Renegade Folk's Got Something for Moms

If you're still racking your brains, thinking of what to give Mom on Mother's Day, I would suggest a no fail present: Renegade Folk sandals.

I've never met anyone who isn't in love with her own pair/s. I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to add another pair to her collection. Take it from me, I've got 4 pairs, and running.

To make that Mother's Day pair extra special, consider this. You can bundle that pair with a Renegade Folk exclusive, a framed print made in collaboration with illustrator Jamie Catt,

and designer/calligrapher Anina Rubio.

Now, here's a sweet deal. This bundle of sandals + framed art retail for only Php2950.

But use my coupon code Momsday2015cd and you'll get 10% OFF this bundle, or any purchase made at www.renegadefolk.com. Take note, this framed print, and this bundle, and this coupon code is only available throughout the month of May!

A little Mother's Day treat from this mother to you!

What's Up, Ankle Strap

I am totally in love with this look!  

The first time I went out with Dada, I wore a pair of ankle strap heels from Kenneth Cole. I still have it. Berry specifically asked me if she could have my "high heels". I tell Berry to take care of it because that's what I wore when I first met Dada. I should take a photo para you can see. It's still nice up to now. 

Good thing I kept it. It's so hot this season! As in smokin'! There's an ankle strap for everyone, from Lola, to Tita, to y tu Mama tambien! Check these out yo! All from net-a-porter:

 

Gucci - for your sister, because she's tired of all those predictable neutral heeled sandals

 

Chloe- for Sofia Coppola, because I can totally see her in these

 

Alexander Wang - for your high school best friend who has a weakness for "look at me" shoes

 

Nicholas Kirkwood - for you, yes, for you!

 

Marni - Lola will love these because of the chunkier than usual heel

 

Saint Laurent - for your disco loving Tita

RED Valentino - for your girly tween who now wears the same size of shoes as you

 

Givenchy - for your chic cousin who is always impeccably dressed

 

Esteban Cortazar - for your neighbor whose style icon is J. Lo

 

Givenchy - for your understated but always glamorous Mom

 

Pierre Hardy - for your artsy best friend who hates that you hate color

Fifty Shades of Brown

Vanessa Bruno tank, H&M trousers, Isabel Marant sandals 

It was a particularly warm day so I thought of wearing something loose and heat friendly so I pulled out a tank top I bought over three years ago. Paired it with pants I bought back in 2007 for probably about $15 - which makes this pair about 5 years old. Oldies but goodies!

When you're wearing brown from top to bottom, the fail-proof footwear would be nude shoes. So I thought my Isabel Marant Merry sandals would be the perfect pair to wear.

Jelly Nelly

Jelly shoes and sandals are a fun alternative to flip flops, and tad bit more stylish of course.

But not all jelly shoes and sandals are made the same. I remember wearing cheap jelly glitter sandals from Marks & Spencer, which I would step out in, back in college during rainy days. I had them as flats (my then five year old sister had the same pair, we bought our jellies in the children's section of M&S haha) and another pair was heeled. Remember these? 90s flashback!

I have the pricier but yummy smelling Melissa sandals which come in the brightest colors and now I have Jelly Nelly Dani sandals, which are so comfy that the plastic doesn't rub into the feet at all. Plus they come in hues like clear, gray and turquoise.

Plus, its made out of Eco Jelly - "the latest technology in material composition that follows the safest and strictest standards, making sure it does not cause harm to the environment."

It's really cute, and beach perfect. Especially if you're not the aqua socks wearing type and want something more feminine. It goes with everything too, shorts, tunic dresses, even jeans if you wear a pair in the city.

The thing with Eco Jelly though, and I don't know if other Jelly Nelly owners have the same experience, is that it kind of starts to smell funky when not exposed to air. When I got my Jelly Nelly sandals, I kept them inside the plastic packaging and stored them in my closet. A couple of weeks later, when I took them out to wear, it sort of smelled, and I know it's not my feet because it's a brand new pair no! Heehee. Other than that, I have no complaints! They're affordable (only Php845/pair) and cute, so what's not to like!

Plus, they have little girl sizes so your Mini Me can wear the same pair as yours (although little girl sizes come in prettier colors like light blue, lavender and pink)!

Jelly Nelly is available at select boutiques in Metro Manila, Bacolod, Cebu and online via Mothering Earthlings. For the complete list of physical stores, click HERE!

Ladies Salt-Water Sandals at Soon Lee

Naomi and I love our Salt-Water sandals and we get a kick out of wearing matching pairs with our daughters. We think Salt-Waters are the perfect summer sandal because there's no need to bring an extra pair of shoes or slippers when the day calls for swimming. Salt-Water sandals are waterproof, and salt water proof, in fact! Hence the name.

I also like wearing my Salt-Water sandals when its raining, especially in rainy Singapore. I don't have to worry about my shoes getting wet in the rain. Much better and dressier than wearing flip flops too!

So I am super happy to share ladies, that Salt-Water sandals in ladies sizes are now available in Singapore at Soon Lee on Haji Lane! So when you are in the Bugis area, and specifically on Haji Lane, make sure to drop by the store!

Soon Lee is the sister store of Rockstar by Soon Lee in Cathay Cineleisure by Orchard Road, on Grange Road. Like Rockstar, Soon Lee is well-curated and filled with great finds from all over.

Girls, get your Salt-Water sandals at Soon Lee this summer! These are going to be your warm and rainy weather wardrobe staple, promise!
