BRANDED ka ba?

[~ ka [3] na ~]

Tops - Not really. I find the branded tops too simple and too expensive.
Shoes - Yes. I am a shoeaholic so I prefer branded ones. Aldo, Steve M, Stella Luca are some of my fave for stylish shoes and Janylin for office ones. I also buy abroad.
Jeans - Yes. One brand-Mango. Simply because that's the only brand where I can find jeans that fit me perfectly. Im petite kasi. =)
Underwear - I love VS and LaSenza.
Dresses - Mango and Zara's dresses always catch my attention. But unbranded one don't hurt too.
Bags - Variety. I Have bags that cost for as low as P250 to as high as P100K. =)

This topic is nice because you will realize how blessed you are and know from other comments what are the quality brands.

[Analene3]

Ako, I'm not a brand conscious. But If I find something really nice yet too expensive, I find the time to think or sometimes, I don't, I just buy it when I'm really in love with it or when I have the money. Pero there are times rin that I like signature clothes But overall, I'm ok with anything. Its fine with me to buy clothes in Divi or elsewhere.

[berna15]

hindi masyado. sa pants lang ako conscious.

[icy_ace]

i am not a brand conscious ...kahit ano...except sa bag... i love GUESS and COACH.

[ettevyvi]

NO. as long as i like the quality and the style, no matter how cheap/expensive it is and how unbranded it is.

unless its makeup of course. i spend waaay too much with it, and iilan lang ang di branded.

isa pa, unemployed pa ako and we are not filthy rich so hindi din pwede ang maging brand conscious.

[princessa bratinella]

i don't think i am brand concious. kung 'keri' ko yung style, i buy it. if im comfortable with it, i buy it. if i really need it, i buy it. im ok shopping at the mall, online or at tiangges like greenhills or divi.

clothes: i usually buy local brands like bench, unica hija, kamiseta & bayo. buy pinoy, support our flailing economy.

shoes/sandals: ipanema, cmg & since my mom is a dealer - i have lots of mse & natasha sandals too.

bags: girbaud & jansport

timepieces: guess & swatch

skincare/cosmetics: dove, skinwhite, iwhite, j&j, baylis & harding, aveeno, myra e, avon, maybelline, lancome & elianto. i stick to what is 'hiyang'.

perfume: nenuco for everyday use, bulgari blu & lacoste touch of pink for special occasions, night time or when im feeling extra kikay.

[mharickar]

clothes: oo super!! kasi quality naman yung habol ko kahit na medyo pricey ok naman..years din ang abot sakin..once bumili ako ng fake na polo, di ko feel..as in!! wahaha.. i prefer unbranded kesa sa fake..hehe..

shoes: oo din..except lang yung nabili ko sa market2, pero lahat branded din..

perfume: oo..pero di naman yug mga signature perfumes, medyo lang..hehe..ok na ko for everyday use yung sa penshoppe or herbench

bags: oo din..wala lang di ko talaga feel ang fake..parang di ka magiging proud na suot mo sya..hehe..

skin care: oo..mahirap na...

but now naaaditct ako sa hehe...

[gilenn]

tops: doesn't matter if its branded or not. I usually buy at tiangge and department store.

jeans: department store lang din. there are brands there that are not over the top.

shoes: siguro local brands

watch: this is an investment so branded talaga

I'd rather buy local brands or from tiangge as long as I don't buy imitations din. It looks like you're trying too hard. It also depends if you're buying a classic piece like a white crisp shirt or watch, you need to invest in those. Like what I read in a magazine minimal or classic clothes are the things you should splurge on kase it's timeless.

[tinnnnn076]

when it comes to bags  jeans and shoes, i go for the branded ones 'coz quality is way better than of those that can be found in tiangge and these are the stuffs that i'm gonna use for a long time.
tops- branded or not ok lang.
make-up- local or imported. di naman ako adik sa make-up
skincare-doesn't matter too as long as it suits me well.
lingerie-from greenhills to so-en to triumph.
watches-q&q, esprit, guess, omax
perfume and colognes-may for everyday use na local such as scents and blends and branded for special occasion

[elarose]

kung carry ng budget..why not? kung hindi, hindi ko rin pinipilit..

[lizlikes]

hi! have stopped being brand conscious after visiting bankok. before i was hording stuff from mango. i only buy brands on shoes (like kenneth cole and nike) because my feet are prone to blisters. =)

[maricar14]

Previously, I am not brand conscious when it comes to clothes and other kikay stuff. If I like it, I buy it. I have stuff that I buy from Tiangge, from Department stores, from boutiques here and overseas.

For gadgets, I am brand conscious.

Lately though, I noticed that I am starting to have preference for branded stuff. I now prefer LV bags, I buy branded dresses, and am stuck on Coco Chanel perfume. I guess it comes with age and spending power? hehe

[pinkloverforever]

i'm not really brand conscious. it doesn't mean naman that if the thin is branded it is better than the unbranded ones. as long as i like it i buy maski saan pa galing yan.

[fashion_addict]

I have a penchant for unbranded dresses like the ones from bangkok. super stylish, though halata minsan pag tiangge clothing talaga.

well, nasa nagdadala lang din talaga.

But for bags, I buy branded ones. I go for quality kasi. And it will always be useful to me because branded bags will always have a market value.

For tanks and sandos, i used to buy from tiangges but after some time, it becomes either too soggy- looking, overstretched or faded. so i buy from topshop or dorothy perkins

Here's mine:

bags- Louis Vuitton, Crumpler, Kipling, Prada, Longchamp, Charles and Keith

footwear- nike, havaianas, sanuk, people are people brands

jeans- mossimo, dorothy perkins, zara (i want a pair from 7 jeans for all mankind. project ko one day.

tees- lacoste, dorothy perkins, topshop, david and goliath, tiangge ones

dresses- from bangkok

undies- bench, avon. i used to be brand conscious with undies. Marks and spencers before. ambilis lang masira

wallet- prada, kipling

shades- armani, roberto cavalli (i want a gucci or prada one day!)

make- ups: ay eto, brand conscious ako. it's my addiction din kasi. YSL, Chanel, MAC, Kryolan, Bobbi Brown, Nars, Illamasqua, Sephora Brand, Benefit, Shu Uemura, Guerlain

cologne: bbw and vs

perfumes: faves: davidoff, lanvin, stella mccartney

**But if i'm tight on cash, then off- limits sa branded.

[chicnsassy]
