Life is sooo busy these days.
I don't have time to shop at all.
But still, managed to get 3 tops from Topshop + a great pair of silver pumps.
And that is just for this week.
This is gonna sound scary and freakish, but i honestly can't go a week without shopping.
In this aspect, i am your truest-blue Singaporean.
I seriously can shop anytime, anyday, anywhere.
And the damage is huge.
Lately, i've been trying to scale down purchases, skipping the brands for high-street labels instead.
Not that I was into brands, but these days, i try to avoid going into boutiques I know i used to drop hundreds/thousands at.
Like BCBG / Bebe / Max Studio / CK or DKNY / Miss Sixty / FCUK etc etc.
See? These are not even your Dior, Celine or Marc Jacobs.
Instead, I am now more at:
-- Topshop [ which i always have loved anyway],
-- Forever 21 [ hunt and hunt for the best buys, its worth your time ]
-- Dorothy Perkins [surprisingly full of great buys, not dowdy at all]
-- Far East Plaza [ alwaz cool, alwaz in, alwaz affordable ]
-- Zara [ full of mum-friendly casuals ]
There's recently a poll in the local shopping catalogue-ish mag Smitten.
Let's reproduce it here just for fun:
Most disappointing new shop: River Island [ fit is weird, overpriced, too bling and Pam-Anderson style]
Most refreshing boutique: Topshop [ alwaz evolving, alwaz updated]
Most comprehensive department store: Isetan [ fashion-forward, trendy, full of great labels under one roof, lovely service almost all the time, young yuppish crowd]
Best denim: I haven't tried enough to be a judge. But what fits me are: French Connection + Mango jeans. And of cos, the cheap types from Far East Plaza are sometimes gd enough. ]
Best multi-label store: I like Pois at Paragon. Very ex, but very desirable pieces. As well as Inhabit at Palais Renaissance and Tribeca at Forum Mall.
Best Mall: Tie between Far East Plaza, Wisma Atria, Vivocity and Raffles City. Pls pls, park me there the whole day.
Best shoe shop: Tie -- Charles & Keith at Great World City or Wisma Atria / Pedder Red at Ngee Ann City
Best Bag shop: Takashimaya Level 2 bags department / Chanel
Most Underrated: Studio M by Max Studio; Sugarhouse at Vivocity; creative mavens at Far East Plaza, gowns at Coast
Most Overrated: Mango
I am a crazy shopaholic....sigh.
