Ditch the Jersey
Text by Wyanet Vaz
Since we were left with no option but to engage in the FIFA World Cup hoopla, we eventually figured we can sail through the season. With the eye candy and regular bouts of excitement (especially when the commentator rolls out the longest sentences and your heart literally leaps out of your petite body), we are tip-toeing to the dark side. What really seals the deal is when you splurge on some football merchandise. No, jerseys are too passé. What cements this new-found attraction is classy merchandise that will spark off some serious envy. And, if your generous heart permits, indulge in some World Cup gifting too.
