I have decided to stop supporting F21 online due to its newly introduced shipping fees. A good friend of mine just informed me that F21 has raised its international shipping fees ridiculously high. From a flat US$35, the new cost has now became:

ASOS on the other hand is still having Free Delivery worldwide on all orders with no minimum spending required since last Nov!! They used to charge a fee of £10.50 to send any orders to Singapore. However, to reward their loyal customers, they decided to waive the delivery charges. So I will now start supporting ASOS instead !

Seriously, I wonder why F21 is driving away their loyal international customers ..... Sigh !!

Spring is here !!! So have my colorful F21 dresses !!!

Look at my new dresses:

BLUE dress - Simple Sleeveless Dress

My PINK Stripe Bodycon Dress

RED Nautical Striped Tunic

However, I was quite disappointed with the two purple dresses I bought as one is too big for me while the other did not flatter me.

This doesn't suit me well

& this is too big for me:



Some interesting items from this lot !! Look at the socks !! Aren't they cute ?? They look exactly the same as what you can see on the website !!

My hubby's top was a good bargain again ! Good quality at US$5.99 !

I think I will stop buying from F21 ! I think my wardrobe is overloaded with F21 clothes ! Time for me to switch brands !!!! hahhaa ... enough is enough !!

Arggh .. we just can't control our addiction.

My colleagues and I promised each other that we should stop looking at Forever 21 , so that we can stop wasting money on online shopping every month . But the prices were too attractive to stop us from buying !

These are my latest purchases (which mostly consist of dresses) and none of them is above US$20 !!!



 Bought two tops too . The pink top on the left only costs me US$3.50 while the top on the right costs me US$6.50 only !!

Bought two pair of sunglasses too ! One for hubby and one for myself !! They are only US$5.90 each !!!

I bought hubby a Tshirt too coz it is way toooo cheappppp !! It is only US$5.99 !!

Will update more when I receive the clothes !!



Order Date: 20th Feb 2011

Packed Date: 2nd Mar 2011

Shipped Date: 2nd Mar 2011

Arrival Date:  7th Mar 2011

Forever 21 has changed their courier service from DHL to Fedex. I do not really like Fedex as I know that their delivery timing isn't as accurate as DHL . However, I was pleasantly surprised to see my clothes arrive faster than my previous orders. Fedex doesn't route their shipping from USA to HK to Singapore like DHL. Fedex is able to send F21 orders from USA to Singapore directly : ) This will reduce the delivery time by at least a day !!!

As usual, I like to share my purchases with our readers. So do take a look at my latest purchases for CNY !!

Guess how much is this dress which comes with a sleek, stylish design and a free belt ?

It is only US$22.80 !!!! I managed to grab a real bargain !!

This polka-dot tube dress is another bargain ! 

I bought it at only US$18.90 ! I SUPER love the bright blue fabric. Just right for CNY !

This dress comes with a  sweetheart neckline and a lightly padded bust.

The material of this dress is also very comfortable and it is only US$22.80.

However, I think I won't be wearing it for CNY.

I will just keep it as a wedding dinner dress since

 I have a few wedding dinners to attend this year : )

For this romper, I am rather disappointed. The color isn't what I have seen in the

original pictures : (  Luckily it is only US$15.80 and

I like the design despite the dull color.

This is my free top ! Very nice color and very comfortable !!

Haha ! My hubby's top looks exactly like the one we have seen on the website !!

Very comfortable top at only US$6.99 !! Guess which is the original F21 picture? : P

This is a nice and cheap dress bought by my colleague !

I told her that she could either wear it to work or if she has to be a "Jie Mei" !

I super LOVE this dress ! I find this dress really nice and silky !

Too bad, when I was purchasing the apparels,

there wasn't any S size left  : (  So sad !

Zara sales started yesterday. As usual, being a crazy Zara fan, I couldn't resist waking up early and making hubby drive me there.  Each year I would spend at least $300 on the sales buying clothes for hubby and I.

