I want that Dotty Top!

Monday, December 15, 2008

I was surfing Shinnpark’s website this morning and a lovely dotty top caught my attention. I clicked on it and I was so pleased with what I saw. Risolene Dotty Top - a spaghetti strap white cotton top with print on black and polka dots. It is so pretty and cute. Perfect for that Sunday outing!
-
This is one of the items under the Perfectly Wrapped Collection which was launched last Wednesday. If you are looking for a dress for your Christmas party, then you should take a look at Shinnpark. The dresses are awesome, plus the prices are so affordable!

Within an hour, I made my order and received my order confirmation. This Risolene Dotty Top will be posted to me tomorrow. Eeek! I’m so excited!

Mattel Toy Sale

Sunday, December 07, 2008

I can’t believe I actually did this. It was the first time in my 30 years of life – to go for a toy sale on a weekday!

It’s the Mattel Toy Sale at 1 Lok Yang Way. I was told by my friends that there are lots of good buys in this toy sale, with discounts up to 90%. Fisher Price and Barbie are the two favorite brands in this sale.

My hubby and I reached Lok Yang Way at around 11:45am. Finding a car park was our first challenge as the road was already full of cars when we reached. The place was hot and super crowded. As we made our way through the crowd and hunt for our toys, we were sweating like mad. Worst than the C&K warehouse sale, it’s really like fighting a war here!



The crowd reached its peak at around 12:30pm. From the amount of toys that the people are buying and the length of the queue at the cashier counters, I can conclude that the toys must be really cheap. Can you imagine what will happen if the toys are free?!

Our damage was minimal (I think!). Only $190 for 4 items. I couldn’t find anymore suitable toys for Edison. Here are our loots from the sale:
-
FP Little People Music Parade Ride-On $35
FP Little People Shop n’Learn Market $40
FP Doodle Pro Colour $25
FP Trike to Bike $90

As we reached home, we cleaned the toys and displayed them nicely in our living hall. When little Edison came home, he got a very BIG surprise! His eyes beamed with joy when he saw his new toys. That night, he played with the music parade ride-on until 11pm!



Charles & Keith Warehouse Sale

Friday, November 28, 2008

Charles & Keith Warehouse Sale
Up to 70% Off
Date: 27th Nov 2008 (Exclusively for Members*) /28-30th Nov 2008 (Open to Public)
Time: 10am-8pm
Venue: 21, Tai Seng Street Charles & Keith Building Singapore 534166
---------

Ever since we shifted our office from Lorong Chuan to our new building in Tai Seng, we have been aiming for C&K warehouse sales. Our new office is just right across the street from C&K!


--[My office - the blue building which is just across the street from C&K!]

Our dream finally came true yesterday as C&K launched its warehouse sale from 27 Nov – 30 Nov. As early as 10am, some of the female staffs in my company sneaked out of our office and headed to C&K building. Half an hour later, they were back with more good news – C&K staff did not check for membership card (even though they said 27 Nov is exclusively for members) and there are tones of shoes and bags for grabs at irresistible prices!

What I can say, “No government today? How come they can go shopping during office hours?” And the short answer is “Yes!” Apparently, our big boss was on business trip yesterday.

From 11am till our lunch hour, 2/3 of our female staffs were already in C&K warehouse. Amazing? I and my colleagues joined the crowd during the lunch hours. No doubt there are tones of shoes and bags with up to 70% discount. Some of the shoes are even sold at $9 per pair!

We had a hard time finding the right shoes and bags due to the overwhelming crowds. After half an hour of battle, we left the warehouse and hurried into the cashier counters. At this point of time, there were almost...

- 50+ people queuing at the cashier counters (circled in RED)
- 100+ or more in the warehouse
- 200+ or more waiting outside the warehouse! (circled in BLUE)


--[Photo taken from my canteen window]

The crowd reached its peak at around 12:30pm. We were glad that we survived the battle and managed to crawl back to our office in ONE PIECE.
-
If you are a size 4 or size 7, or you like super high heels (3 inches & above), then this warehouse sale is good for you. If you are an average size 5 or 6, you can give this a MISS. Most of the nice designs do not have size 5 and 6.
-
I was literally disappointed with the warehouse sale. After spending half an hour battling with the crowd, I can’t find anything for myself. Frustrated & unwilling to leave the place empty-handed, I simply bought a pair of heels at $17. This pair of heels will probably end up collecting dust in my store room.
-
Until about 6pm, I can conclude that 98% of the female staffs in my company have been to C&K. From the 20s to the 40s, non-executives to managers, singles to married; there are simply no exceptions. When it comes to sales and shoes, all the women will go crazy!

So, anyone going for the 2nd round today?

Shinnpark's Collection

Monday, November 17, 2008

--


Last week, I stumbled across this really cool online fashion store named ShinnPark – a local blogshop completely about fashion clothings, accessories, bags, shoes and even stationery! Complete with pics, descriptions and measurements.

I was instantly captivated by their Flutters Collection. Flirty dresses and lovely tops that come with warm spicy hues and sorbet colours. I have always been a big fan of halter-neck dresses. Thus, I couldn’t resist this Maeve Gold halter-neck dress with gold plated metal chain around the neckline. It is indeed a prefect dress for any occasions. In addition, the price is really affordable.


Without wasting much time, I sent my order via e-mail on Thursday morning. Within the next hour, I received an order confirmation e-mail from Shinn Park. The dress has been placed under reservation for me for one day, pending for my payment. I quickly login to my internet banking and make the payment. The dress was posted to me the very next day through registered mail.

