Love Chic

We’re so excited to be part of the Superb by SuperSale bazaar this May! This is the flyer we made for our booth. The biggest booth goes to the blogger whose flyer gets the most number of “likes” on SuperSale’s Facebook page, and since we’ll be selling a lot of couple shirts, accessories and pre-loved items, we could definitely use a big booth. We know we can count on you guys for this, so we decided to throw in a little thank-you gift.
   
We recently got a box of Nivea Sparkling White and Nivea Visage products from our friends at Nivea Philippines. We can’t possibly use them all up for ourselves so we divided the extra items into two sets, which we’ll be raffling off to all our followers who will show their support for Love Chic at the Superb bazaar. Here’s how.

Nivea Set 1:
Essential Care lip balm with jojoba oil and shea butter
Sparkling White whitening and cell renewal night care

The cool thing about department-store shopping is you have everything you’re looking for in one place. The cool thing about online shopping is you can browse, add to cart, and check out items with a few mouse clicks. Combine both retail experiences and you’ve got an online department store that houses the brands you love: ZALORA. 
   
If the name rings a bell, it’s because they’ve been all over local cyberspace lately. You check your Facebook, view a funny viral on YouTube or admire a blogger’s outfit of the day and a ZALORA ad is on the page, beckoning one and all to check it out. Check it out we did, and we like what we found.
   
   

❤ User-friendly interface, with categories neatly lined up in tabs on top, a menu bar at left, and a nifty “Need assistance?” pop-up. Search by category, brand, color, price, size, even occasion. You can finally search for “wedges” and not get photos of fried potatoes.
❤ Helpful rollover options: aside from brand, description, price and available sizes, you get a view of the item from four angles. The customer perks: 30 days return, free shipping nationwide, same day delivery, cash on delivery, help hotline and FAQ.
❤ The variety. From foreign brands to local faves, high-end to budget-friendly, apparel  and shoes to gadgets and lifestyle items. And they’re just getting started, so we’re expecting many more brands and items to come in soon. 
   
We also found these. We like to call ‘em… ZALORAROIDS. Haha. 

❤ Shai’s pick: I love pastels and wedges and these Chic Yamada shoes is all that. I imagine it can easily be worn with pieces I already have, and without discrimination—dresses, skirts, shorts, pants… Plus, that lime green candy color looks good enough to eat!
   
 

❤ Seph’s pick: Boots have got to be my favorite footwear. I love how they instantly make a plain outfit stylish. These 5CM boots would be a cool addition to my growing collection, with its classic design combined with interesting details that make it stand out.
   
 

❤ Shai’s pick: I’m a fan of small bags because I’m too lazy to lug my entire world around in a huge tote slung over my shoulders. This XOXO handbag is the right mix of dainty and edgy, which means I can wear it a lot of ways. Perfect for carrying just the essentials.
   
 

❤ Seph’s pick: Unless I’m off to the gym, I’m not a fan of backpacks as they tend to look too sporty and seldom go well with my outfits. I prefer messenger bags, murses and sleek satchels, like this one from 5CM: simple, elegant and goes well with my wardrobe.
   
 

❤ We recently bought a condo unit that we’re furnishing little by little. We want to have as much of the furniture and gadgetry as possible to come in white. We also want a decent sound system for our daily music fix. This Logic3 dock would be a cool solution to both!

So what’s the inspiration for this? We believe an effective way to get what you want is to create a visual board with pictures of your goals, dreams and aspirations. You feed your subconscious with these images and they eventually make their way to you at the right time. The Secret, we believe, is similar to online shopping: you decide what you want, confirm your order, make the necessary payments and expect it to be delivered. We thought this was a good way to articulate those two ideas. And well, it was just really fun to do. Go ahead, create your own wishlist, too.
  

As promised, two readers will win their favorite look from our “12x12” feature! Here’s how.
