Converse Counter Climate

Hey Everyone! Happy Halloween!

How was the weekend? I had a fun weekend spent with friends. The kiddo also had a shopping spree at the newly opened H & M store here in our city. ^_^

Today, Im going to share the Converse new collections for Fall/Holiday 2016. They've just launch the Converse Counter Climate Footwear Collection. A very exciting line of shoes and essentials that are intended to stand up against the unpredictable weather that we are having.

This collection feature a bold mix of colors and materials including water repellent canvas, rubber and leather, and waterproof neoprene. Divided into three unique categories: Shield Canvas, Leather and Rubber.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Shield Canvas

Designed for the Chuck Taylor lover who can’t give up their Chucks no matter what the weather, the new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Shield Canvas sneaker combines the enhanced comfort of a Lunarlon sockliner, non-slip padded tongue and micro-suede lining with materials that can also withstand most climate challenges. Converse has added a water repellent Shield Canvas and a gusseted tongue, as well as removing the medial eyelets to make a durable sneaker that is ready for wet and rainy adventures. The sneakers also feature reflective heel webbing and barrel laces for added visibility in low light environments.
Available colors: Black/Volt, Black/Reflective, White/Lava, Black
Retail price: Php 4,550

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Rubber

Another iteration of the Chuck II will also be releasing this fall - the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Rubber. By incorporating a transparent rubber overlay on the iconic Chuck II silhouette, this allows for the sneaker to breathe while repelling water and protecting feet from the elements. The sneaker includes all the features and benefits of the Chuck II such as a Lunarlon sockliner and a non-slip padded tongue, while adding a beautifully crafted dimensional canvas for breathability, micro-perforated leather lining for comfort, and a heat reflecting barrier at the footbed for warmth.
Retail price: Php 5,430

Converse Cons One Star Shield Canvas

This season, the Converse Cons Star also receives the Shield Canvas treatment, combining the enhanced comfort of a Lunarlon sockliner with a lightweight and breathable canvas that can also withstand the rain. Added features include a gusseted tongue and removed medial eyelets allowing the sneaker to tolerate wet environments. Traction rubber has also been incorporated to the outsole, providing additional grip.
Available colors: Black, White, Obsidian
Retail price: Php 4,250

Converse Jack Purcell Signature Twill Shield Canvas

The Converse Jack Purcell Signature collection introduces a thicker Shield Canvas with a water repellent finish, and a tri-color reflective heel stay. A mesh lining backing the shield canvas regulates temperatures across a range of climates while still keeping the sneaker breathable. Reflective laces add flare while a gusseted tongue construction will prevent water from seeping into the dual pod Nike Zoom Air insole technology.
Available colors: Inked, Natural
Retail price: Php 5,590

Converse Jack Purcell Signature M-Series

This fall, Converse introduces a high top silhouette combined with Counter Climate Shield Canvas. Warm, durable and water-repellent, it delivers all-day, on-the-go comfort. The Shield Canvas complements features like Lunarlon insole cushioning, heat regulating mesh lining and a tri-color reflective heel tab for enhanced visibility in low light.
Available Colors: Hot Cocoa, Black
Retail price: Php 5,430

#ShoeSelfie: Velvet Strappy Sandals

My first perks from BPI Express! Thank you!
Before I talk about my shoe selfie, let me give my readers (both regular and new) a warm hug as a sign of gratitude for visiting my blog. It feels so good to read your comments here on my blog. Im happy to gain new friends from different parts of the world.
Daghang Salamat! Kamsahamnida! Thank you! ^_^
Last April, I received an exclusive P500 Zalora gift certificate with no minimum spend when I use my BPI Card. And so I bought this snake studded cross strap sandals by Velvet... I've added an additional though because the shoes original price is PHP799.00. I choose this because I am planning to wear this for a bohemian theme event.

It was my first time to purchase in Zalora. So far was very glad with the smooth transaction and product quality. The shoes was delivered 3 days after purchase and door-to-door to our house.

What do you think of the shoes? Any bohemian outfit suggestion to match on my sandals?

#Wishlist: Sexy Sandals!

I love shoes! I started this addiction last year when I bought my first ever boots. Since then im buying mostly boots but lately I now also like heels and sandals. I more often can't resist buying shoes specially if its so pretty and fits perfectly on my feet, not to mention is a match on my dress. ^_^

Here's some shoes from Martofchina.com Ive been dying to own and wear...

I really like the decoration and overall look of the store. Its very unique and different from the shoe shops we usually see. And for that, I didn't missed a pic of myself inside the store. ^_^

Affordable White Shoes

I bought a cheap white shoes at The Night Cafe today. The original price is Php 120.00 but I got mine for Php 100.00. On a regular basis, white shoes will not catch my attention immediately because I don't like wearing it. Since its a requirement on my massage therapy class and its something I don't have in my shoe rack I now have the reason to buy for it. Luckily, I pass by a slipper and shoe vendor at the flea market at The The Night Cafe. I glance through and caught this white shoes behind the vendor. It was not displayed properly actually and was just stock behind the vendor. I saw a nice design and when I ask how much, it was offered cheap. I immediately grab the one design I liked, look for the size that fits me and paid for it... Impulsive huh?

I can't show you guys the style I picked coz I forgot to take a photo of it. I'll just show it when I already got a matching outfit or should I say wear it with the complete uniform. :) However, here are the other designs of the white shoes that I took.

Centropelle Shoe Sale Hunting

Visited Centropelle Limketkai with Jacqs to checkout their shoe sale. Thanks to mommy Grace for the heads up by the way.
Theres a lot of shoes on sale up to Php 149.00. Jacqs and I drooled at the shoes. Jacqs bought a new sandal for Php 299.95 originally Php 1, 299.95. Too bad I was on a tight budget that time I would love to buy this on-sale booty.

Here's another booty im eyeing also and is also on-sale in 30% off.

And Jacs also is drooling and dying to buy this booty.

That On-sale Booty!

After a dinner meeting I along with fellow CDObies Jacques and Vicmadz drop by at Payless Shoesource boutique to check for some on-sale items. As soon as we arrive I had immediately picked an on-sale booty. Most of the shoe size are already either too big or too small specially on the on-sale items. Good thing there is still a 6 and 1/2 size (my size) of which seem to fit but I think it'll hurt after a long walk. And so I ask if size 7 is available and luckily still has.
After paying I stroll around the other side, which was an effin bad move! The reason is that I saw another booty on-sale and I love so much the style. I was so excited and fit it immediately but it was too big because its size 8. We ask for a lower size but the saleslady said its the only one left, I ask again and again maybe they could still find smaller size but sadly there was none. I really felt bad because I really love the style and it has a good quality in an on-sale price of Php 300. :( To my frustration, Jacques had to drag me out because the store is already closing and  I still don't want to take my hand off on that booty and I almost bought it even its too big for my feet... Hahaha
Here is that booty im talking about... Taadddaaaa!

Oh! By the way, will post a photo of the other booty I've firstly bought soon when I already used it. For now heres the packaging... :D