On Saturday morning, the dress was delivered to my door step. I was totally amazed by their prompt service and most importantly, the lovely dress! I love it soooOOOOoooo much! I haven’t worn a halter-neck dress ever since I gave birth to little Edison. Reason – every time I try on a halter-neck dress, I look so FAT in it. Thanks to my tummy and that extra 3kg that I put on after I gave birth.

But but but… I have a totally different feeling after wearing this Maeve Gold dress. In fact, I was surprised that the size is totally fitting for me. I certainly don’t look fat with this dress and I feel young too! I cannot imagine that a $25.90 dress can make me so happy. Nu ren ar!

Now, I’m looking at their accessories. I’m hooked again! Its Swarovski Dazzle collections are absolutely stunning and unique. As pretty as diamonds, these accessories are perfect companion for any outfits. So, this one is now on my shopping list again... Yay!

It’s so much fun to browse and shop here. After the shopping spree, don’t forget to take a look at these cute emoticons at the bottom of their webpage. Super super cute! You can use them in your blogs and MSN too.

Shopping Online

Friday, November 14, 2008

Recently, I’m getting a little addicted to shopping online. This obsession started soon after my maternity leave. At that time, I was too busy with my work plus taking care of Edison. I simply didn’t have time to go out shopping. Even if I do, it’s still such a hassle bringing a baby along, especially when I am trying out clothes.

Initially, I was a bit skeptical towards shopping online. I thought that it would be risky to give our personal particulars and credit card information to the merchants. I fear that this information would be made public.

However, shopping online today is safer than ever before, not to mention a whole lot easier. Just a few clicks on my computer, the items will be delivered directly to my doorstep. Fast and hassle-free. My husband just cannot understand why I’m so tempted to click on that “Buy” or “Add to Cart” button.


I love American brands of children clothings - Gymboree, BabyGap, Pumpkin Patch, OshKosh etc. Their designs are fantastic! Although some of these brands are available in Singapore, but sometimes, it is still cheaper to buy from their online stores. Having said this, my Gymboree loots from the US spree have arrived. Hehehe.. I’ll be making the collection from the spree organizer tomorrow.

Now, I’m tempted to order some clothes from Old Navy as they are having 30% discount. And JShoppers is having their free shipping campaign too. Help! Help! Somebody please burn down my computer before I make any further damages to my wallet! Or simply chop off my hands! I'm so addicted!

JSHOPPERS - Free Shipping & Handling

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Once again, JShoppers launched its free shipping & handling campaign from 11 Nov 08 - 25 Dec 08 (noon Japan time). This means you can buy any amount (even if its only 10 bucks!) with absolutely ZERO shipping & handling fee.
-
However... when this happens, you have to place your orders fast! JShoppers will be flooded with orders now and some of their favourite items will surely run low in stock.
-
From my past experiences, the items will reach our door steps within one week after we have submitted our orders. I'm amazed by their prompt service.

Check them out if you are looking for new Christmas outfits for your little darlings!

Obsessed with Rootote Bags!

Sunday, September 07, 2008

I received my first Rootote Bag which I bought from a spree in SMH forum yesterday… Oh, I love it so much! I got myself a Medium Luxe Capital Bag. I like their simple design, casual and yet perfect as an everywhere bag. I’m amazed by how much stuff that I can throw into the bag! It is very sturdy too, and I’m planning to get one as Edison’s diaper bag! My current LeSportSac bag looks kinda old now, and its time to get it changed.

I’m just too obsessed with the bags. I ordered another 3 bags from the spree – Medium Luxe Pink Dot, Medium Felt Swan and a Medium Luxe Floral.



(From top left: Capital, Pink Dot, Swan and Floral)

The spree price is only $26! It's simply too irresistable. The bags are direct from Japan. More designs available here:
-
You can also get them from Rootote Australian website too. But the price is higher. It costs AUD$39, excluding shipping.

The spree in the SMH forum is definitely a better choice! :)

Our PhotoBook has arrived!

Thursday, July 24, 2008

We were so excited to receive our PhotoBook yesterday... The album looks great! Mummy has given it a title - "My First Year Memory Book". She has diligently recorded all my important milestones in the book and arranged the photos nicely to fit into the book.

Here are some snapshots of the album:







The printing quality is good (looks like a magazine!). Prompt service! We uploaded our book for printing last Sunday and to our surprise, the book arrived in just 3 days!

Making a PhotoBook

Wednesday, July 16, 2008





I am busy working on a new project now - making a photo book for my little Edison... Title of this photo book will be "Edison's First Year Memory Book". My intention is to list down all important dates, events and milestones that happened in his first year.

Let me share with you the steps in making a photo book:
1. Download the software at PhotoBook website.
2. Install the software.
3. Print out the instructions and read them up.
4. Choose the book styles that you want.
5. Planning and conceptualizing. Think of what you intend to put in your photobook.
6. Organise them to fit into the 40 pages of the book. You can add more pages if you want.
7. Organise your pictures. Put them into one common folder so that you can upload all the photos into the software.
8. Download some fancy fonts from the internet (if you don't have). Cartoon fonts or decorative fonts are nice to be displayed on the photo book.
9. Finally, START working on your photo book.

Currently, I'm already at page 36. 4 more pages to go this week and I plan to send the book for printing next week. I will take some snapshots to share with you in this blog when I receive my photobook.

A medium portrait softcover photo book with 40 pages costs you only $49.00. Its an innovative way to keep your photos, rather than the conventional way of printing them in 4R and keeping them in photo albums.

I can't comment on the printing quality now, until I get my photo book. Stay tuned for more updates on my book!
