SPRING on the shopping!

It's sad that Singapore doesn't have any other season besides Summer. Oh what I would give to have just Spring and Fall exist! However, the lack of seasons on this lil' island doesn't stop me from "seasonal" shopping. In my case, it means cutting down shopping to a quarterly affair *fingers crossed.

Recently developed a new-found love for H&M and its affordable basics/classics. From now onwards, I'm going to use my H&M gift card to shop since every $20 reloaded into the card will help someone gain access to clean water. Read more about it here! I'm in love with quite a few pieces of the latest #HMConscious collection and managed to purchase a couple of items already. Go check them out in stores while sizes are still available!

Great news for the planet and bad news for the economy: I've incorporated the Lean Closet Movement into my life. What I like about this campaign, that I feel sets it apart from others, is how it doesn't restrict a person to only have 5 staples in their closet. Instead, it encourages consumers to think very carefully about each and every addition to their closet and how well it would work with an individual's current lifestyle and existing wardrobe. I believe that in this manner, wastage would be brought down to a minimal which means that everyone can be better for the environment.

Pledge to live a life with fewer, better things.

That said, I've filmed a Feb/Mar haul that's been split into two parts. The first one includes my awesome order from Forever21.com, and several items from H&M that I foresee will be worn to death by yours truly. The second part consists of items from local online stores (AforArcade, AllWouldEnvy, Missypixie) that I'm in love with. Realized that most people do pictorial reviews of items from online stores so hopefully an actual video would show you the movement of the piece along with other details, so keep watching and enjoy!

Post-Exams: I'm alive!

Exams ending didn't mean all fun and happiness for me. It was rather... bad. But I'm not going to go into details because I'm trying to be positive!

SEKSY BEAST

I don't like publishing fitting room photos but these blouses are so preeeetty!

Really wanted the pale pink one but... I've like 20 new blouses that haven't been worn yet?! :(

Tip for a compulsive shopper! Go to the fitting room to try on the 874623428 pieces that you've picked out. Then take a photo of you wearing each item and see if you can Whatsapp your BFF/parents/BF/GF for opinions on whether or not you should get it. (Make sure your phone is on silent mode and doesn't make a sound when you take a photo. It'll be weird being next to a fitting room with a person taking a gazillion photos.)

When I'm not sure if something looks good on me, it's always good to get a second opinion. But the sad thing for me is that every single person I ask gives me unhelpful replies like,

"Don't you have something like that?"
"Didn't you just go shopping?"
"Didn't you already buy that the last time?"
"Why are you shopping again?"

The list goes on and that is precisely the reason why an obsessive compulsive shopper like me should seek a second opinion. To remind myself that I don't exactly need the item :( Also, taking these photos means you can have a second look at them later on if you're still shopping and if you really like it, you can always go back for it.

Be sure not to hog the room for too long though, we all wouldn't want to be waiting too long to try on clothes so please be considerate to others too!

Tried something new and didn't like it AGAIN  >:-/

My go-to place for fast food ramen is Ajisen and I've to say, the outlet at Bishan Junction 8 is the worst of the lot! The few times I've been there, I always feel like vomiting during/after my meal because there is absolutely no air in that restaurant. It's stifling and just a plain horrid environment to try to digest a meal.

I had that as a #foreveralone celebratory lunch for myself after my last paper. See how it started off terrible! Then D said to meet up for dinner though he had to rush off for a boat party. #foreveralone

Didn't know there was Sushi Tei at the top level of Ngee Ann City so we ate there, because I didn't want to walk anymore.

Ordered so much because I'm greedy by nature.... And had an upset stomach after.

Oh well here's to a happy Sunday for everyone!

When all else fails, shop!

Yay finally got my hair products from Mel and I'm super duper excited to start using them again. The samples that I got earlier really worked for my hair so I decided to purchase the full sized ones. Thanks Melly!

Here's a Lebel family in my bathroom. The little mask tub is too cute to throw away. Maybe I'll wash it and use it for when I travel.

So anyway, Mel and I met up and had dinner at Ajisen Ramen (what's new), and then we went shopping! Actually I reached Orchard first so a patrol around Forever 21 was in order. So glad I did because I managed to get some real necessities I've been looking for like a white tank top and undies.

Am SOOO in love with the fully laced boyshort undies from F21. They're really soft and feels like they're barely there. Recently, every trip I make to F21 I'll be sure to grab 2-3 pairs because the colors are always changing and I like to hoard many colors of the same design when it comes to clothes I love. Plus they're pretty affordable at $7 each.

If you need tank tops in every color of the rainbow, go to F21 now while they still have loads of stock!

My new obsession is probably with H&M. Their stuff never really appealed to me till recently when I found my white blouse and pastel shorts. Realized that the quality of their clothes is not bad and at such great prices I can't resist!

All in all, it seems like I'm just giving myself excuses to shop but I'm truly so happy after shopping. Hopefully my brain would be able to work harder and churn out nicer outfits whether it's for school or going out.

Back to completing my Psych report!
