On this side of the metro, The Fort High Street, is where one of my dreams just came true. Claire's, a popular US brand of accessories and my staple accessory brand during my childhood years has finally opened in Manila! Man, I can't help but smile as I go around the area-that moment, I felt like a ten year old again!
The first thing I looked for inside the store are these: The weekly earrings set, as popularized by Claire's. My uncle, who's residing in the USA, would always send me a ton of these when I was younger! Do you still remember those round, colorful, button earrings made from rubber with thin spikes all over? They have it here! :D
Ha! Spotted! Sticker earrings! Couldn't help but chuckle when I saw this. Can anyone say Kindergarten and Preparatory years? :D
Whimsical wall- mounted and tabletop accessories organizers to put your trinkets in order!
Click READ MORE and let's go around the store!
High- knee socks for fashionable little girls...
as well as suspenders that will even fit the young at heart!
They also have themed collections inside. We have here the Hello Kitty collection, and the other one is inspired by the hit boy band One Direction.
I have this certain fondness for toy crowns because as a kid I used to believe that I was a princess who was just separated from her royal family at birth. (Blame it on my love for the cartoon movie Anastacia)
This crown has just reminded me that I'm turning 25 next week!
Here are my most favorite items in the store: Character glasses!
There are a looot of moustache- inspired accessories in Claire's-like really.
Can I has cheezeburger?
Wassup doc?
Channeling my inner Lady Gaga-slash-Audrey Hepburn.
There are so many wonderful things inside, so I'll just leave them for you to discover. Lastly, here's what I went home with:
Of course I had to buy the weekly earrings sets! :D
Cutesy hair stuff, a set of beaded necklace from the little girls' section, and a gold clic-clac bangle.
That's all! Hope you enjoyed this post. :)
