I have to say that for almost 2 months in the States, hindi ko pagpapalit ang mall ng Pinas. Ours is always alive (although minsan sobrang matao) there's just so much things to see and do in the Manilenyo's "second home". Panalo padin ang sinehan natin, sobrang daming food options kahit ano pa budget mo, and lumalaban narin tayo with brand selections. Although may mga covet brands parin na andun lang, and (I think) mas mura parin bilihin doon (lalo na pag sale, pamigay level na talaga!)... When I learned that may H&M na rin dito, aba ba't pa tayo mag iibang bansa diba (hehe, joke lang syempre, but still!).

More than the (future) house of Philippines' first H&M, SM Megamall's new wing Mega Fashion Hall is a promising shopping, dining and lifestyle destination. Attended the launch, which kicked off with a fashion show:

Selfie muna with my "Excited nako to check out the stores and other offerings of the Mega Fashion Hall" face:

FASHION

The Mega Fashion Hall will house the flagship stores of my favorite brands ZARA and UNIQLO, and new global brands such as Vero Moda, Pull & Bear, and Philosophy. I am also curious with this new beauty organic kiosk as well, a local brand with nice branding and products called Ysabel's Daughter:

Hinay muna ako sa shopping, but I drooled when I saw this HUGE Uniqlo store. Parati kong suot ang Uniqlo jeggings ko sa States, super comfortable.

Excited for the BIGGEST Zara in the country, akkk!!! Thisisit, Sarah! :) Photo from Paul. ;)

FOOD

Basta kainan, gow! Foodies will love the Mega Fashion Hall for its international dining concepts and even homegrown specialty restaurants such as Abe and Viking's Buffet. Even the food court nila is something to look forward to!

LIFESTYLE and LEISURE

IMAX Theater, Director's Club, 14-lane bowling center, and an Olympic-sized ice skating rink complete the new mega lifestyle experience.

We ended our Mega Fashion Hall field trip in the IMAX to catch the movie Jack Ryan--na sobrang intense!


Kung ganito ba naman ang mall diba, I can't blame Pinoys for being such big mallers!
Looking forward to more days in the Mega Fashion Hall!

Here is an interesting "salon" concept para sa mga parating gumaganap at pumapaandar--BLO, a Blow Dry Bar where there are no haircut and color on the menu: Just WASH, BLOW, GO! I visited the opening of their newest branch dito sa Pinas at the new Mega Fashion Hall in SM Megamall:

Perfect to kapag you have events like weddings, prom, parties, debut, awarding, etcetera. They have 7 different styles na you can choose from for only Php500:

My "Bloer" Mauie, and my seatmate Christine! ;) Mauie told me na BLO is a North American brand, and they use hair products na sa kanila talaga:

While having my Red Carpet style, I tried the popular detox drink from The Skinny Juicery. Favorite flavor daw to ni Ellen Adarna, hehe:

Premium, organic, and 100% great tasting veggie and fruit detox drinks - for more info visit @theskinnyjuiceryph on Instagram, or check out their website at www.theskinnyjuicery.com.

Meanwhile, aside from the Megamall branch, BLO is also in Rockwell and Serendra:

After 30 minutes! San ang date!? Lels.

For the on-the-go and still wants to look their best, I recommend that you visit BLO kahit less than 1 hour till your event! Here are the WASH BLOW GO options (Php500) -- yung sakin is called the Red Carpet (which I LOVE), but I'd like to try din the soft curls aka Pillow Talk next time. :)

Other options:

After months of cold and snow in the US, I realized that my perpetually oily skin can get dry and chapped. So before I fully enjoy the good vibes music, lomo-ing, more reading time, and even more sun exposure (hehe) that is Philippine summer...I also have to search for a great skin moisturizer first. Panalo to encounter in the groceries Nivea Body's new look--100% recyclable bottle packaging na hindi lang ang skin mo ang magiging thankful, but also our environment! ;)
