My First Pair of Custom-Made Havaianas

Make Your Own Havaianas 2014

I only found out last weekend about this yearly Make Your Own Havaianas event where you get to have a hand in designing your pair (or pairs) of Havaianas.

Although I usually wouldn’t care for a new pair of flip-flops (as they are now fancily called), the idea of having it custom-made sounded fun. So I went with my sister and her family to catch the last few hours of Make Your Own Havaianas 2014 exhibit at the activity center of Glorietta Mall in Makati.

Patterns, Pillows and Curtains in Instagram Photos

On January 17 to January 19, 2014, ARQ Curtains had a clearance sale. My mother and I thought we didn’t need new curtains and pillows at home. Going to the sale on its last day was a last minute decision — a bad one at that. We should’ve gone on the first day when there were more stocks and designs to choose from. Prices were ridiculously low that you would want to re-decorate your whole house and it wouldn’t hurt your budget.

We were told they are going to have another sale some time in November. I’ll be there! You wouldn’t want to miss it too!

I took some photos of the pretty patterns I saw and posted them on Instagram. It’s exciting that modern and updated designs and motifs are not difficult finds anymore. My picks are in the last photo. I keep Angelo Surmelis as my design inspiration.

Pick your pillow.

My picks. Hope the furkids won't notice them.
