
Closer look of the logo. Well aside that it is convenient, you can compare the price from the expensive and known-stores. When you visit a store, you most likely have to settle for whatever price the vendor has placed on a particular item. Not so with online shopping because you have the ability to compare prices from hundreds of different sellers.
Wearing my favorite boots from Palladium Boots. It is just easy to sport it with grunge or even a preppy look. I really just love the brand! Naks haha
I always have these two problems whenever I'm in a photoshoot for my outfit post. First one is when the rain's about to pour and the other one is when it is getting late and dark. In this case, it's getting late and dark. I really suck at time management! I don't get that perfect sunny weather for me haha
So, my family and I went to Pampanga last weekend and this was the first time I wore denim jacket and posted it on my blog. I really like the fitting and guess what, I just bought it in an Ukay Ukay!
I wore: denim jacket (Thrift Store), button down shirt (Topman), pants (Oxygen), bracelet (Twinklepuff), watch (Cotton On), topsider (Sperry).
Denim jacket from thrift store. Button down shirt from Topman. It is my first time to buy something from thrift shop and I really didn't expect that I'm going to see this very cheap denim jacket. It is a very good find and just perfect for the cold weather.
Don't ever underestimate thrift shop! Yes, it is selling secondhand clothes and other household goods but we don't know that we can find some good and great quality like this denim jacket.
Bracelet from Twinklepuff. Crafted a bracelet made of botswana agate gemstones accented with a laughing Buddha charm paired, also known as Buddha of Happiness or Matreiya in Buddhism. This jolly deity is the supreme symbol of joy and well being and vision of happiness.
Wore outfit cause I want to submit a look to #topmanxgarage! The winner will be featured in Garage Magazine. That was kinda lucky! And I make it to a conclusion that I'm not going to win because I'm not that proud of what I really wore haha. I want to layer some denim or leather jacket but It is so hot that time and can you imagined that I'm sweating here? lol
Since I was starved to wear denim button down and boots, I went to Oxygen and saw this rough slim pants, I knew this is the perfect match for the look. It is so vigorous and virile! What do you guys think?
I wore: denim button down (Topman), pants (Oxygen), watch (Cotton On), bracelet (Twinklepuff), wayfarer (Cotton On), boots (Palladium Boots) Hype this on lookbook!
Smart watch from Cotton On. I told you guys that I bought 3 watches from the store cause aside from the awesome design, It is really affordable! Yeah, the dark spot you can see in my hand is a birth mark haha
Bracelets from Twinklepuff. It's been awhile since I wore some bracelet. Good thing Twinklepuff was there to superior the whole look.
