Zalora Haul (May - July 2015)

ZALORA is truly addictive. I just keep buying and buying because

• Some items too pretty
• Prices quite affordable
• Delivery is easy peasy - I always collect at POPStation. 
• Can return if I don't like the items - I just secure the items properly, follow the given instructions and return at POPStation. 

I always check out 3 brands - ZALORA, ZALORA Basics and Something Borrowed. Over the years, prices have increased, but the quality of the items have also improved. So I don't mind paying a little bit more. By saying "don't mind paying" means anything less than S$35. 

None of them items below cost more than S$35. Some of them are below S$20/S$15 because they were on sale. 

I also only purchase when I have a promo code. 

Photos! Please note that I didn't get these all at one go. They were purchased between May - July 2015 on multiple occasions!

OOTDs, Best Boyfriend Award, Pink Dot and Catching Up

I think the most likely reason why I started taking OOTD photos again is I want to proof to myself that I can buy new clothes AND wear them. Seriously, I have way too many clothes that still have their tags on. It's a terrible habit, so I must start to wear all of them!! 

But then hor, I think I'm being overzealous last week because I have lost the steam this week. It's back to comfortable tops and jeggings for me. Alamak how leh like that!! :S 

Dress: Zalora
Vest: Uniqlo
Bag: Taobao
Shoes: ASICS 

Blouse: Uniqlo
Vest: ZARA
Shorts: H&M

Wow, I really like shopping on Zalora huh? 

Kengyang went to South Korea for his grad trip and being the nice girlfriend that I am, I told him to just get me 2 Laneige BB Cushion refills and a few masks. 

I guess Kengyang and friends had too much time on their hands because they went crazy shopping at the drugstores. He whatsapped me every single time they were in new shops and remarked on how crazily cheap the sheet masks were. So yes, Kengyang and friends went a little bit overboard in terms of sheet mask and aloe vera gel purchases. But hey I'm not complaining because I get immediate benefits, as seen above. :D 

I really need to go to South Korea for all the amazing beauty and skincare products!

And being the amazing boyfriend that he is, Kengyang also bought me Big Bang socks. :) 

Attended Pink Dot with dorabanana and I really enjoyed the positive energy and overflowing love from everyone! I accidentally tripped and hit a lady but instead of the usual and expected TSK + eye roll, I got a "Are you okay!!!". Everyone is happy for everyone. I love it! 

When I posted this photo, I expected a couple of family members (who always like my Instagram photos) to not like it. And indeed, that happened. But hey, that's their opinion and I respect that. Even though these family members do not approve of homosexuality, they don't go around preaching about how sinful it is either. 

As a Catholic, I have been taught that homosexuality is a sin. As my own being, I do not think homosexuality is a sin. 

Also, people who are using religion as weapons - who are you to judge? 

Did you completely ignore Romans 2:1? 

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 

How about Luke 6:41-42?

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

John 8:7?

When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."

(all using NIV)

THERE ARE MANY MANY MORE. Don't ignore and just read things that you want to read leh. Selective reading means you don't know your religion entirely. How do you call yourself a follower of that religion then? 

If you have unpleasant things to say at this point, please exit the page and proceed somewhere else. Bye bye. 

Ending off this post with a photo of Shangying and I. We met up a couple of weeks ago for dinner and it was a great catch-up session. The last time I saw her was probably more than a year ago, so it was much-needed meetup!

Have a great week ahead guys! :) 

Blacks, brushes and bibimbap (#GOSF)

A great weekend has ended. I spent Saturday glued to my bed and Sunday out shopping with Mr Chung. I'm actually looking forward to work! Work hard for the next weekend! 

Funny story first...

On Friday, Mr Chung and I walked all the way from Clementi MRT station to my house at Upper Bukit Timah Road. It took us around one hour and it was a great workout after a heavy dinner. Halfway through our walk, he was on the phone and I was just looking around, not caring about what was on the ground. So of course, I tripped on some raised platform. Just nice, I was holding my phone, so my first instinct was "Save the phone!!" and I did. My phone was as good as new, but I fell flat. FLAT. Like a failed superman pose on the ground. I injured my knee and palm, but that's about it. Once I got out of the shock, I kept laughing for 5 minutes straight because of how silly the situation was - I actually sacrificed myself for my newly bought phone. Humans and their gadgets. Or maybe, me and my gadgets. :P 

Anyway, here are some updates on the fashion front!

