Over the years, Tumblr users have skyrocketed. It's so popular that a lot of kids, teens and hip…read moreyuppies get inspiration from Tumblr blogs. May it be photography, quotes, memes, gifs, art, pop culture, style and most especially fashion. My friend actually introduced my sister and I to Fashion Market. After learning about it, we go there every time were at this mall. Fashion Market is split into 2 sides on the mall - the left and the right. I suggest going through all stores. It can take hours though, haha, but you won't regret it. They have every style and trend you'd typically see on Tumblr, fashion blogs, Youtube beauty channels and fashion week! Inside, you'll also find spas, salons, money changers and ATM's. The prices range from super inexpensive to normal clothing price rates. A lot of stores sell super hip shoes, clothes, hats, shades and even prom dresses and traditional Filipino costumes. Definitely check out these stores I frequent when you're there - (right side) Push Thru, Mastermind Chase and Muradito, (left side) Nava, Berca and Ballow. Happy shopping! :)

Ever since Jennyfer opened in SM North EDSA, I rushed towards it…read more Originally established in Paris, Jennyfer is one of those rock-and-roll style yet chic, updated and urban-ish shops for girls. Sounds rare? Because they are. Whoever Ms. Jennyfer is, I thank her for a great store. Jennyfer has done black, one of my best colors, justice and outgrew the usual rockstar princess look. They weaved it for women to look their best through quality, hip, and modern clothes. Well, it all depends on how you style and mix-match, but Jennyfer possesses almost all the right pieces. I personally like their jumpers, crop tops, and black jackets. Go on and find your style and rock it, Jennyfer style.

The place to go in Manila for handmade leather shoes for gentlemen…read more Great craftsmanship, beautiful products and a manager who is not in it for the big money but for the satisfaction of giving a wonderful product to the customer. Really worth a visit, even though Marikina is not next e.g. to Makati. Indeed, some hope that not all is lost in Marikina's once famous shoe industry. Good luck to the Black Wing team for the future.

This place is located close to the hotel I am staying at, which means I'm here all the time. This…read moreplace is huge! I'm visiting from the U.S. and all the malls here are huge. This department store has around 4 or 5 floors. They have a wide variety of things here. From clothes to luggage to perfume and jewelry to toys. There's so much here that you will find something you need or didn't even think of wanting to buy. They have a lot of good deals and things go on sale all the time. There's so much here that it might take you a while just to walk around and see everything. I found a lot of nice clothes and toys for pasalubong. They also have a market on the lower level and a food court. They pretty much have everything you're looking for here.

I can't remember how many times I've been to the Landmark since I moved to Manila. I guess it was…read morethe first store my husband showed me. I remember that entering there was like a baptism, a début. I could almost hear the voice over: "Welcome, Danyella! This is the one and only Landmark! Here you'll find EVERYTHING you may need from now on. And for a cheaper price!". Did I say EVERYTHING? Yes, because that's exactly the feeling you have when you enter the Landmark. I just cannot decide where to look at. All products catch my attention. It's crazy. I'll give you a short list of what I already bought there, so you can feel the vibe: a Hello Kitty towel as a monito monita gift; a beautiful tea pot; maternity clothes; comfortable shoes; baby onesies; underwear; step ladders to reach high shelves; cute notebooks; toiletries; Instax instant film; scarfs; bags; a wallet; table linens and much more items. Oh, and I can't forget to mention the grocery. It's cheaper than Rustan's and even SM and you can find great variety. TIP: They sell Santis's meats and cold cuts at Landmark! I highly recommend it because of the quality. It's great to have this facility, so I don't have to split my grocery list anymore and go to Santis Deli at Rockwell.

They love their mall culture in the Philippines and it reminds me of the early 80's in the US when malls were still packed with visitors and peeps keeping up with joneses. Tried some small Chinese spot that was like a poor man's Din Tai Fung and the food was good. Want to say it was on the 2nd level. Hope to visit again soon when I'm in BGC again.

What I very much appreciate about SOMA Stores is that it promotes local designers and brands. It's…read morepure heaven for the eccentric and anyone who's on the look out for alternative clothing or anyone who just absolutely loves fashion. Every now and then, they change their line up to accommodate other brands and designers. They cater to folks who could be a cross between edgy and trendy, too. I think I just fell in love with absolutely almost all the black and white pieces I saw there during Manila Fashion Festival. It houses some of the more known brands such as Proud Race, The Artisan, and Slaves Øf Liberty to name a few. They also host art and music events which you have to attend as well! Not only do you get to meet the artists but you meet like-minded people in and out of the industry.

Local indie brands and designers are finally getting a tastes of the limelight thanks to SOMA…read moreStores at Green Sun Hotel. It's basically a treasure trove of local finds--from clothing down to accessories and is every bit modern. I generally like shopping more well-known retail brands in bigger malls, but there's something about shopping at a place like SOMA that makes the purchase feel a bit more worthwhile and worth the buck. It could also be that the designers and brands featured here (Artisan Clothing and Proud Race just to name a few) have super edgy aesthetics that nothing you ever purchase will have a similar replica walking down the mall. But depending on the brand's consignment agreement, they may either operate on bi-monthly or quarterly terms, or shorter three to four day stints. Support local and don't forget to bring your cash (mostly because they don't accept card and debit payments)!

Located in Ayala Center in Makati, this very popular department store is very well known all around…read moreThe Philippines. Very family friendly place that has a lot to offer. Parking can be found here, but I don't suggest you drive in Manila as traffic can be mentally exhausting. If you have a driver, he will know exactly where to park at SM. The Store is filled with everything you need for yourself, your home, your family, friends, pets. SM is growing with products it's unbelievable! Products are either locally made items to luxury brands from all around the world. From perfumes, cologne, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions. It was a little hard for me to sample something then move on to the next fragrance counter as there is so much to see all around the mall. What was most important is that the Foreign Exchange Counter was found on the Men's Floor of the department store. It was operated by BDO Bank and they offered a very competitive exchange rate. Also In the basement of the mall, you'll find SM Supermarket. They will have all your household items, snacks, food items, anything you forgot to pack for your trip such as toiletries. I honestly can't remember which floor it was, but there is a wing that connects you from SM to Glorietta Mall. It's the floor where one of the coffee shops were located either 2F or 3F. Happy shopping!!!

I'm not from around these parts but I've been to a few SM since my first visit in '88. This place…read moreis so bright. So there is a full sized grocery store here with food stalls lined up after paying at the grocery register. The escalator belt down and up from the grocery allows use of the carts (no escalator steps). There is a home appliance SM center. There is a toy store SM. There is a SM beauty store. Other brand stores are there too. I can go on and on. This will have most of what your looking for all in a multi level SM mall. It is right next to the MRT and other malls in Makati with plenty of parking. Every SM has at least two employees within earshot that'll be able to help at moment's notice.
