So I decided to go accessories hunting in Quiapo yesterday, in preparation for an upcoming shoot.  Accessories are things I’d always have to invest on as a stylist, because you can use them over and over again regardless of model size.  And what with my current financial situation, the best place to shop is Quiapo mainly because you can get so much value for your peso if you know where to look.

The last time I was in Quiapo was two years ago, and I really only do it to majorly update my accessories collection.  Where I shop, you’ll see some people from known stores who buy materials in bulk, and some online boutique owners as well.  I know my favorite accessories shop from the look of its outside windows, because I never seem to get or remember its store name.  (Plus, I always have to know Quiapo church’s position, because that’s how I navigate through Quiapo in general. So you see, store names aren’t as important to me as store locations, hahaha).

Update April 9, 2010: The store is Wellmanson’s at Villalobos street, Quiapo!

Yesterday’s stash includes:

Silver hoops, for a staggering P15

Silver dangling earrings, for P12!

I tried taking a picture of it when worn, but I couldn’t stop it from dangling and blurring, haha. Looks really nice, not bad for P12.

Black snake chain bracelet, P95

Dark silver chain bracelet, P95

Metallic bangles, P65, P55, P38 (left to right)

Purple and brown feather earrings, P34 a pair

And I don’t even know how to describe this one, but it’s P34, and I swear it’s cute. The picture just doesn’t do it any justice.  It’s a little cube made out of black wire.
