Since my sis's A Levels was over, she has been so free and in a shopping deficit. I grabbed her to the Charles and Keith Warehouse Sales to see whether we can find any good buys. There were shoes ranging from $9-35 and bags from $15-35. Not lacking of shoes (my sis juz bought 2 pairs of pumps the day before), we settled for 2 pairs of $9 shoes and a $15 basket bag. People around us bought tons of shoes and bags, which made us feel pathetic. We quickly got our asses out and rushed for our next appointment.
My mum was kinda free at work so she decided to sneak out for an impromptu lunch at Au Petit Salut. A month ago, I was here and I said I'll be back =)
Some of our yummy food. The desserts were so good that by the time I remembered to take photos, they were half gone =(
My sis and I were complaining about how this year will be the first year end in at least 5 years which we are not traveling. Now that my sis is out of JC, we can travel during off-peak seasons. We were reminiscing significant places we once visited like safaris in South Africa, our first snow encounter in Turkey, how we were robbed at San Francisco etc. Those were like eons ago and I can vaguely remember. Almost at the end of lunch, I realized that today's thanks giving. What a wonderful way to spend it on a random Thursday, in the midst of exams.
Do we look alike?

denim fest
I can't believe I didn't hear about this sale until this evening when it started on THURSDAY =( Anyway, I rushed down and luckily there were not many people. 25 was their smallest size and sadly, I can't fit into it. I've been eyeing on True Religion for awhile and I really wanted to get one.
I racked their kid's denim and the sale guy was doubtful and tried directing me to the right section. I tried their largest kid's size available, size 10, and yay! Children clothes is the way to save money. True Religion Low Rise Bobby. I love their bold stitching =)
This completes my 1 year denim collection.
Sass&Bide - 1
Rock&Republic - 1
Seven for All Mankind - 1
True Religion - 1
Miss Sixty - 4
575 - 1
Cheap Monday - 1
Armani Exchange - 1

Club21 Bazaar
I've always wanted a tight high-waisted pencil skirt and finally received mine from American Apparel. It's not as tight as I've wished but guess that's the case when I've no hips and butt. Hopefully the dryer can do wonders and shrink it.
Top: Diesel
Skirt: American Apparel
Bag: Kate Spade
Shoes: Anne Klein
I went for the Club21 Bazaar at Pit Building and boy, it's probably the largest scale bazaar Club21 has ever organized. They carried all their brands, from their cheaper range of ArmaniExchange and CalvinKlein, to their top ranges of Marni and Balenciaga apparels. The prices were more reasonable but still not crazily cheap. There were moments where I felt really lost. Like there're so much clothes and I literally don't know what to do or where to start or what to buy. Of course, having a budget really helps. There was a selection of shoes but none in my size as usual. Sometimes size 35 is still loose on my binded feet. One can lose/gain weight to fit into clothes but the feet is something that won't change.
I stuck with my favourite ArmaniExchange and added 4 tops and a pair of skinny to my ever growing collection. Also got a top from Diesel and 2 belts from DKNY. All these for slightly over $200. I should say that it's a bargain. 95% of people left with bags full of goodies. The 5% are probably guys since there wasn't much stuff for them. The crappy thing is that they PURPOSELY blocked off all the mirrors and there are no fitting rooms. So you either have to trust ur friend's eyes or depend on your own instincts.

photosensitizer, chlorin e6-polyvinylpyrrolidone blah
Despite a very hectic upcoming week with 2 back to back presentations and 1 project report due, I still managed to unwind by attending 2 sale events. NUS vanity fair was a bummer this year but I still managed to get what I intended to so YAY =) Also, there was Electicism sale where I got a real good deal from Rachel Pally (convertible dress) and Twelfth Street By Cynthia Vincent (floor sweeping maxi dress). Dresses that were selling at >USD$200 were going for < $60

all that shopping
- Dress appropriately. Avoid pants, jeans, shorts. Mid length skirts or dresses are most convenient as you can try bottoms under them without using the fitting room.
- No children, boyfriends, husbands. Juz making sure that they are not bored with shopping is enough to kill your shopping spirit. It would be nice if they could start queuing to pay even before you are done but that's quite evil.
- No heels. Slippers, pumps, flats are good.
- Who cares about image during a sale. Grab as many pieces as you like and hog a mirror. Try over what you are wearing to save the hassle of the fitting room.
- Take first, think later.

After over 5 hours of shopping at 2 different sales events

Anyway, my room has this strong leather smell now, thanks to the purchase of 2 more leather jackets from Armani Exchange (1 black leather motorcycle jacket and 1 off-white 3/4 leather coat), a handful of tops and a nice pair of Guess pumps. I know I'll probably not have much chance to wear the leathers but leather is my thing and they were going at less than 10% of their original prices. No way I'll be able to afford it even if it was half its original. Now all 3 ladies in the house will have nice leather jackets to flaunt. I developing a 'fall' closest when there's no seasons in SG. Oh well, I'll juz parade it at home and dream that someday SG will snow =)

Also, we've probably covered every single designer store in town today. Someone's preparing her wistlist for her Paris flight. I'm so JEALOUS!!!
Miu Miu Matelasse Leather Tote, black lamb skin with gold hardware =) Was kinda sad that I wasn't able to make it for the first day of the sale due to exams last week but when I dropped by the store today, they happened to stock up some new sale items (40% off) from Paris and ta-dah! I'm gonna transfer every single cent in my bank account to my mum to disable myself from spending any more money. I'm totally serious.
I racked their kid's denim and the sale guy was doubtful and tried directing me to the right section. I tried their largest kid's size available, size 10, and yay! Children clothes is the way to save money. True Religion Low Rise Bobby. I love their bold stitching =)