Online shopping is my favourite past-time and it's no surprise that most of my clothes were purchased online. 

Dress: Zalora
Shoes: Bought in Hong Kong
Watch: Casio

Taobao, Qoo10, Zalora, etc. I always check these sites regularly to get updated on their new stuff and sale sections. 

Inner top: Lazada
Vest: Zara
Skorts: Qoo10
Shoes: Bought in Hong Kong
Watch: Casio

Also, I visit Singsale once in a while to look through the deals and discounts. Sometimes nothing attracts me, but sometimes Singsale surprises me with amazing discounts. I bought a 24-piece brush set from Bella Brushes (based in Australia) for only S$29, and because it was Black Friday, shipping was S$1 flat every product purchased. Amazing deal right?! The brushes were amazingly soft and shed-free too. 

It's incredibly exciting what's coming up in the online shopping arena. I've been seeing the advertisements on Youtube and even at bus stops - The Great Online Shopping Festival! It's an annual event in which participating online stores offer amazing discounts! It's happening from 2-4 February 2015 and it cannot be more timely for me because it's right after my pay day, hoorah! 14 more days to GOSF! 

Ending this post with a photo of my favourite food - the delicious Bibimbap. This is one of the two reasons why I want to go to South Korea, the other reason being facial masks. 

Have a great week ahead guys. Save some money for GOSF! 

BLOGMAS Day 18: Zalora Christmas Dresses Haul

Drop Waist T-Shirt Dress
Halter Neck Piece Swing Dress

So they gave me a VIP 20% off coupon code. On top of that, it was Thursday (Mastercard Thursdays 10% off!). I didn't go all crazy, just bought two dresses and I think they are also wearable for non-Christmas occasions. Sometimes I want to get super glittery dresses with sequins and all that jazz, but I can only wear those dresses once or twice? Might as well get dresses that I can wear on more occasions right? 

I think halter neck tops are very flattering for girls with wide shoulders. I have really wide shoulders and thick arms, hence I look much fatter than I really am in baggy tops. Halter neck tops give that illusion of narrower shoulder and if you have nice shoulders, they really accentuate those areas. Ah can't wait to pick them up at the Pop Station nearest to my house. 

Oh! Have I mentioned how freaking awesome and convenient Pop Stations are? You just opt for pick-up at a Pop Station nearest to your house and everything's done within 4 days. If you don't like what you buy, just return the product in its original condition with the given documents and tag, and place it in one Pop Station box. All will also processed within a week! Super convenient lor!

Zalora is really making online shopping much more fuss-free. That's how online shopping should be! Let's hope more local sites offer such services soon! 

BLOGMAS 2014 Day 3: Zalora Haul (December 2014)

Welcome to BLOGMAS day 3! Time is passing way too fast right? We're almost halfway through the first week of December.

I had a scary experience a couple nights ago and it really made me think hard about my health. So yes, I was sleeping with the lights off (very unusual for me because I always need a little bit of light to sleep, but I was damn tired so I didn't care) and I woke up at 3+am with a really weird feeling in my mouth. When I closed my mouth, my saliva glands would overwork and I would have a mouth full of saliva within like 3 seconds. It's freaking scary! I thought it was nothing, so I just swallowed the saliva, but it happened like 4-5 times. So okay, I sat up and wanted to calm myself down, but I felt this sudden wave of nausea. I went to the toilet and was prepared to vomit it all out when everything felt normal again. WHAT IS THIS?! I woke up the next morning (a Sunday - super wasted) with a migraine that lasted almost the entire day. :( This happened again last night and I really was quite shaken. What if I didn't wake up and choked to death? That would be a really stupid way to die. 

When I told my mom, she suggested that I see a specialist because "this kind of thing cannot play one you know?" - which I truly agree. So yes, to the specialst we go! 

