Massive ASOS Haul (Dec 2015 - Jan 2016)

This is excessive. I spent a total of £103.91 (approximately S$215) on 12 items. 

If I divide that total amount with the total quantity bought, I saved a great deal (the total original price for all 12 items was £308, or slightly over S$630). But if I look at this entire post as whole, I shopped way too much. 

1. I'm very vexed about Chinese New Year outfits. This year I need multiple outfits because I'm going back to Indonesia on the second day of CNY. 

2. CNY coupon code from ASOS that slashed another 18% off sale items. 

3. Lack of self control and discipline. 

I'm horrible. 

Before this post turns into a self-castigation attempt, here are the items I purchased. All of them were from the sale section.

Vero Moda Mixed Stripe 3/4 Sleeve T-Shirt Dress
ASOS Skater Dress with T-Shirt Overlay
ASOS Patch Denim T-Shirt Dress With Lace Up Back
ASOS Paisley Printed T-Shirt Mini Dress

Noisy May Cadance Lace Up Tee
ASOS Sheer and Solid Oversize Shirt
ASOS Sleeveless Blazer in Stripe Co-ord
ASOS Denim A-Line Mini Skirt With Plait Tie Belt In Mid Blue
ASOS Denim Dolly A-line Button Through Mini Skirt in Indigo with Contrast Stitching

ASOS PETITE Crop Top In Rib with Side Splits
ASOS Classic Retro Sunglasses
ASOS Enamel Open Circle Necklace

Currently waiting for the first package to arrive. I wonder how many of them will end up on Carousell. Oh the joys of online shopping~

Other than these, I have new stuff from Zalora, Cotton On, Dressabelle and MDS Collection. I need to Evanesco some items in my wardrobe. 

BLOGMAS Day 15: H&M rings are so affordable!!

Why is H&M offering so many way-too-affordable accessories? Like a set of rings for S$2.90?! Initially, I stepped into H&M hoping to get a nice shift dress, but I stepped out with no apparels, but with hair clips and a truck of rings. 

I have 10 fingers, but I ain't wearing one or two rings at any one time. I love stacking them rings and sometimes I slotted way too many until I had to remove all of them before I could type properly and comfortable at work. One reason why I love rings is because .... my fingers are the only body parts of mine that fit a size S. :D Strange hor? But yes, I have very strange fingers. I think when I lose weight, I lose the most from my fingers. I have rings from years back that are way too big now. 

H&M now is my go-to place for rings! 

The first two buys were random - I wanted to add a little bit of youthfulness to my daily blah and grim outfits. In the end, I picked bows in blah and grim colours. HAHA can you imagine me with a bright yellow bow on my head? No man, nooooo. 

From here on, some of you may see me as a ring-hoarder/finger-overaccessoriser/a girl who can't be bothered with her nails, but yes those are extremely accurate portrayals. I have way too many rings and I'm not stopping because wahlao super chio and make me happy then okay liao lah.

The 5 sets of rings below cost me less than S$22 in total. Very good!

Siao liao...

...but excited to wear them all.

From today onwards, it's a single-digit countdown to Christmas. 2014, you sprinter is it??

BLOGMAS Day 12: Taobao "12.12" Haul

Today's post is a short and sweet one. Work has been rather cruel, but life is made more fulfilling and satisfying when you overcome adversity. 

A quick and sudden swerve back to today's post - I have submitted (yes, another one) a Taobao order and this time it was for their 12.12 sale. Seriously, every day can be sales day. 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 5.5, 6.6, 7.7, 8.8, 9.9 10.10, 11.11, 12.12. All 365 days also can. 

But got sales cannot complain, so yes, hauling time!

Laptop sleeve
Backpack

From top left to right:
Necklace 1
Necklace 2
Necklace 3
Necklace 4

From top left to right:
Green top
Red top
Brown vest
Checkered top
Grey/navy top

Woohoo, less than 2 weeks to Christmas. Also, less than 12 days to my long vacation. :D

BLOGMAS Day 5: Singsale Goodies - Brushes, Toner and Footwear!

I'm suddenly on a Singsale craze again. Initially, I only wanted to take a quick look because it was announced that NYX would have a sale on that day, but there was no time frame given, so I accessed the website in the morning, and kept refreshing. So boring right? Okay, I browsed the website and ohmygosh so many things on sale! I even wanted to get a bed sheet set just because it was discounted and pretty. In the end I had three things in my cart that were NOT from NYX (the sale sucked by the way, it was mostly old stuff) and because my pay was in the day before, I just checked out. 

I was so excited, then after a few days, I realised why I stopped browsing Singsale a few months back - the shipping/delivery is going to take ages! I ordered on 27 November and as of now only two out of three items have been shipped out. One (the Michael Todd toner) just arrived in their warehouse and it will only be shipped out earliest 7 December. So for everything to reach me, I will estimate maybe end of the year? The last time I shopped on Singsale, my items arrived 1.5 months later. 

