Rajo Laurel for SM Parisian Shoes

Brace yourself, this is a long one.

But first ---- hoping you all are feeling great and well today! Today's the first of October and I can smell really nice things happening today and for the rest of the month! It's a little drizzly this morning {all the more it's a battle to get up from the bed ha ha} but a girl's gotta do what she oughta to and more. I'm still a bit dazed and my eyes are still swollen from crying from last night's screening of Perks of Being a Wallflower but nothing makeup can't fix!

And today, we talk about Japanese-inspired shoes.

Fashion designers and department store brands have all been the rage in the last five years. We've all heard of when Lanvin teamed up with H&M, when Mulberry did that with Target and Alice and Olivia with Payless. Most of those never reached the shores of Manila so I am quite the happy girl that we have our own version of that: Rajo Laurel x Parisian x Milanos(the men's line of shoes of SM).

I was lucky to have been one of the first ones to witness the unveiling of his Japanese collection, his second for SM Parisian. Over the years, Parisian has definitely evolved and look at these now! The shoes are beyond gorgeous I already knew what I wanted from afar! I've always wanted to go back to Tokyo after all the movies and the trips and the colorful culture that they have. I'm saving up for it but for now, I'm thankful I'm brought to Japan by Japanese-inspired shoes!