Also, I cannot wait for my facial session tomorrow.  I have been really stressed at work and my skin is protesting. So many facial demons on my face!!!! BAH! 

Whenever I'm stressed at work, I always browse shopping sites and I almost always end up buying something. Like the below purchases, they were all added into my shopping cart in office. Zalora always have the best deals and the below purchases were made on 3 occasions. 2 on a Thursday (to make use of the Mastercard Thursdays promotion) and 1 on Black Friday. I think all my Zalora orders have been made with some form of promo/discount codes stacked. Super cheapo but got cheap thrill, quite awesome. 

Two dresses for myself! I hope it's cold tomorrow morning so that I can wear a sweater over the blue shirt dress, and then complete the ensemble with a pair of boots/glittery oxfords. :D

Slit Maxi Dress
Shirt Dress

Three pairs of shoes and a bag for myself (I just sold 10+ pairs of shoes on Carousell, so it's only right that I get new ones hehe) and the other two are christmas presents.

Rubi Santa Fe Sandals
Rubi Pompeii Sandals
Pointed Toe D'Orsay
Derby Shoes
Canvas Backpack With Checkered Flap
Canvas Backpack With Stripe Panel Flap

22 more days to Christmas! :D

Zalora - Shop on Thursdays till end of 2014!!

So this happened....

I had $32.24 in my Zalora wallet from a previous refund, so I decided okay let's browse Zalora for new stuff...

Just nice it's Thursday and Zalora Basics had a "buy 2 get 20% off" deal. Add everything up, I only paid S$5.12. (Of course the S$32.24 also my money but that was residing in my Zalora wallet for quite some time already, so it felt like free money LOL)

Then, there was a 15% off coupon code and both the RUBI shoes on my wishlist had a "buy 2 for S$40" deal, so after stacking all the deals, I paid S$29.83 for both shoes - technically like "buy 1 get 1 free". 

Moral of the story - if you have Mastercard, shop on Zalora on Thursdays! The 10% off deal is ongoing every Thursday till end of 2014.

I confirm and promise this is not sponsored or a requested post!! I just found everything while browsing since my office network is down now. :D

November 2014 Online Haul: ZALORA and ASOS

So I said I will not shop online because I'm going to Bangkok. Obviously, that determination got lost halfway. I ended up spending less than S$100 on these products from Zalora and ASOS, thanks to many many discount codes. I had the ASOS items in my cart and I didn't check out because I was preparing to check them out if I couldn't find similar things in Bangkok, BUTTTT ASOS tweeted a code for an additional 10% off items on Sunday morning, and I immediately checked the 3 things out. And then I went back to sleep. :D 

Zalora has Mastercard Thursdays - 10% off your total if you use a Mastercard to purchase your items on a Thursday. Also, I had a 15% discount code on top of the 10% off, so...just whack right? 

ZALORA Criss Cross Mix Material Sandals
EZRA by ZALORA Lace Kimono Sleeved Blouse
ZALORA Cross Ankle Strap Pointed Ballerina Flats

Girls on Film Floral V Neck Boxy Crop Top
ASOS Denim Extreme Knicker Short in Black Acid Wash
ASOS Cami with Layered Pleat Hem

The extreme knicker short is quite intimidating, hence I bought a size bigger. I don't want to expose my behind, but I don't want to pay a lot for a pair of black acid wash shorts. Hopefully, this fits alright, if not, into the Carousell box it goes!

2 more days to Bangkok! Excited for shopping and eating and shopping and eating! :D

Massive Clothing Haul (Sep-Oct 2014): Taobao, H&M, Zalora and Cotton On

There's a reason why this is a "Sep-Oct 2014" haul even though it's only the third day of October - I have to save the money and not shop anymore for the rest of October because I'm going to Bangkok next month!! Save the money and shop like crazy there! :D

Also, I need to review my wardrobe again. zzz.

