Hey loves!
So yeah... just the title alone gives you an idea what you'll be seeing when you scroll down. Haha! The Christmas season means extra pay, which will lead to... SHOPPING!
So yeah, I did some MAJOR shopping... most of them are impulse buys, but I have no regrets because I really, really like them. :)
So before I end 2016, let me share with you the final haul post (and the most expensive because of the number of items) for the year...
First few items you'll see are the products I bought when I went to a warehouse sale that carries several of our luxury brands. I added the price that I paid for them. The discounts vary and some are as down as 70% off!

I also went shoe shopping!!!

i really like how comfortable this pair is, but I was hesitant because I know that the material is hard to clean... BUT then I saw this...
Suede and Nubuck Cleaner - PhP 295.00
So I bought the pair! Haha!
I realized recently that most of my shoes need to retire. I need to replace them ASAP. My priority now when it comes to shoes is comfiness so I bought these...
Fantasy Outdoor Step In
PhP 729.00
Kiyumi Sandals in Black and Cream
PhP 479.75 each
They're pretty adorable and cheap so it's still within my budget to buy all four shoes. :P
And finally, I got a haircut! It's been so long since I got one and my hair was getting tooooo long (it's almost above my butt!). I got rid of around 6 inches long and it now looks like this.
I didn't get my bangs trimmed. I'm currently thinking of growing my bangs. Should I keep my full bangs, or have it side swept, or no bangs at all?
What do you think? Comment below if something interests you!
Oh, and by the way,
Happy New Year!
Cheers,
