My GSS Buys


June is the season for shopping as the Great Singapore Sales are here!!! When I was still working, I used to hate shopping during sales as I felt that the things on sale were not that attractive and it was always so crowded during the sales period. But ever since I became a SAHM, this thinking has transformed. I now LOVE shopping during sales. Especially when you are able to go to a store early in the morning when the store has just opened for business. That is when you can grab the best deals.

This is so true for brands like Kate Spade which has wonderful discounts of 30% to 50% with an additional 10% discount for Takashimaya Card holders. But the trick is you must go EARLY and grab all the nice designs cos if you go after work, all that is left are the less popular designs. When I went to Kate Spade at 10am in the morning, there were so many Japanese ladies with KS bags in one hands and toddler or stroller in the other. It was as if the bags were free! And when I went back during lunch time, there were long queues of people waiting to enter the store, waiting to get new stock and waiting at the cashier. It was crazy in there but the discounts were so so so good, no woman could resist to buy at least one bag. 

My damages since GSS started less than 1 week ago, are a Kate Spade bag and a pair of River Island jeans. My hips have grown so much after childbirth, I cant wear any of my old ones anymore. 

I have longed for this bag for so so so long! 
Thanks to my laogong and Caryn! 
Bought from Paris, $138

Kate Spade Barrow Street Anabel original price $470
30% discount + additional 10% discount = $296.10 

River Island 2. look amazing jeans original price $115
50% discount = $55

With the GSS lasting one month, I am looking forward to more good buys hopefully from Mango and Zara. ;)
