If she likes sexy fitted tops then size 8. Don't worry I'm sure size 8 is just right for her.

When I first came here I was a size 8 until the fish and chips, traditional dinner, currys and lots of sweets were introduce to me. I gained a few pounds, and now im a size 10. Fortunately my size 3 feet are still the same.

oh talking about sexy, my wife who was a student doc in manila, told me a story of how a local gangster, the toughest guy on the block, covered in tattoos and scars from fights, came into hospital with a stab wound to his stomach, and as he was losing a lot of blood, they had to cut his clothes off, they cut his jeans off, and he was wearing
WOMENS PINK THRILLY KNICKERS with lots of lace around them, my wife and the other docs dare not laugh at him, but they went out of the room, they so much they had tears in their eyes, and the other docs took it in turn to go and and see.
he told one of the docs, he worn them because they were " cool and breezy to wear"
so be warned if your wearing your wifes knickers

Shop in the PI Instead
Ahh, yeah you read it right.
Take her to the malls in the pi INSTEAD, THERE are plenty --- as in tons of malls in the Philippines. plus the prices are so so cheap (just realize that when i first set foot in England) until now i hardly believe the prices here in the UK so expensive like for a decent top cost £20 but back home for that price she can have 4 designer shirts or a pair of jeans, sandals & a shirt. (do you agree fellow pinays that prices here such a killer?)
plus it will be a big treat for her. good luck!

On our last trip we noticed the opposite admitlly we were shopping in makati, but the prices were not that much cheaper than many stores here on certain clothes. Both the designer clothes such as hugo boss and the cheaper end (i think it was gardino?) the equivalent in the uk were basically the same. I guess because most of the clothes come from china etc in both countries. The topshop clothes im told were not much cheaper.
The bench store had some clothes which were cheaper than uk equivalents but not much imho.
I do know my wife found the clothes and accessoires she brought from primark went down a storm with her sister, cousins, friends and cost bugger all They had the prestige of coming from "London" and all looked trendy (im told) and we would have found hard to find much cheaper in phill.

If you go to phill and don't spend time in a mall, just check you got on the right plane.