This year, I am proud to say that I have more self control over shopping ! The normal SG$89.90 dresses again cost SG$59.90 each during the sales. When I thought of how much cheaper it was to shop from F21 online , I decided to forgo looking at all the attractive dresses at Zara which usually make me lose self control !!  Shopping from F21, each dress would not cost me more than SG$30 (including the shipping fees)! So when I buy 3 dresses from Zara (which will cost around $180 even after discount), I can actually buy around 6 dresses from F21 !!!

Soon I was back to F21 online shopping with my colleague instead of shopping at the Zara sales. For this time , we only bought 15 apparels in total ! Hahah ..quite "lugi" when we could actually buy up to 20 apparels for a flat international fee of USD$35. We tried to confirm the order quickly as the apparels chosen were hot items and we didn't want them to be out of stock. (This is the most annoying part when shopping from F21. They do not lock your orders in even if you add the item to the basket. It all depends on who makes payment first!!) !

Anyway, back to our shopping spree! Take a look at what we bought this time round !

This is my list !!

I spent a total of US$112.09 (apparels) + US$17.50 (shipping fee) = US$129.59 = SG$166.373 for 7 items !!

That means that each item is only around SG$28 !! And I still get a causal singlet FREE because of their Clean Up Sale - Buy One Get One Free for all Sale Items !

How about my colleague ? Let's see what she bought :

 She spent a total of US$150.70 (apparels) + US$17.50 (shipping fee)  = US$168.20 = SG$215.83 for 7 items !!

That means that each item is only around SG$30.83 !!

After doing such a "good analysis" for our readers, don't you think you will be tempted to shop more from F21? Actually, I rather not !! I do not want more competitors to "fight" for the same apparels during my next spree with F21. Hahaha.

Anyway, what a great way to end my 2010 !! This will be my last blog entry for 2010! Hope everyone has a Happy New Year  !!

I just have to give two THUMBS UP for Forever 21's delivery service, I just received my order within 11 days (inclusive of 4 days of weekends!) !! And I like the way they took the trouble to ensure no damages to the items in the box and made the effort to separate small items from those bigger ones. Have a look at the 20 items (inclusive of 2 repeat items) we have gotten ! Some are Christmas presents for our family members and friends !

Separating the purses and small bags from the rest of the items:

& they look just like what I have seen on the Forever 21 webpage :

Gotten the following Sequined Tote Bags (Black & Silver) for some of my hubby's schooling cousins and if I stuffed some newspaper into the bags, I think they will look just like those photos on the website !

Wanted to get this Teddy bear bag as a surprise for Ms Chocolate

but was only left a last piece and my colleague ordered it before me : (

I am soooo disappointed, especially after seeing the actual bag coz

this is the type of tote bag that Ms Chocolate will definitely like !!

Aren't the ribbon and the pearl necklace cute ???

And we bought our colleague a SEXY Birthday present !

& my colleague got this nice shirt for her boyfriend ! Soooo SWEET ! 

 

And I bought these two bags for myself. Nice ???

The pictures of the actual bags:

And of course, we would not miss out showing off our apparels to you !!!

We each bought one piece of this working dress for only US$13.50 !!

Isn't it CHEAP ?? Too pretty and cheap, so both of us cannot resist buying it !

Must make sure we both don't wear it at the same time to work ! Haha !

I bought this top but I am not going to wear it as a top but as a dress with tights !!

And I bought this unique top . The actual top's color (red) isn't that bright as the one I saw on the website but I still think it is worth it !

The metal strap is really very very unique and special ! But quite heavy too !! hahha

My colleague bought the following apparels. I made her take some pictures
 and  let her show off here : P

I love her jacket! Money well spent ! Quality is good and

I think it will keep her warm in the office.

And guess how much it is ? It is only US$16.50 !!!! What a good bargain she got !!

And she also gotten herself a figure flattering nice knotted waist pencil skirt

And lastly, I bought a Tshirt for hubby's friend ! haha .. something which I think he would like :P
