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 !!

We were pretty surprised with the free delivery service of ASOS this time round !! In less than 8 days, the Superdry clothes arrived at our home! By being willing to wait patiently for 8 days instead of buying straight from Tangs Studio, we managed to save around S$150 !! Best of all, all the clothes look exactly the same as the ones we saw on the website and are of good quality, just like the ones we saw at Tangs Studio !! My hubby was so excited that he told me that he would not get any more clothes from physical shops anymore ! He loved the excitement of waiting and receiving his first online order and he told me that he will definitely shop online again!

No, we aren't just browsing the above tops for fun! We have just spent another SG$100 on ASOS buying the tops! Please save us ! Under my bad influence, my hubby has become addicted to online shopping as well ! When we were out shopping for his Chinese New Year clothes yesterday, he happened to see this brand - "Super Dry" at Tangs and he remembered that he saw this brand on ASOS at a very cheap clearance price (around SG$20-$40). He was so excited that he started to grab both sizes S and M Tshirts and Polo Ts of this brand to try !!! When he realised the prices for The Tshirts are at SG$69 and Polo Ts at SG$99, he asked me to go home asap as he wanted to grab these Tshirts and Polo Ts from ASOS immediately.  (Can you believe it ?? We were at Orchard Road , the shopping paradise , yet he wanted to go home immediately and do online shopping !!)

Within an hour, we were back at home, glued to the laptop to help him pick some Super Dry Polo T and T-shirts. After constantly changing his mind and arguing about which apparels were better for him, we picked 3 pieces - 2 T-Shirts at SG$23 - SG$29 (Imagine !! We save approximately $50 for the same T-shirts we saw at Tangs !!) and a Polo T at SG$42 (That saves us at least SG$45!) . I think by just buying one Polo T from Tangs, we can get 2 shirts and a Polo T from ASOS!! We really got a fantastic bargain!

However, this also means that we are spending more money than we should ! And after all these online shopping experiences, hubby has more Chinese New Year clothes than me !!! He now has a total of 9 new tops (1 Tshirt from F21, 3 Polo T and Tshirts from Superdry, 2 shirts from G2000, 2 T shirts from Pull and Bear, 1 Polo T from Zara ) for Chinese New Year !! That is way MORE than me !! And I think his good friend has bought a couple more T-shirts for him from his USA trip. Does that mean my hubby is going to wear a new top for each of the 15 days of Chinese New Year ? *FAINT* KILL ME !! Why did I influence him with online shopping ???

Anyway, if you are interested in Super Dry brand, you can try it at the Tangs Studio at Vivocity. The quality of the Tshirts and Polo Ts are really good ! Much better than many brands ! We initially thought that it was a Japanese brand (The Japanese make pretty good quality clothes) and was rather surprised to find that it is actually a UK brand. We will update more on the Super Dry clothes when we receive them next month !! *VERY EXCITED*

Yes ! ASOS is offering free international delivery again ! No matter how much I have complained about their long waiting time for delivery, I just can't resist the words "free shipping" :) And thanks to my dear friends who are all addicted to online shopping like me , I received news of it once it was announced on the website.

I was planning to help my hubby buy some clothes for Chinese New Year.  However, even knowing that ASOS will never be able to make it for delivery before the first day of Chinese New Year didn't stop me and hubby browsing through the catalogues. There are 15 days in Chinese New Year, so long as we receive the item within the CNY period, we can still wear it as "new year clothes"!

My hubby couldn't resist the temptation this time !! I managed to control myself  because all my friends were telling me that I have bought many items from Forever 21 which I have yet to wear any !! From the initial 6 pieces that we shortlisted, hubby and I finally decided to buy 2 ! One was from FCUK and the other one was Supremebeing ( I have never heard of this brand, but who cares ? The Polo T looks really nice !)

This is the Polo T which we have shortlisted from Supremebeing and it costs 15 pounds (Around SG$30.50) :

 

How about the one which we have shortlisted from FCUK ? It is a Polo T which costs only 13 pounds (Approx SG$26.60) ?

 

 

We were about to make payment when we were faced this disappointment;

Argh! Why do I always face difficulty when I just want to make a simple purchase from ASOS ? Why can't ASOS introduce an option to show customers which product cannot be shipped out to certain countries ? It is really frustrating to give up on something that we really like ! My hubby was so disappointed that he told me immediately that he did not want to buy anything from ASOS despite the free international shipping !!  In the end , I managed to convince him to just buy the Polo T from Supremebeing ! It was his first shopping experience with ASOS and I didn't want him to feel too disappointed.

Now I am just hoping that we can receive the top within the 15 days of Chinese New Year !! Praying real hard !! ASOS please do not fail me again . The email which I just received said that I would receive the  order by 4th Feb 11. Let's wait and see !!

Updated on 12 Feb 2001:

Despite the long wait, we were still quite satisfied that ASOS really did fulfil the shipment even if it was just a single Polo T.

My hubby was so excited to receive his Supreme Being Polo T yesterday that he immediately put on the Polo T when he reached home. However, he was disappointed that he couldn't fit into S size (his usual size was M). I think I would have to try selling it online : )

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

Are you envious of me now ? Hahaha ... start your Forever 21 shopping now and share with me your experiences too !!
