Dresses from Ailiyo

Finally received the batch of dresses from Ailiyo spree. In total, I ordered 7 dresses, out of 5 belongs to my friend. :) But we opened up and looked at the dresses together so I can have a feel on how the dresses are like. :)

First, let's see the dresses I bought. Both of us got this beige dress, actually I have been eyeing it for very long. Local online shopping site which sells in-stock item directly are selling it at around SGD$25 to SGD$32 I think. I was apprehensive about buying it as I am scared that I could not fit in, especially bust area. But I am VERY happy that I can. Hee~

The picture on the right shows the dress that is shown on the site and also me wearing the dress. As you can see, the dress is not so beigish but more like pearly white. All in all, it feels and look terrific. As quoted from my friend, it is "cheaptastic"! Hee~


I also ordered this dress on the left, but in black color. But sadly, as I have humongous arms, I could not fit into the armholes of this dress.


My friend bought the dresses below. I like how the polka dots dress feel, it is really soft and chiffony. I thought the dress looks better than the displayed photo actually.

Shopping down the orchard lane

Anyway, there is the Mango sale currently in Singapore. Just so for those that is interested. I bought a tank top that has "I'm Ready to Fly" in front for SGD$23. cheap. And well, the words were inspiring. At least for me.

Then I dropped by to Kinokuniya, and got myself two books. Will elaborate on these 2 books in another later entry.

But my best buy for the day is this DIOR inspired bag. I love it. It's white. Buttery. Big. And the handles are of the right length. As mentioned it is inspired. So it is not considered an imitation. No DIOR label. etc etc. But well it looks more or less same as the branded bags themselves.

My bag look like this on the left.

Nice right! :)

It can put alot of stuff, including my laptop (which is precisely the reason I got it.)

Okie, I really really really should stop spending so much money. Considering the fact that I am so unhappy about my job enough to even contemplate whether anot to keep it. Sigh.


Anyway, this find at Far East Plaza leads me to think about what I saw online last night. I saw this spree on Inspired YSL Dome Muse Bag. I think it looks really nice. And today when I saw it at a shop at Far East, I cannot help but went and ask how much are they selling. So they are selling at 59++ if I remember correctly. On the spree it was SGD$45. Hee and on the spree, they have it in medium size, which is cooler, coz the large one is really quite big. Then there are the Coach inspired bags. I love the clutches. Only SGD$29 bucks. The Burberry namecard holder is SGD$15 bucks. Nice right!





But nop, I cannot spend anymore. I do not need an extra clutch (really?) nor a chic namecard holder (really???) nor another big structured bag (really????) Haha.... However, if any of my friends (yeah, friends or cousins or family that are currently reading this) are interested. I can help u find out if it is still available. :)

And you know, I came across this shop at Far East selling VS Body Splash at SGD$36.50 (which is really EXPENSIVE, considering if you know how much the original cost is) My cousin is only selling hers at SGD$17 bucks online lor. Must remember to remind her that she is really selling it cheaply (as compared to sellers out there).

And this Majolica Majorca mascara, Eyelash Expander 15x length, I bought it at around max SGD$20 bucks if I did not remember wrongly. But that shop is selling at SGD$39.90 lor. Winner, the amount of profit they are trying to make. It is really a rip off lor.

Sorry, I just have to say that luckily nowadays, it seems like the buyers are more intelligent than be subjected to such ripoff prices. (Well, I can only hope so.)

Commonly Ordered Drugstore.com's Items in Sprees

Drugstore.com is one of the sites where you keep seeing people opening new sprees every other day. Orders from Beauty.com is also considered under Drugstore. com. And you wonder what is it at that site that prompts the large amount of people that are willing to buy from it. But then, their Burt's Bees and GNC are really cheap.

Personally, I got my Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask through one of the Drugstore sprees. It was only USD$3.29 and add another SGD$3-5 bucks for shipping and postage. This Mint Mask is one of the items that most people ordered during a drugstore's spree.

So I thought to just browse through some of the ongoing spree, and list some of the items that I keep seeing people order over and over again, for example, the Green Tea diet capsules, almost everyone that ordered in a drugstore spree will have that in their order list.

So here goes:

1. e.l.f items: Most of e.l.f items are USD$1 bucks. Worth a try.


2. Applied Nutrition Green Tea Diet, Gel Caps 30 ea: USD$5.56, heard that it give you energy and also help suppress appetite during the day. Banking on Green Tea as an ingredients, no wonder it is so popular. Oh coz, not to mentioned cheap.
   
3. Queen Helene Masque, Mint Julep 8oz: USD$3.29. Good clay mask. And the mint really gives a refreshing feel. Cheap too.