First up, Taobao...
I'm very excited about these 6 items. If I could use a couple of words to describe my style, they would be "baggy" and "comfortable". I don't normally wear tight clothes because I feel like I cannot breathe. I love love love LOVE baggy and flowy tops/dresses even though they make me look bigger than I actually am. People actually ask me if I lost weight when I wear something tight. But aiyah, I prefer to be comfortable lah, and my job has no attire restrictions at all. Lagi best. Baggy tops/dresses really too nua, I love them!! When I wear something loose and boxy on top, I always make sure I'm wearing something lean and tight at the bottom; it's all about balance. This is why I don't normally buy a lot of pants/shorts/leggings/skirts. I have my favourites and I will repeat them with a different baggy top. Extremely easy process in the mornings - can save a lot of time!!

Blue shirt dress (RMB33)
Blue-green t-shirt dress (RMB32)
Flowy double plaid top (RMB69)
Striped sheer t-shirt dress (RMB27)
Striped v-neck sweater dress (RMB59)
Grey knitted vest (RMB32.99)

When I went to Copenhagen, I forgot my favourite leather jacket. I actually hung them near the bedroom door so that I could just take it and go when I left the house, but yah I forgot. Very dumb because the other jacket in my luggage was way too thick for the autumn weather. So I had to get a cardigan. Where else but H&M right? Then I saw this damn pretty curvy girl who was rocking an all black outfit with a high-low black T-shirt dress and leggings, so yes I wanted a high-low black T-shirt dress also. 

Very strangely, the black shirt was cheaper in Denmark's H&M than Singapore's, but the cardigan was more expensive. Why like that ah? 

&DENIM/CONSCIOUS long linen top (S$49.90, bought for 179DKK, so S$7 cheaper in Denmark)
Knitted cardigan (S$19.90, bought for 99DKK, so S$4 more expensive in Denmark. What?!)

Random Zalora tops that were in my wishlist. I decided to get them because I had a discount code, and on top of that, it was Mastercard Thursday, so I had a discount on top if a discount. Excellent. 

Grey-purple v-neck blouse (S$24.90)
Sheer shoulder kimono blouse (S$24.90)

I was browsing Cotton On Asia for sleepwear and undergarments and decided to get these 3 shirts as well.

Tshirt 1, Tshirt 2, Tshirt 3 (3 for S$30 deal)

So yes, no more shopping till 6 November! Can't wait to shop in Bangkok with Dorabanana! :D Our Airbnb condo looks magical also, got rooftop pool leh, wow.

Have a great Friday! :)

August 2014 #ootd

I think compiling OOTD/fashion photos by the month will make categorising much simpler. I used to divide them by week number, but as I got older, this method got more unsuitable (short term memory + laziness kicking in). So yes, a monthly compilation will be a better method. Hopefully, I don't delete the photos from my phone. But then again I have limited space so I tend to delete. Here I go digressing again. Ok long story short, I need a better phone with more memory space. 

Top - H&M
Skirt - H&M
Watch - Casio
Bracelet - Taobao

Top - Taobao
Inner blouse - Cotton On
Shorts - Qoo10
Watch - Casio
Bracelet - Taobao

Top - ASOS
Necklace - Taobao

Shirt - Taobao
Necklace - Forever 21
Jeans - Taobao
Shoes - Zalora
Watch - Casio

Finally I own a pair of Nike Roshe Runs!! I got them from @ootdootdshop on instagram! 

Barely 2 weeks to Copenhagen. EXCITED!! :D Have a great great Friday guys!! 

Massive shoe haul - Out with the old, in with the new!

Taobao Black Sandals
Taobao Black Platform Oxfords
Zalora red Stripe Slip On Espadrilles
Zalora Floral PU Slip Ons
Taobao Black Flats with Silver Details
Zalora Kimono Print Canvas Slip Ons
Zalora Slip On Moccasins With Scallop Edging
Nike Roshe Run (Couldn't find the actual link for the black-white combo)

I have been getting rid of shoes that have long passed their lifespans. I threw away 2 pairs in Hong Kong because my black converse and sandals fell apart. Then I threw away 7 more pairs last week because all of them were either moldy (and unsalvageable), damaged or simply fell apart lah. I also got rid of some really old pairs that were just collecting dust. Felt damn awesome clearing my shoe closet, but aiyoh I'm not used to it being so empty. So hehe, time for new shoes. :D

The Nike Rosher Runs were a birthday gift from Mr Chung! :) Can't wait for all of them to arrive!