I guess cannot really blame them because the three things that I purchased were from three different companies from different parts of the world, so getting the items to arrive at their warehouse really depends on when the companies mail the items out. Looking at how I barely can remember things these days, I'd probably forget about all these purchases and be pleasantly surprised when they arrive. "Wah! I got buy this meh??" - this happens way too often. 

I got myself a 24-piece brush set from Bella Brush, my 4th bottle of Michael Todd toner and Therapy & Because sandals. There was also some promotion going on, so I had discounts on top of discounts. I love it when you can stack vouchers! :D 

I don't need more brushes, but I'm lazy to wash all my brushes, so when these come, I may throw some of my old brushes away. I also googled and reviews were not bad!

No need to explain more about this because I raved about it in one of my older posts. This is my 4th bottle!!

This pair was only S$9! WHAT?!

20 more days to Christmas! YAY!

Taobao haul - July 2014

Some of the items that I bought have been taken down from the shops. However, a quick google translate and search bar input will almost always give you similar items from other shops. So make google translate your best friend and go on a Taobao adventure. I always start with hope of finding one product, and I will end with way too many things. 

All the items came in great quality and fit well. 

Taobao is my wardrobe's nemesis. 

Hope you guys are having a great Sunday! I'm two days away from my Hong Kong vacation! HUAT!

New in: Rings from H&M

Yesterday was post-surgery day 1 and I was too jumpy to stay at home. So I decided to reward myself and I went out on a quick shopping session. It was a 2-hour session at JEM and I didn't really get many things. I bought the above rings for less than S$12 in total. Quite a bargain and H&M is really scoring high marks in the ring department.

Today's post-surgery day 2 and I still can't consume solids and hot liquids. So, I'm stuck with coffee, milo and various juices. I wanted to buy ice cream but the fridge in my house is officially broken down?! The washing machine broke down, the air con broke down, the printed broke down and now the fridge is a goner as well?!

Not consuming so much food has its positive as well. I have lost around 1.5kg and I know, I know, I'm losing my muscle weight + water weight, but very shiok to have flat tummy for damn long and to see the numbers keep going down? :D Of course, when I'm fully healed, I'll have to train my muscles and continue my running again - I have a 10km marathon to run in August with Eve!

Have a good day guys! :)

Last haul of 2013

I'm back from Taiwan and I have accumulated quite a mountain of purchases. I blame it all on my bonus. YAY Shopping! :D

I didn't do much shopping in Taiwan. Spent a hell lot of time on the bus travelling to remote places and I was too tired when we had the allocated shopping time. Once I'm back, I went CRAZY online. HAHA. All I can say is... oops?

YAY HAVE A GOOD LAST COUPLE OF DAYS OF 2013! :D

Taobao (+Cotton On +River Island +Zalora +Runwaybandits+Romwe) Haul: December 2013

Let me just begin this post with a determined declaration - I'M ON A SHOPPING BAN TILL 20TH DECEMBER 2013. 

I have accumulated more new items than I have expected and it's, to be quite honest, disturbing. So yes, no more shopping till I leave for Taiwan! 

Let me illustrate to you how bad the situation is. Let me also reiterate that this haul post DOES NOT include the skincare and beauty items that I have shamelessly purchased. 

See lah, confirm got problem already. Self-control is a trait that I lack and one that I need to apply on myself. If I succeed this 16-day shopping ban (very lihai already okay?), I will .... eat a really good buffet when I'm back from Taiwan. GREAT IDEA. Rewarding myself with food always works. 

Taobao stuff! 

Purple Galaxy creepers. I had my doubts about them, but the pair's in amazing quality and NO REGRETS.

River Island purchase! Completely took advantage of the free worldwide shipping deal. 

I also got a blue sweater top but it's now out of stock and they have taken down the web listing, so I can't "kop" the photo. I got the last piece! YAY!

I needed new lingerie so I bought them from Cotton On (S$5 only halo?), but of course I'm not going to show the world what panties I wear. To get free shipping, you need to spend at least S$50, so I got myself this pair of palm trees print sneakers too (30% off - Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale)!

Can I just say how much I love Cotton On's shipping? I ordered on Thursday and the package came hand-delivered to me on Saturday morning?? MAD EFFICIENT.

Bought this gorgeous denim crochet top from Runway Bandits. When I saw the preview photo a few days before the launch, I was IN LOVE. Not sure if the 18-inch bust measurement will be tight on me, but WHATEVER I got it. :D 

Link: http://www.runwaybandits.com/dresses/kenzie-embroidered-dress-blue

Romwe also had a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale going on and initially I just wanted to browse. I have never liked Romwe's sales before because I could find the exact same thing on Taobao for much cheaper? So I was just browsing for the sake of browsing, until I saw this sweater. It was under USS10, and I had a discount coupon? So I ended up paying US$8+ with free worldwide shipping. Can lar hor? 

Anyway, this sweater is now OOS and has been taken off the website. 

Last one last one!

I wanted a nice festive dress for Christmas and yay I got it from Zalora! This dress was S$24.90!

I'm a ding dong bell. I NEED TO STOPPP! 

Hais. Wish me luck on my shopping ban. I'M SCARED BUT I CAN DO THIS!
