Flapper Girl

Does this globe look familiar? If you’re from the Philippines, then I’m sure you know where this globe is located. It’s at the Philippine’s best destination mall, Mall of Asia (MOA)!

It’s called a destination mall because not only does it attract locals, but tourists and vacationers too! How can it not? It’s only THE 2nd biggest mall here in the Philippines, 3rd in Asia, and 5th in the world! With a size as large as that, you’ll never run out of things to do! Of course, I understand a few of you might hesitate to visit MOA precisely biggest of it’s huge size. Allow me to prove you wrong!

As SM Mall of Asia’s “style icon”, I, along with fellow icons David and Tricia, were given a tour around the mall a few weeks back. Like you, I also had this preconceived notion that shopping around a large mall like MOA would give me so much stress and make shopping so tiring. Truth be told, it’s quite the opposite. One of the reasons why this mall is so huge is because of the cut sizes of the stores. It’s not because MOA wanted to squeeze in as many tenants as they can. It’s so that we can feel that we have our own space to move around in. Plus, bigger stores = better visual merchandising, which in turn makes shopping even more fun! I call  this quality shopping!

Now, I know that some of you are also thinking, “won’t I get lost in a huge mall like this? I wouldn’t know where to start!” What’s nice about MOA is that they value zoning in positioning stores. Fashion, sports, kids, home, entertainment and more– all of them are separated into different zones to help you find what you’re looking for faster. Convenient right? The kids can go play at the playground in the kids’ zone. Dad can watch a movie at the IMAX theater. This way, no one gets bored!

If I still haven’t convinced you to pay Mall of Asia a visit, how about this? No, not my giant self staring down at you from the facade of Mall of Asia (or sige na nga, pwede rin, whatever floats your boat)…

I’m actually talking about MOA’s end of season sale which I’ve been blogging and tweeting about this past few weeks! All your favorite brands are on sale until July 15! Shop like crazy for foreign brands like Mango, Zara, Warehouse, Topshop/Topman, Dorothy Perkins, Aldo, Charles & Keith, VNC, GAP and more plus local favorites such as Fino, F&H, Shapes, Bench, Forme, Bayo, Plains & Prints–there are just too many to mention! I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that Uniqlo’s first branch in Manila is at MOA too! (Forever 21 is also opening a branch here soon.) Surely, you won’t go home empty handed! There’s icing on the cake too! You don’t have to worry about carrying all your shopping bags because MOA has a special service for this! It’s called Package Pick-up. A bell boy will come pick your purchases up from the stores you bought them from. When you’re done shopping, you can just claim your purchases at the package pick-up counter. This service is free!!!! EVERY MALL SHOULD HAVE THIS!

So are you on your way to Mall of Asia already? I’ve already done my shopping. (There’s even a video to prove it haha!) You’ve seen the stuff I got which I posted in my previous posts here, here and here. Here’s another one! This time I got my loot from ZARA and of course, they’re part of the end of season sale!

I love the modern twist to this flapper dress! It’s not your ordinary 1920s-inspired dress, right? How can I resist such a beautifully sequined number!

And since tweed is one of my current obsessions, I just had to get this jacket too!

Both my jacket and dress are clearly inspired by old glam but surprisingly, this ensemble looks so youthful and refreshing still. Again, since both are textured, I stayed away from wearing too much accessories–just a simple bracelet, a few rings and the perfect earrings to go with my dress.

    Beautiful ! You’re so beautiful…I searched and read your blog about flapper dress with modern style because our christmas theme is gatsby/1920’s. Any suggestions where I can buy modern flapper dress for me and for my daughter (age 10 years old) thanks in advance

      Hmm I haven’t seen any for a mother daughter tandem so maybe it’s best to buy one for yourself and then have your daughter’s dress made to resemble yours. I haven’t been to the mall lately though so best I can do is guess. try Miss Selfridge/Mango/Zara :)

    I’ve already memorized SM North Edsa (promise!).:) Next stop, MOA! Thanks to you Ms. Camille! Haha. North Edsa is much nearer compared to MOA so I seldom visit the latter. What does MOA have that North Edsa doesn’t?

    From head to toe, your look is always completely gorgeous! And even with simple makeup, you rock :) I have a skin of a morena so I’m quite afraid wearing pastel colors. Aww haha. Anyway, I heart your blog Ms. Camille! Happy shopping to us! :D

      The end of season sale!!! Haha! :) It’s also easier to navigate your way around MOA and they have more services. :) Thanks Arzie! Choose na lang which pastels because there are some that might still work :)

    Love the dress & the tweed jacket! You look gorgeous in it! Reading your blog entry makes me want to visit Mall Of Asia! When I mention Mall of Asia, my mum will always say “it’s the largest mall in the Philippines”, but you say it’s the 2nd largest? does that means there’s another mall which is bigger than Mall of Asia? O.O But visiting Mall of Asia is one of my must do thing when I travel to the Philippines one day to visit my relative! Thanks, Ms Camille! =)

      Thanks Christine! Too bad you’re not here right now! You would’ve loved shopping at MOA! :) The largest mall is SM Northedsa, it used to be MOA but Northedsa kept expanding :)

    Loving everything about this look. Very gorgeous. So pretty, Camille. That’s the reason why been sharing your blogs to friends. One told me yesterday that she hates looking at your photos. But the truth is, she is becoming an impulsive buyer because she loves the way you dress up and she craves having some of your pieces.

    Oh lordy, that flapper dress! You madam, have just made my week a whole lot better. There’s something about vintage that really shows class and style.

    Still have my reservations of going to MoA though. Maybe if just to oogle- appreciate that ginormous poster of you out at their entrance.
