Those Tough Times

I VERY MUCH REGRET HAVING BEEN SO FRUGAL with shopping back in London where constant converting back to Pesos left me averse to anything costing more than two digits. Save for a cardigan and some trousers Jaime bought to get me through the oddly chillier summer, I bought nothing.

I do regret not picking up a slew of items at AllSaints, whose sleek edge would fit perfectly into my very feminine wardrobe and add a bit of long-needed tough.

Then again, it's not like I can wear leather pants and fur in 32-degree Manila.
