When you see a handsome store clerk, what do you do? Would you: (A) admire them from afar; (B) playfully give them a flirty gaze; or (C) buy something from the store that they work at? For Ivana Alawi, the answer happens to be all of the above. And mind you, the handsome man in her case doesn't just work at any store, he happens to work at the iconic French luxury jewelry brand Van Cleef & Arpels.
LOOK: Ivana Alawi Buys a Necklace Worth Over P160,000 Because of a Handsome Store Clerk
In her most recent vlog, Ivana takes us with her during her shopping trip around Paris. She went to La Vallée Village, an outdoor shopping haven for premium and luxury outlet stores. In the video, she visited brands such as Prada, Christian Louboutin, Fendi, Golden Goose, Gucci, and so much more. There, she treated herself, her mom, and her little sister Mona to some luxury retail therapy. How thoughtful!
Towards the end of her video, Ivana is seen strolling around Paris while having her photos and videos taken by France-based Pinoy photographer Mark Elliar. And while strolling by some stores, something (or should we say someone) special caught her eye.
"May nakita ako sobrang gwapo. Ay dzay! Mukhang nagtratrabaho sa VCA (Van Cleef & Arpels), bibili talaga ako ng VCA," the actress said in her video—and she did. LOL!
In honor of her newfound crush, Ivana bought herself an 18K gold Mother of Pearl Vintage Alhambra pendant necklace.
While the exact retail price of the necklace is not available on the brand's website, the same item is listed at $2894 on luxury re-selling site 1stDibs.com. That's approximately P160,000, no biggie!