Ha:tfelt, OOTD and Great Udon

I am obsessed with Ha:tfelt (or Wonder Girl's Ye Eun). Her solo album is perfect and I love every single song. My favourite song now is Peter Pan. Why so flawless?! I'm hoping she'll get the music shows' trophies, but don't think that will happen. :S

Ye Eun wore very simple cross earrings for the album cover and I thought the look was simple and classy. So, I decided to wear cross earrings too. It has been long since I've been so obsessed with a musician. 

On a very unrelated note, I finally tried Tamoya Udon and it was soooooo good. Very affordable and extremely tasty. My meal was less than S$10! 

Definitely gonna go back for more amazing udon!

Less than 24 hours to Hong Kong! :D Can't wait!!

Makeup Buys on Zalora SG!

Me and my never-ending fascination with beauty products. Some people call me obsessed and wasteful (they don't understand why I have so many different black eyeliners), while some others enjoy the recaps of my exploration to find the perfect product. I can go on and on about why I have so many eyeliners (different purposes, different occasions, different brushes, different pigmentation, different looks, aiyah can go on forever) but I think the more important thing is to share with those who are interested the various websites that you can buy beauty products on. 

I have been a Zalora customer since 2012 (remember this post?) and I was extremely excited when they added more and more brands and products to their Beauty section, especially the women makeup products section. 

What am I most excited about? Definitely the addition of Sephora make-up products. I still remember what my first Sephora makeup product was - Sephora Sun Disk in Light. I didn't know what it was for but I bought it because I just received my very first pay and I wanted to splurge on a new product.   

This is way out of point and incredibly random, but look how gorgeous the website layout is for Sephora! 

I'm already eyeing some makeup items; the Smart Liner is different from the myriad of eyeliners in the market and I'm intrigued!!

Now I hope Zalora will add in more and more brands to the Beauty section!

Have a great day ahead guys! :)

New in: Sandals from Zalora

EDGE CALISTA Cutout Sandals

SIDEWALK Qarni Strappy Looped Sandals

VELVET Maddock Skull Thongs

Zalora + Qoo10 + LoveBonito Haul

This past week has been quite mundane. I realised that I have developed this bad habit of just locking myself up in my room and only coming out when absolutely needed (toilet, food, work). Part of the reason, actually a large percentage of why I'm cultivating this terrible habit is because kengyang is in Shanghai and I have no one to go out with. Not that I don't have anyone else to go out with, but I just don't want to bother them and take up their time. It's the beginning of the depression cycle. Definitely not a good sign. Also, because I'm online so much, I just keep buying more and more and more stuff! 

Aiyoh. Better kill this habit. The last time this happened, I had hallucinations and I almost wanted to kill myself. That's not very pleasant. 

Okay, I shall stop being morbid. MORE HAULS! 

First, some sandals from Ezra (through Zalora.com). I really needed nicer and work-appropriate sandals for those lazy days, so I bought two perfect pairs. They were also really affordable!

EZRA Glitter Flat Sandals - now on sale for S$12.60

EZRA Mix Material Strappy Sandals - now on sale for S$12.60

I also needed to stock up on my masks and seriously only these masks will work on my crazy oily and acne-prone skin.

Lastly, I rewarded myself with a really gorgeous maxi dress from LoveBonito. I should have bought an M because L was slightly too big and way too long for my average 162cm height. Mom's helping me to alter the dress though (cutting off 10cm all round, wtf haha), so yay all's good~

Mysha Maxi (S$38) - all sold out, indicate your email on the site if you want to be notified when it's available again. 

Zalora Shoe Haul

For some weird reason, my photos are not saved properly. But ohwell, I bought 3 new pairs from Zalora because they had a 20% off coupon and because my shopaholic habits still have yet to be contained. 

Whatever makes you happy eh?

The Wooi Slip-ons are really comfortable. I'm this close to buying 5 more pairs in different designs. YIKES.

Have a great day guys! Make it better than yesterday! :)
