Okay, I admit it, I am a shoe lover slash shoe addict. Hence, when I was in grade 2, I started wearing sandals / heels for special occasions or event at school.

And I started loving them more when I was in high-school. And when I reached college days, when we were allowed to wear whatever shoes / sandals that we want, I always wear high heeled shoes. And even now, working as an office girl, high heels have been my dear bestfriends. I find happiness every time I wear them. But honestly, high-heeled shoes are not COMFORTABLE, there's a saying goes "Tiis ganda", yes you have to endure the pain when you are walking and those calluces that you might get specially when you're shoes are new. And yet, it will get worse when you knew that your new pair of high-heels will suddenly gives you a lot of pain after walking on it for just an half an hour or the worst thing is, when (mapipilay ka pa pag natapilok ka). I'm guilty of compromising COMFORT whenever I see gorgeous pair of high heels.

That's why I told myself, when will be the time that I will look for something else that will give comfort on my feet? Why shouldn't I give it a try to change my style and go for a bit ragged look? Then I make up my mind and said to myself that I will soon buy a pair 

(when I have money na) of sneakers / rubber shoes, so whenever I will be at the field, no more pain and calluces! 

Good thing is, ZIPZ shoes came to my way! Multiply was so generous to give 3 pairs to 3 persons last time they had their promo, and fortunately, I am one of the winners!

(Sorry, it took so loooong before I was able to post a review about the shoes, I waited for the day that I can wear the shoes so I can tell it to you guys if the shoes are comfortable or not).

Well anyway here it is. The shoes arrived at home last June 16,2012. I wasn't the one who received this since I am on my way to TBJ Meet and Greet at the moment that it has arrived. So it was mom who received the packaged, the courier even told her that  our house are too far away from the city and it was his first time to reached our town! (lol, we live in Rizal kuya, sorry!).

The shoe box is very thick, which is a must so the shoes will not be deformed.

Tentenenen. Fresh from the box!

I chose this Dragon Roze Slip On adult.

 The zipper :) What an amazing idea right?

 The back view, I really love the "Z" logo there!

Closer look to the design.

The logo at the insole.

 Isn't it amazing that even the out sole has embellishment?

The zipper :)

Here's how it looks like when worn:

It's moi, looks so haggard! This was after work. It's my second time wearing the shoes! See I am not wearing socks here, and take note, I did not get any blisters or any foot ache :)

It has  interchangeable cover in white, which I can use alternately with the Dragon Roze cover. When I wanted to be simple and plain I'll go for the white cover, but when I wanted to look more chic and add some details on my outfit I'll definitely go with the Dragon Roze cover!

Changing my shoe cover!

Gross! Hehe, ang dumi yata ng paa ko nung sinuot ko sya. Anyway, here's how it looks like when the shoe cover was removed.

Verdict:

If you are asking about my honest opinion about the shoes, it is COMFORTABLE, COOL and UNIQUE. No need for me to wear socks. Honestly saying, when I was riding on the jeepney, some of the passengers even the college student near our office can't stop looking at my shoes. I know it was their first time to see this kind of shoes. And yeah, i feel so mayabang, pero a little lang naman. hehe I feel cool whenever I wear this, cause it's unique naman talaga. And very practical to use because the covers are washable! Which is a must since we are experiencing rainy season.

Recommendation:

Yes! I do recommend it to everyone. To students, workers or anyone. If you want to be more unique with this interchangeable shoes, go for it! You will definitely love this shoes! And take note, even famous celebrities in U.S wear this like:

Glee Star Harry Shum

American Idol, David Archuleta

Wizards of Waverly Place Maria Canals

Twilight cast Jackson Rathbone

Cool right?

Fantastic Monday!: I won ZIPZ Shoes from Multiply.com!

Ho ho ho! We are all back to work today, long weekend is over! But hey, I still have hang-over from weekend happiness. You know why? Because it was just another GREAT and NICE Monday for me! The Reason why, Because I won another giveaway!

Last week, I joined the giveaway on "Zipz Shoes"  as part of Multiply.com's promo! Aren't they generous?? They will be giving 3 pairs, one pair each to 3 winners that will be drawn randomly via rafflecopter (3 winners every Friday!). And fortunately, during their first draw, I am one of the 3 winners!

The very first time that I saw the shoe-brand, (click here for to see the infommercial) I am totally amazed on the design of the shoes. Why? Because ZIPZ Shoes are the world's first sneakers with interchangeable covers! Isn't it sounds amazing?? Honestly, it was the very first time that I have ever seen this kind of shoe design.

 It was created in the US, wherein a mix and match rubber shoes that comes with a classic canvas colors and fashionable prints that you can wear to any occasion. With three different basic shoe designs you can go from a low-top shoe to a high-top shoe, to a slip on in under a minute!  You can choose whatever design that will suit your personality! 

Here are the few samples:

ADULT 6-EYE

ADULT SLIP-ON / ZIP-ON
This is the one that I've picked.

YOUTH SLIP-ON / ZIP-ON

TODDLER T-STRAP

Once you have the shoes and still wanted to have the other designs, you can buy the COVER ONLY (thrifty idea right?).

