SHOEpper's Guide 7: Subic Free Port Outlet Stores

It was better than I expected.:)

From the hotel, 



to the surroundings, 



the restaurants



...and the outlet stores.

My trip to Subic was all worth it. 

I managed to squeeze in some ample time to check out these pleasant surprises during my business trip recently.

I knew that duty-free shopping was something not to miss here. 

But no one told me about the numerous outlet stores within the vicinity.

Not that I'm complaining.

In fact, these stores made my visit worth while. Haha!


I totally forgot about the three-hour long drive going to the Subic Free Port in Pampanga when I was greeted by this huge Nike Outlet Store at one of the gas stations.


It had one of the most extensive collections to date. I actually saw several items which I liked.


Check out this quirky orange number. It has my name written on it. Haha!


This black hi-cut had neon yellow specs on it. A sure stand-out even on broad day light.


Look at these walkers. Could use all three colors.:)


Just across the street and beside my ever beloved Starbucks is yet another outlet store which boasts of a huge Adidas line.


The whopping discounts were too much for me to take!


Eye candies for SHOEpaholics like me.:)

A few meters away at the Pure Gold Duty Free Shop, I saw these stores:


Good thing I didn't have my Mom with me. Haha!


You must not miss the last season's finds here.


There were just sales everywhere!


And the choices were simply divine!



Fierce finds.

There were also some neat shops inside the Royal Subic Duty-Free Hub, like Adidas, Lacoste and other foreign brands.

Despite the presence of all these stores, I decided to pass on these great deals, as part of my promise for the month of July.

Worry not though because in a week's time, the SHOEpaholic will be free to go on a shopping rampage once more. :)

My Online Birthday WishList: Toms Edition

In a few weeks time, I will finally turn 30. On August 12 to be exact.



Not bad actually. (Hey, segue, check out this neat cake from Adidas. Would love to have one. Haha!)

Age was never an issue for me. As long as I look like a 24 year old, I'm good.

Ok, please bear with me. Birthday anxieties.

And it's not helping that I have made a promise to my two friends that I won't buy any pair of shoes for the whole month of July.

It's now the 20th. 11 days more to go.

But darn it, how can I not turn insane when I'm currently in Subic for work, where apparently, there are lots of outlet stores?!

How cruel can fate get?

How much more can a SHOEpaholic like me take? Seeing discounts  up to 70% off  left and right is driving me nuts!

So here I am now, retreating to my safety haven, at a nearby Starbucks branch.

Just to kill time before I start working, I decided to make my online wish list.

It was actually my friends' idea. They wanted to know what I wanted for my birthday.



Well, apart from a million dollars and a plane ticket to my choice destination, I would settle for any of these pairs from TOMS, if not all. Haha!

In no particular order (pageant much?!):

I have fallen in love with Toms since I got my first pair. Three pairs after, I can't seem to have enough. This rust hemp cordones would be a nice addition to my collection. I wonder what color its laces are. 


This green ewing is cool to the eyes. I would love to wear this on a hot sunny day.


I already saw this linen pinstripe cordones upclose, and my,my, it looks good with a pair of khaki shorts and plain top with its laid-back vibe. 

This is my wildcard pick, a new release: the burgundy houndstooth. Quirky. Reminds me of Christmas.

Anyway, these are just some of the pairs I want. But then again, I still have a couple of days left before I can finally shop again. Darn it. Haha.

NOTE:

* This entry was supposed to be posted last week during my stay in Subic. But due to technical difficulties, I wasn't able to upload it (darn browser wouldn't upload pics). At present, I am currently in class terrorizing my students with my midterm exam. Haha! 

Oh, and I'm a size 9 for the cordones and the slip ons from TOMS for those asking. *winks
