Shoe Organizing

I actually don't own a lot of pair (that's why my sisters and I are planning a trip to Liliw, Laguna this month), but the very few that I have are in such a mess and though shameful to admit, how they are stored are really kadiri. Just look:

I can't believe I haven't thrown out those very old, very dirty pair of slippers before today! What was I thinking?! I have been telling myself again and again that I will organize my shoes but I haven't gotten around to actually doing it until today. 

A few weeks ago, my sister Lhai introduced me to http://www.shopthiseasy.com/ and there I found the cheapest plastic shoe box organizer priced at only Php 29.00 each! 

I immediately asked her to place my order of 10 shoe boxes alongside hers so we could avail of the free shipping promo when you reach Php 1,000 worth of items. She delivered my order last Thursday and today, I finally tidied up my shoes and look at how organized they are now:

I threw away some pairs, gave a few to the yaya next door and kept all the good, usable ones in these wonderful shoe boxes. Now, I feel a lot better because the cluttered stack of shoe boxes before are now an eyesore no more.

New Finds - shoes

My bestfriend Mhy arrived from Singapore last Saturday. She'll be here on vacation until the 30th.

Me and Mhy have so much in common and one of them is our love for shoes. =) We're not very particular with brands so long as it fits us, it's comfy, it's cute. Given that I now live closer to her home here in the Philippines (Tondo, Manila) and our homes are just a ride away from Divisoria (the tiangge capital of the Philippines), we just cannot resist the urge to shop. 

So, on Sunday afternoon, we met and went to Divisoria. She needs to buy a few things to bring back to SG because she said things are super expensive in SG compared to here. She's supposed to buy work pants, lots of blouses and shoes. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a pair of pants that fits her well, I think we just bought one or two pairs. Then we're off to 168 Mall to buy blouses. I knew of a stall there that sells nice tops, be it for work or for leisure, at very reasonable prices. But, because we arrived there at 7:30pm, most of the stalls are already closed including the stall that I'm talking about. 

So, we just went around to look for shoes. It's quite hard to scout around since some of the stalls are closing already. Then, we chanced upon one stall that sells quite a lot of pairs of shoes. We immediately made our selections, asked for our sizes and bought and bought. I bought three pairs and Mhy had four pairs. Talk about hoarding! Haha! We even had a pair of the same design but of different colors, Mhy bought the purple one and I bought the cream one. No worries because we didn't spend a lot on these shoes, after a little haggling we got each pair for the price of 200 pesos each (that's about 4 dollars each). Quite a bargain!!
