As most of you who have been around Style Manila for, at least, the past couple of months know, I went to spend the holidays in the land down under. I was originally scheduled to stay until March, however, due to unforeseen events, my trip was unfortunately cut short. In light of this, I had immersed myself in a splurge that shocked even the manic shopper in me.

However, something useful came out of my, otherwise, foolish endeavour of spending wads and wads of money in 6 weeks — my very first article as a Contributing Editor over at Best Life Australia aptly titled, Shopping in Australia: Adelaide.

Best Life Australia is an online magazine for anyone looking for inspiration in this beautiful land Down Under.

It’s a fantastic opportunity which I grabbed to further spread my wings in the world of fashion blogging. It’s the niche that I’m most passionate about and had helped catapult me into problogging, anyway.

Looking back to the fruits of my shopping spree in Adelaide:

Harbour Town
Meet Zoe
Retro Sunnies by LuLu
The ESPRIT Canvas Tote and it’s in Pink!

And a few other things that I failed to feature, simply because I was uninspired to take photos and write at the time of purchase. Heh.

Do humour me by checking out the article, Shopping in Australia: Adelaide. Perhaps it’ll be useful for you folks planning on taking a trip to the land down under, particularly in Adelaide. I’m sure you’ll spend a day or two shopping. Anyway, let me know what you think or, at least, say hi! We’d appreciate your visit!
