Crate and Barrel in Manila.

Perfect time to open a store is right before the Christmas madness season. 

That's exactly when Crate and Barrel opened its doors in the Philippines. Located at SM Mega Fashion Hall, this shop offers a wide range of home accessories that are quite affordable. 

Love this table!

But I love the Acacia wood slabs even more. When I posted it on my Instagram, my "Shoppingera" friends all sent me a message to buy some for them. So I got all that Crate and Barrel had and still waiting for word about when they will have more. 

I don't have a bar at home and I am not an expert drinker so I wouldn't know what to do with this but I really think it's cute!

With my official SM shopping "honey", Harley Sy. 

Congratulations and thank you for making Christmas shopping easy this year!!!

Milanos and Parisian.

Got a hold of the look book 3 weeks before the launch and it was very hard not to share them with you but alas, it is now allowed.

I wore my MAIKO today. It's so comfy!!! 

Lucille wore her TAO and she said that the height (5 inches) does not bother her at all. She has been wearing it for 7 hours now. 

Cedric waited patiently for his size. 

Party peeps that support and love Rajo Laurel, Parisian and Milanos. 

Janina, Debbie and your bloggerina. 

Harley Sy is my new BFF, although I see him only once a year. We should do dinner again soon. Just make sure your cards are not expired because sa dami kong shoes na binili, you are treating! 

Japanese ba kamo yung inspiration ni Rajo for the shoes? Pwes!!!! Mag full-on Japanese attire!!!

Proof of their attendance and their love. Joey and Ian.

Marc and Cedric came to shop for Milanos!

Mikael Daez and JC Tiuseco shopped for shoes too!! 

Host, Mond Gutierrez did a great job in introducing the brand to the guests. 

Direk Robby Carmona, as usual wow'd us all with the show! 

Of course, Nix Alanon was there to help, support and entertain the guests of his love, Rajo. 

The winner is actually is this salesman. He was very patient and helpful that shopping was pleasant despite the hundreds of people clamoring for their sizes. Or maybe it was because I was sitting next to the Sy Family. HAHAHA. 

All lined up like soldiers in my room.

Congratulations Rajo. What an amazing collection!!!
