I may not be called a "Fashionista" but I'm proud of 3 things ---
- My ability to "sniff" if a store has anything that I would want without getting inside the store --- call that talent!
- Just by mere looking at the clothes, I would know if they fit or not. --- Eagle Eyes!
- How good of a "packer" I am! I used to work and live overseas so bringing in your whole room to another country in a large suitcase and a hand carry? --- God's gift I tell you!
So when I heard about Clothes Buffet Manila last year, I told myself, I had to be there! BUT, due to crazy schedule called Motherhood and a lot of conflict with jobs here and there - I missed it! Thankfully, I was told there will be a Season 2! And thankfully, I was on Season 2 because I heard they are BIGGER and BETTER!
What to expect from CBM Season 2?
1 Bag, 20 Minutes and more than 40,000 clothes!
Last year, someone managed to stuff 21 pieces of clothing in a bag! So this year, someone had to beat that! And I'm sure it won't be an issue because the bag is bigger this year!
The team were kind enough to create a "mini buffet" for Bloggers to understand how it felt like to be part of the "buffet". It was just a few racks as compared to the main event this coming November but let me tell you, it was nerve-racking!
This year, they will focus on Coachella-Ready Fashion, Gossip-Girl inspired fashion and our favorite LBDs!
Coachella Ready Racks
Gossip Girl Inspired Outfit Racks
And the rack that is appropriate for my age group :P The Little Black Dress
And oh, did I tell you I came in wearing my own version of LBD?
I lied! This was a 2pcs outfit!
Top: Cache Cache, Skirt: Strativarius |
Just some of the key pieces that caught my attention.
A dressy LBD for night out.
Frilly skirt for weekend shopping with girl friends.
A cute top that tells everyone you'll feel awesome if you look into life that way!
A top that would work for both day and night!
And another cute Little Red Dress! Or a top if you're a tall girl!
So we all get to try how it feels like to be in a room full of clothes, pick your favorite pieces with fellow clothes-addict, give yourself 20 minutes to pick everything you like and pack them inside this bag!
At this stage, I would like to remind everyone to be nice to fellow shoppers! No pushing, hair-pulling or worst, elbowing! :P
Thanks to the sponsors who were around during the launch.
Just so you know, for a first-timer, I was able to pack in 9 pieces of clothing! 4 dresses, 4 tops and 1 skirt. So I won myself a power bank for being 3rd placer! Not bad for a first timer right?
With Say
Met the gorgeous Vloggers! Joyce, Say and Bea!
Thanks girls for adopting me that day!
Happy Shopper!
Guess what? Everything fit!