YOUTH HI-TOP COVER-ONLY

YOUTH SLIP-ON / ZIP-ON COVER ONLY

I am just so happy that I am one of the 3 winners! I am planning to buy a pair of rubber shoes once I have spare moolah so I can use it whenever I am in the field (processing work permits and going to cell sites), it's inappropriate naman kasi di ba, If I will wear wedges or high-heels if I'll do a lot of walking, right? (Oh, I can still remember when we were on the field at SM Sta.Mesa, I accompanied my workmates to do the commissioning on the site, it was located at the 8th floor, at the tower van , we climb in a very narrow stairs, and guess what I am wearing at that time,yeah, I was wearing dress and sling back-flats, nyay! And every time I process permits, maghapong lakaran, tapos nakaheels aketch, aray!  lol) So  ZIPZ Shoes is the answer to my dilemma. The RIGHT and PERFECT pair to wear whenever I am in the field!

I just wanted to grab this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank the guys behind the "ZIPZ Shoes"especially Ms.Maurice (the one who manages the ZIPZ Shoes account in Multiply) for being so nice in informing me on how to claim my prize and of course to Multiply.com, which has been my favorite online shop.

Online Haul - Astra Bag from The Bag Department

I've been looking for affordable satchel bag online. I told myself that I am going to buy one if it will cost around 600-700 pesos. I wanted to have one, not for "porma" purposes but, I need a bag which is quite big and have enough space for documents (for work purposes). And finally I saw this online shop at Multiply named "The Bag Department". They are on "Back to School" Sale and this bag caught my attention. Really love at first sight. And because of the promising description of the bag, It sold me out!

Price: P600.00 (on sale original price at P1,200)

Bought: Online (The Bag Department at Multiply)

Shipping Fee: Free (+P28.00)

What they say about the bag:

So, I grabbed the chance after knowing that it was originally price at P1000+, and it is now P600 only! Such a steal right?? I made the payment on Monday (Jun 4) and The BD messaged me saying that I'll received the bag after 3-5 days since I am in provincial area (Rizal). But I was surprised that it arrived home last Friday (June 8) so it only accumulated 2 days.

And here's my package:

Sent thru LBC! Suki na!

So nice to know that they treat my package as FRAGILE.

A sweet message from The Bag Department. (Sorry, I don't have a good camera to take the shot)
The message:
Thank you for your purchase.
We hope you enjoy using your bag for years to come.

The Astra Buckle Handbag in Pink

TBD tag. So cute, I'll keep this as remembrance!

This is how it looks like inside, it does not have lot's of compartments but it has enough space for my documents, umbrella and grooming kit!

It has magnetic snaps, too bad, it has stained (has iron stain inside it). :(

But still it is cute! Specially the pink and long bag strap!

And one more thing, thou it is a "fragile" item, the bag has been deformed during the transit. :( I think I need to load it up until it becomes bulky so the dented area will soon disappear, but I am afraid to do that because I found out that the handle's stitch were too thin and weak. I should not load it with heavy stuffs inside.


You can barely see the dented area on the bag because of the low resolution of the picture, but in personal you can see it obviously.

The bag strap is adjustable.

Another funny thing, when they sent me my tracking number (via XEND), this is what I saw when I tracked my item. LOL:

I was totally laughing when I saw my misspelled surname. But it's okay, I've been into this thing since when I was in grade school, my teachers and classmates always misspelled and mispronounced it. So not a big thing.


Verdict on the bag?
I used it last Sunday, I loaded it with my umbrella, small bible, song book and 2 thin magazines. And upon checking it, I saw that the bag strap handle's stitches aren't good (too thin) so it is not advisable to put and loaded lots of stuffs inside. And also, they said that the bag is made up of Sustainable Smooth Bonded Lambskin, Thick and Sturdy Material, but I disagree, because the bag is too light in weight and has low quality. :(
Just wanted to be true here, I am a bit disappointed, I've been purchasing online for almost 5 times, and this happen to be the disappointing one.

I already noted it to them, the issue about the bag (the deforming and stained on magnetic snap) and this what they told me:


Hi Jen! We are sorry to hear about the package getting deformed during transit. We hope you will accept our apologies along with a special voucher worth Php200 which you can use in our multiply store. To avail yourself of this discount, just enter 200OFF under discount code at checkout. Voucher is valid until July 10, 2012. Thank you and again, apologies for what happened. :) 



Nonetheless, I still love the bag. And I am thankful to The Bag Department for asking for an apology and giving me a special voucher.
Sana lahat ng sellers online,ganito yung attitude, na after you received the product you ordered from them, and found out that there's something wrong with it or any defects, hindi ka nila tatakbuhan or they not going to ignore your complaints. So still, thank you The Bag Department for the smooth transaction!

Lesson Learned,
Wag padala sa love at first sight. hehe.


That's all!
Thank you for reading guys!
Thank you to holiday din today I am able to make this post dahil wala akong pasok sa work until tomorrow.

Ooops, but a thing surprises me today! I won another promo / contest from Multiply shop! Will post it soon!

xoxo,
JENNY
