MADE IT ON THE LAST DAY of the Trendsetter's Bazaar last Sunday! It was the first wave of their Summer Series, which is expected to have a second blow on April and the third on May. The event is simply a gathering of the most sought-after and well-loved brands on Instagram, which all set the hottest trends today!
Catching the first deal of the series wasn't really part of my plan, however, I was so fortunate to be given a free day last March 5, so I grabbed the opportunity to strut my stuff at the World Trade Center right away! *big smiles* Oh wait, I'm not planning to hoard a lot and spend too much, I just really want to experience the event and share the good things I may find here on my blog.
GETTING READY
We arrived at the WTC tent at around 1:30 PM, it was already full with people (a stressful sight at first), going in and out, chatting, eating and lining up. I went straight to the ticket booth and bought two, which costs 100 pesos each. The ticket comes with a raffle coupon which you need fill-up and drop inside a box before entering the hall. At the entrance, you just need to present your ticket and get stamped.

| TICKETS. There's an entrance fee of 100 php, which also entitles you with one raffle ticket. |
Now you're ready to explore!
 |
| LET'S START SHOPPING! Looking forward to find a lot of unique items inside the tent. |
You can explore at your own pace, no need to rush. It started at 11 AM and I still have 7 1/2 hours before it closes at 9 PM. There are a lot of stalls inside selling trendy items and some stuff that are really hard to find in malls.
LET'S GO SHOPPING!
Below are the booths which caught my attention:
 |
| Cute rompers are available at Shortcuts |
 |
| Shop Basicph are loaded with affordable gym outfits, but that string halter blouse captivated me. |
 |
| Everything fancy at the That Chic Shop |
 |
| For jersey lovers, TMTRAXX is the shop for you...they also have native delicacies! |
 |
| Forgot the name of the shop, but they sell super cute phone cases |
 |
| Tomboy-Chic look is achievable with their cool items |
 |
| It was my first time to see playful sun hats like these :) |
 |
| Cosmic Concept Manila offers cool tees that are made on-the-spot! |

 |

 |
| Tired shopper here -_- |
Some of the shops that I follow on Instagram were here as well:
I didn't bought a lot, I just snatched those that are plainly good deal. If you missed the first wave, don't worry because you can still catch the second before holy week starts. But before that, let me give you some quick tips so you can have an even delightful visit next month.
1. Wear comfortable clothes. This is so basic, because you can't roam around wearing high-heeled shoes or inside a tight-fitting dress. You can still look fashionable yet comfortable. But keep in mind that this is not an ordinary bazaar, almost all of the shoppers that you'll bump into (even the sellers) wear nice and trendy clothes---'coz after all, it's TRENDSETTER!
2. Bring a shopping bag. I forgot to bring one, good thing I bought a pair of gladiator sandals at Erin and it comes with a pretty pink paper bag. If you'll be hoarding fashion items, bring a large one please.
3. Either visit early or late. Early bird catches the worm right? You'll definitely be the first to secure a lot of awesome treats on the first day, or if you'll come early. But, if you want some great deals (super discounted items), visit on the last day just like me (Got a bomber jacket for only 150 php, which was originally sold at 350 php...how's that sound?)
4. Bring your own water and light snack. If you're like me who is super matipid (thrift), I'll spend my 200 bucks on a blouse rather than buy an overpriced bottled water and a sandwich. There are a lot of food stalls outside the tent, but most of them sells pricey products.
5. Don't be an impulsive buyer. You saw a cute blouse? but don't buy it yet, take several rounds in the area and maybe you'll see something similar but more affordable or more fashionable than the first one. You'll see a lot of cool, beautiful and trendy items, but you should also be wise in buying because you'll surely end-up broke and regretful. Don't just think twice, think a hundred times!
 |
| Filled a paper bag! My fave was the gladiator sandals from Erin by Etsy :) |
 |
| Will come back again for sure :) |
It was a nice experience, and I'm sure that you'll also enjoy shopping for trendy items too. I just hope that the next wave will be better, I'm expecting more unique pieces and more stalls please Trendsetter Team! :)
 |
| DON'T MISS the second and third wave of the series! |
