A parcel from Kelantan - that mosaic bag

It's only my second time purchasing an item via the social media from a private seller and it was quite an experience for me as I can't find this particular bag on the island . After comparing prices , I went for the person offering the lowest price , confirmed my order , paid up and waited for it to arrive .

That's me with no makeup and a crooked smile . If I look as if I'm promoting this , well , I support our local sellers all the way and especially appreciate it if they willingly settle for a lower profit margin , so I'll gladly help them out in my own way .

Seller is

who doing this on a part time basis with no helper so do have a bit of patience if you order from her ok ? 
Don't forget the underscore at the end when you search via instagram for the seller .

Perfect Pairings with a perfect price

Just looooove buying reasonably priced clothes especially when they go on sale .

How'd I end up here then ? See , soon after walking away so disappointed by the fit at Zara where I was actually prepared to fork out more than I would , I made my way to the monorail station when I came across H & M .

Omg ....the instant I saw the crowd of locals mixed with excited tourists from all corners of the world , I put in a last ditched effort . Despite my feet killing me and being dead tired from all that trying in two earlier Zara stores , I soldiered on and made 4 / 6 times in and out of the dressing room before I finally decided on this dress below .

Weekend exploring Zara

Aaaandddd....I spent the weekend browsing through two Zara stores .

It's my first time shopping in one because I live in Penang , where Zara is not represented . 

Anyway , here I am at last .

Was initially very pumped and all raring to buy stuff .

3 months of zero

Update : Man , I was so wrong . It's now the 2nd week of July and apparently some places have already started slapping on a 10% . Anyway , I'm glad I took advantage of that short window while it lasted . Brace yourself for horrible price hikes after this folks .

***********

I really hope you took advantage of the 6% + 6% one day only offer at Tesco yesterday .

The shelves were quite empty and I wonder if they can stock up fast enough for another round of shoppers today .

Not to worry if you didn't , there are more sales and discounts on today , as well as for the next 3 months !

The 6% effect

Retailers as of now , are already giving us 6% off our purchases in a heck of a lot of places and that has translated into robust crowds flocking into the shopping complexes of late .

The amount of people offering a 6% cashback or straight discount is so bewildering omg ....and then there are clothing stores such as H  &  M leading the pack with very visible notices outside their stores .

No secret code required , you just come and swoop up even heavily discounted products , no questions asked .....6 % is taken off immediately , no need to wait till 1st of June !

Completely transparent high neck top. I seriously wonder how I am going to walk around with this and a straight face . In the meantime BUY first , cry later ? Will I be brazen enough to pull this off ? Errrr no , I think I'll wear a camisole underneath you know
