Going Cheapskate at Greenhills Shopping Center

Pearl invited me for some cheap shopping yesterday at Greenhills Shopping Center. Armed with no more than Php 2,000 I agreed to go look at some swimming wear and a few cute dresses with her. Rjay was with us too, but the poor guy was bored 95% of the time. Well, that's what you get when you go shopping with us girls. Sorry Ron! ;)

Anyway, I found three great stores there. First stop is Abiti, where Pearl found a nice ballerina dress worth only Php 950. Abiti's current collection is mostly summer dresses and laid-back beach wears. Some pieces have bohemian touches, but most of them just resemble current summer trends.

Next is Pink Manila. Located at the heart of the intertwined web of little tiangges at the first floor, who would have guessed that this store is one of the most celebrated Pinoy brands for its quality, design and very low price? In fact, purchasing Pink Manila dresses at Greenhills is apparently much cheaper than buying them at The Ramp, Tiendesitas and Crossings Department Stores where the brand can also be found. I bought one for only Php 400!

Finally, there's Cocomo. Pearl was able to get a purple two-piece with detachable golden straps and metal hooks for only Php 900. Known for its fashionable swim wears, Cocomo has already been featured in magazines like Seventeen and Cosmopolitan.

Dinner. Pepper Lunch is still way better, but Sizzling Pepper Steak is okay.
