S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G!!!

#1 Vest dress with pink trim --- Alice McCall for Topshop

#2 Jersey trim dress

I went into a kinda semi-crazy/obsessive shopping mode this week.

Don't ask why.

Resurrection of my former self.

Anyway, with Xmas, D&Ds and friends' gatherings all camping in this part of the year, I have every excuse to indulge.

Twice this week, i went to Vivo mall by myself at night to shop.

Pure bliss.

Fed Marco his dinner, then waited for terence to come back... and i'm out the door.

The first nite, i bought a purple jersey Hynopsis dress + a Mango dark purple party top.

While having lunch with L the other day at Far East Plaza, i bought 2 dresses for $29.

So cheap it was unbelievable.

Then last night, the final damage was done.

I bought 2 Topshop dresses, both at $30 off.

i saved a grand $60, and it was all the cashier's mistake.

I was only supposed to get $15 off each dress, but she keyed in $30 discount each instead.

I'm not complaining.

And i wasn't completely dishonest about it -- i only realised when i reached home.

I felt it was cheaper than i thought when i left the store, but i didn't do the maths cos i was still shopping around.

Only while on the way home did I look carefully at the receipt and realised i'd bagged 2 great buys. Fantastic!

I'd just put it down to... erm, good karma?

I finally got the Alice McCall for Topshop dress that I've been waiting for so long.

It's really form-fitting, and is a limited edition capsule collection.

Very very nice.

Also tried all of the dresses under the Kate Moss for Topshop range.

Unfortunately, none felt right.

The press was right - the only person who wears it well is Ms. Moss herself.

I think the designs were all pretty good, but compromised by quality.

Her pics look divine, and one would naturally expect the dresses to be likewise.
But it was all very mediocre and disappointing.

It's already her 4th collection... and even when I'm such a big fan, I can't find a single item to purchase.

OK, i've done all the shopping i can do for November.

Next paycheck pls!!!

Some other great dresses I spotted online:

Knit bow dress - Topshop.

Haven't seen it at the boutique, but lovely and understated, no?

Great dress found - at Dorothy Perkins.

I'm definitely getting this one, it's perrrfect.

Love the dark purple -- so this season, so festive, can even wear to the office!