4. Burt's Bee items: Same as above, its all cheap cheap. :) Around USD$3++. I bought the cuticle cream to try before.


5. Max Factor mascara: You can't get Max Factor in Singapore. And their mascara are only USD$3-4 bucks. Need I say more?

That's all for now. So what do you think?

Online Finds of the Day

Hee~ Decided to share what are the few things I saw online while browsing through their sites. Call me crazy. But I have an obsession with lingerie or what you call intimate wear. Maybe due to the fact that I am FOREVER having trouble finding something that is really sexy or nice and have it in my size.

Oh ya, first things first... It is no wonder that Victoria's Secret is doing SOOO well, as compared to other lingerie online sites or stores. Marketing and branding and SEX APPEAL does indeed play a very big part. As a woman myself, I am more inclined to buy something that the model wears in VS than in La Senza. Due to the very fact that the model looks damn hot or cute wearing that. More than La Senza. Well, we women have vanity to satisfy right. :)

So, starting first, just want to highlight this particular babydoll sleepwear on the right.

I saw it on sale in La Senza Singapore stores. I am not sure if it will be cheaper anot. But well, it is ON SALE. :) If you are interested, and stay in Singapore, can go and have a look. It is selling at CAD$29.50 on the La Senza site. I'm sure Singapore should be cheaper by a bit?


Mentioned that I ordered 2 batches from Victoria's Secret right. Well, the item on the left, the Very Sexy® 100-way strapless convertible bra, is on 25% Off, and is also the item that has the most quantity in my order. I think there are around 5 orders for this bra. And it is backordered, which means that it is really popular. For USD$37-39 bucks, 100 ways seems value for money yeah. But I did not order. As I want to try out if the sizing for VS's bra suits me first. If it does, this is one bra I am investing in!
Click here to find out more about this bra.


Victoria's Secret actually sells more than bras and lingerie, they do sell dresses and clothing. And seriously, I love some of their dresses. If only the ones that I fancies do not cost so freaking expensive. ARGH. Sigh.

Anyway, here are some of the dresses that I Lurve. Anyone want to get it for me? Hee~ I am size M.

Victoria's Secret Semi Annual Spree

I've just ordered two batches of stuff from Victoria's Secret (VS). Of course they are not wholly mine as I will be too crazy to order so much stuff for myself only, not to mention awfully rich too. But I could say that I did spent quite a substantial amount of money. Hee~

Some of the stuff I have been eyeing for ages. But due to the high price tag, I couldn't bring myself to buy it. Of course, there have alwayz been an issue of shipping costs too. But when VS starts it's semi annual spree and prices starts to get really low. And when I also stumble upon this discount code that essentially offset the shipping costs if I can hit the order amount of USD$250, I knew that I shoud not wait any longer. This is the time. If I do not ordered it now, when do I do it?

So with the combined orders of me and my friends, I not only managed to hit USD$250. I had to order two batches. Hee~ Now just to wait for the items to be shipped and delivered.

Not sure when the sale will end, but if you are interested in VS stuff. Please do go and take a look at the sale. Especially on the clearance section. You have panties going as low as USD$2.99 and bras going as low as USD$12.99. And for those who thought that you can get it from the stores, think again. The online VS store and the VS stores in US are not really affliated. In fact, you can't do an exchange of stuff you bought online at their stores and vice versa. And truth is, there are a lot more stuff online than there is in their stores.

需要你 I need you - by 孙燕姿

I love this song. It grows on me. It is not the first song that caught my attention when I listen to her latest album, Ni Guang. But it is the type that grows on you.

A song that tugs the heart. Just by looking at the lyrics, you can understand the situation or the mood which the heart is experiencing at that moment of time.

With thoughts, knowledge and feelings constantly being refreshed by new experiences and incidents, the same song can provoke different type of emotions at different stages of life.

This song touched me. Does it means that I need someone?
Very simple and straightforward lyrics. The kind of lyrics I always wanted to be able to write.
Very simple and straightforward melody. Yet lingers in your mind type of chorus. The kind of songs I always wanted to write. Why is it so difficult?


需要你 孙燕姿
作词:伍家辉 萧贺硕
作曲:伍家辉

那天晚上 望着海洋
想了很久 才想清楚
是我不安 是我无法摆脱寂寞

放下自己 忘了失去
我不再是 你的唯一
一片寂静 只剩下海潮的声音

明明不在 我学会忍耐
一个人我应该需要你
又逃不开 让脑袋游在
充满你模糊的想象里

明明不在 我学会忍耐
一个人曾想过放弃
都明明需要你
却还犹豫不定

Must Listen! *****
