A&D Finds: Where To Buy Queen Elsa and Princess Anna Costumes

It's just a week a way before Halloween and all the Trick or Treat events are happening next week! Got your costumes? Where are you spending your Halloween? No plans yet? Check out Smart Parenting's Guide! 

I am procrastinating when it comes to the kids' costumes. I want to use what we have for their costumes. I already have an idea for R's costume but I also borrowed costumes so I'll have choices. For Y, last year she was Snow White, for this year, since she has a lot of tutus and puffy skirts, I borrowed wings so she can be a fairy na lang. BUT.... a part of me wants to dress her as Queen Elsa! Ayan na passing frustrations from my own childhood... Heehee! But really, Y has been bugging me she wants to dress as Elsa, with the cape and braided hair, the works!

So now I am kind of cramming and looking for Elsa dresses and costumes.  JUST IN CASE! But I can't really decide which one to buy because I have a budget and have to stick with it! I've searched every nook of the internet (naks!) on where I can get the nicest Elsa and Anna gowns and dresses that goes with your budget.

Celestina & Co.
Y wore a Celestina and Co (@celestinaandco) Snow White apron last year and she also wears it even on normal days when she just feels like it. It is super sulit! This is usually on a pre-order basis, but I found out that Baobao Babies carries ready-made aprons, the catch is they are located in Cebu. Sayang lang because Y's size is still for pre-order. Boohoo! Order na while you still have time!

 Price starts at Php1980

Home Spun Ph

I discovered Home Spun in OLX during Y's birthday. They are also in Instagram (@homespun_ph). I wasn't able to buy but I kept it on my notes just in case I decided to buy. Home Spun's price points are more budget-friendly.

Elsa's Coronation Apron Set Php950

The Little Bugger
One day I stumbled upon The Little Bugger's IG (@thelittlebugger) and I loved loved every minute browsing thru their IG account. It made me want to buy every Elsa dress she has.   Every little girl would squeal with delight! And the good thing is they have a physical store (3rd Level, Greenhills Shoppesville Mall) and you can go and try out each and every gown. You can also order online and ask your questions thru Viber.

Diba? It's hard to choose? Price starts at Php1550

Alex & Alexa Kids Boutique
I also found out about Alex & Alexa on OLX and Ebay.ph. They sell similar costumes as The Little Bugger. They also have a physical store in Alabang Zapote Road, Las Pinas City but also accepts online orders. You can also check their IG @shopalexandalexa!

I also saw Elsa and Anna costumes in SM.  Each costs Php1,349. But sizes are limited! There's no size for Y anymore. And I don't really like the material. Same as the one I saw in 168. And this is how this post was born. Hehehe!

 

Or if you're a great sewer and can do DIY, try this link I saw in Pinterest! If only I had time, I would definitely TRY and DIY. And I'm sure there's more in Pinterest!

I hope this post helps you with finding the perfect Frozen dresses for your little girls and for my little girl too! Oh Frozen, it's been a year and you're still frozen in our little girls' heart.

Chicified!

Let's take a pause from my Hong Kong posts, shall we?

Ever since after giving birth to Y, all my clothes won't fit anymore, I went a size up, and sadly I lost interest in dressing up and fashion all together (spell: LOSYANG!!!). But after realizing I'm not going back to my pre-pregnancy weight and figure anytime soon, I "have" to somehow accept my current fuller figure. I'm starting to build my wardrobe again, trying avoiding "mommy" clothes, and looking for clothes that compliments me. What weird is that now that I am a mom, I found my new love for SHOES and BAGS (Articles of clothing that doesn't define my size now LOL)!

I've been checking out Chicify for months now. I would love to buy me some stuff from their site! My wishlist is becoming a long one... Here are my picks! And I hope I get to buy them one by one soon!

Dressing Y Up!

It was a long weekend last weekend. Enjoyed it with my family staying home, enjoying the cool and rainy weather!

I was checking Y's clothes stash, ones that were gifted and haven't used yet. I put them on different zip locks arranged by their sizes (9 to 12 months, 12 to 18 months, and so on). I check them once a month to take out clothes that can fit Y already. At the same time I also check clothes that don't fit her anymore so I can keep them and make space for her drawer.

I took out some dresses and I found the Cotton On Ballerina dress/costume which was given to Y by one of my college barkada, Auntie S and Uncle F. I think it fits her already so we (yaya and me) on her, plus the Baby Gap shoesies that the BOS bought during Christmas! Her yaya said to put a headband.

So here she is... my life-sized doll! LOL!

Then the other day, we visited her Amma and some relatives who's here on a vacation. We dressed her up too! It's the first time she wore leggings. So cute! Bought them on sale in Gingersnaps!

So cute! I had fun dressing her up but she was getting irritated by the end. LOL! But nonetheless, I love the perks of having a baby girl! Magastos nga lang when she learns to love clothes, shoes, and shopping! Her face lights up when I open my closet, and mind you, I have a small closet and my clothes are normal. Haha! Matagal pa naman yun. For the mean time, I'll enjoy dressing you up!
