The beach buff's checklist

MANILA, Philippines - The newly refurbished Shoppesville at Greenhills Shopping Center becomes your ultimate summer buddy with its wide selection of beach-ready must-have’s that will have you looking fabulous under the summer sun at affordable prices.

• Cool shades. Sport a summery vibe with a pair of shades that will protect your eyes from the glaring summer sun. With different colors and styles, a great pair of cool and unique shades will complement any summer outfit.

• Colorful flip-flops. We all know that flip-flops are the ultimate summer footwear. It’s the season to let your footsies keep cool by doing away with closed footwear for a while. Colorful and embellished footwear complements and shows off your new, bright pedi.

• Swimsuit. Summer is not summer without a trip to the beach, which always calls for sexy swimwear that you can strut along the shore. Know your swimsuit personality and choose a style that fits you. From tankinis to cut-outs, there is always a right one for every body shape and size.

• Sarong/cover-up. Feeling a bit conservative or just plain stylish? Cover up with hip sarongs that come in different summer colors and can be styled in a number of ways. If you’re looking for hassle-free coverups, sheer dresses are an equally fashionable option.

• Sunny accessories. Complete your cool wardrobe with trinkets like anklets and bangles, necklaces and earrings. Mix and match accessories to get a different look everyday.

• Summer bag. Put all your summer items in a chic and functional bag that you can bring anywhere. Waterproof and transparent bags are perfect for toting your must-haves to the beach, like your camera, sun block, and other things.

With the now posh Shoppesville’s wide array of choices and shopping convenience, it has truly become a fashion haven that doesn’t break the budget.
