Shopping Spree!

Last weekend was shopping spree weekend!

Iora was having a roadshow at Tiong Bahru Plaza so I went to have a look...ended up buying a black blouse for $15 and pink skirt for $23. I thought it was a good bargain cos I looked through almost everything they have there...and I really felt that compared to the rest, these 2 are really worth the price and it's something I like to wear. Plus I needed more office wear anyway...haha....

Next, I went to the Face Shop and bought a pore minimizer essence at $32.90. It was also something that I've been wanting to get since I felt that my skin wasn't as nice as last time...*sobsob*...kept complaining to my colleagues and Hun that my skin is aging liao...now I know that what they say is true....women start to age at 25 onwards. Really...I mean I really felt a big difference in my skin 5 years ago and now. Now it seems to take a longer time regain it's smoothness and healthy colour. Whereas when I was still schooling, without taking much care of my skin, it still looks good! I feel like I'm losing my youth!! So now is the time for remedy! Hopefully by the time of my wedding I will really look my best :) For the moment, must remind myself to stay stress-free and happy...and get enough beauty sleep! No more going to bed past midnight!!

Ok....I've deviated...haha.....back to shopping. Last Saturday, I went to IMM with mom after dinner...Hun had a road show there and I wanted to spring him a surprise. But he was too clever lah...he knew I was going. When we reached IMM, we went to Heart to Heart and mom saw a ring that she liked very much. I will be getting her that as a Christmas gift. Then we passed by a Kiosk that sells earrings and I bought 3 pairs of earrings for $5. AFter that, we went to Poh Heng and mom saw a pearl pendent and earrings that she liked very much and was seriously considering buying. So we asked abt the cost and everything...Again, like my Destinee pendant and earrings, she asked us to pay by credit card 0% interest instalment and she'll give us the cash. We didn't buy it then as the shop was closing, but we did ask the guy to reserve the set for us and we'll go back on sunday to get it. After that, we had a quick cup of coffee before we parted our ways with Hun. On the way to the bus stop, we passed by this kiosk selling streetwear and shoes. Their shoes were on sale and going for $9.90 a pair and $16.90 for 2 pairs!! I saw 2 pairs that I liked and mom saw 1...when she couldn't find a second pair she liked, I got to choose my third pair! In the end, I chose a pair or white, a pair of black (same design as the white) and a pair of green heels. Mom got a pair of brown heels which was the same design as my green ones.

Then on sunday, we went back to IMM to get the jewellery from Poh Heng. As we were waiting for Hun to end his road show, we went to DMK to find my wedding shoes. And indeed I found them!! I bought a pair of white shiny heels with covered heel and slightly open-toe to match my wedding gowns. And I bought a pair of golden strapped heels to match my evening gowns :) The white one was $39.90 while the gold one costs $49.90. We also finally purchased my mom's pearl jewellery and she was so happy she could find something she liked that she can wear for my wedding :) After that we went Heart to Heart to look at her ring again, but we can't find it. THe salesgirl said the ring did not have her size....strange...mom just tried it on saturday! But anyway...mom was a little disappointed, but she rationalized that her ring would be quite easy to find :) Maybe I would tell her a bigger budget so she can choose something nicer! Afterall, I'm getting my bonus....hopefully!

It has really been a "bountiful" weekend...ha!

1. Iora Blouse ($15) & Skirt ($23) : $38
